 The party guests!

Here are some of my first spoils from my garden!!

Life is good!!

Brandon's Birthday!!

We had a little party for Brandon's birthday I saw this picture of this cake on pinterest and just had to make it! so I made it and it's SO DELICIOUS! and invited some of our neighbors over and had a little party! Thanks guys for celebrating with us! Braxton's shirt is just too cute it says "my dad can arrest your dad" ha ha! Love it!!

Happy Birthday love! I love you so much!! I am getting him a new wedding ring for his birthday! Since his old one no longer fits him since his weight loss!

ONE MONTH!!

Our sweet baby boy is ONE month already!!

 super crazy!! I wish time would slow down a bit!  

He now weighs 10 pounds 4 ounces

 and is 21 inches long 

 What a stud!!

 Here is another cute picture of him on his bean bag! and His super cute outfit!

 So my family had a family reunion a week after Braxton was born so we didn't make it to the Reunion. But these are the shirts. My sister requested that we take a picture wearing them so 

they can photoshop us in the family picture.

 Braxton is number 27 grandchild on my side of the family. Our shirts have #8 on them. 

 Brandon decided we needed to go up and hang out on the mountain. So we packed a lunch and headed up. We stopped at Snow flates and we had our own private lake and spring that had just sprung like maybe 5 min before we arrived. It was gorgeous and cold! I really didn't dress for that and neither did Braxton so we kept him bundled and added a few onsies on him.

 Our cute family photo. . .  minus Keisha. ;) It was such a fun trip and we are for sure going to explore the mountain more!

Happy 3 years!

 We have been married for 3 years now and it 

has been the BEST three years of my life! I love all the fun adventures that we have been on and are going to go on. This year for our anniversary we  were apart. Brandon was working and I was in Mesa. So I sent Brandon a candy basket. It would have been flowers but my dad talked me out of that. (Brandon you need to thank my dad for that) and Brandon sent me Gorgeous flowers! We celebrated our anniversary the next week and went to Cheese Cake Factory!! YUMMY!! He also is going to give me Lasix eye surgery!! That was my present so when I am done breastfeeding we are going to get my eyes fixed!! THANKS LOVE! I was 38 weeks here.

Best RED VELVET cheesecake ever!!

And this is what happened to my Garden while I was in Mesa. . .  Yes it is all very green but pretty much ALL weeds. You can see what is left of my sunflower and tomato plants are in the back.

But Before it turned in to that we got these!

I think it looks like the guys nose off of "Despicable Me"

And after deweeding my garden we found 2 watermelons!

I love you Brandon! Thank you for being the BEST husband and Father! Seriously when I came home the whole house was clean and baby room ready! And he has been such a great help with Braxton!  I love you!

Braxton Alton Grissom

Braxton Alton Grissom 

was born 8/12/12 ( what a cool birth date)! He was 7 pounds 11 ounces 20 inches long and born at 3:56 AM! and we have been OBSESSED with him ever since! Seriously he is the cutest kid! And that is why you get this huge picture overload!! 

ENJOY!

This is right after he was born!

 All bundled up at the hospital just perfect as ever!

 His first ride in the car to Grandma Treat's house.

 First time home in Safford.

 Keisha wasn't too interested in him.

 But she has gotten better.

 Braxton having one of his "angel dreams" 

and check out what is going on in the corner ha ha.

All dressed up just because we can!

 Some times I think I am a photographer. 

But some of them turned out pretty good!

 Hanging out with  his mama!

 Braxton was blessed September 2, 

when he was 3 weeks old! 

 He's so cute!

 Seriously the cutest kid ever! and he is such a good baby!

He is currently 4 weeks old! We are so blessed to have this sweet baby boy in our lives and are so thankful for him.  

And in other news I got a new calling 1st counselor in Young Women's and I am so excited! And today was my first time going to church with just me and Braxton. We made it about 45 minutes into Sacrament wide awake the whole time and making noises and then he got too restless, and proceeded to chuck all over him and on my dress, so we spent the rest of the meeting in the foyer where Braxton then decided to fall asleep. The rest of the meetings went smoothly. I decided that he is just a noisy baby he is always cooing and just making noise to make noise. So This should be interesting.

35 Weeks

I am 35 weeks here! The pictures are all done in the Gila Valley area. We had so much fun! Thanks again!

Yeah Check out those sunglass lines!! 

I just LOVE this guy!!  

So the Saturday after these were taken I started having back pain which ended up being contractions (like 1-2 min apart, contractions) I went in to the hospital and the Dr. said "No more working" and to "take it easy" and to drink LOTS of water among other things.  So we got the contractions under control, and baby Grissom is fine. But Brandon and I both decided instead of getting a helicopter ride to Tucson ( the exact opposite direction that I want to be going) that I come to Mesa, where my Dr is. So I have been taking it easy at my parents house. I will be making a day trip home for my baby shower, but other then that I am here until this baby comes!! And we can't be more excited to meet this little guy!

April FUN!

A group of friends all had work off and we planned a spur of the moment river trip in Pima! It was so much fun! Here is Brandon and Jacob. . .  yeah you can probably guess they got stuck a couple of times! 

We had so much fun and can't wait to do it again! 

I bought this for me for Christmas, and yes this is my first time getting it out. I have always wanted to learn how to sew things. With Pinterest around it has inspired me to learn! Can't wait to see what things I can make! These are my first stitches with my sewing machine!!

 

 Check out this nasty couch!! Some one slept here as a bed before Brandon and I got married, and it has  
always been gross to me. Thankfully Pinterest came around and I found a way to clean it! Here is the before and after! For directions go Here .

 

We decided to do a garden. And by "we" I mean me. And then Brandon just makes it happen! He built me this AMAZING fence!! And then I painted it! The garden is still new, and was planted in March.  I have lettuce, cucumbers, sweat peas, yellow squash, onions, okra, a sunflower, and tomatoes. It has been a learning process, and I have loved seeing things actually grow!

 My tomatoes are the best looking things out there!

 I have found an unwanted visitor snacking on my lettuce. He was quickly kicked out! Hopefully my lettuce wont have any other visitors!

My SWEAT PEAS finally are growing!!!

 I planted them back in January.... apparently the weather here is a little different then the valley. But hey better late then never!! They are so beautiful and smell so yummy!!!! 

And check out that grass!! Way to Hubby!!

And here we are 

27 WEEKS

This little guy is a kicker!! and it is my new favorite thing to do is just watch him move my stomach, and randomly say in conversation "wow that was big kick!"
