Back To School

Today I sent my girls back to school. I am still a litte confused about what happened to summer?? They were so excited and I had to beg them to let me take them for their first day instead of riding the bus. We had back to school night on Tuesday so it was nice for them to see their class and meet their teachers so that they felt a little more comfortable. They both seem to have great teachers. So now Braxton and I are going to have to figure out ways to keep ourselves entertained. Braxton will prob be really happy that he can sleep in peace and play by himself without his sister's trying to smother him. Me on the other hand am going to be pretty bored. We will see how it goes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAY-BAY!!!!!

Today my precious little girl is turning 9 years old!! I just can't believe how old she is getting. The thing I am having the hardest time accepting is that she is in fourth grade.....two more years and she will be in middle school!! Where did my little baby go? As most of you know Bailey is one in a million. She has the cutest and most outgoing personality. She always has us laughing and can always make you smile. She is such a good sister and always such a great help to her mom! She is a great example not only to her friends but to her family. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS! We love you so much and hope you have an awesome day! We are headed to Seven Peaks with my fam tomorrow for her birthday and spending the weekend playing in Park City so I will have lots of fun pictures to post once we get back. We love you Bay!!!

A Boy and his Crazy hair!!

This picture just makes me smile so I thought I would share it! We bought a new swing out on our porch and Braxton loves to swing on it. He is definitely just like his mom! We sit out there just about every night and I just love it! He also hates his veggies but chows his fruit. Just like mom. He is now eating his food so we have made some progress. Bay and Brin are starting soccer and we are really excited about that. They both have great coaches and it is going to be a lot of fun watching them play. I can not believe school starts in 2 1/2 weeks!!! Where did the summer go???

Hooray for Food.....Or not??

Braxton had his four month check-up on Monday and man is he a chunk!! His official stats are:

18 pounds 10 ounces 97%

25 3/4 inches long 80%

17 inch head circ. 75%

The doctor was laughing at him because he says most kids are 20 pounds when they are about a year old and he is pretty sure he will be past that mark next time he sees him. I love it though! He is so cute and such a happy baby. So I was all excited to finally feed him some real food and he will not eat it!! He spits it out and gags all the time. I am getting a little frustrated because I don't know what to do. I guess I will just wait a little bit longer and then try again. Maybe then he will be ready???? I just knew he was going to chow down but I guess I was wrong!!

5 Years and Counting!!

Today is our 5th anniversary and I can not believe how fast time has gone by. I have the most amazing husband! He is such a great dad and has been that rock for me in my life. We have been through a lot together. A lot of trials and also some great times. Here are a few of the many reasons why I love Ryan:

He makes me laugh!!!

He is my best friend!
He is an awesome DAD!!






I could go on and on. Thanks Babe for being such a great husband and dad. I love you so much and can't wait to see what the years ahead bring for us. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!
