Morning Chao's

For all you Mom's out there, you know exactly where I am coming from on this....GETTING YOUR CHILD READY FOR SCHOOL. Getting everything ready for school somedays can run very smoothly, then somedays you are either pulling your hair out, or running around with your head chopped off. Well, this morning was kind of like me running around CRAZY! First of all, Brax did not want to get out of bed, then I am looking at the clock thinking you have got to eat breakfast (it takes him 30 mins sometimes, because it takes him awhile to wake up), then we have to get dressed, fix his lunch, brush teeth, try to use the potty, etc....Ahhhhhh!!!!! Well, we ended up making it to school 5 minutes early, how....I have no idea, but I was impressed with myself. But we forgot to fix something before we left the house, and um.....well, Braxton wanted to fix it himself!!!!!!! Look at this video and it will explain everything, the mood he woke up with, and showing his independency!!!

Future Businessman?

Braxton loves coming to my office to help me work. It was so cute this morning, a customer came in and Brax said "Sir, can I help you, I work on puter (computer)"!!! I loved how Brax was so polite :). The customer was so nice and patient. He would have rather have set there and had a conversation with Braxton than me take of his insurance...lol!!! Finally after about 30 mins of 2 year old conversation and taking care of insurance, it was time for the customer to leave. Brax said "bye come again, have a great day"!

Words from an Angel

My eyes are stilled filled with joy right now as I post this. I haven't told anyone about what I received yesterday yet because I am still in shock and trying to come to grips myself about this.

After work, I went and picked Brax up, then we were invited over to our good friends Brad and Natalie's house for dinner. We had a great time and the food was delicious. Sorry, Natalie about Brax not eating that much, but I think he was all about that sucker (ducker Brad had promised him)...haha!!! I said "no" to the sucker because he didn't make a happy plate, but Brad couldn't resist Brax begging "Big Brad" for one. Anyways after a good dinner, lots of laughter, making fun of people on American Idol, it was time to head home and get ready for bed. We hadn't been home at all, so since the car was toasty and warm, and the temp outside was 25 degree's I decided to drive around the front of the house and get the mail. (Now everyone, you are probably thinking...lazy...get out of the car...don't waste gas..but you know what-...you would do the same thing haha) Anyways, received a few bills of course, then there was a little red envelope stuck in the middle of the stack of mail. There was no return address on there and it said Megan and Braxton on the front. I was curious, so I opened it right away...thinking it was a invitation to a bday party or a Valentine's Day card. Low and behold I was wrong-this is what the tiny letter said.....

Megan,

You might think right now is not the best time of your life, but we are all praying for you. God has a plan for you and he will get you through this. You have a beautiful little boy that has a smile that will light up the darkest room. Take care of your son, yourself, and your business and the rest will fall into place. There are a lot of people out there praying for you and wishing you happiness again.

Love,
Believers in you

After reading the letter, I was in tears! Braxton said "Mommy you ok, why you cry?" I turned to Braxton and said "Mommy is ok, she is crying because she is happy, there are people out there with hearts of gold!" Braxton looked at me differently than he ever has before, wiped a tear from my face and said...."Mommy I wuv (love) you, you will be ok!"

I have absolutely no idea who this letter came from. The letter was typed out as well, so I am clueless! Whoever the letter was from I just want to give a huge shout out "THANK YOU" for giving me words of inspiration and also believing. I will NEVER EVER forget this!

Homemade Tattoo Kit Anyone???

See Braxton got a coloring easel for Christmas....and he loves it! It has a dry erase board on one side that he colors with some dry erase markers. Well, the other day he came up to me with the "green" marker in his hand and said "Mommy wook at my tattoo's on my hands"! I said, Braxton you are only suppose to color on your board, not on your hands. Well, I thought he learned a lesson and he wasn't going to color on his hands again, since I took the markers away from him. I forgot to tell my mom yesterday that his markers were off limits......so when I went to pick him up after work this is what I saw.

"Wook at my tattoo Mommy"

Look at how CLOSE he got to his eye with that marker!!!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!! Thank god these markers were washable!

Just 5 months ago

I was at work looking for some pictures of a home that I am trying to insure and I came across these pictures. Here is Braxton on his first day of "Big Boy school" this last August. It amazes me how a child changes everyday. Look at how little he looks....:(!!!!!!

"Mommy I don't know about this"

Then this was taken a few days later...he couldn't wait to put his back pack on and head to school!

33 Years and Counting!!!!!!!!!

Happy 33rd Wedding Anniversary Mom & Dad!!!!!! I love you both SOOO much!

This is the most recent picture I have of my parents.....Halloween of 08. Here they are with my beautiful niece, Riley!

Date Night

So, you see "Date Night" at the top of the blog eh? Whatcha thinking...OMG...who is it with.....she was suppose to have her son last night....how could she....does anyone know about this......finally Megan is going on a date!!!!!

Well, you got that right...I did go on a date last night, and YES IT WAS WITH MY SON!!!!

Sorry to confuse everyone, but I felt a little honory-(I can't spell-sounds like on-rie) this morning and decided to post this. It amazes me how rumors can get started and what can get turned around. Anyways, we will see where this little bitty post takes us.

I promised Brax yesterday that we were going to do something special last night. We haven't really gone anywhere since surgery, because I was afraid he would hurt his hands, but we knew he was getting his bandages off the next day, so why not; let's go and have good time.

He said "mommy we go to yucky (chucky) cheese please and I ride the horse". I told him "We sure can buddy, just me and you.....we are going on a date"! Braxton was so excited he was jumping up and down and couldn't wait. "Mommy and Backtin (how he says his name) go on date to Yucky Cheese" I was getting everything ready to leave, and Brax said "I need to go brush my hair". I was thinking ok...go brush your hair and lets go. Anyways, he was taking forever....I walked into his bathroom (still brushing his hair) and he said "mommy do I wook (look) handsome"? I can't believe my 2 year old was saying this stuff and it was cracking me up. "Yes honey, you look very handsome, now let's go" Braxton opened the door for me and said "mommy I get door for you". Wow, watch out girls.....this little boy is going to be a very nice gentleman when he is old enough to date (tear, I don't even want to think about those days).

Here 's to our chucky cheese night....

All I wanted was a cute picture of the two of us

Well, $15 later just on tokens....we counted up our huge assortment of tickets....they all added up to 63!!!!

You wanna guess what that got him-Yes we have all been to chucky cheese and you know you have to spend over a $100 to get something decent. Well, that 63 tickets got a piece of candy!!! Whoo-hooo, glad that $15 was spent well.

Then it was off to dinner. I wanted to take him somewhere else, but Geno's Pizza is what he wanted! Oh well, who can pass up Geno's?!?!

Thank you Braxton....I had a blast tonight!

I love you so much!!!!!!!!

Love, Mommy
