Look who is 6

BRONSON!

6 years ago today I was holding my #2 son! I was super excited and scared to go in for my scheduled c-section. I was excited to meet my new baby and to find out what it was, and I was sad because I didn't know if I would be able to love another child as much as I loved Braxton. Boy was I wrong! I could love him just as much.
Just like Robert Brault said~ A parent's love is whole no matter how many times divided.
He entered the world at 8:09 am weighing in at 7 lbs 10 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. I was really wishing the dr would have shaved off an ounce on his weight so he would have weighed 7 lbs 9 ounces on 7-9! Wouldn't that have been cool? If you notice everything but his weight has a 9 in it! This little boy had the most hair of all of my kids! He needed a haircut right when he was born. It was coal black too. So check out the color of it now.

I was pretty sure I was having a girl. I don't know if I really had that "feeling" or if I just wanted a girl so bad that I thought if I kept saying he was a girl then he would come out a girl. When they told me it was a BOY, I cried. not tears of joy but tears of saddness, because I wanted a girl soooooo bad. But once I took that first look at him, I cried tears of joy because he was perfect! He was mine and it didn't matter if he was a boy! I can not imagine my life without this little stinker! He has the biggest smile, the best personality and the most gorgeous eyes and eyelashes that any girl would die for! He never meets a stranger, talks a mile a minute, loves to eat where ever he is at and loves to go! I wonder where he gets those traits from? :)

He is spending the day with his best bud, Colby and then we are having his birthday party tonight. I asked him this morning what he wanted for his birthday supper and he wants, CHICKEN and MACARONI and CHEESE! Imagine that! I can't wait for him to open up his present. We got him..... oh you just will have to wait until I post pictures of his party. So if you see little man out and about, wish him a very happy 6th birthday! 10 more years and he will be driving..... (tear)!
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRONSON, Mommy loves you!

My quote

Last week we were "blessed" to have extra kids at our house or with us for 5 days. There were a couple of times that I wondered what in the world I was thinking. As I was reading some parenting quotes I came across one that is "MY QUOTE". When I read it, it really hit home. This is exactly how I feel.

If your children spend most of their time in other people's houses, you're lucky; if they all congregate at your house. you're blessed.

Isn't that the truth? I think so! So I am very blessed:)

please add to your prayer list

randy sayre.....

he is the husband of my secretary. this weekend he was complaining of chest pains and went to the er. they just found out this morning that he did have a small heartattack, 2 of the 3 arteries are 90% blocked and he will be having bypass surgery either tomorrow or wednesday. he is in the hospital in springfield, mo. so please keep this family in your prayers.

the basket that i won in the giveaway came in the mail yesterday! i knew it should be coming yesterday,but also knew i wouldn't be around to get it from the post office. so i talked to the postmaster and she said if my dad didn't get it picked up that she would take it home with her and i could get it when i got home. that is what i LOVE about small towns. so here it is my friends.

FUN CITY

we took off on thursday at 5 and headed to fun city with 6 boys in tow. we were celebrating bronson's birthday a week early. he took colby and micah with him and brax took aaron with him. we got to fun city around 7ish. we got to go swimming for about an hour and then everyone was hungry. we ordered the kids a 28inch pizza! it was HUGE!

this is what the pizza looked like after they were done eating. we took the rest to our room b/c i knew after we played games they would be ready for a midnight snack. and they were! we got back the room around 12ish and they ate some more pizza and then we headed to bed.

Miscellaneous........

Last night was Bronson's last game. Everyone got a hit! That made me super excited. We bought the kids trophies for doing such a great job. They thought that was pretty cool:) Bronson is the first one in the back row, on the left.

Tonight we are headed out to Fun City! Bronson's 6th birthday is next week, so we decided to take him and a couple of friends to Fun City. Braxton is taking a friend also so he isn't bored to death! and then there is Braylon. He likes to hang with Mommy so he didn't need a friend. We are planning on doing the game room, the go karts, bowling and all that fun stuff tonight when we get there and then tomorrow we are going to spend the WHOLE day at the waterpark. The temperature is suppose to be 90 degrees. I just said last night that I hoped it was 90! Thank you God for listening to my prayer request.

So tonight as you lay down and say your prayers, say an extra pray for our travel, safety and MY SANITY:)

I promise I will post pictures when we get back.

Three day weekend...... HERE I COME.............
