Bailey's Room Part II

Here it is: the chair rail done, painting done and most of the decorations on the wall. We hope you enjoy, we have to say we think it looks adorable, now we are ready for her to come.

Midway Overnighter

My parents reserved a night at their condo's in Midway, since their was no school today. Brynn and I and our kids went up with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a fun getaway, especially once we got their and could just relax and watch the snow. It was so beautiful! They have an indoor pool, so the kids had fun swimming. Today we walked down to the next resort and saw some cool ice sculpture castles. It was nice to get away for a night, but we did miss daddy.

Sugar Crash

Doug and I took a nap one day and woke up to this. Laffy Taffy wrappers all over the floor and Braxton zonked out on the couch.

2 weeks, or sooner?

We are getting down to our last few weeks, our emotions are filled with anticipation and a little anxiety. We are really excited for her to arrive, We have waited a long time for this, but we are a little nervous too, it has been five years since we have had a baby in the house. We are hoping it will all come back to us.

Braxton on the other hand is only feeling anticipation, he is so excited for Bailey to arrive, I can't wait to see his face when he finally gets to meet her. Being five years old he has waited a long time for a sibling and he can't wait to see her. This picture is a regular occurance either he wants to kiss, hug, or whisper a secret to Bailey. He is going to be such a good big brother.

Her room is just about done, and it is adorable. I just have two more things to add and then I will post pictures.

Braxton's Friend Birthday Party

Braxton had his friend's Birthday Party last Saturday, and he had so much fun. We did a frog theme and played a few games: We played tadpole, tadpole, frog (like duck, duck, goose), pin the tongue on the frog, and musicial lily pads. The kids were so good at participating with the games, and it seems like they had fun. Braxton had fun opening presents and got a lot of cool toys. Then to end it we had dirt oreo pudding and icecream sandwiches. So here are few pics of his party.

Happy Birthday Braxton!

Braxton wanted to go to Pirate Island for his birthday, so we went with my family for dinner and games. The kids had so much fun playing. Then afterwards we came back to our house for dessert and presents. It was fun to see Braxton get so excited for his birthday this year.

The Spence Clan

Braxton is not a cake fan, but he loves Oreos, so I made an Oreo icecream cake.

Opening presents, Thank you everyone for the presents he loved them all. He loved the Transformers, and all the art supplies and bubbles. The next day that is all he wanted to do was bubbles, painting, coloring, and transformers.

Doug and I got Braxton a new bike, and Grandma and Grandpa Smith got him a bike helmet to match perfectly.

Five Years Old!

My lil' man turned five! I can't believe he is five years old, but at the same time I feel like he has been with us for forever. We can not imagine our lives with out our little bubba. He is so sweet, goofy, spunky, silly, and loving, and of course so darn cute! We have had five years with just him and have enjoyed every minute, and looking forward to new adventures with him. Braxton we love you so much!
