Work EOY
Yuck, I'm stuck at work doing End of Year. For those of you who don't know, my husband and I own a building supply/ hardware store, and I do all of our accounting and bookwork. Since I have been out with the baby and also with Brayden being out of school over the holidays, I'm a little behind. And I'm trying to get everything posted by the end of work today. UGH! Not to mention the fact that I have this little thing called sleep deprivation (aka a newborn baby!) these days...

Christmas celebrations, part 1
Wow, I have been MIA for a while. It seems like I've barely posted anything besides pictures since Trace was born. My brain seems unable to form complete sentences these days, haha. So Christmas was wonderful...a little frenzied at times, but wonderful nonetheless. Jeffry and I opened our gifts to each other on Christmas Eve eve. I had already given him a big surprise of a new tool box for his truck, but that night he opened a sweet wall photo frame for our bedroom, a new jacket, toiletry bag, new Luckys, a vest, and some BluRay DVDs. Little did he know, there would be more in store the next day!
He got me lots of new PJ's and things from Victoria's Secret, a fancy diamond bracelet that I adore!, some North Face clothes, a Message Bible that's purple and white, and a new North Face jacket with my 4 karat diamond hoops hiding in the pocket!! He's so good! He totally picked the earrings out himself; I love my sweet hubby!
Christmas Eve morning we woke up and had breakfast with the boys. Then we got ready and headed to Lucedale to celebrate at his parents with his brother and his girlfriend, grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins. Lunch was yummy; we did a seafood fest this year! We had fried shrimp and oysters, crab au gratin, and delicious gumbo. With his extended family we draw names, and Danielle (his brother's girlfriend) got me this awesome painting I wanted for our bedroom at the new house! I was so excited. I actually drew her name too, ha. Jeffry got a new fireplace tool set for the new house, and also a sling for his gun. The boys racked up with way too many toys! After the cousins left, we opened gifts with Jeffry's parents. I got new Chanel makeup (YAY!), a new wallet, a USM frame with family photo inside, and a fancy edition of Scrabble. His parents gave us some awesome black rockers for the new house, and a Wii!! So now we are addicted and playing every night...and I want a Wii Fit!

A few more pictures
Words can't express how thankful I am for these precious boys and my wonderful husband!
He's finally here!
Trace David Peters made his debut on November 21, 2008 at 10:29am. He weighed 8 pounds 6 ounces and was 20 inches long. It was a quick and relatively easy delivery! We are so blessed to have this precious little boy in our lives. Brayden and Caleb love him already; they enjoy holding him. We are especially thankful this year as we celebrate this new life. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!
Caleb loves babies so much! He finally has his own!!
Brayden meeting Trace for the first time!
My sweet baby! It's amazing how you can love them so much from the very beginning.
He's a miracle!

Reading Fair
Brayden had to do a board for the reading fair at school and also for a class grade. We worked on it for several days; he did 98% of the work. He ended up winning 1st place for Kindergarten at his school, which is out of about 80 students! His board went on to the Regional reading fair, where he placed 2nd for Kindergarten out of 5 other schools. I cannot tell you how proud I was! Monday night we went to Hattiesburg to attend the Forrest County school board meeting where he and other winners were awarded with their ribbons and certificates. I think activities like this are so important in shaping a child's view of school. It CAN be fun and rewarding! I pray that this jumpstarts Brayden's excitement about school!

So proud of his 2nd place ribbon!!
