Our Trip to Mexico

we had a blast....

Lacrosse Game

Chandler had his first lacrosse game.

He is playing Defense this year.

He had a really good game, he played really well!

After the concert, Chad and I took all 5 Pahuta children. We love having them, they are truly like family to us.

Chad took the bigger boys to watch the game at WWC. I took all the littler people & Dazy to our pond.

we all had a good time....

Rock Concert

Here is a picture of Chandler practicing the night before his concert. Of course, Brayden had to be included!

Chandler was nervous, but ready.

He has worked hard learning the songs,

and the time had come. Here he is playing...

as the lead guitarist.

Here he is on stage. We were all so proud of him.

I was in tears, watching him play...he did so well.

It was nice to have us, his friends and his Grandpa Wood there. He really appreciated that. Brayden sat in the first row, in shock and almost in tears too!

Rock Out!!

Braydens Family Day In PreK

Today was Brayden's Family Day.

Every year I go or one of our friends. But, this year he told us, all he wanted there was his "brudder Chandler"...and maybe Daddy could come too.

Below is a picture of Brayden in the chapel. I sat there watching his cheerful face singing, thinking, this is it...his last year of being at this school (part time). We have truly enjoyed our time together. I could just cry thinking about this period that is ending, soon.

Bray and some of his friends...

My boys...

He looks so grown...He cant wait to start Kindergarten.

(we can)

Brayden is truly the glue to our family....the added joy, the added spirit of happiness, our little guy. He has such a love for his family. We were really grateful to have this day with him, seeing what he has learned and how proud he is.

He is such a blessing to us. Both of our boys are.

Not many days left here...we will cherish every last one.

Soon you will be in school all day, packing a lunch, napping, having homework etc.... I can't believe it, it makes me tear up!

Our Boys

I wanted to post this picture...because it really exemplifies our lives--Chad and I together, watching our boys growing before our eyes, in complete amazement.

One in Middle School, soon to be a teenager, playing guitar, with a face full of pimples and probably smarter then us!

The other, In PreK, reading the Hungry Caterpillar with a face full of freckles and definitely funnier then us!

We wouldn't change it for the world.

we get to experience braydens spirit of joy & preschool fits and chandlers sense of excitement & teen attitude.

Ups and Downs all day, I am so grateful to be to stay home, to experience them- all!

I thank God for entrusting these two boys to our care.

Allowing us to train them up, In Him.

Though some days are tougher then others, we are so grateful to have Gods Grace to handle them!!

We are so blessed.

Last soccer practice

Brayden (or Bob the Tomato!) listening to his coach.

His team.

Now, it's time for Chandler to start lacrosse!

Spaghetti Dinner

Every year, we go with our closest friends to a Spaghetti Dinner at Laura's Church. We always have the best time!
To have our hubbys and families together, good food and
a really fun auction, is a blast.

I love these girls....

Brayden bidded on a boys dream, a box of all different toys

 (to me a box of junk) and he won it!!

It was so big we could barely fit it in Chads car!

Chandler won a game, that was way more reasonable!

Brayden's First Homework

Tonight was a big deal at our house..Brayden had his first homework!! We all had a good time helping him. He was so tickled to be like his big brother and have night time work to do...though preK is alot easier then middle school.

Check out how "boy" his red items are...so cute.

Praying For Neal

Chandler has a very good friend that has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks now. If you can keep him in your prayers.
