Trying to Catch Up!
Apr 11, 2010
I am sitting in a quiet house while Brian and Braxton are off buying Braxton a baseball glove and Ainsley is sleeping. Braxton has been talking a lot about baseball, and loves Daddy’s glove, so I can’t wait to see how much he loves his new glove. I think obsessed will be the word! Ainsley and I will go get some flower seeds and nail stickers soon...she has been wanting some. Having a boy and a girl is so much fun.
Ainsley had her worst allergy attack ever this weekend. The pollen count is horrendous here in Central Florida. I guess that is her allergy because her poor eyes have been so swollen this weekend. We had her birthday party, and it was SO much fun. It was a girls only princess party. The girls dressed up like a princess, and they were so proud! We painted nails, painted bird houses, flew a princess kite, and ate macaroni and cheese and cupcakes. Ainsley truly felt like a princess. I cannot believe she is 4 years old! Her favorite thing to do is SWING, SWING, SWING. She could do it all day! Sometimes she is in the backyard swinging until past dark, and I have to drag her in. Her other favorite thing is riding her bike. She rides and makes up songs. We try to ride around the neighborhood every day. She never gets tired of it. Brian just bought a bike for a great deal, so now he can ride with her too.
Braxton rides his tricycle with us around the block. He loves being outside, especially playing in the sand box and playing with balls. He is starting to dream more obviously and even hallucenates and talks in his sleep. He gets this from his mama. Often at night, we will hear him from his bed yelling about a spider on his arm or a snake in his bed. Braxton LOVES helping people, especially his Daddy. Anytime Brian is doing yardwork or fixing something, Braxton is so proud to help. Braxton’s favorite thing seems to be golf and playing with his baseball. He also loves eating IF it does not have much nutritional value. (much to my dismay) He shares chicken wings with Daddy, loves pizza, and dips everything he can in ketchup and ranch. HE is the reason I have to sneak veggies and fruits into my cooking. He’s a healthy boy, though. Braxton likes doing things that require focus and determination. And he wants to do everything by himself.
These pictures on Ainsley and Braxton’s pages do not yet catch us up. I am going to try and do better about updating so we can be more current with the pictures. So, much more are to come. Keep checking with us to watch our little cuties grow!

Lots to Celebrate
Apr 03, 2010
We have had a lot to celebrate this time of year. I feel like a party planner lately! We celebrated Braxton turning 2, then Ainsley turning 4 (today). And tomorrow we get to celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior.
I can’t quite grasp how BIG Easter is in my life. To think that Jesus paid the price for me on the cross is overwhelming. Because of my merciful God, my sins have been forgiven. My debt has been paid. This is everything to me.
So, as you look at these new pictures (on Ainsley and Braxton’s pages) and see the fun we have been having, just know that the joy deep inside of us comes from the FACT that we have been redeemed and our hope is in Him. All glory to God.
