This past week Braxton turned the big
15!! Where has the time gone? I really can't believe he is so old. Our little family of 4 has started some birthday traditions that we do for all of our birthdays. First, the birthday person gets to pick where our family goes to dinner. Braxton picked Iggy's and of course, had to bring a friend. The San Diego Chargers were playing, if you know Braxton you know he is a
HUGE Chargers fan. Braxton and Ryan both wore Chargers' jerseys and we got a booth right in front of the TV to watch the game. All night the servers were handing out raffle tickets for a drawing that would be held at half-time. We started out with a few, but as people kept leaving they would give the boys their tickets. By half-time we had about 30 tickets. A man came out to do the drawing, there were 2 prizes, a jersey and a helmet. However, since there were so many tickets the guy pulled the first ticket and said it would only be for a free dessert or appetizer. Braxton
WON!! 
I always decorate my kids' doors for their birthdays and a few years ago they started decorating ours on Derek's and my birthday. McKell helped with Braxton's and she had the great idea of putting on
15 frogs and numbering them all. She is so creative!! Braxton got so many great gifts and phone calls - thanks so much to everyone. It means so much to him as well as me.
It also happened to be Homecoming Week at the high school and Braxton was in the Homecoming Parade with the football team on his
birthday. We went to watch and had so much fun. He is loving high school and getting so involved which is great. He was gone every night last week to either the movie on the lawn, the powderpuff game, his game, or a party. I commented on how he was gone all week and his answer, "Mom, it is homecoming week, the biggest week of high school!" I still don't know if I am ready for this teenage thing!!
