Braxtyn's 1

Our sweet baby girl is 1...
This past year has gone by quite fast.
All last week and this week
my mind races back 1 year ago...
So much happened...
And happened quickly...
I keep thinking...ok, did I enjoy it...Do I remember everything?
Honestly..Picking her up is kind of a blurr mixed with fear from her short
hospital stay, mixed with excitement just to get home!
From day 9 (when we got her)
her personality hasn't changed much!
Braxtyn is very determined to get what she wants.
She is a little spit fire I say.
She wants everything her brother has and has to know
what is going on ALL the time.
Nathan calls her "hip" because that is where she wants to be 24/7
She is sassy but sweet...
 Rough but cuddly
She hasn't slept through the night since December :)
Yes LONG LONG restless nights! (I think of you dear cousin Ang)
(Thank you to my sweet mother who steals her whenever she can so I can get a full nights sleep!)
But all in all, I cant imagine my life without her!
She brings us so much joy!
We are soooo in Love!
I say this all the time, but I am TRULY blessed!
Jermaine and Braxtyn are the best gifts God has given us!
Yes, Nathan and I are SO into our children
because they are everything we have ever wanted!

So last Sunday, May 13th, Mothers Day.
We celebrated Jermaine and Braxtyn's Birthday with
the extended family!
It was so much fun! Such beautiful weather!
(As I was looking through these pictures I noticed she wasn't smiling in
most of them...that is her, She is so happy and smiles most of the time,
but when you throw in 30 faces she doesn't see everyday she gets shy!!)









Braxtyn's beautiful Aunties and Yaya!

Thank you again Yaya and Paka for my adorable
lawn chair!

Time for a dip in the pool in her new swimsuit from
Auntie Leisha and Uncle Lukey
Braxtyn LOVES water! When in doubt...give her a bath
or take her outside!


Jermaine and Sawyer

Braxtyn loves her Grandma!

Giving Great Grandma Zoerink Hugs!


Playing with Sweet Kennedy!

Jermaine got his first remote "monster truck"
he calls it!

Thank you again everyone for coming!
It was a very special day for us!
xoxo

Missed you DeBoers and Rondaels!
And ALL my Pennsylvania Family
