Braxton's birthday gift

Braxton is in love with Batman so of course he had to carve a batman pumpkin and was batman for halloween!

The new hats i had made for the boys pictures when the baby comes Skunk hats or shall I say gunk thats what Braxton calls it.

So I am a super slacker when it comes to updating the blog. I probably update every 3 months and then make a goal to be a better updater but I never do so will try it again. We are all doing really well Braxton turned 3 on September 25 and is full of it. He has the cutest personality and its cuter everyday. The other night kevin was sound asleep snoring and I was almost out when I hear SMACK! Kevin jumps up and said how come you hit me bud? He said you are snoring dad STOP! HAHAHA I laughed so hard. Kevin didn't even remember it the next day.
The next 5 weeks are super busy in are family as we have Kevin's birthday, my birthday, Thanksgiving, Kevins brother will leave on his mission to New York, New York South on December 14 and will have a baby 1 week later. We are so proud of Kades decision to serve the lord. We will miss him very much especially Braxton, uncle Kade is his favorite. Here is just a few pics.

Its a ?

We are going to be having another BOY! We are very excited and feel blessed that Braxton will have a buddy to play with. He still calls it a baby sister but in time I'm sure we can convince him its a brother. The doctor said it looks real healthy. His due date is January 6 but because I'm at high risk for hemerging because of the way he had to cut Braxton out we will shoot for the latest December 23. YUCK! I'm going to try and convince him the 22 or 21 but we will see. I would post the video of the ultrasound but can't get it to upload so as soon as I learn it will be up.

What is your GUESS?

2011-08-02T17:52:00.001-07:00

On Thursday we find out what we are having! We are so excited! Will it be blue again or pink? Can't wait!

My Goal to Be a Better Blogger

2011-02-14T17:32:00.000-08:00

I was looking at the last date that i updated and it was in October! That is sad! So I will keep it short and sweet. As of lately Braxton is talking up a storm and being a tornado and when I say tornado I really mean it he can mess this house up faster then I can clean it. I swear that he goes behind laughs at me. We still have tons of snow in are backyard and want warm weather so bad. Braxton wants to be outside so bad he can't stand it.

Kevin and I went for a weekend trip to Salt Lake and went to a jazz game and shopping we really enjoyed it because Braxton stayed home with grandma was nice but he was missed. We were able to go with my brother and his wife to the game. Are seats were not so good but it was still fun.

Kevin has been busy with windshields and rock chip repairs everyday he off work. He is so remoldeing the basement and its takin longer then i would want it to but I guess thats what happens when do something like that.

The Last 3 Months

2010-10-17T08:42:00.000-07:00

So its a been awhile and I hope that I can remember all the things that have happend in the last 3 months. Well its starts with July and Braxton scaring us with lumps in his neck. They wanted to make sure that there were not cancer so they did a ultra sound which was hell because kevin and I had to hold him down and let him scream. After was all said and done and the prayers his lumps were not cancer just inflamed from the nasty infected tonsils. So we had the tonsils taken out on July 15.

August: We got to go to Island Park for a week and of course I took the camera and forgot to take pics. It was so much fun and Braxton got to ride on the 4 wheelers a lot so he was a Happy Camper. Then Kevin got this bright idea that month that he wants to start his own business installing auto glass and rock chip repair. So we are officially owners of Lewis Auto Glass!
September: Has been a busy month for us. I got a job as the 7th grade volleyball coach here at the middle school. It was such a rewarding job to see these girls progress and learn. It was a great year and I miss the girls so much. Also I had my little boy turn 2. It was so sad! He doesn't seem that old but its scary how fast they grow up.October: Has been great so far. kevin has been busy with his business on the weekends only because of his other job which he would love to quit and just do windshields but we need insurance so his dreams wont come true anytime soon. HAHA This coming week we are going to Eugene, Oregon on Wednesday for one of kevins classes he is taking for his new business. I promised myself that I will take the camera this time and take pics.

Spring Fever and The ZOO!

2010-03-03T08:43:00.001-08:00

So this Sunday Kevin called me from work and said lets go to Salt Lake. If you know my husband really well he hates the City. Which is total opposite from me. He hates Salt Lake City and all the city has to offer but he had some major spring fever. So we decided when he got home from work we would take off and go to Hogle Zoo and shop and just have fun. It was Braxtons first time at the ZOO. He loved the Gorilla and the tigers the best. He wasn't sure about the Giraffes. We had such a good time. Bought lots of new clothes and other things. I love this new side of Kevin HAHA!

What we have been up to~

2010-02-23T07:19:00.000-08:00

We have been so busy lately.We just painted and got the kitchen done. Well almost a few minor touch ups. This past week has been hell for us though. Braxtons 4 front teeth came in rotten so the only way for the dentist was going to fix them is to put him under and apply 4 crowns. This happend Thursday and he did so well. They look a little funny but better then 4 brown teeth. Then Friday he was at Kevins parents house while I was doing hair and he decided to touch grandmas pellet stove and burn his entire palm and fingers of his right hand. Its was a giant blister. Yesterday we went back to the doc. and his hand looks really good. All the blisters are poped and all is left is dead skin. Well thats are crisis and we are doing really good this week so far so we have are fingers crossed.

