School time!
I cannot believe we are headed back to school!! Mommy went back to work on August 6 and yall went to IHI for a week. Brody, you got to go on field trips and Payton and Brecken enjoyed seeing friends.
Brody started 1st grade on August 13!! I cannot believe it. You have Mrs. Gunter as your teacher and we are so excited!! Friends in your class from last year are Cole, Daniel, Virginia, Anderson, and Makayla. You have made friends with Boubacar and Grant. The beginning of school went great for both of us! Mommy has some tough kids, but we will make it!
Payton and Brecken, you got a week home with Nana and Papa waiting for your school to start! Yall started on August 20th. Payton, you are in Ms. Maria and Ms. Anita's class and are so excited! You say you are the oldest in the school and in the big kid class! Brecken you are in Ms. Paulette and Ms. Michelle's class. By the second week, you weren't crying anymore when we dropped you off! Mommy cried the first day but that is it! I did good!
We celebrated daddy's birthday on August 17th! We went out to eat at Smitty's. We all pitched in and got daddy a new smoker/grill! I was so excited to get it for him!
Payton, you got cellulitis from a bug bite again! Your skin has an awful time with stuff like that! Brody, you started soccer and are loving it! We also went to Maddox's 1st birthday party, and Brecken you loved all the water stuff!
We are ready for a good year! I love you so much! More than you will ever know! You all make me so proud!

Happy Birthday Brecken!!
Brecken,
You are ONE!! I cannot believe it! You are so full of life and joy! You scrunch that little nose of yours and smile and I melt.
You are not sleeping great, but I think part of that may be your ears. Hopefully when we get tubes that will get better!
You are a mama's boy - major!!! You cry if I am around and don't pick you up. Or if I have you and try to hand you off to someone, you melt down!!! I can't say I hate it. But at times, it is hard because I can't hold you 24/7. Although I would like to!
You are still nursing 3 times a day! You love you some milk. I am savoring this time with you since you are my last baby!
You have a few teeth, can pretty much stand on your own, cruise around holding things, crawl, laugh, love food and milk, sign all done and more, can say mama, more, all done, bye bye.
You are 24 pounds and such a big boy! You hair has turned blonde and you have tons of curls! You have gorgeous blue eyes! I love you so much and I am so thankful God gave you to us as our grand finale!! You are the perfect addition to our family. Mommy would do anything for you and you are my world!
Happy birthday sweet boy! Here's to many more!

April 2018
This has been a fun, busy month!!!
April 6th - Happy Birthday Brecken!!! Mommy took a half day off and in the afternoon we went to the Amazeum and had fun with you all afternoon! We had dinner and did a cupcake for your birthday!
On April 7th, we celebrated Brecken's birthday!!! We had a "tribal" theme birthday party at the church. We had lots of friends come and we all really enjoyed it! I cannot believe you are already a year old! You loved the cake! You kept slapping it and flinging cake every where!! This year has flown by! You felt better from your ears on your birthday but the Monday after you were hurting again. We decided to get you tubes. Your surgery was April 17 and you did awesome. There was lots of puss in your ears so it is a good thing.
Brody - you are doing awesome in school. You had your first sleepover this month because we had to get Brecken tubes. You stayed the night with Paul and Luke since you go to school together. You had fun and did awesome! You and Payton like to pick on each other, but you are a kind and loving boy!
Payton - you are doing awesome in school but you are ready to go to Ms. Maria's class! You are so excited. You had your first sleepover too and you went to Kenzie's house. They said you talked a ton at bed. Not surprised! :) You love talking!!! We also went ahead and had your birthday party April 28th because Molly's birthday is so close and we want them to have a weekend. We had a princess birthday party. You and your girlfriends dressed up and we had finger nail painting, make-up, and jewelry making. You LOVED it. We did it at the church.
Mommy had a wedding this month! It went great but I learned a lot!
Brecken - you got shots for your 1 year. :( But we spread them out. You are 24 lbs and huge! Your head is still at the 100th percentile. But your height and weight are in the 80th and 90th.
I love you guys so much!!!

March 2018
This month has been busy but fun!
Brody - you have been taking ninja classes. You finished up your first 12 weeks (you are going to do another 12). You really like it and are really making good progress. You are getting more confident and more fine motor skills. You are doing well in kindergarten and loving it!!! We love Mrs. Shiohira!
Payton - you are doing well in Ms. Becky and Ms. Stephanies class! You love being in class with your best friends Carrigan and Kenzie. You are full of life and sass! You are hilarious and love to talk!!!
Breck - You are growing like crazy and doing new things all the time! You can stand by yourself now! You have had tons of ear infections. Well like one continuous one. We have done 4 rounds of oral antibiotics, 3 days of shots, and it still is not clearing up! We are headed to the ENT to see about tubes!
We had a fun spring break just hanging out at the house and having fun. Mommy did have to have a colonoscopy which wasn't fun, but it was all good so that is good! We went swimming, played at parks! Mommy and the kids went the first weekend of spring break to St. Louis and stayed with Aunt Lynnlee and Uncle Chris. We went to the zoo one day, went to church, and went shopping. We had lots of fun! We also won a table! Wahoo!
Mommy also went to OKC to help with a wedding. Nana and Brecken went too and daddy and papa and payton and Brody stayed in Bentonville and had a fun weekend together. Easter was on April 1, so at the end of March we did some Easter egg hunts and dyed Easter eggs. We went to the Rogers Church of the Nazarene Easter egg hunt and you kids had lots of fun!!
I love you guys so much and am so glad I am your mommy!
