My Little Hopper

Braxton is trying REALLY hard to crawl. But it's more of a hop/scoot/lunge type thing! It's hilarious! I tried and tried to get it on video.. and this is the best I could get. You may not think its funny.. But when he really gets going and gets into it, it is funny! Enjoy!

Day 13

A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough days. (write a letter.) 

At different points in my life, different bands and different songs have gotten me through tough times and days...

Mostly break ups with boys. And I would have to say that country songs are always the ones to hit how I'm feeling.
Dear Country Singers of America,
Thank you for singing your tunes, and hitting my feelings on the spot. You can make me feel better at some points, and lower than low at other points. But mostly, your silly little rhymes and rhythms can be the words I need to hear. 
Love, Me

Day 12

Something you never get compliments on. 

It's not that I NEVER get compliments on this, but I would like more compliments on this, rather than anything else. But my personality (if you know me well enough, it shines through), my smile, or my happy, loving nature of everyone I know, and dogs!

Happy Halloween!

BRAXTON'S FIRST HALLOWEEN!! Can I tell you how excited I was? I love Halloween.. (I know Mitch, I change my mind all the time!) I had all these fun plans to take him trick or treating.. and show him off. Oh man, mother nature had a whole other plan. It rained and poured. Poor kid. So my mom and I took him to the mall to see other costumes and just walk around. When we got back home, the rain had let up, so we went to a couple houses. Nothing like I planned though. He got a pack of M & M's.. He loved the wrapper! And the M & M's too!! A couple weeks prior to Halloween, I let Braxton paint his very first pumpkin. It was late, and passed his bedtime, so he was really grumpy, but I think he would have loved it, had it been any other time. He was a MESS, and so was I! But it was a blast!!
Happy Halloween!!

 

 

Onto the good stuff....

 

I was the "UP" house!

 

Getting ready to go Trick or Treating!

 

Up, and Chicken Little

 

I've been DYING to post these pictures....

Thank you Heidi.. For these AMAZING pictures!!

 

He was gonna be this.. But I liked the Chicken better..

Day 11

Something people seem to compliment you the most on. 

My bum! HAHA! Not so much now.. (the poor, sad things pregnancy does to you..) but I used to get compliments on my bum ALL the time!

Day 10

Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know. 

I have sat and thought about this. And I can't think of anyone that I wish I didn't know. I have met every person for one reason or another. And they have influenced my life in different directions for different reasons. So.. No one..

Day 9

Someone you didn’t want to let go, but you just drifted.

"Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you should hold on."
I didn't want to let go of any of my friends. But it is inevitable.. You always drift. Even the closest and bestest of friends. I'm still friends with my one and only best friend, but we have still drifted. I wish I still had my few friends that were so funny and silly to be around. We all go different directions. That is when you just make new ones... Only to have them drift too! Its a cruel and brutal cycle.

Day 8

Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like poop. 

I would have to go with the girls in high school again. I think everyone in my life has let me down (not made me feel like hell) at some point in time or another. But as for making my life "hell".. The girls in high school. 

Day 7

Someone who has made my life worth living

Braxton is the reason I wake up everyday. He is my pride, my joy, my love, my happiness and my world. I don't know what I would do without him. He brought me such a special spirit. He made me realize a lot of things in life that I may have never known without his help. He may not be able to talk, but he has made me feel so loved and special. He makes all the pain and hurt go away. He has awaken so many senses in me, that sometimes I am overwhelmed. (in a good way, if that is possible!) I love him! And I thank my lucky stars for him.. EVERYDAY!

Day 6

Something I hope I never have to do.

• I hope I never have to bury any of my children before I go. That isn't the way it is supposed to go. 
• I hope I never ever have to file a missing child report. Can you imagine the devastation of not knowing where your child is?
• I hope I never have to deal with my children drinking or doing drugs. And all the pain that goes with that.