Procrastionator and Busy Life

2010-01-07T07:56:00.000-08:00

Its been since October since my last post but we have been so busy. In November Kevin and I celebrated are birthdays. Kevin is now 23 and I am 22. WOW we are getting old. Braxton is busier then ever. He is now throwing major fits. I think I may have to go to one of the battered mother meetings! HAHA JK (my name is letitia lewis my son is 16 months old and he beats the crap out of me) HAHA No I figure its normal for every child to go through stages were they slaps the mother around at 16 months old. Besides him beating the crap out of me he is growing up so fast because his personailty is so cute and he is starting to talk and make all sorts of animals noises. Anyways Christmas was great but busy. It seemed like it wasn't even Christmas because we were so busy. We spent Christmas eve and morning in Pocatello. After we talked to my bro in Germany we left for Montpelier were went straight to Kevins Grandma and Grandpa Lewis house for dinner, to his other grandparents, to his parents house and home. It was a busy day but great for us. News years was not eventfull because we went to bed at 10 because Kevin had to work the next morning. WAHOO we are so interesting. I will post pictures of Christmas when my mom gives them to me. For now this is all!

Halloween and Braxton !

2009-11-02T21:07:00.000-08:00

Braxton after eating his cheetos Kandy gave him
for a trick or treat. They turn your mouth blue

Braxton is growing up so fast. This was his second Halloween and he was a frog. It was so cute. He is just about walking. He walks a long ways and realizes he is doing it and sits right on his bum. He is a little stinker but we love him. On Halloween we went and visited Kevins cousin Tyler who was in town. There little boy Bronson is a month older then Braxton and they got to see each other for the first time. Bronson didn't like Braxton so much but Braxton gave him a great big hug. He is are little lover!

Went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse and went and saw the Proposal. It was so much fun especially the movie. I love kevin so much. He is so good to me. He is such a good provider and hard worker for this family and a great dad. Thanks honey for such a great two years.

Kids Grow up to FAST!

2009-09-19T15:20:00.000-07:00

Where does all the time go when your baby is growing up? It goes so fast I can't even believe it. Braxton is almost walking. We love him so much and thank heavenly father everyday for this little boy he may be a little monster at times but makes me laugh everyday. He loves to read books and brings them to me to read. He is so cute and we love him very much and the wonderful smiles he shows.

Slacker!!!

2009-08-22T11:43:00.000-07:00

Sorry my pictures would not all upload so I will post them another time.
I have been such a slacker this summer. Ever since we moved into are new house it seems nothing ever gets done but the house and even that gets put aside. Braxton is 11 months and crawling and soon to be walking. I can't believe how fast they grow up. Kevin is still working and loving that hunting season is just around the corner. I am working two days a week at a local salon in Montpelier and its been so fun to get to do hair. Well here are just a few pictures from this way fun summer we had so far.

Crazy Weeks!

2009-05-16T10:01:00.000-07:00

BRAXTONS BUDDY DADDY

LOVES TO PLAY WITH KEY

MY LITTLE ROLLING MONSTER

Are lives have been so crazy the last 2 weeks trying to close on are house and get everything packed. Braxton is now rolling from one end of the apartment to the next. Its crazy he just goes and goes. He wants to crawl but just when we think he going to do it he rolls. The little stinker is teasing us. We just closed on are house this last Thursday and now we have to go to work getting the sick popcorn ceiling off and paint. Its such a pain in the butt. It will be worth it in the end though. We can't wait to move into are new house. It will be so exciting and more room for Braxton to roll and crawl.

The UPDATE!

2009-04-26T16:41:00.000-07:00

GRACIE playing in the yard

THE TEAM PARKS

So heres the update since the last blog because I'm such a slacker. After Jakes wedding we spent the week at moms so I could help watch Gracie for my mom so she could get the open house done. We had fun but it was real good birth control for me to be watching both kids. I love them both dearly but together they both tired me out. For the past 2 months I have been playing volleyball in the womens league in Bear Lake. It was so much fun. I loved it and not its over. We had a tournament yesterday and took 3rd. We also put an offer on a home and Montpelier and got it so we are just waiting on are loan to go through and hope that we can move in soon. We are way excited for are new home. Here just pictures of the volleyball and the week in Pocatello.

Braxton 6 Months and half way to BIG 1!

2009-04-01T13:34:00.000-07:00

Braxton last Thursday just turned 6 months! I can't believe how much he has grown lately. He is learning to roll and arching his back.He is wearing a size 2 shoe. The worst is he is trying to cut through two teeth! So he chews on anything he can get ahold of! We are loving watching him grow and love the blessing that he has brought to Kevin and my life. We love him very much and love the smiles and joys he brings to are home!

Its been a long time since I posted anything. Are family is doing real well. Kevin is continueing to work as usual. Braxton is getting so big. He is almost 6 months old and growing faster then I can keep up. He is rolling over and sucking on his toes. Its so cute! Kevin just bought a new bow and acts like he is five at Christmas. HAHA I just bought a lab top and a nintendo wii to keep me busy here in this small town. Braxton and I just got back about a week ago from Salt Lake City because Jake my brother is getting married in April and his fiance Rylie's shower was in Salt Lake. We got to go shopping and bought lots of new clothes.

Its Been So Long

2009-01-19T16:17:00.000-08:00

Well its been so long since I have blogged. My life has been crazy with getting used to having the baby around but it is finally settling down at are house. Braxton is now 4 months old and loving life. He love to talk to everyone and make wonderful smiles at those who talk to him. He just got real sick with RSV. Respiratory Syncytial Virus. Its really just a common cold in adults but for babies its pretty serious. It has been so stressful because he stops breathing. There is no treatment for it but he is starting to get a little better everyday. The holidays were great with Braxton but next year will be a little funner when he knows whats going on and can open his own gifts. The new year is going by way to fast already but we are looking forward to this year!

Braxtons Baby Blessing

2008-11-25T21:21:00.000-08:00

On Sunday we had the oppertunity to bless Braxton. We had lots of family come to Afton and it was great to have them come visit me there for a change. Kevin did a great job blessing him and it was also my birthday. So we had a great weekend with family.
