Pond with Dazy Dog

Brayden and I went to our pond. We love going there.

It is so peaceful.

 

 

Dazy loves it.

 

Its so cute to see how she keeps an eye on the boys...

 

 

I felt like there was the wave of emotion over me this time. Knowing this would be our last visit to the pond. I have so many good memories here- Chandler and his friends on his boat, Brayden getting in with just his diaper on, us launching our cucumber boats we made...

This pond has meant alot to us, we will really miss it.

 

We do know God has many great new

memories in store for us-

I pray that we always cherish these.

a prayer come true, its snowing!!

 

Brayden was saying that he wanted it to snow ...a couple of minutes later it started to snow!! He was SO EXCITED!

 

 

These pictures capture it perfectly.

I love how you can see his missing tooth.

maybe thats all he wants for christmas...is his front tooth!

 

Beautiful Dazy, ready for Christmas.

Pet Day at School....

This week has been nuts, babysitting, coordinating  Chandlers school auction, Chandler breaking his mouth brace (so many orthodontics appts), the rain, getting Dazy groomed, having a one year old (diapers again), Chad getting ready for a busy weekend, a good friend having the baby, both of the boys last basketball games, cracking my tooth.....I feel like all i am doing is driving, but I am having fun!

So, today was pet day for Brayden! Here is Dazy in her booster seat- running all those errands before her debut at school!

Here is Brays best girl friend at school...with her Bunny!

and here is Brayden...showing Dazy to his class- trying to get her to do tricks!

of course, we had to show them all her outfits and have a fashion show!

A couple of things

Friday, Peggy moved, far away. As we were packing and loading the truck, I realized how much we have been through together. She has been like a mother to me for about 8 years. It was hard to walk away from her, but I am excited that she is starting this new journey. I will really miss her. We may be separated by miles, but we will always be close.

and Thursday is her Birthday- so Happy Birthday Peggy, love you.

I had to share this picture...its a first- Snowbell and Daisy laying this close together! It didn't last long, but it's a start!

Playing with friends, at a bounce park! The boys had a blast!

Brayden has his Special Friends day at school. He made a butterfly for my dad, with their picture together inside- he was so proud of it.

I really enjoyed the day. I feel so blessed to have him as our son, he has brought such joy to our lives. I see him smile and giggle, and I just glow with love! I cant wait for Mothers Day at Chandlers school! I cant tell you how blessed I feel to have both boys at amazing schools, we are so fortunate.

Love, ~melissa

Daisys Costume Dillema

The Boys cannot decide.....A pirate?

Or a Bumble Bee......?

I vote for the Bee! I love the antennas! Plus Brayden likes a transformer named Bumble Bee. So we will see tonight, what they decide!

Our Daisy- she puts up with so much!

Happy Halloween!

Daisy's Wardrobe Change!

Since Daisys the only girl in the house I get to dress up-we have to have a warm and a cool outfit...right? So with the cold weather lately, we got her a sweater today. Here is her summer tutu - that we are putting up for next year!




And here is her winter sweater. Doesnt she look so cute!
Chandler also got her a training leash for walks- which cracks me up, because she is the dog that cries to ride in the stroller when I walk her!

Love, Melissa
