Out on the Farm

Fun Family Time

We had the chance to spend time with the Cooper fam, while Aub and Josh were here and we had lots of fun! We went to the cabin, to West Yellowston, and went swimming. Here are a few pics of our adventures!Grandma and Grandpa with Braxton and Lexi.

Braxton loved this car. It was hooked to the wall in this restaurant and he loved sitting in it.

Griffeths and Cooper Families

So we went swimming and it was Braxtons first time ever!! I know lame for people who's clubhouse has a pool and could go anytime, but he's never been. Anyway to say the least he was scared to death. Brandon jumped in with him and the water was pretty cold. I guess it shocked him, because he started screaming and would not get back in the water. He held on to who ever was holding him like it was life or death. Poor little guy, needless to say we need to go to the pool this summer.

Growing up too fast!

This post is mostly just for my memory of what Braxton's doing. Braxton found the stairs a month ago and he just loves them. He knows he's not supposed to climb them however, but any chance he gets that the gate's not up he runs for them. He thinks it's really funny.

This morning while I was preparing Braxton's bath and laying out a towel for him I heard this crash behind me so I look in the mirror and Braxton's bailed over the side of the tub and fallen into the water. It didn't have too much water in it so that was good, but he still managed to drench himself in his clothes and diaper! He's barely 10 months, so I wasn't prepared for him to go throwing himself into the bath, not yet anyway!

A little later while I was looking on the computer, Braxton was sitting in my lap. He like any little kid is grabbing everything he can as fast as he can, and like any mom I'm trying to get ahead of him and move everything out of his reach. I'm apparently too slow however, as he throws a glass off the desk onto the floor and glass flies everywhere. I just had to laugh, because I'm afraid it's just the first of many. Besides we made it ten months without a broken glass that's pretty good right!??

Braxton just started saying uh oh, and it is so cute! He also can stand by himself for just a up to 10 seconds before he falls, so I don't think it will be too long before he starts walking. I just love experiencing all of these new milestones, although I wish it would slow down a bit, he's growing up too fast!

Long Cold Days

I had to take a picture of this it was just too cute. I came downstairs to find Brandon and Braxton watching a movie on the computer, and they were both so in to it, it made me laugh. This kid is too much like his dad.

Braxton and I are so so ready for summer. Last week sometime when it was snowing and it was so pretty outside, Braxton just wanted to keep looking out the windows. However, most of my low windows are blocked by my armoire, so I had to stand there holding him forever. So I decided to move one part of the furniture so he could sit on a chair and look out. He loved it and it was so cute how excited he got to just be able to look outside. He's going to love being outside this summer. I sure hope it's a warm one.

Our Trip to Florida

Brandon and I recently went to Florida with most of Brandon's family. We had a great time although we missed Braxton terribly!!

Braxton's Pictures

Here are a few pictures of Braxton, okay more than a few, but I couldn't decide which were my favorite. Don't mind the naked shots, I think they're cute, but Brandon and Grandpa Simmons aren't huge fans. Please help me choose, let me know which are your favorites. Thanks!
