A party for a PRINCE

This week leading up to Braylon's 1st birthday has been jammed packed.

Wednesday night kicked off the weekend when we welcomed Brooke, Chad, and Baby Powell to the Valley of the Sun. It was so great to see them (all) It was a day to remember as Brooke and Chad had their ultrasound just minutes before jumping on the Phoenix-bound Plane. We are excited to announce that they will be welcoming a baby GIRL in mid October. We can't wait. I will have yet another niece to spoil and snuggle. We had a blast while Brooke and Chad were in town and we are so looking forward to seeing them again this fall to help celebrate their "new addition".


On Thursday we watched our baby nephew Darius (who is now 14 years old...*tear) get promoted to HIGHSCHOOL. He said "goodbye" to middle school and will enjoy one last summer before joinging the "semi-real world". When I met David, Darius was just 4 years old. I can't belive that he not only graduating from the 8th grade, but also towering over me in height. One word to say to that...*tear



On Friday, we celebrated Mom and her "59th" year on this earth by a tasty mexican lunch. She didn't want to really "celebrate" this year. She kept telling me "Bon, it's just another day". I let it slide this year, after all...next year is the BIG 60!!! We will be going all out for that celebration, rather she likes it.or not. Later that evening, we went out to celebrate the birthday of my dear friend and neighbor, Molly. Our boys are very close in age, and we have a blast together. So blessed that God gave us such sweet people around us.

The next mornning you would have found us getting the house and back yard ready for a Frog Prince party for Braylon's special day. Braylon was welcomed by over 2 dozen family and friends, lots of yummy food, a beautiful dessert buffet filled with candy, cupcakes, and cake pops. Braylon enjoyed eating a ton of cake from his "smash cake" of course AFTER mommy removed all the icing. Hmmm, another "trait" of mine that he has taken on.

Bray received some amazing gifts, including adorable clothes and fun toys. Thank you to everyone who made this prince's day so special. It was truly one of the best days of our lives and we look foward to many more to come.
