Big boy bed!

Isaiah has never had a big boy themed room because we wanted to wait until we were back in a house. He told us that he wanted a dinosaur room. So I went online and found dinosaur bedding that I could live with. He loves his new room! And needless to say so does the family.

Our Tiger Cub!

Braxton was able to wear his scout uniform to his first pack meeting this week. He was so proud of how he looked. He received his first belt buckle this past Monday for biking and safety. He has been working so hard to earn more awards. We are so proud of him. Way to go little guy!

Labor Day Splash

Well, we finally made it to NC!!! The second (literally) we pulled into our new home we had two neighborhood children asking us if we had children. The boys are loving our new house, freedom and all of their toys that have been in storage for the past while. They are free to be boys again. They are outside a lot and love to explore the back yard. Isaiah keeps asking for bug spray; he claims that bugs keep flying into his ears. Braxton loves school and his new teacher. He also just started Cub Scouts last night. We love our new home. We have already made a day trip down to Carolina Beach with the boys. They had a blast and have asked us every other day when they can go again. Braxton had so much fun body surfing with Brandon and Isaiah's highlight was building sand castles and watching the waves knock them down.

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.
