Happy Wednesday!




I put this pair of Braxton's old overalls on Janie Belle yesterday and just loved her little look! If you live on a farm, overalls are a must! Braxton wanted to pull his wagon and we put the little country girl in for a ride. She didn't like it at first but it was so, so cute! Then, I got Braxton to hold her and she really liked that! There have only been a small handful of moments that he's held his sister that close and it just melted my heart!! He kept saying, "That fun Sissy? That fun?" She adores him and rarely is there a moment this sweet!

Photo Shoot?? Or Not!!







When it came time to take our family picture, Braxton had fallen asleep in the car. I thought about waking him up, but I knew I definitely would not have a pretty picture then! But, little miss was all ready for her first Easter photo shoot! She is our little doll and we are so blessed to have her with us this Easter! And our little wild man too!!

What did the bunny bring??


"It's hea-bey!"
"Braxy ready to got to the beach!!" He has been saying this for a month.
"I'm ready for the beach too!!"

The Easter bunny left eggs all over our house and a few in Braxton's bed which he thought was soo funny! He left Braxton a farm and barn set, a beach chair and a bunny cookie on a stick!! He left Janie Belle a pink bikini, books, and a sipi cup!!

Egg Hunting!!




What could be more fun??

Easter Activities!!





Yummy juice box!!

On Saturday we went to my parents church and they had cute little crafts and activities for all the kids. His favorite, and mine too, was to decorate a wooden cross with all sorts of beautiful flowers! It was just sooo pretty. To watch the cross go from bare and then be full of beautiful blooms was awesome! He was very serious and worked very hard to put his flowers on the cross! They got to decorate and eat cupcakes and of course, hunt eggs! Janie Belle didn't do much egg hunting but she got to have her first sip of a juice box! Yum, Yum!!

RO-DE-O!!


Look at that cowboy!! Yee-haw!!
Braxton getting his new cowboy belt!!

We took little B to the Chambers County Rodeo last Friday night and we had a great time! The whole afternoon after we told him we were going he kept saying, "Braxy gonna ride the bull!" Now why he thought he was going to ride, I don't know, but it was too funny! Then, when we actually got there, they had a mechanical bull for kids. I don't think he even really knew what a bull was but he did get on for about 10 seconds! I guess that's a record for bull riding! We really enjoyed it; I just hope it won't turn out to be his true sport, (it is so dangerous!) He got a cowboy belt and has been wearing it all week! He cheered and clapped and was just amazed and really took it all in. I just enjoyed watching his little expressions and all his excitement!!

Sunday Fun!!




This past Sunday, Isaac got an excavator to build an irrigation system for his garden and the 60 peach trees he planted next to our house! There is a creek behind our house that he dug out to get the water from. Braxton was sooo... excited and talked about it all morning until it was finally time to jump on board. They really had a good time! Braxton thought he was so, so big and he sure loves helping his daddy do anything! Janie Belle had a little fun too!

Precious!





I just love these pix! She is my little doll!

Yummy, Yummy!!





Both the little ones were with my mom Friday morning and little bits decided she wanted some real food! My mom left her a lone to take Brax to go potty and when she got back she had snagged Braxton's cinnamon toast and had eaten the whole thing! I had been wondering when to give her solid foods and she proved today that she can handle it!

Still Here!!

Waking up from a nap! What a big smile!
Isaac pushes Janie Belle, very, very fast in the pooh airplane and Braxton trails right behind! It is hilarious!

Sissy getting into the kitchen cabinet!
My first brother-sister outfits! What do you think??

It has been exactly one month since I posted so we have a lot of catching up to do!! Janie Belle is 10 months old today and she is really growing up! Way too fast! She is pulling up everywhere and has learned to wave and say "by-by!" She is still the sweetest little thing and follows Braxton everywhere! Braxton talks all the time and is counting to 10. He thinks that his daddy owns every piece of large equipment he sees and says he wants one too! We are currently working on potty training and let me just say that some days are great and some are not! Any pointers anyone?? I have been smocking in all me free time and really enjoy it! I like that you don't have to have a lot of supplies and equipment. Just a needle, some thread and fabric and you're ready to go! I made Janie Belle and Braxton their first matching outfits and I really love them! Isaac bought his first tractor and he, and Braxton, are obsessed! Guys and boys sure do love their big toys!! They will be plowing together soon to get ready to plant cotton in May! Braxton can't wait! We love you all and hope to post more often!
