Job Update!

Brady was offered a job today as an Estimator for a Construction Company in Lewisville Texas, a communtable distance from our home in Collinsville. We feel so blessed that things have worked out so conveniently! We were already planning to move into our house this coming Wednesday and we just learned Brady will fill out paper work next Friday and work out some details and probably begin full time work the following Monday. Over the last month and a half there have been many things that seemed disasterous but in the end were for our benefit. I am so thankful to know that we have a Father in Heaven that loves us and watches out for us. Sometimes we don't understand why things happen or why certain things are not going the way we think they should but if we have faith they all work out in the end and we are able to look back and see the "why." We feel so blessed to have found a job especially in this economy. The Lord knew what kind of job and what kind of company we needed and made sure we were able to wait for that opening :)

I'll post more later, and some pictures of our new adventure in Texas with some old friends and family too!

Blake's Birthday at Grandma and Grandpa Adams!

Blake's 7th Birthday! He wanted a Jet Ski Cake and it was so hard to find Jet Ski toys for this cake so after searching Toys R Us for over an hour we found a coast guard kit with jet skis as a part of it. Overall I really think the cake turned out pretty good :)

Blake... such a big boy now!

Blake and Brandon posing.

Our Ben, this pic really shows his personality!

Happy Birthday to YOU!

Blowing out candles.

He got a super cool transformer from Grandma that is made of many other transformers and talks!

Super Mario for the Wii!

Opening a BIG One!

It's a remote control Monster Truck!!

Brotherly Love

New Watch!

Blake's Class Musical

Ben and Brandon waiting for Blake's program to start, they wanted their pictures taken :)

Blake was the lead Duck and got all the animals together to compete in the County fair for a trampoline.

One groups idea was so boring that duck fell asleep!

He was making a checklist.

Singing

Hopefully the video clip works, it is of one of the songs they performed. It was really a cute little musical and Blake did a great job!

Soccer- Go Mustangs!

Blake had a great time playing soccer this spring and he even scored 3 goals this season!

Blake is #1!

Get that Ball!

Ben wanted to participate so badly that he was constantly trying to run on the field with the a ball, eventually a lady from team brought me her "kid leash." That is what Ben is wearing, it really did help, but I died when Brandon asked if he could "walk" Ben!

Summer Fun

Ben has had quite the personality and lately he wants to wear his cowboy boot with everything... even his swim suit!

The boys all got new haircuts, this was Ben's first.

The boys found a turtle at the apartment complex and "saved" it. We held onto it for a couple days and then let it got in the "forests" near out place.

The boys and their new friend, Ben kept trying to kick it like a ball.

We found a lunar moth, this is not totally in focus but you can see what it is.

This is a better picture, it reminds me of the lunesta commercials.

It was really big this is the moth in Brady's hand!

Changes

There have recently been many changes for the Brazell Family. We moved a couple weeks ago, quite suddenly, to Tulsa Oklahoma from Rexburg Idaho. We had really come to love life in Rexburg and it was not an easy move to make. We drove through all the beautiful mountains and said good bye. Now we are in the land of rolling hills, and many Native American Reservations. We currently reside at the local Best Western while we wait for our apartment to become available. Brady got a job with a company that builds monolithic domes and so we may be moving quite often, but we are up for the adventure and feel very blessed and thankful to have a job in this tough economic time.

Our first day in the hotel, the boys said they were going to be like Zack and Cody from Disney Channel. I thought Oh NO!

Blake at his new school, by the mascot.

Ben in the hallway of our first hotel eating cheese puffs watching his brothers run up and down the hallway.

As close as we get to a nap lately.

This is a picture of a head wound... they are constant lately especially with our current tight quarters he trips over everything and hits chairs, table legs, dressers... you get the picture.

We have a Bass Pro Shop a few miles away so we thought we'd check it out, notice what all my boys found!

One great part about being in Oklahoma is that it is close to Texas and we got to go to may parents house this weekend for a kids fishing tournament at a little pond that they stock by the lake. Blake caught a perch... the pond was stocked with rainbow trout, go figure :)

A Little Catch-Up!

Sooo, I have really neglected the Blog lately so I thought I would publish a few pictures from the last couple months. These are all from my phone because I am too lazy to get out the good camera and see what is on it :) But hey I get most pics from the phone anyway because it is always with me!
