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.



 
 
 
 

Martin Luther King Holiday Trip

The Saturday before the Martin Luther King Day holiday Danna and I took the boys to Little Rock Arkansas for an educational trip on civil rights. We went to the historic "Little Rock Central High School" were the first nine African American students had to be escorted by guards from the 101st Army Airborne division to the all white school. During our visit we went attended the Little Rock Central High musuem themed around the integration events of the late 1950's.

The pictures you see in this blog are Braxtons personal pictures he and I (Dad) took with his camera. He's also included a personal body building pose for your enjoyment.

Christmas Vacation 2008

Christmas 2008 has been great but different being away from our family and friends. We've had fun making new friends in our church, apartment community, and the the Army Fellows program that I'm in. The Christmas Season for us has been great from attentending Christmas parties, holiday shopping, and most of all spending time as a family putting up Christmas decorations, and experiencing our holiday traditions.
