Braxton birthday party

First of all I took Braxton to his 3 yr check up and he is in his 20 % of height and weight he is now 29 pounds ( out weighs kenzie now) they weighed her just for curiosity and she is 28 pounds. He is growing and his well check up went well no concerns. He also got no shots this year yeah.
Saturday we celebrated his birthday we started out at Hollywood connection. Thanks to the hope kids foundation, the kids had fun and enjoyed all the rides.
The party started at 5 so we came home at 3 and set up the pavilion. We ate pizza then did pin spider man to his web. Then I hung up pictures of spider man's villians and had the kids all go spray them with silly string which lasted a few minutes then they started spraying everyone else, Which was pretty fun watching the kids running around laughing and getting everyone. We then ate cake and Ice cream which I made a spider man cake which turned out pretty good. After cake and Ice cream Braxton opened up his presents he got some really fun toys. It was a very busy day but Braxton had fun and hope he remembers it all.
Happy Birthday baby boy

My big boy

Braxton's birthday was yesterday but I am slow at writing in my blog.
What a wonderful 3 years it has been to be blessed with such an amazing boy. I wish I could keep you little but I can't. Being able to watch you grow everyday makes my heart so full of joy and happiness to know that you are mine.
I love that your little personality is so unique and boyish but you still always have time for snuggles which I hope you will never outgrow. You are truly an angel sent from above and I am so thankful that my heavenly father entrusted you to me by letting me be your mommy. I love you and I am excited to continue to watch you learn and grow into a handsome young man. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and love you so much. Happy Birthday my Big Man
Love, Mommy

30th Birthday Surprise

My birthday was last Thursday and Tyler told me I had to find a babysitter for 3 days so he can do something fun for my big 3 0 yikes. He told me that it was a nine hour drive so i figured California. I was excited but nervous to leave my kids for that long I have never left them with anyone longer than a day and it was really hard for me especially that far away. I kept thinking what if something happened and i wasn't there. Or if kenzie got sick or missed her meds. I would never forgive myself.
We left on Wednesday my mom was able to watch them the whole time which made it easier on them, on the way there I felt excited but empty. I am leaving my kids behind they seemed ok when we left but I wasn't I did cry a few times thinking about them but Tyler ensured me that my mom is watching them and they will be ok.
6 hours later we are by Las Vegas Tyler asked if we could stop for a minute and rest, ok that sounds fine but after we started driving and he missed the freeway exit I was annoyed then he pulls in the Treasure Island parking lot driving around and he missed the exit I told him what am I suppose to tell people my vacation is driving around a stupid parking lot. I was annoyed by now, again thinking we still had a few more hours to get to California and it is getting late and my butt is getting tired of sitting. He then pulls into a parking stall and says he needs to go to the bathroom. The light went on and I finally realized we were staying in Vegas. At the Treasure Island hotel in a suite. The suite had 2 bathrooms one with a shower and the other with a jacuzzi. It was a nice room.
I have to add that I called my kids at least twice a day to make sure kenize got her meds and that they were doing fine. Braxton had a hard time the first night woke up standing at the wall crying for mommy and then stood at the bedside still crying waiting for me, then decided to go to bed when my mom told me that then next morning it broke my heart and i cried for a little bit thinking i am his mom and I should of been there for him. Then next night he sleep the whole night which made me feel better.
The time there we mainly walked the strip, it defiantly has changed since the last 5 years we've been there. Tyler had a surprise activity planned and when he told me about it, it was jumping off the Stratosphere hotel part of me wanted to but the other part is a chicken plus it was going to be $250 for both of us to do an 8 sec jump it would have been neat to say I jump off the stratosphere but I chickened out. We didn't end up jumping, Instead we decided to go see David Copperfield it was amazing show and half the price as the jump. I might add.
All in all it was a perfect 30th birthday and I was very surprised, and proud of Tyler for doing such a good job at taking care of all the plans.
