Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my man!!! He really is 33 this year:)

Do you guys remember last year when I posted Happy Birthday do him and I said he was 33? Well he really is 33 today!

We don't have much planned today. I think him and the boys are going to go fishing and I am going to run to KV to get some groceries and his bday present. Nothing like waiting till the last minute:) Then we are going to his mom's for fried chicken, mashed tators and the fixings (are you jealous andrea??).

So if you see Jared today give him a big fat kiss or spankin'!

Happy Birthday Babe. I love you more today than I did yesterday, but not as much as I will love you tomorrow!

"Rusty"

Every day that I take Braylon to the babysitter he wants me to call and tell my dad to pick him up in Rusty! What kid would want to be seen in a vehicle like this?? Braylon thinks it is the best thing in the world and can not wait to get in it. This truck that we named Rusty, was my Grandad's. My dad now has the privilege of owning and driving it. I do have to say that "Rusty" is quieter than any truck in town, gets around good for how old it is and can still spin rocks.

I just love that my kids are getting the chance to ride in something that their Great Grandad owned.

Do you have any idea where the name "Rusty" may have came from????

what do you think?

I had Mandie do some stuff to a couple of pictures that she took of Bronson. What do you think? I love them!

You will have to click on each picture to make it bigger to see what she has done!

Funny

This is something Jared would do to me! So mean, but so funny!

The tooth fairy has come!

I got a text yesterday from the school nurse saying "bronson just lost his tooth. he is so excited!". i was so happy for him, but on the other hand i was a little jealous because i wanted to be there when he lost his first tooth.

when i picked him up from school he had a little necklace around his neck with a plastic tooth hanging on it and in that little tooth box, was his tooth! he said "mommy, it didn't even hurt. mrs. jackson just pulled it right out!"

so he got his tooth put in his tooth box at home and got it ready for the tooth fairy, after he dumped the box and lost his tooth for about 5 minutes! that was fun! it was like looking for a needle in a haystack!

this morning he woke up and started eating breakfast and didn't even say anything about his tooth. i said "bronson did the tooth fairy come last night?" he said, i forgot to look!

lo and behold the tooth fairy did come. she brought him a dollar bill, 4 quarters and a letter!

he was excited!

this is what the letter said:

GOOD MORNING BRONSON,

LAST NIGHT WHILE YOU WERE FAST ASLEEP, I QUIETLY ENTERED YOUR ROOM, LOOKED UNDER YOUR PILLOW AND FOUND SOMETHING. SOMEONE IN LANCASTER TOLD ME YOU HAD RECENTLY LOST A TOOTH AND THEY WERE RIGHT! WHAT A FINE TOOTH IT WAS TOO. NOT MANY BOYS IN MISSOURI HAVE SUCH FINE TEETH. IT WILL SURELY BE ONE OF THE BEST IN MY COLLECTION.

NOT ALL BOYS AND GIRLS IN LANCASTER GET A LETTER FROM ME, BUT SOMEONE CLOSE TO YOU, AND I THINK YOU KNOW WHO I MEAN, SAID THAT YOU MIGHT REALLY ENJOY A NOTE FROM THE REAL TOOTH FAIRY.

LOSING A TOOTH IS A SPECIAL TIME FOR A YOUNG PERSON LIKE YOU BRONSON. IT MEANS YOU ARE GROWING UP AND SOON WILL HAVE NEW ADVENTURES IN FRONT OF YOU.

PART OF GROWING UP MEANS TAKING GOOD CARE OF YOUR TEETH. THAT MEANS BRUSHING EVERY DAY AND EATING THE RIGHT FOODS. IN APPRECIATION FOR LEAVING ME SUCH A FINE TOOTH, I HAVE LEFT YOU A SPECIAL SOMETHING TOO! I HOPE YOU HAVE FAIRY NICE DAY TODAY!

YOUR SECRET FRIEND,
THE TOOTH FAIRY

when i read the letter to him, he wanted to know who told the tooth fairy he would want a letter! i just ignored him and went right on reading:)

Tired little boy

A few weeks ago Braxton's baseball team had a fundraiser in Memphis. On our way over there Braylon fell asleep. Well we didn't want to leave him in the car with the windows down for fear of getting turned in! and we had lots of stuff to do so Jared just unbuckled the car seat and set it out by our tent. He slept there for over an hour, even through all the commotion. If you know Braylon well enough you know not to wake him up! He is an absolute bear and doesn't corporate to well.

Allergy testing

Wednesday we took Bronson to the allergy doctor to find out what he is allergic to. The poor kid has a lot of allergies. The doctor said he had an adult size reaction to the test and his highly allergic to several things. He is allergic to all weeds, grasses, cock roaches, dust mites, house dust and cats. He seems to think that he will develop more allergies as he gets older. He said since Bronson had so many lung problems when he was younger and now having so many allergies that he is a prime candidate for asthma. He thinks keeping him on 3 different allergy medicines a day and starting shots next week will help him tremendously and will hopefully keep him from getting asthma.

Bronson was such a trooper! He laid there like a big boy and let them do the testing and then he wiggled and squirmed for 15 minutes b/c it was itching so bad. But if your back looked like his did you would have been very uncomfortable too.
