SUPERSTAR!!!!

Okay so I have this little pet peeve about Christmas cards. lol. It's the letters people sometimes write to go with them. Some of them are short and sweet and to the point and give you just the right amount of info about each person. I don't mind those at all. It's the ones that go on and on about how their child excels at everything or how many trips they went on that year.
Well anyways I'd like to brag about how my child, not naming any names who can finally wipe his own butt. lol. jk.
I'm writing this post about our superstar Brayden. Yesterday, he had his second surgery this year and just 3 months or so from the last one. He did great! The nurses bragged about how great he was and how polite he was.
He is such a strong kid, he apparently has a very high tolerance for pain and will not take pain meds. He must get that from his Dad. He had bilateral hernias repaired and is doing a lot better than I anticipated. He had the surgery around 12:30 or so, he insisted on going home as soon as he came to. The nurse made him stay for a little while. We were home by 3:00pm and he was eating everything in site by 5. He even played the Wii, which most of you know takes a lot of gusto. He is an amazing child a SUPERSTAR. lol

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

So it's Christmas Eve and I'm about to lose it. LOL. jk. The boys have already been threatened with no Santa and have had all their presents taken away. In fact they have had more taken away than they are getting. HA!!!
I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, oh and to share this pic I found from a few years ago. Braxton was 18 months and Brayden was 3. It makes me laugh everytime I see it.

Haunted Milk Jug!!!!

I had just fixed Brayden his bowl of cereal and sat down at the computer when Brayden starts asking me why the milk jug is moving. I just yelled from the other room I don't know that is crazy. He was like no Mom really, the lid keeps going up and down, so I went into the kitchen to investigate, and this is what I found. lol. We went and got Jacob and Braxton too.
