BUBBA'S 4

Well Braxton turned 4 on the 21st! Bubba (is what everyone calls him) is the sweetest kid ever! He has such a tender heart and hates to see anybody upset or sad! Hailey has learned to use this to her advantage! He is such a fantastic older brother and takes such good care of Hailey! He loves to be with his cousins playing superheroes or any video game he can get his hands on! He tells me all the time that his Dad is his best friend and I love that he wants to be just like Zack! I am having a very hard time that he is growing up so fast! Happy Birthday Bubba we love you!

Hailey's 2 years old

I can not believe that our little girl is two today! We actually celebrated her birthday on tuesday. I didn't really get any pictures of the party, but I got some of her the next day playing with some of her gifts! She was so worn out on tuesday night that she went and put herself to sleep!!
Even though Hailiey can be quite the little stinker she is also so much fun!! She loves to copy everything that Braxton does! She will repeat anything that he says and she really loves to tease him!! She is the most polite little kid ever, she says thank you to everything and when Zack gets home from work she always says I missed you Dad! We love her to pieces and don't know what life would be like without her! We love you "TWEET"

sugar cookies andgingerbread train!!

This time of year is busy for everyone I know but we have Haileys b-day on the 19th and Bubbas on the 21st so things are really crazy for us!! However we have fit in some of the regular traditions! We went to FORGOTTON CAROLS with my family which I love and we have had our baking night with the kids! We made sugar cookies and fudge and then a few nights later we made a gingerbread train! braxton was so careful decorating his cookies and the train! Hailey just dumbed all her candy all over the place! It is so much fun to have my kids at an age where we can start traditions like these!

SERIOUSLY! SERIOUSLY!!!

I am so confused at why anyone would find these boys "HOT" seriously? I am not a fan of guys wearing tighter pants then the girl standing next to them or the fact that my 3 year old could kick their butts! Why in the world are pre-teen girls everywhere going crazy over these guys? I know that I may have found some boys in the past attactive that many of my friends and family have questioned!! But I am still just in shock that these three skinny little boys are what girls are going crazy for!!! Am I alone in this??????

REMEMBERING!!!

So tomorrow is Veterans Day and I thought I would take a moment and give tribute to all the men and women who have served our country and continue to do so! I try to understand what it would be like to be shot at, or wearing a bullet proof vest with your blood type written on it, sleeping in a whole that you dug in the sand! Wondering what was going to happen next and if you are ever going to see your family again! As much as I try I will never completely understand what Zack went through! I hope that everyone will continue to support all the troops and their families! I pray for them every single day and thank my heavenly father that unlike many soliders my Zack came home to me safe! I am thankful for him and eveything that he has sacraficed for his family and country! I love and adore you Zack!!

GOING PRIVATE!!!

I AM JOINING THE TREND OF GOING PRIVATE! ZACK HAS WANTED US TO BE PRIVATE THE WHOLE TIME SO AFTER THE NEWS LAST NIGHT WE DECIDED TO GO PRIVATE! IF YOU WOULD LIKE AN INVITE JUST LEAVE YOUR EMAIL AND WE WOULD LOVE TO KEEP UP WITH EVERYONE!!!

Blog Stalker !!!!!

As I was trying to avoid cleaning up the mess all around my house. I decided to get on the internet and start some of my christmas shopping! I then thought I would check out who has updated their blogs as I am doing so I start wondering on all sort of peoples blogs! I just started to go from one blog to the next blog and so on! Before I knew it a hour and a half had gone bye!!! Seriously I guess I am a so called Blog Stalker! I was not aware of how much time I could spend checking out peoples blogs! So I have decided to leave a message for all of those people that I am Blog Stalking! So in the near future if you have a random comment from me it is just me admitting to the fact that I stalk your blog! And since I hate no picture blogs here is a random picture of my kids last Halloween!

Pumpkin Painting and Haileys escape!!

So Zack and I thought that painting pumpkins instead of carving them would be a better idea for our kids and us ( I hate getting all the guts out of the pumpkin Gross!!!!) Hailey and Braxton loved it. It only took about 2 secs before Hailey had the great idea of painting her hair instead of the pumpkin!

We also had a very tramatic situation saturday night!! At about 4:30 a.m. we heard sounds coming from Haileys monitor. It just sounded like she was moving around a lot and then we heard knocking noises! So Zack went and opened her door and there she was out of her crib and holding her night light!! We are so not ready for her to be out of her crib!!! She is just such a little monkey! Naps are pretty much done with so is her just going back to sleep at night! Now she will be in bed with us just like Braxton is almost every night!!! Yeah

Photo Tag

I was photo tagged by Josie to go to my picture files and select the 4th folder and the 4th picture in the folder and post it!

My picture was Braxton at about 6 months old!! He was such a chunky boy!!! He weighed more at 4 months then Hailey does right now!! CRAZY! They grow up way to fast.

Best Friends

I am starting to understand why my sister Jamie felt the need to watch out for me all the time!! She was told by my Mom at a young age to take care of me and Jamie being the person she is took that job very seriously!!! There were times in my life that I wanted her to mind her own business!!! But the older I got the more I was thankful to have someone always on my side whether she agreed with my choices or not!!! I have found that Braxton has already taken on the role of protecting Hailey no matter what! He is always looking out for her and when she is sad she goes to him for comfort!! I found him telling friends that come and play that they need to go home if they are not nice to his baby sister!! I am so thankful that Hailey and Braxton have each other. In life it is nice to have someone always in your corner!! I know from experience!!

For anyone with advise!!!!!

So I have recently become a runner. I have always been able to run short distance but never long. For ten weeks now I have been going to boot camp. I hated it at first, but now it is an addiction!!! For six out of the ten weeks I have had a pain on both sides of my shins on both legs! I have been told I have shin splints and the only way to heal them is to stop running!!! Well I refuse to do so!!! So I am asking all you runners out there if anyone knows of something I can do. A fabulous drug I can take.... Anything!! I am at the point that I will try just about anything!!

Like Father Like Son!!!!!!!

As I was going through all of my pictures I noticed this pattern with Braxton! He is always trying to be just like his Dad. He puts fake tattoos on himself all the time, He pretends that he is being called to a S.W.A.T call out. I love that he wants to be just like his Dad! There is no better of a person for him to look up to and try to be like. I just hope that he doesn't need that constant rush in life like his Dad. Plus I added a picture of Hailey, She adores her Dad!! We love you Zack
