I started babysitting some of the cutest kiddos ever (aside from mine of course) Shelby and Max! They have so much fun together!

 Braxton got this aweful burn from the treadmill! No one quite knows what happened but man, it was painful!!!

 Braxton turned 2! I cant believe it! he is such a cute kids! Full of energy and curiosity! He talks pretty well and is now sleeping in a big boy bed. He love to eat just about everything and gets into EVERYTHING! We call if taz due to the path of distruction he leaves wherever he goes!
