Brayson's Three!

When I woke up this morning, I realized that my baby boy was turning 3 today. We already had his birthday, so I really didn't plan on doing much on his actual birthday, but I decided to take him to do something fun. I thought that we'd take a trip to Johnson City to go to the Exotic Resort Zoo. Brayson thought that would be a "gweat idea" too. We called up Nana and hit the road! What a blast we had!!! I never thought that that place would be so exciting, but it really was so much fun! Brayson loved every minute of it!

I can't believe it's been 3 years since I gave birth to my perfect baby Brayson. God has really blessed me and my family with such an amazing little boy. If someone had told me 4 years ago that I'd have a little boy, I would have told them they were crazy because I wasn't having any more kids! Boy am I glad that God knew better than me. I could not be happier with my little family. I truly am thankful for every gift that God has given us.

Here are some pics of our adventure today!

Lots of things

Here is what we've been up to the last couple of months or so. We had such a wonderful, very eventful summer that I really hated for it to end. Blaire had way more to do this summer than ever before! I guess that's a sign of getting older! We had a great family reunion, spent time on the lake and we spent the last day of summer before school started at Splashtown in San Antonio. We had a blast! Blaire's friend Leah came along, too. Then school started and it's been super busy since! Brayson had his 3rd birthday party and he started school also. Blaire has started volleyball and will soon cheer at her first football game! Here are some pics....
