He's a little boy with a BIG imagination.

One of the boys' favorite movies is Old Yeller. Brax and Mase pretend they're Travis and Ollis from the movie. Travis gets mad at Ollis for telling lies all the time. Then the Mom tells Travis to leave him alone, he's just a little boy with a big imagination.

After watching SPY KIDS, Braxton made spy clothes.
Braxton had to draw a picture of something fun he can do in the winter for school. He wrote, "Play sno foot ball."
A random picture Braxton drew of a cop and a bad guy in jail.

Reslles. Bevr vs. Malbesnt. Beaver and Mount Pleasant. But he usually calls Mt. Pleasant Mountain Pleasant. I love the B YES and M NO at the top of the page:)
Homework: Can I have a (fill in the blank) Mom? Terex Mostr.


On Valentines Day, Braxton was with me at the store when I bought sparkling cider. He said, "Mom!! Are you buying alcohol?!"

A few weeks ago Braxton and Mason went with me to my Grandma Bradshaws. While we were there she told us to take some hamburger home. The boys helped me put it in a cooler and then we went upstairs to say bye to Grandma.

Grandma: "Did you get some hamburger?"

Me: "Yeah we did, thank you."

Grandma: "Braxton, Mason, do you know where that hamburger came from? We had a calf who broke his leg, so we had to put him down and make him into hamburger."

Braxton: "Ohhh! Did he have hydrophobie?!?!" (Hydrophobia-rabies. He learned about it on Old Yeller.)

Grandma: "No he didn't have hydrophobie!! He was a healthy calf!! We didn't leave him dead long enough for him to get sick.

Braxton: "Well, when they start slobberin' and spittin', you know for sure."

Grandma: "No, he was healthy!! When people break their legs, we go to the doctor and they help us get better. But when a calf breaks its leg, he won't use it anymore and he gets sick. That's why we had to put him down. But he didn't have hydrophobie."

Braxton: "If an animal bites you, you'll get sick too. A man had the hydrophobie. He had to tie himself to a tree for fear he'd go plum mad. And he died there too."

Grandma: "What?!"

Then I had to explain to Grandma that Braxton had been watching Old Yeller , and he didn't even know what hydrophobia was.
This conversation was hilarious!! Grandma couldn't understand why Braxton would think their calf had rabies. And Brax just wanted to keep talking about hydrophobie!!
