Happy Birthday Braxton!! The Big 7

It seem as if it were just yesterday that we were struggling to make our family
until finally Braxton came into our lives. We can't believe that was seven years ago. Our Heavenly Father truly blessed us and knew the perfect child for us. He was meant be be in our lives and we are so greatful to his birth parents who had faith in us to raise this little blessing. He is an amazing boy who is so loving and caring of others. He is our little peace maker and wants others to be happy. we can't imagine our lives without him in it. Happy Birthday Big guy.

A Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas morning (kind of). Braxton woke up at 11 p.m. to see if Santa had arrived yet. Then both came into our bedroom at 1 a.m., 2 a.m., 3 a.m. and then finally at 7:15 a.m. we had to wake the boys up. They were so excited to see what Santa had brought them. Braxton asked for night vision binoculars and Isaiah asked for anything Scooby Doo. Both were happy and Santa spoiled us all. Merry Christmas everyone.

Christmas Eve Dinner

We had a fun Christmas Eve dinner with our neighbor and her daughter who's husband is deployed and Brandon cooked the ham.

Building and Constructing!

The weather is getting cooler here so we aren't going outside as often as we were before, and Brandon has reserves this weekend so the boys and I stayed home and built gingerbread houses. They were so quite for about an hour and a half. Yea!!!! They both had a great time. More frosting and chocolate chips made it in the mouth than did on the houses, but all in all they had a blast, and the houses turned out great!
