Long time...no see :)

Wow! I've sure neglected the blog this year. With the new school year starting and so much time on my hands, I decided to blog again, maybe. Update on the kids... Brayden: Holy Crap! We have a teenager, Brayden turned 13 this month and actually I'm surprised we are all still alive. ;) Let's hope the teens are better than the preteens for us. He really is a great kid just a little stubborn at times. I have come to realize that having a teenager is a lot like having a 3 year. Brayden started 8th grade this year and it will be his last year of middle school. :0 He is playing baseball and football. He is working on becoming an Eagle and just about has his Life Scout. Braxton: Braxton turned 11 in June. He continues to amaze with his tricks and flips and all sorts of things he does. He never stops going, jumping, climbing and running. He started his first year of Middle School this year and is in the 6th grade. He is in a bit of shock I think but I remember that with Brayden too, keeping up with all 7 classes, homework, projects etc... HE will be a pro in no time. He isn't playing any sports right now, just letting him adjust to his new phase of life.
Bo and Brynn: They turned 3 in April. So far this seems to be the most challenging age for me with them. They are very indepedent and both want totally different things at the same time. Bo seems to be the more laid back easy going, a lot like the other boys and can be reasoned with pretty well. He loves to talk, talk, talk. He is constantly making up stories and entertaining us with his cute and lovable personality. He loves to play with toys, especially "boy" ones. Everytime we go to a friends house he wants to make sure they are going to have boy toys to play with. lol! Brynn is a firecracker for sure. She keeps me on my toes and is always letting me know she is a princess. HA! She is my best helper, she always wants to help with the dishes, clean mirrors, load or unload the dishwasher, switch the laundry and fold it. She seriously has done more in her 3 years of life than either of my older boys have ever done. It's so fun having a girl. She loves to play pretend with her dolls and stuffed animals. It's so fun watching all my kids grow and learn each day. That's all for now until something exciting happens.
