Yea We Made It!!!

Today was the big day for Brandon. He graduated with his Masters in Business Administration. We are so proud of the hard work that he put into his schooling. He has set a great example to our little family and now both boys have told us that they are going to graduate from college. We are now in the process of a big move to North Carolina next week where Brandon will be working at Fort Bragg doing logistician work (Whatever that is). We will miss Texarkana and the great friendships that we have made here, but we are ready to move on and into a home. Way to go Brandon. You're the best!!!

Braxton's Tooth Fairy Adventure

Braxton's tooth had been quite loose for a few month's. Isaiah helped in the process when he head butted Braxton's mouth by accident. Braxton worked very hard by eating apples and carrots faithfully until his tooth was just hanging by a root. We tried to let it just fall out on it's own. That lasted for about two weeks, and Braxton was just a little nervous to pull it out. Finally he had a sleepover with a friend who had just pulled out three of his teeth. Braxton was a little jealous, so the next day he asked his friend's mom to help him pull out his tooth. She agreed, and in less than a second the tooth was out and Braxton said it didn't even hurt. He was so anxious to bring the tooth home to put under his pillow. We heard about the tooth fairy who left a dollar under his pillow at about 2:30a.m. when he just couldn't sleep any longer. He said that the tooth fairy kind of came because she left his tooth under the pillow where he left it.

Tiger Woods in the making

The boys are so excited for their golfing lessons. Braxton has been taking since this past Spring and Isaiah has been taking since June. Braxton makes his coach smile during the week. He enjoys Braxton's style. Isaiah usually has one on one attention due to his willingness to always want to participate.

Braxton's Kindergarten Graduation

Braxton is now an official first grader. He was able to lead the audience in the school pledge and was a big hit. After the graduation ceremony Braxton was able to leave the school and come home with mom. We can't believe that he's been in school for a year now.

Diamond Diggers

We took Grandma to Crater Diamond State Park. We dug and dug, and were able to keep whatever we found in the 37 acres. Braxton claims that he found quite a few diamonds. Isaiah tried to find the biggest rocks. Isaiah and Braxton were in their element in the dirt. What a fun and tiring day!

Braxton & Isaiah's Party Weekend

Braxton and Isaiah had a fun slumber party week end. They started right after school and got the tent set up. Dad bought treats and they shared like good buddies. They had so much fun being able to have a little freedom to play and be wild without a whole lot of restrictions. They slept better than they had in quite a while. The next afternoon we went as a family to continue with the party at the local bowling alley.
