Happy 1st Birthday Braden

On October 1, 2010, Braden turned ONE!!! We celebrated with a "Lil' Quarterback" themed party at our home. We had a great time playing outside, eating BBQ and opening presents. We are so thankful for all of our famliy and friends that came to celebrate with us. Braden is such a little blessing in our life. He is the happiest baby and loves to play. Our prayers are that this little guy will grow up to know and love the Lord. Happy FIRST Birthday, Braden! We love you!!!

Beach 2010

We just returned from two weeks at the beach. We had a great time! The first week we spent with Granna & G-daddy Greg in Orange Beach and the second week we were in Destin with Mimi and GaGa. The kids had a great time and enjoyed playing in the water and sand. Here are just a few pics from our trip...enjoy!

We hope that you are all doing well! I have not been very good keeping up with the Blog lately. I am going to try and do better...we will see : ) Have a great week!

Easter Pictures

Once again, I have fallen way behind in my blogging. Life with two little boys is just busy! There is no other excuse than I just do not have time. Hopefully, I will do better and keep you up to date a little better : ) I took the boys to have their Easter pictures made in Cedartown two weeks ago. There was a live lamb and rabbit available for the pics. Brock talked about it for days but when we got there it was a different story. He was so scared that he had to have his pic made with the fake bunny. Braden did pretty good. He just does not know that he is supposed to smile for the camera yet. Oh well...here are some pics from the day. I hope that you all have a very blessed Easter!!!

It's been a while...

Sorry that it has been so long since I have updated the Blog. With a 3 year old and 3 month old, I really do not have time for anything : ) I would not trade this time for anything in the world so things like updating the blog, reading, etc. are just not in the daily agenda. Many things have happened since I last update in November. Braden is growing like a weed (already over 17 pounds), we celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas, we had Brock's 3rd Birthday party and many things in between. I will try to post pictures of these things in the new few posts. There is no way that I can upload all pics to the blog but if you are on Facebook and are not my friend then send me a friend request. I usually upload lots of pics to that. I hope that you are all doing well and having a wonderful 2010 so far.

Happy Halloween

Brock and Braden were both little Monkeys for Halloween this year. The weather was rainy so we really did not get to do much trick or treating however we got to visit family & friends in Cedartown for the day. We hope that you had a great Halloween!

Hospital Visitors

Braden had lots of visitors while at the hospital. We were there from Thursday to Sunday so our family & friends came to see him for the first time. Thanks to everyone who came to see our new little addition. We are thankful for all of you!

Braden James Slocumb

Braden James joined us on Thursday, October 1, 2009. He was born at 12:30 p.m. at Kennestone Hospital. He was 10 pounds and 21.7 inches long. He is such a little blessing and we are very excited that he is here!

Blessing

Brad and I have been trying to teach Brock to say the blessing every time that we sit down to eat. He is really good about it however in his little mind he thinks that we are saying it because our food is hot. We have to work on that : ) If his food is not hot then he says that we do not need to say it. If his food is hot then he will say "blessing". This morning he was having pancakes for breakfast and he wanted to say his blessing. This is what he said "God is good all the time, Bye". I thought that was too funny! Instead of Amen, he said Bye. : )

Since we are talking about blessings, our newest little blessing Braden will be here soon. Two weeks until the due date so hopefully we will meet him soon. We are so excited!

Busy Bee

Yesterday Brock started his second year at the Early Learning Center at First Baptist Douglasville. He goes two days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am till noon. This year he is in the Busy Bee class (older 2 year olds). He had a great first day and he is already asking to go back to school. I am so glad that he likes it. It gives him the opportunity to play with other children while also learning. Here is a picture from his first day on the playground.
