Braxton and I had a Mother and Son night. We went to Sonic and got Sundaes. Then we went home and watched a movie and he slept with me in my bed. It was so fun!

I took the kids to PF Changs for Dinner. It was so yummy and such a blast!
On Father's Day, we went to Burns Park. Mike and Nate took the boys Frisbee Golfing. Jess, Tylar, Talon and I hung out by the Park and waited for them.
After Burns Park, we went to Chuck E Cheese. We ordered Pizza and played games for quite some time. The kids were in heaven and totally pooped out when we got home.


Jess and I took the kids to Peabody Park where they have a waterfall, spray pads, under ground tunnels and slides. We also went there last year and the kids definitely remembered the place, they LOVE it!!

My sweet Braxton being such a good lil helper with the little ones. I love my boy!!

Kansas Trip

Jess, the kids and I went to Kansas this last week to go visit our Sister Allison and our Mom and Scott. It was so much fun, a part of me didn't wanna go back to Little Rock and just stay there with them but another part of me wanted to get back to be with my hubby. I helped my Mom and Scott at their new Greenhouse/Marketplace/Bistro that has only been open for 3 weeks and is doing awesome so far. I was a Server from 11-3 then helped organize and decorate. I always love doing that stuff and to be able to help my Mom and make her proud; makes me so happy I can do that for her. It brought back memories of my serving days and it felt great! I wish they lived near by, I swear I would wanna work a lot more; that place is so awsome and not to mention, working for my Mom, fun!! The kids kept so busy catching Frogs in their little pond all day and also helped bus tables; it was too cute! We stayed at Allison's every night so we could all hang out together. There were 7 kids in the house, so it was a litle crazy but super fun!!

We celebrated Ryan's 6th Birthday. Allison threw a Froggy theme party for him since he's such a fan. She had cute froggy treat bags and cups for the kids with lots of party favors! We played lots of games like Simon Says, Catch, Races, Ball Toss in the bowl and the kids danced.

All of us at my Mom and Scott's.

We got a personal tour at the Firestation; Braxton really wanted to go. The Fire Truck were next to is actually in the movie "Swat" towards the end, in the scene on the bridge.It was so cool! I got to put on the Fireman's coat and WOW that thing was so heavy, so was the helmet!
Pictures of my Mom and Scott's buisness. The Bistro, The Fudge and Ice Cream Shop and Green house. I am so proud of them; they built all this from scratch! I was so impressed when I saw it.

Inside the Ice Cream/Fudge Shop. My Mom spoiled them with Ice Cream and Candy every day, they were in heaven!
Fun with the Grandparents!
Tylar with Aunty Alie. Tylar loves Allison so much she follows her around and asks for her. Of course Alie spoiles her cause she has 3 boys so every time she's around Tylar, she buys her girly things, paints her nails and does her hair; then she'll bring her places to show her off. It's so freakin cute! 
We had a Sister's night while my Mom stayed with all the kids; props to her, 7 hyper kids, 2 of them babies! She put on a puppet show for them, told them bedtime stories and so on. She definately kept them all entertained and did great! We went out to a Restraunt that also had karoake; it was a blast!!! Alie also took us the next day to her work, where we had the entire place to ourselves. Alie did our hair and of course it turned out beautiful as she always does! Thank you again Alie!

We went to the pool the other day and Tylar swam around in her floatie all around the pool by herself which was really cute cause it was the first time she did that in a big pool in the deep end! It scared me and made me super nervous but I knew it was good for her to do it by herself without me by her side; so I just stood by the pool and walked around it everywhere she paddled to. Braxton was bouncing around everywhere making new friends like he always does. I swear no matter where we go, that little social bug makes friends with every kid around! He definately takes after his Daddy! Sunday Nate and Braxton had their "boys time" and Tylar and I had "girls time." We went outside and picked out rocks and sticks; we went back home and made Ladybugs out of them. Tylar LOVED it and keeps asking me every day to make a bug with the rocks. Nate and Braxton went to the pond and then on a bike ride. Braxton is such a Daddy's boy and loves doing anything with Daddy no matter what it is! Too cute!

The kids and I went to the State Capitol yesterday; it was so beautiful and really fun. Braxton understood some of it; he liked the court rooms and his favorite was looking at the rocks they had there and of course tylar had no clue what was going on but she was enjoying it anyway going up and down all the stairs and looking at pictures.

Nate and I had a date night last Saturday, we went to Big Mama's Burgers where they had karoake; it was really fun watching all the people get up there and sing, most of them were really good! The food wasn't the greatest but we had a lot of fun hanging out together!
I took the kids to the park the other day; they had a little pond there where we caught some tadpoles and brought them home, it was really fun. It brought back child hood memories when my sisters and I use to catch Frogs by my Grandma's house all the time; it was one of my favorite things to do as a kid and I still love it!

Jessica, the kids and I all went to Barnes and Noble the other day and did story time for the kids for quite some time. I think they really enjoyed it but it was hard to keep them all quiet in there.
Just hanging out at Jessica's.
Tylar and Talon

The Boy's Birthday's

  After we got here to Little Rock, we had a little family party for Braxton; I made him a Sports Cake and he loved that he got two parties! His Grandma, Me Me bought him his first real big boy Bike for his Birthday present, without training wheels. After we got it, Jessica and I went outside to teach him do it by himself. Jess kept telling me to just push him and let go; I was so afraid he would biff it hard! She got Tayson's helmet, put it on him and pushed him and let go! What do ya know, she was right! He went on riding by himself, it was so awesome!Tthen that next morning before Nate had to leave to work, he went out with him and helped him more; Braxton caught on so fast and loves it so much! Thanks again Me Me, he loves his new Bike!! Also Grandma Wendy and Grandpa Scott sent Braxton Birthday money and he was really excited about it; we went right over to the Dollar Store (his favorite) and he picked out a lot of toys! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!



Nate's 29th Birthday was on the 15th, just 3 days after Braxton's. After he got off work, we went out to this Tppanyaki Place and sat at the hibachi table. We ordered Sushi (our favorite), Lobster and Shrimp, it was so good!! Mike and Jess treated us which was so so nice of him to do that! Thank you so much you guys, your so awesome! It was a lot of fun! After we got home, I was ready for bed and Nate was still wanting to go out; so we ended up going to watch a live band which were way awesome! It was so much fun and I'm so glad we went out; it was our first date in quite some time!  I think he really enjoyed his Birthday.
