Hanging Out With Daddy

Jeremy was hanging out with Braxton when I heard him say "Lauren, get the camera." When I heard that I just knew that it was going to be a good photo opp (and it was).

Braxton's Revenge

So how did Braxton get back at Bee Bee for locking him in the car?
He pooped all over her!

I was finishing up shopping at Kohl's and my mom and Braxton were taking a little break. Braxton had been a little fussy about 30 minutes before so they decided to go sit down. When a nice couple stopped by to admire how cute Braxton was (and who can blame them) they said something to my mom about how cute his baseball outfit was and my mom lifted to show them how he had a baseball on his butt. Well, when she did that let's just say that the baseball looked like it had some "dirt" on it because it was no longer a white baseball.

We had to go into the bathroom at Kohl's and practically give Braxton a bath in the sink in order to get all of the "dirt" off of him.





I didn't have to buy my mom a new pair of jeans, but the shopping trip did end right then and there.

Pop Quiz Time

What's Wrong With This Picture?
A)Braxton is sleeping on his stomach
B)Braxton is sleeping with a stuff animal
C)Braxton is sleeping with a blanket
D)All of the above

The correct answer... is E) None of the above because all that matters is the fact that he is sleeping!

Bonus cuteness:

Tomato Festival and 5K

The reason why we left Murray on Thursday was because on Friday Braxton and I were scheduled to volunteer at the YMCA in East Nashville. We were volunteering there for race preparations for the Tomato Festival 5K. Then on Saturday morning Jeremy, Braxton and I all went to the Festival. I was just going to walk in the 5K race, but on Friday afternoon I was asked if I could dress up in our company's camel costume to help start the race. Camel costume?! Yes, that is what I said. cj Advertising's mascot is the camel and Camels With A Cause was the race sponsor for the 5K.

Hello, Goodbye

We took Braxton into Owensboro on Saturday to meet the Goetz side of the family. (Yes Braxton, this is the side of the family that will cause you to be in therapy later in life.) The reason for the get together was for everyone to say hello to Braxton and goodbye to all of the people going off to college; Jessica is going off to UK, Matthew is going off to UofL and Kevin is going off to Bellarmine. It was a really nice time to be with family! Thanks Aunt Beth for making it happen!

While in Owensboro we also stopped by to see Natalie and Matt. They were introduced to Braxton as well. Matt, thanks for taking a break from studying for the CPA exam to socialize with us. :)

Our Staycation

Since the pediatrician nixed the idea of flying anywhere with Baby B we decided to have a staycation. Little did we know that our staycation wouldn't consist of staying anywhere for to long.

I'm kinda glad that the doc said we shouldn't fly, because packing the car was enough of an adventure.
Here is what our Trailblazer looked like when it was just Jeremy, myself and Bruiser traveling.

And now here is what the Trailblazer looks like with Jeremy, myself, Bruiser and Baby B in tow.


After we stayed in Columbia for the weekend it was back to La Vergne for a day. Actually, I don't think that we were home for a full 24 hours before we left for Murray, Ky. We stayed there until Thursday night. While in Murray Jeremy played golf everyday and I visited with friends. On Tuesday night I even volunteered at The Angels Clinic while my mom was working there.

The BIG 8-2!

Grandma/Great Grandma celebrated her 82nd Birthday on August 3rd, but we celebrated it the day before. What did we get Braxton's Great Grandma for a gift? We got her the best gift of all...pictures of Braxton of course!
