Happy Halloween







We had a fun Halloween. Our little pumpkin is a week and a half old. BrinLee was so excited to be a kitty with a pink tail, and thinks that Easton is the funniest thing she has seen when Easton is in his monkey suit. Easton loved dressing up because BrinLee just laughed. Thanks to Meran and Megan for being such sweethearts and taking Brin and East trick or treating. They loved every minute of it.

It's a Boy!











Braxton Ethan arrived on October 20th. He was 8lbs 13ounces and 20 1/2 inches. We are so excited to have him here and healthy. Easton's face says it all about how he feels. He loves his baby Brax. BrinLee is just as thrilled and loves being the biggest. They are both wonderful helpers and are learning to take turns with the new brother. They are constantly either kissing or holding him. Ethan was excited to have a boy that he actually went shopping so that Braxton could come home in camo. He is such a joy and heaven here on earth along with BrinLee and Easton. We love them all so much. Thank you for all of the visits and calls. We feel so blessed to have such great family and friends.

Girls Trip




We had our annual girls weekend on my side of the family for grandma Elda's birthday. We went October 17 & 18. We had a great time. BrinLee loved hanging out with all of her girl cousins. We went and got pedicures together. This was a first for Grandma Lane, BrinLee, & I. We shopped a lot, went to dinner at the crab place (red lobster, BrinLee's favorite), and we stayed at a hotel. It was a great get away, but we missed the girls in the family a lot that weren't able to come, and hope to see them on the trip next year. Thanks to Megan and Meran they had the little girls hair all beautiful the next morning.

Big Sister and Big Brother

Thanks to Bridi she started me a blog a few months ago, and I am finally learning what to do. Our family is growing and we are onto number 3. We are due October 22nd, but the Dr. is starting me on the 20th. We are having this baby be a surprise and are so excited to get our baby here. BrinLee and Easton both love babies and are looking forward to ours. I know they will both be great helpers. Ethan is managing Headquarters, selling real estate, has his own rentals to rent, working for Industrial Electric, and who knows what will be next. He is a great husband and dad. I stay at home with the kids and love it, and try to do the books for the store and all of Ethan's buisness's. We feel so blessed to have our little family and to have both of our families living so close.

Easton 2 years old




Easton is our little man. He is definatley his daddy's boy not only does he always love to be with him, but he looks and acts just like him. He has so much energy and is always doing something. Easton loves riding his bike, going with dad and grandpa, playing and watching cars, motorcycles, four wheelers, and running around the house. Easton always reminds us to pray. He has a tender heart and a healthy set of lungs. He is always calling Ethan and says, "Where you at? and I wanna do." He loves going with grandpa especially in his jeep and big tractors. He is all boy and is so much fun. We love having him and cherish every day even our crazy ones. All of a sudden he has turned into a little man and is always so good to help mom!

BrinLee 4 years old




BrinLee is our little princess. She loves dancing, makeup, jewelry, fingernails, going to preschool, playing school, playing dolls, horses, being a cowgirl, and working at the store with Megan and Meran. BrinLee acts like she is 16, probably because she idolizes Megan and Meran. She loves going with grandpa to the farm to see her minature pony Black Bootie (Beauty), she plans to move in with grandma and grandpa once they are moved in. Every day BrinLee wakes up and first thing asks, "What do we have today?" if we don't have anything going she calls grandma to see if she can come get her to do something. Her new occupation is to be a State Senator since grandpa is running for the senate. She always says, "Me, grandpa, and Easton are going to be State Senators, huh grandpa." She is full of love and life and we love every minute with her. She always makes us laugh, and she is a mommy's girl, YA!
