Last Week in Texas

Our Last Adventure to the Beach. This man had caught a little shark, we had to check it out.






Our time in Texas was fun, yet short!

Our Trip Home!

Our trip home has been eventful. We sent Tanner off on his mission to London, we're so proud of him! We blessed Braylee, finally! We were so happy to finally be able to do this and it was fun having so much family there. We visited my dad in the hospital after a surprise emergency trip. We're so grateful he's okay! We went to the zoo, Braxton absolutely loved it. He ran from animal to animal, we were through the entire zoo in an hour. It was fast! So we're having so much fun being here with our family, but we're missing Brandon tons. We're grateful to him for all his hard work back in Texas while we're here in Idaho. Love you Babe! One more week and we'll be leaving for Reno for a month. A new adventure we're looking forward too, kind of.....

Braylee is the happiest baby. She is constantly smiling. It is so cute! She's so sweet, we just love this little girl!
I went to find Braxton and this is how I found him. I had to take a picture it was too funny!
Cute kids at the zoo! Braxton has loved being back with Tate and Kenley, he's having so much fun with them.

The Splash Pad

This is how I found Braxton when I turned around from the stove today. Funny little man, he was just chillin. It was almost nap time and he looked like that swing was going to put him to sleep.
While standing under this Braxton told me "Mom look, I'm taking a shower."
I told Braxton to smile for me and this is what I got! Hmmm we might have to work on that.
Braylee hanging out in her stroller at the splash pad.
We went to the splash pad with my friend Gentri and her son Bentley, who is the same age as Brax, so it's perfect. The boys loved it and it was a lot of fun.
Braxton actually surprised me and ran through everything, with a smile on his face. Sometimes getting this kid into the water can be a chore, but he loved it.

Snack time
Bentley and Brax hanging out on the "tall building" or the little brick wall that Brax called a tall building. He told me "I'm climbing the tall building mom." Oh the imagination of a two year old.


Braxton and Bentley playing on the playground equipment.

We Love Bedtime!

We haven't been up to too much lately, and if we have I haven't taken any pictures. So here's some pictures for Grandma (she wanted to see how Braylee has changed), nothing too exciting, we're just getting ready for bed. Braxton's favorite thing to do once he escapes from getting his pajamas on.... jump on the bed.
Not sure what he's doing here? I told him to smile for Grandma and this is what I got!
Braylee hanging out in her pj's. Brax had to get in on the camera action.

Brandon's Birthday & the 4th of July!

We have had so much fun this past week. Friday was Brandon's birthday To celebrate we went to lunch at a churrascaria (thanks Bree & James for keeping Braxton) and went to dinner that night with some friends.

The picture below is the kids standing in front of the lobster tank. The one above is them looking at a lobster. The waitress saw how much they were loving them so she pulled one out for us to look at, they really loved that!
On Friday, Bree and I decided to check out a local parade. We almost missed it when we got stuck at a stop light with the parade going on in front of us. I told Braxton to watch it out his window, I don't think he thought that was too great. However, further down the road it hadn't reached yet so got out and saw the entire parade. Afterwards they had games and activities the kids could enjoy, Braxton and Avri loved the bounce house.


Braylee at the parade. She enjoyed everything but the fire trucks and their loud noises that made her cry! Braxton watching in anticipation for the parade coming down the road.



On Sunday we went to a local fire works show it was lots of fun, but just didn't compare to the I.F. fireworks.
Braylee slept through the whole thing.
Braxton was so excited to ride on this cute little train, he was jumping up and down clapping. It was so cute!
