Well it has been a while since I have told about our lives. Recently we had our family picture taken. One which we posted a while ago, but I will post more. It was a great day doing this. My niece took them and she done a great job. Last year we had dam fam pictures taken it was so hard to get the fam together. I think we even started in September, and I wanted to make a family tradition and do it every year. I remember looking at my family pictures and I was a baby the first time and 14 the next time, boy did I change. But anyway I did not tell the kids (the boys anyway) until the day before so they could not come up with any excuses. Until the day of pictures they said Melissa could probabley just scan our faces and take a picture of our shirts and she can put that in also, yea right no way I'm the boss. We have had a lot go on this year with Braxton having surgery, the passing of my brother and my Dad's 12 years of having a new heart. We are really thankful for all the good. My dad is doing great and we had a party for him, oh and yes I do have pictures and will post them at a later date. We had a really good time and a lot of family and friends came. Uncle Clint and Aunt Denise and Ashley and her daughter was there. It was really great. Dad was really excited to see everyone. Melissa, Randall and Jess and Jason and his family came also. Our great friends Tawyhne and Randy and the kids came. Hailee was here and Jake wished he could have been here. We also decided to go camping on Labor day weekend, and yes of course we only took one trailer, mine, but it was fun and I would not have given that weekend away for anything. It was Braxtons first time of finally trying to pee outside and finally was completed, now we have a hard time getting him to go in the house. (just kiddin he is doing really great).

Today was Braxton's trip back to the hospital 6 months after surgery. He is doing really great the spastic team (that's what they call the doctors who done the surgery) was really excited how great he is doing. They said he far above what they thought he would be. We are so thankful that everything turned out as good as it did. We really want to thank Jenny and Kent. Braxton had never been blessed, and Kent did this. He also gave him a blessing just before he had his operation. I am not a go to church every Sunday like I should do, but did in the past. But I really feel like this helps. I was really nervous about the surgery before this, but after the blessing I felt like everything would be o.k. And I am thankful it was. Anyway Brax does not need to go back to primary's until June of 09, this is wonderful. It is really sad when you go this place and see the children that can't talk and can't walk, they are in wheel chairs and we are so grateful that we have what we have, and not anything worse. No matter what we would love him to the full extent. Well I hope this posts and I don't mess anything up because the girls are usually helllllllllllping me.
