Slowly Back in the Swing!

The move has finally come to an end!  We owe a big thank you to both of our families for their countless efforts to help us.  It seemed like it would never end!  Along with the "big" move, we were able to attend my cousins high school graduation.  I actually felt somewhat old(even though I know I am young) watching her graduate, thinking back to the days I used to babysit her and her sisters.  We have also been fortunate to have a few sunny days come our way, and of course I had to snap a few photos of Braxton.
Ricky is working like crazy at his NEW job with a company called STRATA.  It is a type of construction type work, and he does all the testing of soil, concrete, etc...to make sure it meets standards for structures to be built upon....sounds technical I know, he is still learning.  This job has truly been a blessing for our family, and even though we seem to see Ricky less, in the long run, it will make it so we can see him more.
As for me, I am 27 weeks pregnant, and doing great! This pregnancy seems to be flying by, and I am excited for Braxton's little brother to be here.  I am learning so much about who I am, what I am capable of during this pregnancy, so I can gladly wait another 3 months for him to come along, I am taking the opportunity to soak in all the education I can, mostly from others.
Braxton has adjusted great to his big boy TWIN bed.  And it's so cute to hear him get up in the morning, he usually knocks on his own door, and says, "mama????"  Most of the time he can open it.  Sometimes it gets jammed or something.  Our next step with him will be potty training....eeeek.
All and all, we are doing great, keeping plenty busy, and enjoying our summer!  We have so much to be grateful for, and so much to keep working towards.

Soakin' Up the Sun!

Every time the sun comes out, I feel the need and
desire to take Braxton outside.  Today, we met up with
 Bryce & Mandy at a park.  The kids had a lot of fun!

Play Date/Lunch Date

Today we had a little fun with our friends Kaytlin & Cash!  We had fun playing games, eating lunch, & spending some nice quality time together:)  Braxton & Kaytlin were very camera shy, BUT good ol' Cash wasn't!

Emmett Trip!

Oh the trip down to emmett!
Braxton, believe it or not, stayed in his seat, content, and okay for the 5 hours down and back.  AMAZING!  We were so happy!  We arrived Friday evening.  Grandpa was working, so we didn't get to see him till Saturday, but all the time was worth it!  It was great to see family and friends.  We were VERY busy, and after the three days, our eyes were nearly bloodshot from exhaustion!  Actually, Braxton's eyes really were bloodshot!  But we had so much fun, basketball, Grandpa's Birthday Party, shopping, dinner, and beautiful weather for Saturdays events.  I think I even got a slight tan!:)  Hopefully we will make back for another visit soon!  It's always so fun to visit & see all the other boys that were born around the same time as Braxton and to see how much they have grown.  Most of us now are all expecting our seconds, still pretty close too!
 And the flowers were BLOOOOOMING there!

How ADORABLE is CASH OWENS?!?!?

This little guy is absolutely adorable!!!  Braxton LOVES to have him over to play.  He always shares, he always gives him gentle hugs and kisses, and he always "pounds" it with him.  He even feeds him pizza.  I hope this is a foreshadowing of what is to come.....

Amidst what seems so crazy and chaotic at times, its moments like these, that remind me that life WILL slow down, give me a break and let my heart smile.
Love you Brax!

HAPPY EASTER!

We had a wonderful Easter!  We were able to snap a few photos at the church of everyone in their adorable outfits, although, the kids didn't look too thrilled to be sitting on the couch....this photo shoot was VERY short lived.  However, we all went over to my parents for a bbq later that day, and we all had a blast!  Four wheeler rides, Wagon Rides, Easter Egg Hunt, Sittin' by a fire, Tunnels for the kids to crawl through, and lots of food and goodies, we had it all!  There was definitely never a dull moment!  The weather was great too for taking some great photos!  Enjoy!
