Where has the time gone....

Well our house is a hopping like normal.  I apologize for not sharing more but by the time I think about blogging I am in bed sleeping. So here is a quick update on the boys .

Payton turned 6 in April and had a Lego Star Wars party.  He called the party "awesome" and that made me smile.  I am so glad that he loved his birthday party.  This is the last month of school and then he will be in the 1st grade.  Where has the year gone.  We had the IEP meeting and he will continue to have speech next year.  Anyone that has been around him can hear that speech is helping him alot.  We have a long road but he is so much better and we appreciate all that Mrs B has done for us.  We couldn't ask for a better speech therapist.

Braxton is a very hyper 4 year old.  He makes sure that everyone knows where he is at all times.  The most common phrase usually starts with "BRAXTON".  He loves to be outside and ride his big wheel.  He is having a blast in preschool and has two girlfriends. If you ask him hewill tell you that their names are "Katie and Maya". 

Jeff and I are very blessed to have our two sons.  If anyone asks me how my boys are I tell them they are like the moon and sun.  Payton is like the moon...he is so laid back.  Braxton is like the sun and even if you dont' notice that the sun is shining it reminds you by giving you a sunburn. 

More later....

Happy 6th Birthday to Payton!

Can you believe that Payton is SIX today?

Happy Birthday to Payton.

We remember your birthday like it was yesterday.  Daddy was just starting to recover from back surgery and I was enjoying being pregnant when all of that changed with one routine visit to the Dr office.  We hadnever been so scared and so excited at the same time.  Payton you are a great blessing in our lives and we love you.   We are blessed to have you as our Son.    Keep up the great work in school and don't ever lose that sense of humor.  

Happy Birthday!

Happy 4th Birthday to Braxton!

Today is Braxton's birthday.  He is taking cupcakes to school today.  We had his birthday party on Saturday and he had a blast.  He welcomed everyone that came to the house and told them he was the birthday boy.  He also made sure they all had a present for him also.  He is such a sweet boy.  Thank you Braxton for making us smile and laugh every day. 

January!

P and B have been good.  We did meet up with Aunt Lisa and the boys (Dylan, Nolan, Kegan and Rogan) in Bloomington and spent the after noon at Chuck E. Cheese and then to the Children's Museum.  We had a blast.  I think C.E.C was more exhausting then the museum. 

They boys are doing great in school.  Payton loves library day and being able to borrow books for a week.  Braxton loves going to school and seeing his friends.  No worries Mommy and CoCo are his best friends. 

Well that is all for now.  We are getting ready for Braxton's birthday which is only a few weeks away.  We will type more later.

If you have breakfast for lunch do you have lunch for breakfast?

Every night we tell Payton what he is having for lunch at school the next day.  Yesterday we told him that he was going to have biscuits, gravy, hashbrowns and peaches.  He was so excited and then asked "mom does that mean I have chicken nuggets for breakfast?"  It was so cute. 

Today I got home from work and the first thing he said was "I ate all of my lunch today".  A hot lunch in his belly is all that matters.

A New Year....

Happy New Year to all of you...Welcome to 2011.  As one of the things that I want to accomplish is to blog at least every other day.  I am going to strive hard to do this.  I want to be able to keep track of the boys and what they are up to now.  So here is an update from Thanksgiving to now.

Payton

• Had to get stitches above his left eye because he fell out of bed.  He did not wake Jeff or I up and he had to go to a surgeon to get it closed.  6 stitches later and he was all better.  He has a very high tolerance for pain.
• Is spelling his colors and loves to sing songs. 
• Loves the snow

Braxton

• Loves to tell stories.  It is hard for me to get in a word when he starts talking
• Uses curse words and had soap in his mouth for the first time because of this

Family-
We took a family vacation to Florida to see our extended family down there between Christmas and New Years.  We drove the 15 hours and the boys were great.  We had a whole week to do what we wanted when we wanted to.  P and B got their first Disney experience and they had a blast.  We were blessed to get free tickets.  It was a very fun but long day.  We will have to do it again.


So once a week I hope to give you updates on the boys and what they are into now.  We are gearing up for Braxton's 4th birthday...yes I can't believe he is going to be 4.  He is so excited.  Please stay tune there will be more blogging to come.  This is one of my New Year resolutions...
