Great to be 8!!!

Braxton turned eight years old today. I can't believe he's old enough to be getting baptized already. Braxton started off the day by making pancakes for the family by himself(with Grandpa's supervision). And only one made its way onto the floor. Delicious! We took the grandparents to the Airborne Museum and Braxton spent about an hour freaking people out by pretending he was a human statue along with the other mannequins there. Grandpa Denning told Braxton that he would take him to any restaurant that he wanted to go to and so he chose his favorite, Red Lobster. He ordered off of the adult menu and had the 1 1/2 lb King Crab Legs and ate every bit of it. We celebrated Braxton's birthday yesterday afternoon at our Army Base's ice skating rink. What a blast! And the best part about it is that it was the most relaxing party that we have done. No games, no mess, not much money, mom is happy. Life is good!

Santa brought the Snow!

Braxton loves spending time with his Grandpa playing wii. And Isaiah loves sharing his stickers with his Grandma.










When Santa left, he brought the snow with him! We had a blast getting to play in the snow the day after Christmas (Yes, they canceled church does this count as a family Sunday activity?). Isaiah told me that he ate some snow and he said it was delicious. We were waiting for Grandma Jenkins who was stuck at the Salt Lake City Airport waiting for her flights to re-open. She made it here at about 1:30 a.m. We're glad that she made it here safely.

Santa Clause Came to Town!!!

We had a blast with our boys this Christmas! The boys were up at 12:30 a.m. and we didn't realize it until 2:00 a.m. They were jumping around on Braxton's bed with smiles on their faces. Mom came in and told them that they needed to go to bed right now. They couldn't stand going back to bed, but they didn't wake back up until 6:30 a.m. who could complain about that? Santa delivered this year and both boys received most of what that they wanted Braxton got a b-b gun and Isaiah an Easy Bake Oven and his all time favorite a pack of 390 stickers. They played with the rest of their toys all day while waiting to go to the airport to pick up Grandma and Grandpa Denning.

Happy adoption Day Isaiah!

Isaiah has been ours for four years now! And this past weekend we were able to celebrate this special day with him. We had pizza and cake and watched a movie. He has brought so much joy and excitement into our lives. We are truly blessed! We are so grateful to his wonderful birth mother who placed her trust in us to raise her little one. He is such a happy little boy who loves to play tricks on everyone and tries to get a laugh. He is so loving and caring to all who are around him. He also loves to share stickers with everyone. He is attending preschool here and loves every minute of it being one of two boys in his class. We love you big guy!
