Friday! Its Friday!

Its Friday!! I would love it even more if I was at home with my boys today but I'm still very happy its Friday!

Last night I was laying in bed with Brady and he was in one of those half asleep states. I love it when he's like that, he's such a cuddler and it feels my heart with so much love when he wraps his little arms around my neck at night and presses his face into mine. It got me thinking about how I completely ache for just the touch of my boys sometimes. How is it possible that we can love such little people so much? I would do absolutely anything in the world for these boys.

This is a picture of my boys playing video games last night, pay no attention to my lack of decor yet. I promise curtains are going up this weekend.We've had so much going on with the move, getting ready for ball season, work, that I've come to realize that one of my best friends has been getting me through all this.....sometimes 2-3 times a day, please meet my friend Roost........I'm gonna leave this blog with a super cute pic that my sis-in-law made of Brady. He is a Mario addict and loves to just stare at this pic. Thanks Kris!!

My forgotten blogs getting ready to get a FACELIFT!

So, this is my forgotten blog...as you can tell. So much has happened since my last blog....Christmas, Brady turning 2, and the biggest change is we are now residents of the city of Jenks!!!

We just don't have time to take care of 5 acres, and having to pay for a house on that much land is just ridiculous so we decided to move to a housing addition. Of course, the closest ones to Beggs is Glenpool and Jenks. Our house sq footage is much smaller but that's okay, much less to clean!! I'll post pics if I EVER get everything put up. Brax is staying in the Beggs School System so that's one less change for him but he's already made friends in the neighborhood so he's loving having someone to play with all the time!

Another big change is I'm getting ready to embark on the scary world of P90x..have I lost my mind? My hopes are not to lose any weight but tone up. About 6 years ago I was at an uncomfortable weight but after losing around 20 lbs all together (well I gained about 40 when I had Brady but it fell off fast luckily) I like the weight I'm at now so if I gain a few pounds of muscle that's totally okay with me. But I'm SOOO out of shape its ridiculous. I almost died playing Just Dance on the Wii last weekend. And don't even get me started on trying to carry laundry baskets upstairs?!?! But if I don't start now I wont ever start. This though shall help keep my blogging regular as I'm sure I'll will have lots of comments and much needed venting about the regimen.

Look for some colorful, maybe even ugly posts coming soon!!!

I love the Fall!!!

I'm so glad its fall!!! This is my absolute favorite time of year. I love both Halloween and Thanksgiving and all the warm decor that goes along.....I love football season, both College-Go Cowboys and High School-Go Demons.......I love the smell of pumpkin and apple spice candles burning in my house......I love going to Braxtons baseball games and not sweating to death.......and most of all I just love being able to play outside all day with my boys and doggies!! We've been pretty darn busy with HS football Friday nights, my nephews little league football on Saturdays and then Brax's baseball games every Sunday! Bradys at the age right now that he wants to run around everywhere so I've burned lots and lots of calories chasing him around at all the games!!

Here's a few pics of whats been going on this fall so far.......

Since Braxtons in Middle School now he's started band, he's playing the Baritone!Brady Bug loves going to all the ballgames, he's rep'n our team in this one!!My friends Amanda was able to get us front row tickets to Disney On Ice....all my besties and our kiddos loved it!Braxtons a little too old for these shows but he went along so he could get some fair food afterward!Stew, Kris, Joby, and I got to enjoy the fair one night without the kiddos, we had a really really good time!!My cousin Karri had Sweet Baby Camden last month, hopefully I'll get to see him again this weekend at our cousin Brooks baby shower but I'm sure he already looks so different!!

This week I'm going to get out my fall decorations so that I can decorate our front porch. Can't wait to post pics!!

The summer has came to an end.....sorta

Well, back to school time is here. Tomorrow morning I will be driving past the Elementary school and dropping off Bubba Chubba at the Middle School. I can't believe my baby is in Middle School!?! We had meet and great with the teachers last night, of course we already know most of them but at least Brax got to make his way from one class to the other. No crayons, glue, or scissors on this years supply list......just big kid stuff. He's so pumped about 5th grade, I'm not sure if its because he's in a bigger school now or if its really because in Middle School you get to choose from 7 different flavors of ice cream to buy at lunch. He's starting band too this year so it might be a good thing our neighbors aren't too close! I'll post pics of tomorrow before I drop him off since I'm not allowed (by him) to walk him in on the first day of school!

With one kid at school that leaves me only one monster at home, and I mean MONSTER!! This kid is sooooo different than his older brother. He's so stinkin ornery!! He's not bad by any means but Joby and I have been so spoiled by the "golden child" that Brady is a handful! He likes to hit, throw things, throw fits in the floor, bang stuff on the tv, push the dogs around even though they are bigger than him, get into stuff he knows he's not supposed......I could go on and on but he does all of this stuff giving a completely innocent sweet smile! Joby and I already tease that when he starts school the principle will have us on speed dial.......hopefully we are exaggerating lol.

He is very entertaining though. While Brax liked to dance, talk, always be the center of attention, Brady would rather be playing with his cars or playing baseball....the kid is obsessed with baseball. Its pretty cute though!

