You are the most thoughtful little boy ive ever met. That is one quality I hoped you would have! You have always put others first and you care so deeply about others.

family update

So whats new with the FAm! Well We decided to pull the boys from taekwondo! I was hoping it would be somthing they enjoyed but no sense in forcing them to go to something they dont enjoy! Plus i think the organization we chose kinda stunk! If I were to put them in it again, I would choose a different group. Dax can't figure out what he wants to be in, so for now we are sitting on it. Grayden started playing basketball and he abslutely LOVES IT! Its so awesome to watch him in a sport he really enjoys! I cant wait to see how far he goes with it :) We have decided to start looking at new houses! Im so excited to get into our dream home:)

Grayden is 8!!

Wow when did this happen!? My first born is eight years old!! I can't beleive what a fine young man you have become and YOU ARE NOW BAPTISED!!! I remember thinking about this day, and how nervous your Dad would be, and I can't beleive it is finally here! You are now accountable for your choices and I just hopoe that we have taught you well and how to choose the right! You are such a kind hearted caring soul. You stand up for your family and your friends. Although you've been picking on your brother a lot lately, in the end you would do anything for him. You have always been like that. You have such a close relationship to your friends at school and everyone just loves you. Can we talk about school for a second! My dear boy, you have come SUCH a long way! It has been a struggle to get here, but I am so incredible proud of you and all the hard work you have put in to get to where you are! You have done so well in school this year! Although, we still have some struggles, you have come so far! Your teachers are so pleased and proud of you! Your one smart boy! You are so full of energy my boy! sometimes i dont know where you get it from, or wish i could have a piece of that pie, but man oh man! this year you have been obsessed with Pokemon, that phased out a few months ago, and you became obsessed with plants vs zombies, then came goosbeumps, and now its ALL ABOUT FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS! oh my goodness you guys are obsessed! you still love all the other things but Five nights is your fave right now. That was your birthday theme after all. you had a bunch of your friends over, we played soccer and just had fun here in the new house. (wont do that again) it was way too crazy! Your fave food is still pizza, but im so grateful you love all food. your not a picky eater AT all! Sure love you my sweet boy!

Daxtin is 6 !!

My sweet little boy is growing up! You are the most tender loving boy. You remind me so much of me its crazy. Super quiet and shy, yet silly and funny when he warms up to you. You are such a good boy, but you have some anxiety we are trying to break. You still stuggle very much with going to school. We only have about 2-3 months left of school and you are JUST starting to be ok in the mornings, although you NEVER want to go to school. You are doing AMAZING in kindergarten! your teacher couldn't be more proud of you! Your one smart cookie! You still have that adorable squeky little voice. You love to just be at home with mom! One of our favourite activities together is playing minecraft and building things, and playing lego, laitly its been hay day :) You stil enjoy your mommy cuddles at bedtime which i love....I dread the day you dont ask me, "Mom, can you snuggle me for a bit" Ughhh that gets me everytime and my heart just melts. especially when you wake in the middle of the night and come and ask me. You love to someimtes just come in my bed right next to me and snuggle. You love to be outside and you love to just hand out on the swing. your fave food is pizza and grilled cheese...actually WATERMELLON!!! you could live off that! You are still the pickiest little eater EVER! Love you to pieces my little man!
