I know that when you look at Brayden you don't think that he ever grows. Well, I was browsing through these old pictures on my computer and I ran across this cute picture of him and his buddy Maddox. It was taken in March of 2006! I thought it was so cute and thought I would share it.
So I know I haven't posted in awhile it is just because I feel like CRAP! Yes, I spoke to soon when I said I felt great. A few weeks ago I started getting morning sickness at NIGHT. I think that I would rather be sick in the morning rather than the night because it was disrupting my sleep and I really hate that! I also have had migraines for oh the past week or so. I do get headaches anyway but I think it has been a combination of caffeine withdrawal( I have been cutting back ), having a head cold and HORMONES. I feel much, much, much better this week and life will start to get back to normal-- whatever that is!
I don't know if it is me being pregnant and grumpy (well I am sure it is that) but my kids are driving me crazy. Mainly just Jaxon, he is hitting the terrible twos and he might not even live to see his second birthday if he keeps it up. :) On Sunday we were all ready for church and the boys were in the bathroom brushing there teeth before we walked out the door. Jaxon of course thinks he is big enough to brush his teeth like his brothers so he was in there with them. They finished and came in my bathroom so I could do their hair. We were finally all ready to walk out the door and I called Jaxon's name. He didn't come after the second time calling his name. I went in the bathroom to check on him and he was sitting in the bathtub fully clothed with no water in the bathtub and holding the bottle of shampoo upside down. He was having a great time squeezing it, watching the shampoo go ALL OVER HIM and squeezing it again. Needless to say I was so upset I didn't take a picture of it. This meant new bath and find new church clothes and I hate being late to church. This had to happen on a Sunday that Randy had to work so I had no help. This started off such a wonderful week with Jaxon! All I have to say is it is a good thing he is cute!!!
I know that this picture has nothing to do with the post but it is cute of Jaxon dressing himself.
YES THE RUMORS ARE TRUE WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!! This makes 5 for us together, YIKES!! What is our Heavenly Father thinking to entrust us with his precious children:) I was going to do a really cute post and have a picture with it but it didn't happen. Randy went over to my parents house late on Saturday night and wrote on their car window, New Grand baby coming 8-09. So my plans were to take a picture of it and post it but by the time my whole house was feeling better they already washed the window! My due date is August 25th and because I have all my babies cesarean I get to plan it for about 10 days early ( at least I get to plan something even if it is not when I get pregnant!!) Anyway it works out perfect because I will be up and around before Brayden has his first day of Kindergarten. I know what you all are thinking, wow I really hope they have a girl this time, but don't get your hopes to high our track record is not that great!!!!! Randy is still in denial and I am done crying about being pregnant again so all is good and we can't or I should say I can't wait to meet the new little addition to our family.
I know I haven't blogged for awhile but I could not pass this one up! Yes, there is snow in OUR BACKYARD!!! Trent and Brayden loved it from the time it started coming down. Brayden said, "can I open my presents now!" For some reason he has connected snowing with opening Christmas presents. Those two played and played in the snow having snow ball fights and just jumping on the trampoline. I went out with them to play and man do they have good arms, they both nailed me multiple times from across the backyard with a snowball! After we made a snowman, I decided to wake Jaxon up. He was very cautious at first. I didn't have any gloves for him, so the first picture I took of him he was trying to get the snow off the ball that was on the lawn. As soon as he touched the snow he started crying. So I got a nice picture of that too! Once I put some socks on his hands and showed him how to make a ball out of the snow and throw it at his brothers he loved it. I guess it might of helped that the rule was no one could throw a snowball at Jaxon so he had a great time. I had to empty my memory card before we went sledding so I thought I would blog this and I will blog sledding later. 
