Braxton Turns 8!

Braxton got the award for best dressed at the Blue and Gold dinner thanks to Grammy and Poppy who got his uniform for his birthday. Braxton gobbled up the chocolate wolf head they gave him without hesitation.

We had to make a cake for the Blue and Gold dinner. We kept it simple since I had so much else going on with Braxton's baptism. Not as fancy as the other cakes there, but it was a favorite with the kids because of the M&M's.

MMM, Chuckee Cheese pizza. Not the best, but good when you're hungry!

Parker's obsessed with basketball these days. Grandpa's helping him out here to play the big boy game.

The morning of Braxton's birthday

We brought in Braxton's favorite treats to his classroom on his birthday - donuts.

My parents got to come and stay with us for two weeks to be here for Braxton's 8th birthday and for his baptism. On Braxton's birthday we went into the school to drop off donuts which he loved. The next day we went to Chuckee Cheese, one of Braxton's favorite places to go. And that evening Braxton had his first Bule and Gold dinner. Now that he's 8, he's a cub scout. Lots of fun at the dinner. Glad my parents could be there for that too.
