Kaitlyn Turns 6

Six years.  Time goes by too fast. 

 We were blessed with such a beautiful little girl 6 years ago and she is growing up to be such a sweet young lady.  She has the kindest heart, always giving hugs to anyone.  Most days she is my biggest helper and she absolutely loves being a big sister.  She is so smart (which she gets from me).  She is also quite the social girl, (I'm not sure where that comes from) she has so many friends at school that I can't keep track of them.  She also has a little attitude somedays, (some people say that comes from me too but I like to think it's from her dad) and I don't know if I will make to bedtime but somehow we always get through it.  I am learning to have patience with her.  I love this little girl and I hope that as she grows up we will be as close as my mom and I are.

Halloween 2012

Halloween was so much fun this year.  This was the first year that Braxton completely understood the concept and he was so cute.  He would run behind Tyson and Kaitlyn from house to house always watching me to make sure that it was ok.

2012 Family Photos

So a friend of mine entered me into a contest last December to win a photo session with an amazing photographer, Tai Lee Grant, and I won.  Since I was pregnant we decided to wait until after the baby was born and have new family pics done.  She took some amazing photos and here are some of my favorites.

Tonsils

Our poor little Tyson.  It seems as though anything medical that happens in our family happens to this little guy.  He is the only one that has to wear glasses, the only one with major dental issues, the only one that can fall 15 feet and not have a single scratch or bruise, and the only one (so far) that had to have his tonsils out. 


This summer we noticed this horrible odor coming from him and after taking him to the dentist and trying different mouthwashes it was determined that it was not a dental issue and we were referred to Dr. Catten.  Tyson's tonsils were so big and had big pits in them that were causing bacteria to form so we had to schedule a tonsilectomy.  This was done in August (it seems as though everything in our house happens in August, we're going to start hibernating for this month). Tyson had no idea what he was in for, he was excited to be able to eat all the popsicles he wanted.  Unfortunately for him the fun didn't last long, within just a few days he didn't want anymore popsicles or jello.  He wanted to eat "real food" as he would always tell me.  As always this little guy got through it like a champ.  It amazes me how grown up he is, he handles everything that is thrown at him so well and barely complains about any of the testing or countless doctor appointments he has to endure.

Tyson Turns 7

It is so hard to believe that 7 years ago we had our first child. Tyson is growing up to be such a kind and loving person. I am so proud of him in every way and am so glad that I was blessed to be his mother. I love this little boy and enjoy watching him grow and learn.

Baby Boy In 3D

So I'm I horrible updater but basically everything is going great, baby boy is growing like he should be and like any typical kid did not want to cooperate for the 3D ultrasound and kept his face hidden as much as possible. These are the better pics we were able to get.

Announcing...

We're excpecting again!!  Baby number 4 is due July 22, and so far it's been a pretty good pregnancy (knock on wood).  I am over the morning sickness for the most part but am extremely tired all the time, I was never this tired with the other pregnancies so I'm hoping this starts to pass soon.  Tyson and Kaitlyn are excited to have a new baby around and both are hoping for a little girl, Braxton isn't sure about what's going on and always tells us there is no baby because he "can't see it mommy."
