Braxton at 8

My goodness 8 is great. Braxton is turning into a lovely handsome little guy, who has an amazing imagination which I love because now a days not to many kids have that since technology is so advance and every kid has some sort of hand held advice. Since at 8 Braxton will be getting baptized we didn't plan a party and since Tyler was in the hospital due to complications on the mountain back packing, we did it hospital style.

First day of school

Summer went by way to fast we had lots of fun, and it's time to get down to business. Kenzie is in 4th grade this year and Braxton is in 2nd. Where did the time go? We decided to stay with Davinci Academy again this year the kids had so much fun going to school once a week and making new friends. We are sticking with Saxon Math again this year and Braxton is doing All About Reading and All About Spelling he is still having a hard time with reading so Miss Maddie suggested this curriculum for him. Kenzie is doing Spelling U see and Growing with Grammer. I have loved these Curriculum so far because Kenzie is able to do it on her own which makes it less stressful for me and then she feels more dependant.
I hope this school year is fun and they learn a lot and enjoy school.

My sweet Kayla is growing up way to fast. I'm not ready for her to become two yet, I'm not sure it's because she might be our last one or not we are still deciding. She completes our family and is so teenie tiny still and I love it. She is a big fan of frozen and loves Olaf. So I decided to make her a frozen cake cake. I couldn't form a Olaf so I had to leave him out. We didn't plan anything big but a few friends decided to join
us.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BABY GIRL!!!

Rejection, IVIG

Bye, Bye bottle

Since Myleigh was 6 months old I had to stop nursing because I got pregnant with Makayla, so I had to switch her to the lovely bottle. She adored the bottle it was her comforter. She had to have it all the time with milk, it was so sweet to see her with a bottle it reminded me that she was still little and I have a hard time letting go of things. Well the time finally came where I decided it was time for her to really give it up, we've tried but I don't think she was ready and I wasn't ready to let that part of her littleness go. But I started taking her to the dentist and they told me she was getting black little spots on her teeth from the bottle and drinking milk. So that was the big indicator that it was time. I didn't want her to get bad teeth or get silver caps. So this time I allowed her to throw away her bottles and say good bye to them. I thought it was going to be a long tough rode ahead and even worse night time I was dreading. But much to my surprise the first night she did ask for her bottle and I just had to remind her that she threw them away and she was ok with it and came and snuggled me in bed. Ever since then she has done amazing no bottles. There are times were she has asked for one but we just keep reminding her that they got thrown away!! It is a bitter sweet. My baby isn't a baby anymore, she is my little 3 year old going on 16, sassy but sweet. I love her and her sweet tender heart!!

EASTER

This year Easter was on Conference weekend. Yes we do the whole Easter bunny stuff and baskets. I don't want to take the magic out of it for my kids. They are only kids once and the look on their faces is priceless, I don't want to take that away from them. When they are ready to let go then it is their chose. I loved it growing up so I want them to love the magic as well. This year the Easter bunny did a treasure hunt for them to find their baskets they loved it. They got new church clothes and a few toys.

I loved that Easter was on conference weekend, we were able to watch conference and listen to church leaders on this special day!

Time sure does fly fast when you have little one's. I can not believe how old Myleigh is now, I remember bringing her home from the hospital small and sweet with no hair. I love her so much she is such a joy and loves to talk and sing. She makes me laugh everyday, she is one of the most sweetest girsl I no. I have 4 others!!

We just had cake and ice cream and since it was close to Easter I made her a Easter Bunny cake. She loves frozen so Tyler bought her a frozen tea set.

Happy Birthday baby girl!!
