Hot Springs Little Rock, Arkansas

On our way to the Hot Springs, it's such a beautiful drive! Arkansas is known for their Hot Springs, after going, now I understand why!!!

It was so cool, you could walk into each animals pen and feed and pet them! I gave this donkey some bread and then he wouldn't leave me alone after, he followed me everywhere, it was so funny!

__________________________________________________________

It took forever to snap this shot cause every time the white tailed deer turned his head to look at Braxton or smell him, Braxton kept jumping away thinking the deer was going to bite him; I couldn't stop laughing!
____________________________________________________________

It took a minute for us to go in until the kids got a little more comfortable with the donkey. Tylar was scared to go too close to the animals unless I was right beside her, so that's why she's not in too many photos, she wouldn't even stand by Braxton for the pic, silly girl!

Baby alligators, we actually got to pet them but I forgot my camera and was using my phone to take all these pics; what do ya know it, my battery died so I missed out on all the really great pics. We saw over 200 alligators and all the big ones! We also saw a cougar, raccoons, turkeys, peacocks, wolves, monkeys, and turtles!

Tylar's Toilet Adventures

Okay seriously I'm so done with this toilet parade of Tylars. Let me start with two weeks ago, she started this kick for toilets! First it started off with an excessive amount of toilet paper then led to throwing one of my nicest charm watches into the toilet, then came the q tips. I kept telling her no nos, put it in the garbage but she doesn't care to listen because she has this weird obsession with the toilet lately! So just last week we were just lounging at home and all of a sudden Braxton comes running up to me shouting, "Tylar threw your phone in the toilet! Come see, hurry!", of course to my surprise I walk in the bathroom and there's my phone sitting on the counter soaking wet! She thought she could trick me by taking it out when she heard Braxton telling me; so I took the battery off and let it dry out over night hoping it would turn on the next morning. Just my luck, no power so I have to go buy a new phone (which by the way I had no available upgrades so I had to pay full retail price!) So a couple days later she flushes her toothbrush in the master toilet, I can't believe the watch and the toothbrush went down, I guess it has a powerful flush! So Braxton goes number two in our toilet and Tylar goes to flush it, all of a sudden there's water and poop gushing out of the toilet onto the floor and creeping up to the carpet in our room! It was the biggest mess and took forever to clean up. So now our toilet doesn't flush and I have the maintenance man coming to fix it today; but it gets worse, so this morning it was a replay of the day Tylar put my phone in the toilet except this time it was Daddy's phone! He couldn't go on with his day without a phone so we ran to verizon and again, no upgrades so another full retail price phone!! So I said that's it and decided to lock both bathrooms and would have to unlock it anytime Brax or any of us would have to go. Well no problem solved! Braxton figured out how to unlock it and just about 30 minutes ago , I walk in the bathroom to see water all over the ground and tons of clothes in the toilet! Omg I can't take anymore toilet messes, i think I'm gonna have to get locks for way up high! I realize every child goes through different stages and I'm definitely experiencing the terrible twos with her but wow does she keep me on my feet, they're definitely moments that won't be forgotten! But I have to admit, even though I get frustrated when she does this stuff, I still can't help but to laugh when I think about it!

My Babe's Work Winnings

Nate ready to work and roll!

________________________________________________

Every week the manager gives incentives to the guys for who gets the most sales that week, so far Nate hasn't lost one! I am so proud of him I have to brag! In the entire company, Nate is 3rd best on top of the list out of all the first year reps and is 27th out of everyone (that's including all the guys who have been with the company for years) over 2,000 people but it changes day to day. He's rockin it like he's rockin his new Nike Shocks he won! The biggest best grand prizes are at the end of the summer but i think it's the most sales out of the entire company not just the team Nates on ,so let's hope we win! Great job Babe, i'm so extremely proud of you, keep up the great work!

Date nights!

We went dancing, it was great cause we haven't done it for a while

Nate and I went to see "Angels and Demons" and Jess came to our place to watch the kids; when we got home, we found her, Tayson and Tylar in our bed watchin a movie, it was so cute I had to capture the moment! Thanks again Jess!!! Oh and if your wondering where Braxton was, well he didn't take a nap that day so he passed out quick, tired little guy!

We went to the mall so I could buy my makeup and of course when Tylar saw me get in a chair, she hops in one too, to get hers done as well, the lady put on lip gloss and blush, and demanded a mirror to see how pretty it looked, she was loving every minute of it, she's such a girlie girl like her mama, I love it!!!

We went out to this awesome japanese restaurant after daddy got off work, it was so cool, you sit at a low table on cushions where you take your shoes off; I always wanted to go to a place like that, it was better than I expected!
