Happy 9th Birthday Draycen!!


Draycen with his cousins (and brothers) that came to visit us in our new house!!


So 2 days before Draycen's birthday we held a pre-party because my sisters Kami and Kira were here visiting us. Notice how nice Draycen's cake it!! It was a left over one!!


Our boys love birthday parties- and get so excited when it's somebody's birthday!


Draycen was so excited for his new stuff. I always want our boys to be that appreciative of the things that they have. Cannen picked this present out for Dray all by himself!


Even though this picture is fuzzy I still wanted to put it in. We are all looking hot in our "lounge clothes" aren't we??

Me and Dax-


What a handsome 9 year old boy- missing teeth and all! We truthfully can't believe our oldest boy is 9 years old. He is such an amazing kid and such a good example to his brothers! We love you Dray!!


We finally set up some beds!
So after living in our new house about a week we finally got the younger boys' room painted and set up their beds. This is the first night that Dax slept in a normal twin bed and he was so excited. We took off the bunk beds and let him and Cannen each have their own twin beds.

Cannen & Dax share a room even though we have extra bedrooms. To be honest Cannen wouldn't want to sleep alone- he needs atleast 1 brother with him.

Cannen in his new room and of coarse with all of his animals!

First Day of School 2008!

Cannen's first day of 1st Grade. He is 6 1/2 years old!


Draycen's first day of 3rd grade. He is 9 years old!


And Dax thinks he is starting school too- so he needed in on the picture!


I hope they always stay this close and love each other!!

Cannen & Dax

I love these handsome boys- I think Draycen was still upstairs getting ready for church.


On Saturday nights we sometimes let our boys have a movie night- (so me and Mutt can watch our own movie) so we send the boys up to the loft and they usually end up falling asleep before the movie is over- after our movie I went up and just thought this was so cute how Cannen is asleep on Dax!


Our Bee Story-
To make a super long story short- one day there were a few bees flying around underneath our porch and by the next morning we had this!! We had to call a bee keeper to come and get rid of them. He told me they were the African killer bees and that there were thousands of them!! It seriously scared me and really freaked me out!! Welcome to our new home!!


And Football Season Begins!!
After a couple weeks of 5 day a week practices the boys are ready to begin their season! So they had an "opening ceremony" for all of the football teams. I couldn't believe how many people and players were there!



Cannen isn't quite old enough to play tackle- so he's playing flag football this year.


Draycen is so excited to be playing tackle again.