Well, enough of my rambling....gotta get Brax all ready for school tomorrow!!

July...

Okay, so I noticed on my bff Missys blog that "Jessica" 's last blog post was 5 weeks ago.....where has the time went? So much has went on, I'll just sum it up with some pics....

Jen, Michelle, Mandy, Krissy and I went to see Eclipse at the midnight show!! I forgot to take any pics of us in our different super cute shirts, but this is what mine looked like! The movie was soooo good but I can't believe we have to wait until November of NEXT YEAR for Part 1 of Breaking Dawn......UGH!!We started on the landscpaping but have ran out of time (imagine that?) to finish, hopefully it will be done before the winter

Before the tilling....
After....and this is as far as we have got lol

Baseball season came to an end....our boys got 3rd place in the county, not bad for 1st year kid pitch!! We obviously had more players than just 5, but this was taken at Trophy Night

Braxton Dean turned 10!! I just can't believe it!! I told him this was the last year for a "big" party so we rented a water slide and kids had a ton of fun. One new thing, he wanted to open the presents in his room with his friends.....you should have seen all the grass I had to vacuum up lol

Jen and I took Avery and Brady to see Storytime Live! They absolutely loved it!! We already have Yo Gabba Gabba and Disney on Ice tics for the fall!!

Brady and Avery are less than a month apart. Jen and I were very best friends in high school and think its so neat our kids will get to grow up together, now if I can just get them to move to Beggs they could go to school together too ;-)

Of course there are tons of other stuff we've done in the past month, but chasing a one year old around does not give moma much time to take pictures! Lets hope it gets easier.....but I doubt it hahaha. Oh and one other thing happend....my birthday...last year before the Dirty Thirty, I'm gonna try and enjoy it!!

Summer Is Sweet

I absolutely LOVE summertime. I love that Brax doesn't have school, I love that the boys get to play outside, I love that its baseball season, I love that the dogs can run around and not freeze, I love cookouts, but I do NOT love the summer bugs! Yes, my pretty little bite was from a brown recluse....ouch! Its healing up very nicely though, hopefully it wont scar too bad...Luckily I haven't seen anymore spideys so they boys should be in the clear!

As usual, we have been crazy busy. I did take Brady to get his 1st haircut though! He was pretty sleepy but my good friend Missy that does my hair did not mind he was a little cranky. She has two sweet boys of her own and another on the way so she knows little boys just don't like getting their hair cut!!

Here is the end result, he looks so BIG!! He says "cheese" now when I take his picture, you can kind of tell he's saying it here :-)

Along with Missy, two of my cousins are preggo too!! Although I never want to be in their shoes again I cannot wait until they have their little ones! Missy, who I spoke of above is having a little a little miracle boy that she is not releasing the name of until his arrival! My cousin Karri is having baby Camden in September and my cousin Brook is having baby "don't know yet" in December! I cannot wait until they all get here so I can steal sweet baby kisses!!

Baseball has taken over our nights the past few weeks. Its for sure been the good, bad, and the very ugly but its still fun! Brax is in his first year of kid pitch and I'm totally floored at how well he's pitching! Not to brag, but he's really been putting a lot of effort into it and is very talented, I can't wait to see how much he progresses in the future! Our entire team is awesome this year, we these boys get in high school the Demons are gonna ROCK!

This past weekend I went out with two of my very best friends Jen and Jessica. We didn't do much but we had a lot of fun. It was a totally random night but its always like that when you get us three together, its been that way for close to 17 or so years!!

The midnight Eclipse opening is only 15 days away YAHOO!! Me, Jen, Kris, and Mandy have our midnight tickets already and cannot wait until its here!!! Then of course we'll be dying for the part 1 of Breaking Dawn to come out in the fall!! Stephenie Meyer did release a short book about on of the newborn vampires that is in Eclipse and I recommend it to anyone thats going to see Eclipse, its really good!!

Well I will leave this quick blog with a crazy picture from Sunday afternoon....Brady LOVES the mud and LOVES to dip his face in it! I'm a total germaphobic crazy mom so I rushed him in soon after I took this and gave him a bath but at least he had a minute or so of fun lol.

Summer is here!! Yea! Braxton is so glad to be out of school! I am really sad that my baby is gonna be a middle schooler next year....I just can't believe it. Where did the time go?

Baseball has been going great! Unfortunately between yelling at the boys playing and trying to keep up with Brady at the ballfield, I haven't been able to take any good pictures of him playing. We have won our last three games and Braxton pitched three beautiful innings on Monday. Heres a cute pic after a game the other night.

Brady thinks he needs popcorn at every game, not sure whats gonna happen when we go to a field that doesn't serve it?

The boys played outside in the water the other day when I saw this.....I asked Brax what they were doing and he said "Getting their tan on"

Well my situation of the day is this spider bite.......I'm trying to get into the Dr this afternoon but if shes too booked I guess I will just run up to the Urgent Care. Thats my arm if you can't tell, and yes I know I need a tan!!!

We have no plans for Memorial weekend which is A-OK with me. I love just staying home with my guys. I hope everyone has a safe fun filled weekend!!
