Good News & Braxton

Well, the good news is that Chris gave me permission to get high speed. Just kidding, he really didn't give me permission, but we both agreed it would be a good idea. It'll be so much nicer.

I want to write a little about my Braxton. HOLY COW, that kid is growing so fast. I love watching him grow. I love how we can have conversations together. I love how he gets my jokes, will dance with me in the kitchen, and really wants to help out when he sees that I am stressed. But I want him to stop! He'll be getting the priesthood soon, passing the sacrament, asking girls out, KISSING girls, back talking, driving, going on a mission, getting married....stop growing Braxton!!! He is such an amazing person. He's responsible and genuinely cares about people. It's so fun to watch him coach Calvin on the sidelines of his games. He feels that since he is 2 whole years older, he knows the game much better than his younger counterpart. He entertains our baby and can clean and vacuum a room really well. The thing I love most about Braxton is that he is still so loving. He'll hold my hand even at school. He doesn't care what the other kids say. He insists on a good night kiss and song...and the whole time I'm singing the song, he lies there with his eyes closed and a content smile on his face. He tells me he loves me all the time. In fact he loves saying, "Mom, your a good mom, mom." To which I reply, "son, your a good son, son." Then he tells me I sound like I'm oriental.

I have to tell you this makes me a little sad. My oldest is Drake. He is the same way and today was his 11th b-day. I love him so much and the things you wrote about Braxton are the same way I feel. it suck that we love them so much only for them to grow up and love another.:) fun to see you family. You look amazing btw.
