Busy, Busy..

I don't know about the rest of you, but life around here just doesn't seems to slow down. The last few weeks have been crazy!

The boys started school on a tuesday & by friday I got a phone call saying Braxton had fallin' and cracked his head open. It was only about an inch long, but it was deep, when I looked at it I could see his skull (yes, his skull). The Doctor confirmed my observation. Braxton has broken his arm several times, but this was his first time for stitches.

Landon got his new leg braces. I know they are going to benefit him, but they sure are making it difficult for him to walk. I am glad he has such a happy go lucky personality....and just keeps truckin'!

My shower door fell off. It is a good thing we have a Handy Man in the house, I mean Handy Woman! LOL! Evan is awesome when it comes to Medicine, but not so much when it comes to being Mr. Fix It. Luckily I have a Dad that has taught me a lot. My Mom held the door while I fixed it.

These are just a few of the things that have kept us Busy, Busy, Busy! Luckily my Mom was here to help us out! Thanks Mom, we couldn't have done it without you!

Evan & I were able to go on our first date in over a YEAR! My Mom was kind enough to spend the day playing and making cookies with the kids, so that we could go out. We almost forgot what it was like to go out with just US. We had a great time, even though we spent a lot of time talking about the boys!

Well, I can't say that my life has slowed down, butI guess I will just keep going & going & going....

First Day of School...BITTER-SWEET!

I always find the first day of school to be bitter-sweet.  Bitter, because it means my boys are growing up and also because there is less time I get to spend with them.  Sweet, because my boys are so eager to learn & get so excited to start school.  

This year I sent 2 off to school.  It is so cute to see how much Braxton loves his brother.  It makes me proud to see him walk Ethan to class & pick him up when it is over.  He is looking out for his little brother.  It is also fun to see Ethan get so excited to go to school with Braxton.  He looks up to him so much & is so glad to be able to go to school with him.

Braxton has always loved school!  He is so excited for the new school year.  He glad to be a 2nd grader.  He is excited about making new friends & a new teacher.  

It has been so fun to see Ethan come home so excited about his day.  He comes home singing new songs and telling me what he learned.  He has loved making new friends and getting to know his teacher.  

So all in all, it was a little BITTER... letting go of another one of my boys and watching both of them grow up, but it is always SWEET to see them happy and excited about learning.

A day @ the Park...

We decided to spend some time at the neighborhood park today.  Landon sat & giggled every time I pushed him in the swing.  I love the sound of a little ones giggle.

Ethan & Kaden love everything about the park, especially the monkey bars....sometimes I wonder if it is because they are actual monkeys.

On the GO....

Life for Landon has been a little crazy lately.  He has so many new things going on with his therapy.  His life through our eyes can be a little overwhelming at times, but all we have to do is take a look at his adorable smile and that overwhelming feeling goes away. 

He recently got a walker, to help him learn to walk,  and he is on the GO!  

Slowly, but surely...

He loves his walker & gets excited to use it!

His cast for his "good" arm.

Man, We Love this Kid!

The Red, White & BLUE...

I don't know about the rest of you, but for our boys the BLUE truly rang through.  

We started with a BBQ & a swim, and ended our day with fireworks & a movie.

For most of us our 4th of July was a success,  but for one of us.....  

(a picture is worth more than a thousand words)

We hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July.  Especially Braxton!  We miss you & love you!

Grandpa & Grandma Visit...

Grandpa & Grandma came to visit for 2 weeks and the boys loved every minute of it.  We spent a lot of time at our swimming pool, Pullen park,  & the Beach.  

Pullen Park was a lot of fun.  We played on the playground, rode the train around the park & paddled around the pond in paddle boats.  

We took off to Wrightsville Beach for our Father's Day weekend.  We had a great time, but I don't know who had more fun,  Grandpa & Grandma or the Boys????  We spent a lot of time at the beach & then went to the board walk for a little shopping.  

Priceless....(sorry Mom, I couldn't help myself)

Thanks for a wonderful visit, Grandpa & Grandma!  We miss you already!
