FunRun

The "funrun" was a fundraiser that Braxtons school did, to help raise funds for the school. The children were to get pledges, ex: 1$ for every lap they ran. It was a HOT day! But it was a lot of fun. Braxton ran 34 laps. When Mike found out we pledged a dollar a lap he was trying to convince Braxton to only run 1 lap......cheapskate!
Above is Braxton, and that cute girl smiling behind him, is Brooke, she is in our ward.

CRAZY Sunday

Do you ever feel like Sunday morning, before church, is the craziest part of the week? I do, especially when Mike isn't here to help. After baths, and getting our church clothes ready and doing hair and getting breakfast ready, I feel like I've been yelling nonstop, and I only have two kids! Heaven knows how my mom did it with six, five of them being girls. After a rushed morning, we actually were ready a little early, so to bring us "down" a little bit, Braxton thought it would be fun to take some pictures. So here ya go. The ones of Hailey and I, Braxton took himself.

Hailey and Gymnastics

Finally, something girly! Well I guess I can't say girly, cause there is a boy in her class, but it's better than football. Hailey has finally reached the age where she can do some extra curricular activities. She and her friend Gabby are in a Gymnastics class together. They are both so cute in there. Hailey loves to get her "princess dance" on and go to class. They stretch, do songs with actions, jump on the trampoline, do the balance beam, do somersaults and rolling. The picture above is Hailey and Gabby doing the "butterfly".

VICTORY!

Yes, this season of football has proven to be much better than last, and we've only played 3 games. Braxton's team has won two of the three. It's a much different experience to get praise instead of lectured. The team has really come together since the first game. Braxton has even been complimented by the coaches by how far he's come since the beginning of the season. Yesterday we played the team that Braxton was supposed to be on, which his best buddy Zach is on. I hate to say this, but we creamed them. 20 to 0! It was a great game......