Yesterday was Brayden's Birthday! I can't believe he is five years old. I know he doesn't look it but he is. We had a great day yesterday he woke up to 5 balloons in his room with $1 bill in each one. He asked how he got them out of there I said, "I don't know what do you think?" He went and got the fly swatter and started whacking away. I then told him you probably should just sit on them so he finally popped them all! Then of course a birthday wouldn't be a birthday without some roll up pancakes for my kids!( AKA - Swedish pancakes, Crepes) My kids love them but I hate standing in front of the stove forever and they eat them as fast as I can make them and then want more! So on there birthdays they know I don't have a choice but to do it for them. He had preschool yesterday so we took in treats to the class, but the highlight of the day was his very first friends party! We told him he could choose 3 friends and we would take all of them to the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay. So we loaded up the car after Randy got home and headed out with Randy, Me, Jaxon, Brayden, and his friends Maddox, Nick, and Avrie in one car. Brayden's cousin Zachy that he adores followed us out there with Trenton in his truck. The Shark Reef was so much fun it was fun to watch the kids and see how excited they were about EVERYTHING! They gave us the wands so we can plug the number in of the exhibit that we were looking at and hear about it. I thought the kids wouldn't want to use these but they were all about them. They wanted me to push the number for all of them. They Loved the sharks swimming over their heads and under there feet!!! When we got back in the car I asked them if they had fun, they all said, "YES"! Cute Nick said can we do this next time.After the reef we went and picked up some pizza and back to our house for presents. Grandma & Grandpa came over to meet us at our house for presents and of course help for putting the presents together!
Brayden is my most challenging child but he is also the one that comes up with the funniest things. He loves to play with Trenton they are best friends and he is lost at home without him. When it comes to sports Brayden is a natural. He loves playing baseball and has a great arm. He always had since he was little. A couple of years ago my nephew David was over at our house. Now David always seemed to have a way of talking Brayden into things and calming him down. Well this time was a little different. Brayden had gave me a water bottle and wanted me to write a B on top so he knew it was his. So I did this and he was convinced that it was not a B, and started having a fit because he wanted a B on there. This was the time that David walked in. He asked Brayden what was the matter and Brayden chucked the water bottle across the room at David screaming it's not a B. He only missed David's head because he quickly moved it when he saw the bottle come flying at him. ( Do you see why he has been my challenge) He has grown up a lot in the past two years. He is very helpful to me and always keeps Randy and I laughing at the funny things he says.He is a good friend and his teachers alway say they love having him in class. We love you Brayden and hope you had a great BIRTHDAY!!!
I have to tell this story about Trent. Today after church Randy told me that they had to go to a fireside tonight. Trent of course was listening in the back seat. Randy and the boys have been building a lot of fires lately and they went with him to scouts a few weeks ago and learned about fire safety and loved it. Well when Trenton heard that they had a fireside he got all excited and said,
"we're building a fire tonight!" Randy and I started laughing and I guess we never explained it to him because he just finished saying his prayers and asked Heavenly Father to keep Randy & Cameron safe at the campfire!! I didn't have a heart to explain to him what it was after that. I thought it was so innocent and cute that I had to write it down before I forgot. 
I know I really need to catch up. WARNING WARNING this is going to be a long post!!! The Sunday before Halloween Randy's aunt passed away. He was really close with his aunt as he was growing up so he had a really hard time. He ended up flying up to Oregon to be there with his family and for the funeral. I stayed home with the kids and made sure they got to their Halloween parties for school. Randy flew home on Halloween, he made it home about an hour before we went to the church for Trunk or Treat. The kids had made a welcome home sign for him so I thought it was only appropriate to get their picture in front of it. We really missed Randy while he was gone. He hasn't been doing many side jobs so we are used to having him home with us.
The kids had a lot of fun at their Halloween parties for school. Here is a few pictures that I took. 
Every year we go to the Trunk or Treat at the church. It is always a lot of fun and it is much faster than Trick or Treating!! ( I really don't like Halloween) Pretty much all of the family goes down to the church now so it makes it a lot of fun and you can always count on Jess & Liz to surprise us! 
Jaxon was the cutest little baseball player. He wouldn't let me put on the superman costume but the baseball player he didn't have a problem at all with. 
Okay that is enough for today I am tired!!! I post more later!
