Happy Thanksgiving



Thanksgiving started off with a feast at school this year. It was so cute!!
The feast was held in the gym so we could have lunch with other classes. The kids got to march to the gym all dressed up in their festive ware, T-shirts, hats & necklaces. It was so cool to be in the gym and have the kids walk in to see mom & dad, their faces just light up and they come at you full speed ahead. I love it!!!!

Here is the place mat that Brax made, how cute!!
Needless to say it was Fridge decor once we got home!!
Brax table!!
Braxton & Wyatt, they're best buds!!!
Get a look at their eyes, I have no idea what they were telling me but
guessing by their looks it was pretty serious!!!!
Need some Juice, mom!!!
One little pilgrim looking at me....
Just as cute as he can be!!!!
It was a great way to begin the season of eating!!!
There was a nice spread for all the kids and parents to enjoy.
Mrs. Kathy & Mrs. Robbie (Braxton's Teachers) did a fabulous job with all the children shirts & hats along with the necklaces that were made for the parents!
I am very thankful for the both of them and how they love my little man!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Wyatt's birthday Party!!

Wyatt is one of Braxton's class mates and probably his best friend!
Brax always talks about Wyatt and come to find out Wyatt does the same!
When we met Wyatt's dad, the first thing out of Bob's mouth was
so this is Braxton, we hear a lot about him!

Wyatt turned three in the beginning of October and we
celebrated with him, his parents, & some of his other friends!
They did a really great job with a dinosaur themed party and lots of fun games!!

Here are three REALLY cute boys!!!
This was the after-party crew.
Braxton, Wyatt and Will
Wyatt doing his best to brake that dinosaur,
while being cheered on his brother & friends
Ugghhh, take that dinosaur!!
Brax really liked the party favors!
On the way home I heard ROOOAARRRR!
and I looked back and found my dinosaur!!

Hillcrest Orchards








Hillcrest Orchards is one of our favorite fall trips that we started last year and will continue for years to come!!! The usual crew went, Kim, Carly, Arieal (one of Carly's friends) Reed, Will, Maddie, Braxton, and of course me! We had so much fun!!


This year Brax was much more active in the petting zoo as you can see in the pictures!! He loved the goats and the chickens and even the baby calf. Brax was amazed at the baby chicks. I had to be very careful with him and these chicks cause Lord knows I didn't want a sudden death to take place!! Yikes!!!



We went on a wagon ride, walked the orchard, slid down the huge slide, played on the playgrounds, and spent most of our time chasing the animals around. Not to mention we had the excellent snacks at the end of the afternoon, out of this world doughnuts, caramel apples & apple cider, yummm!!!


I really enjoyed watching Brax interact with all the animals. It's cool to see how he wants to feed them and pet them and even pick them up!! What a kid!! At one point Brax said "look Mommy, the goat is eating your shoe" and what do you know, the goat had my shoestring in his mouth and talking about nasty. The shoestring was gross when I finally got it out of the goats mouth!!! All of the kids really enjoyed themselves and were very well behaved which makes for an even better trip!



Last year it was Maddie who chased the chickens around trying to take them home with her, while she still tried this year Brax was more on the hunt this time!! He chased that mama chicken around trying to get it for a long time. This was quite entertaining!!! At first he was a little adamant about it but before I knew it the chicken was in tow and that's all she wrote!!!
































Maddie was checking out the goat who was just chilling on the porch, it amazes me how tame these animals are.





















Here chicky chicky, I am coming for you..... I got you!!!!













Aunt Kim was being mauled by a goat, these goats sure know what food is and boy they will do their best to get every last piece of it without sharing with any of their other goat friends.


















Now here is a serious conversation taking place while sitting on the tire seats. Lord only knows what was really going on their heads!!!

Braxton's School Halloween Party

Braxton's school, Creekside Christian Academy hosts an annual Halloween parade that is just adorable. Every child is encouraged to dress up & each class parades around the church in front of all the proud parents, even the babies which were too sweet!! They were rolled out in a crib and they were standing holding onto the sides, Priceless!!!

The parade ends with each class having their picture
made with Lion Cub the school Mascot!!
Brax & his buddies along with Mrs. Robbie
strutting their stuff for the parents.
How cute is Buzz??
Ketchup = Mrs. Sherrie which is one of our favorite people at the school, maybe in the world!

We love love love her!!!!
She really is one of the nicest, most caring, & loving person we've ever met!

Trick-er-Treat!!


Trick-er-treating went exceptionally well!!!
Everyone who went had a great time and going as a big group made it a great experience!

Here you see you Brax getting candy from a witch and he wasn't even scared!
What a big boy!
Miss Ella and Brax, they were classmates last year
now they are just neighbors.
Too Cute!!!
Trick-er-treat Papa!!
Papa gave out candy at our house while we
took B around the neighborhood. Our house was the last stop!!

I bet Papa gave Buzz a HUGE handful of candy!!
Here's part of our entourage
Mason, a neighborhood friend is handing out candy
when we got to his house.

Brax & Briley thought he was so cool for doing this!
Ella, Braxton, Mason & Luke had to stop & see what
was in their buckets!!!!
Halloween proved to be much fun and very festive for our family. I as well Jer & Brax had a wonderful time with all of our friends. I think this may have been the beginning of a Glaze tradition as Braxton is already talking about his next Halloween party!!!
Thanks to everyone who participated in the fun,
