Happy Birthday Braxton!

We had a GREAT birthday with Braxton this year, besides the fact that on his ACTUAL birthday, he was sick with a double ear infection.  But, we celebrated a week later with family.  What a blast!  Thanks to everyone for your kind and thoughtful gifts, and warm hearts!  We love you all.

MY little Sickling

So I was hoping today would be a better day for him,

 he started to get a cough on Tuesday, so I thought

 by Friday he would be better.  Nope.  Poor guy has not

 moved from this spot since this morning.  Who would

have thought a cough would cause this much

 discomfort!  Happy Friday!

Eastside & Ferdinands

This last weekend we had the opportunity to go with the allen's to Eastside marketplace and let the kids play around!  There were SOOOO many kids there!  But it was fun watching all of them play together.  Kloee loved to hang out on this frog, I think she knew it was her "safe" spot.  And Braxton the little daredevil, followed all the kids around, (especially the girls!!!! AHH) and went down the slide about 50 times!  We decided to get dollar scoops at the little ice cream place at the end of the mall.  YUM!  Lots of fun!

Boys will be boys!

Today, Braxton and I got to play with Blake & Cody Van Tassell!  We had so much fun!  We love having them over!  They all play so well together!  And Braxton loves having some good "Boy" time!  We had a fun time snapping some pictures too!  It was hard to get a good clear one, these guys are MOVERS!  But we had fun!

Recently

Recently we have been so full of bad weather and being sick!  Braxton had a cough (luckily that was all), I had a nasty head cold, and now Ricky is suffering through catching my head cold.  But things are looking positive.  A few updates:

Braxton is has officially outgrown his crib, and we are moving him to a twin bed.

Ricky is building Braxton's twin bed, and is almost done! Wahooooo!

I am about 15 weeks pregnant, and everything is going great!  I am also taking an 8 week photography class that I am LOVING!

Summer is rapidly approaching, we are gearing up to move...AGAIN.  Sadly, we will miss this place SO much, but juggling work and school, is tough, and looks like we are going to try and qualify for subsidized housing for our last year in a half.

Braxton talks more and more each day.  He is recognizing colors, letters, shapes, characters (especially woody and buzz from Toy Story).  He is a joy & delight!  Each day I think, what a wonderful big brother he will be.  Did I mention he will be turning TWO this month!?!?!?!?!?!?!? YIKES.  Cannot believe that.  But sometimes I DEFINITELY believe it!

We love you all, thank you for everything.

Lately

Lately,

Braxton has just LOVED playing in this window with all his cars, I feel like this is all I ever post about in regards to him, but what can I say, he loves his cars, and he loves having "places" to drive them, line them up, park them, etc.

However, today, he found a NEW place to play.  We have been practicing coloring, and he loves it, and he really does a great job at staying on the paper...........................MOST of the time.  He has never tried to color on anything else, till today. 

Thank heavens for washable markers, it took literally 2 seconds to wipe up.
