Here we go again!

I am so over due for an update! 
So I thought I would share some recent pictures to catch us up!

This summer has been CRAZY!! We have been out of town every other week or two since May! I can't complain because it has been so much fun and who doesn't like vacation right?  We have done a lot of fun things and we have enjoyed every bit of summer! 

Tyler is loving his break from a full schedule this summer! He is completing an internship right now in the PR department at XanGo  and loving every single second of it! He is learning a lot and so thankful for the opportunity! He will be returning to school full time in the Fall.
 
Braxton, Braxton, Braxton.... Where to start with this little guy! He is such a joy and such a busy little thing! Some days I feel like I can't catch my breath from chasing him all day! He is just everywhere and into everything!!  He is starting to stand on his own after pulling him self up and just about ready to take that first step! Not sure when it will be and when he will actually be walking but I feel like it will be a lot sooner then I had planned! Our poor little Braxton just hasn't been cut any brakes this past little while! It's been one thing after another! He had 2 ear infections in June, caused by teething he has 4 coming in right now that are so close! Then last Monday, June 29th I won the "Worst Mom EVER Award!" Braxton decided to try the stairs for the FIRST TIME and ended up conquering the whole flight! Once he reached the top he came tumbling right down! Split the top of his head right opened and was rushed to the ER where he was stitched right up with 6 stitches! 

Then yesterday as we were wrapping up a fun filled 4th of July weekend Braxton woke up not feeling the best and it just progressed rapidly! We just took him into the Doctor today and.... HERE WE GO AGAIN!..... Once again it's RSV on top of another ear infection! Poor little guy! We were put on home health once again! He will be on breathing treatments for the next 10 days!

I can't believe how much Braxton has already had to go through in his short little life. He is such a trooper, and getting so big. He looks bigger than my 1yr old. She is tiny and doesn't have any desire to walk yet unless you help her.

I hope the rest of your summer goes well, and that Braxton can get a break from the doctor for awhile.

Oh my gosh Manda... your baby reminds me of mine! We actually just got out of the hospital ourselves, because Cache had a seizure. These little guys are bundles of joy and energy, and at the same time bring you so much worry! It sounds like you guys are on top of stuff though, so that's good! It looks like you guys are having a fun-filled and packed-full summer! That's awesome! How fast time goes by when you have so many fun things to do! I love it! And I love all the pics... Braxton's getting huge! He's so dang cute!

Poor little guy! He is too cute you guys, the picture of you showing his stitches is so sweet because even though he just got hurt he has the biggest smile, those teeth are so cute! I hope you both recuperate fast! Amanda you are such a sweet mom, the only way you can keep your kids from getting hurt all the time is to put them in a plastic bubble!
Cute picture of you guys at the cabin, you look so cute in that hat!!! And of course Braxton is absolutely adorable!
