Missing Picture

I normally am the picture taker so I rarely get pics with the boys. 
Brax really liked this pic so I thought I should put this one in so we have proof I was at Ryan's birthday party too!!

Pinterest Attempt

I have done a few things from Pinterest but not as many as I would like.  We decided to try a new recipe out with Reece and Xander here.....Rolo Sugar Cookies!

Stuffing the cookie dough with Rolo's

The finished product

Trying them out while watching a movie!


These weren't my favorite cookies ever but Reece sure liked them. 

School Is Almost Here :(

The crummy feeling we all get when school is just around the corner has hit!  We all know it's coming because we start having "meetings" all the time.  Melissa has meetings a few days this week so Reece and Xander came over for the day.  My meetings are next week so the kids have to go to friends houses for two days without me :(



Surfin

Putting a new spin on the Buzz sprinkler

My little water bug

Reece was diggin the shark towel

Since the kids love the Olympics they made up their own Olympic game.
It's kind of like limbo with the sprinkler.

Hudson and Xander doing synchronized water limbo

Nice seat

Reece styled Braxton's hair

Time to tan :)

Bowling with Ryan

Our friend Ryan turned 5 last week so we all celebrated at the bowling alley.  The kids loved bowling and really improved over the hour it took them to finish one game! 

The Birthday boy and Brax

Braxton was super excited about the games when we walked in...Hudson on the other hand was super excited about the vending machine.  He was standing in front of it saying "Whoaaaaaaaaa"!

Brax loves to bowl....he did pretty good and bowled a 100!

Ty making sure no one took any of the bowling balls

Reagan was really enjoying the cheese!

Reagan, Hudson and Reece
Ryan's adorable sisters.....Nate always says they are two of the cutest little girls ever!

Maddie is her mother's daughter!
She brought a purse full of the necessities every girl needs including money.
I asked her if she was going to buy me something and her response was "No, I"m saving it for college!"

Ty's turn

When I asked Ryan to get a picture with Brax Reagan ran right over and put her arm around Ryan.
I think Dani has her trained well!!

Thanks for inviting us to share your special day Ryan! :)

Wedding Fun

One of the football coaches got married Friday night so we joined many of our friends to celebrate with them.  It was a no kids wedding so the boys stayed all night at Papaw Perry's house.  We had a blast dancing and hanging out with great friends!

Hudson has Officially Moved

My baby boy has turned into a big boy so we thought it was time for him to move out....of our room that is.  Brax is so happy that Hudson is finally in his room and they can be roommates!  I am a little sad but really excited that I can again watch T.V. while laying in my own bed!!!!!!  It's the little things in life :)

Hudson helping Daddy put up some new blinds so the room will be dark for naps.

My big boys!

I'm sure Braxton will end up in Hudson's bed tonight because he thinks he has to protect him. 
Brax has been trying to convince me to just buy them one big bed so they can sleep together.
 I'm glad they love each other so much!!

No More Training Wheels!

Today we went to Dillon to let Brax practice riding his bike without training wheels.  I am proud to say he did awesome!  The very first time he tried he went a long ways before wiping out and was so excited.  The Garber's also came so Maddie could give it a try and she will be a pro before too long also!  I'm sure after a few more trips they will be riding around everywhere.  I didn't do the greatest job taking pics with my camera so check out Juna's blog for some better pics :)

Proud of his bike with no training wheels!

Playground time

Maddie swinging high

Practicing again

This is what Hudson did the majority of the time....play and eat whatever he found on the ground

Yay Brax!!

After our morning of practice we had some lunch and then headed for home.
Brax can't wait to go back out to Dillon and practice some more :)

Blitz with Friends

This week's play date was supposed to be at the pool but the weather was not cooperating so we decided to make a trip to Blitz.  We haven't been there in a while and the kids have definitely grown up a little because they were pros at the games.  After eating and playing games we headed over to the mall to play in the play place.  It was a great day and we are very lucky to have such wonderful buddies to play with!

Mud Run

Nate and some of his buddies had a Mud Run Saturday morning.  They had a lot of fun and Brax was excited that he got a new medal out of the deal!

Hudson's new thing is to stick his tongue out all day long!
