Carter's first tooth

So I am WAY behind on this blog. I have to update all of Summer. I recently started going to school to become an EMT and life has been good but a little crazy! This cute boy lost his first tooth at the beginning of Summer. He woke up in the morning and said his stomach hurt. He was as white as a sheet. He said, "I wiggled my tooth and it made me not feel good." I thought he was getting a stomach bug and because he wiggled his tooth he associated it with that. Well, after about an hour he seemed to be better. I asked if I could try and pull his tooth out because it was hanging by a thread. I reached in and pulled it out and instantly he went white. Poor guy. He ran in the bathroom saying he was going to throw up. Hopefully this doesn't happen with every tooth. He already had a tooth grown in behind it so you can't really tell in these pictures. Cute boy!!!!

Preschool graduation

Colby and Carter graduated from preschool. They were so cute. They have learned so much and are ready for the next chapter, Kindergarten! My babies are growing up! Each kid was in charge of a nursery rhyme they had to recite. Mrs. Woodfield asked if we could dress them in their character. Colby had Humpty Dumpty and Carter was a butcher.

Before it started Brayden just had to sit on the stage with them. :)

Cute little butcher.

Not the best picture but it was the only one I got of the whole group.

Cousin time

All the "big" cousins on the Stokes side of the family love my little Brayden buggy. The first thing they do when they see him is grab him and start playing. This picture just sums it up. Carson and Brayden swinging. Hayden is on the other side of the swing making Brayden laugh hysterically. So sweet. We love our cousins.

Easter



 I am just a little late in posting these! This is my babies Easter morning. Love them!


My princess

This was the best I could get!

Couldn't get Brayden to smile for nothing!

The boys love the Easter egg hunts and Grandma Gail's and Papa and Grandma Susie's house!

We went to the Logan Zoo clear back and June. Aaron and Keri met us there along with their kids and my parents as well. Days like this are the best. The only thing to make it better would be if our Daddy wasn't working and if Mandy and her family could have come!



Aaron and Carson

Keri and Jackson

I'm sure Papa was tired from holding Brayden like this the WHOLE time!

These shirts say trouble 1 ,2, and 3. So fitting!

After we went to the park and had a BBQ.

Colbs

The boys put a bunch of sticks in a pile and made a "big fire."

Snuggle time with Grandma Susie

Worn out

We even got a boo boo along the way!



Love my kids!

I have soooo much catching up to do! I will get caught up soon! I just had to quickly write down something Carter just said. I lost my wedding ring about 2 months ago and it still is missing. It is making me crazy! I want my ring back. Andy also lost his wallet about a week ago. He got up in the middle of the night last night and it was driving him nuts that he still couldn't find it. He said a prayer and immediately knew where to go to find it. Andy told the kids he prayed and Heavenly Father helped him find it. So just now Carter came strolling in my room. He said, "Mom, maybe if you pray like Daddy did then your ring would show up." Sometimes I think my kids teach me more than I teach them. If only I could have the faith they have. I am one lucky Mama to have such good kids. I hope they stay that way. I know it was something simple he said today, but it really opened my eyes. Love my kids!!!!

Andy's Birthday/painting easter eggs

One of these days I will get caught up on my blog! Andy turned 29 over Easter weekend. So on Friday we had a crab dinner and painted Easter eggs.

Quincy always loves the boys entertaining her!

The boys love crab. It's fun to eat and play with after! :)

We love our Daddy!!!
