Happy Birthday Sara and Clara!!

We had a combined Luncheon Daytime Birthday Party for Mother and Daughter.
Everyone brought a salad and I provided the sandwich fixings and the cakes.

CLARA'S CAKE

SARA'S CAKE/CUPCAKES
THESE CUPCAKES WERE SO GOOD. I COMBINED CAKE AND PIE INTO ONE DESSERT.
THE CAKE IS FROM SCRATCH, AND THE CENTER IS MY FAMOUS PEANUT BUTTER PIE. WITH A SEMI-HOMEMADE FROSTING

THE PARTY
In attendance:
Sara Lee, Clara Lee, Grandma Lee, Kallee Cook and her kids, Erin Hawkes, Kelsie Hawkes, Me and Brax.

Of Course my sweet little brax in the middle of everything with dads shoes on.

Clara really enjoyed the cupcake

I've been told that I have to start taking pictures with the cakes I make.

MESSES AND MISCHIEF

Trying to sneak some watermelon while mom was inside.

Yummy Watermelon!

escaping the bath tub

silly silly

Helping mom put together some patio chairs.

My BOY, leave it to him to find the two biggest rocks around and start throwing them.

This was the very first time he had ever attempted climbing on this and he did awesome.

He wasn't even a little big scared.

He made it!

I was yelling in the other end, it was so funny to see how confused he was that this pipe was talking to him.

Dancing on the sprinkler box.

Of course, He empty's the whole lower cupboard just so he can climb in it.

Chocolate Ice Cream
It's good! It's yummy! It feels good in your tummy!

He climbed all the way into the crib with lucky's toy just to tease him.

Attempting another climb!

OUCH!

Didn't quite make it, nothing a little kiss won't fix though.

Silly Faces

Bath tub ESCAPEE!!!
Catch him!!

Look closely, Super TWO Binky Man!

Diaper tan baby!

Caught him reading his book to his bear. What a sweetheart.

OOOH, What a Deal!!

I was just walking through walmart to go get some food and they were rolling out racks of clothes with clearance marked on the top of the racks. So why not look, right. I got a floral dress (top and skirt) and 3 gorgeous dress jackets.

Retail Value: $105.00
What I paid was $5.00!!!!! $1 for each item

And they keep bringing more clothes out every week, so i keep looking hoping for some pants that will fit.

This is a Big One! Birthday's and Firworks

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Brandon's brother took us out to dinner on Saturday for Brandon's birthday to a Mexican restaurant. So I went and told the waitress that it was his birthday thinking that they were just going to bring out some fried ice cream which they did, but they also brought out this tattered sombrero for him to wear! LOL. That was a funny surprise. I was glad he put it on, I really didn't think he would.

Of Course Braxton had to wear it too! Silly kid, and such a cutie.
Don't I have cute boys!

The Cake
Almond Praline Ice Cream Cake

Fun Patriotic Jell-o for Daddy's B-day BBQ
Daddy's Presents
He got this Red Camping Chair
and as always Braxton thinks that it is his Chair.

Brandon never wears sandals always tennis shoes!
So I got him some crocs and he loves them and of course so does Braxton.

Rain on Brandon's Birthday
Braxton and I got caught in this "monsoon season" Cloud Burst walking back from walmart, we were soaking wet by the time we got back home

HAPPY 4TH JULY

Well we didn't go anywhere for the fireworks because it was still 102 degrees at 9:00pm! So we heard that some could be seen from our apartment, so that is what we decided to do.

Our annual family fourth picture

Braxton hates it when Uncle Tyler picks him up he kicks and whines. But last night it turned into a game and brax kicked harder and was laughing. I was afraid he was going to hurt Tyler with all his kicking like he has with Brandon so many times. Ha Ha

Little did I know behind Tyler and Erins apartment is this giant grassy area with a small hill! So Braxton had lots of fun running up and down the hill, we had to take his shoes off because when he would run down the hill, his flip flops would trip him and he would face plant it in the grass and slide down a little ways! He never cried though, he thought it was funny.
I was trying to teach him to lie down and roll down the hill, but he didn't quite understand. He did think it was funny as a manually rolled him down the hill. We'll work on it.

Waiting for the fireworks, it was so cute how braxton would go and lay down in between them.

The fire works were really far away, farther than we thought they would be.

Flying with Uncle Jared
(My Camera wouldn't take very well with it being so dark)

There were also two dogs out there with us and of course Brax the dog lover had to give them pats on the head and hugs.

Lucky also got to meet and play (they are playing, I know i looks like fighting) with another dog for the first time in a few months, poor puppy. I can't wait till I can let him run free again.

No more than twenty minutes after we got home he was past out cold on the chair.
And he slept all night until 9:30 this morning !!!
That was really nice because we had everyone over to watch "8 Rounds" until 1 am.
