Camping

Our last camping trip of the summer, oh wait it was the only one!! We love Louis Lake!!

Almost caught up

The first picture is a finer time with our boys, they are sitting at daddy's old work bench playing with tools and such that have been left lying there.  No fighting during this time which is an amazing feat.  Then the rest of these are pics I took with the boys playing with the sprinkler Aunt Dar and Uncle Joel, Lindsey and Brittney gave Braxton for his birthday.  They enjoy it during the hottest part of the day under the trees.  Wonderful way to keep them occupied and I can work.  :-)

Continuing the update

Cody conv came and went, seems so long ago already as did Braxton's birthday.  Our boys were so handsome all dressed up with ties.  We came home and gave Braxton his birthday present, his very own bike.  At first he really struggled with the peddling, but has since gotten it down pat and really enjoys it.  The barnyard is paved so its their favorite place to ride.  I like it because it is fully enclosed and they are completely out of view of the road.  We came back home to a fire in the mountains too however, and that made for some beautiful sunsets but some really lousy smelling evenings and days. 

Update is badly needed!!

It has been so very long since I actually got on here to add info and photos.  We have done some fun things this summer so far.  We went on a picnic above Lander and the tractor show in Shoshoni.  The boys spent most of the day on the peddle tractors that day, its a good thing they had so many and we didn't need to share much.

Birthday time has come and gone again.  We shared the cake and party at Sunshine Reservoir.  It was a lot of fun, caught a lot of fish and generally had a great time. 

It has been so long since I have been on the blog that lots of things have changed on here now.  I will get some new pics on here and maybe a new layout too.

Braxton is now 4, seems so hard to believe he is already 4.  We are glad the 3's are gone now tho, they are a hard age to get through.  Perhaps at age 4 we can find our ears and learn to listen, well mama can hope anyway. 

Speech is still coming along really pretty well.  He remains lazy about some of the sounds, but that will come with time.  Overall, having him has been simply amazing and we have enjoyed all the steps along the way.

All stretched out and no where to go.

He certainly has settled in nicely!!

Fun...

Daddy's carharts are great fun, but they are rather big.

Fam pic

Our stab at doing our own family pic, not bad huh

Christmas program

Brayden's Christmas program, he did so good. Braxton got in on a bit of fun with Granny and Papa while watching Brayden.

December 2011

This is what we had going on through most of Dec, Hugo and Astro were such good playmates and they really wore each other and all of us out. Between making sure they got regular potty breaks to throwing balls for them, we were all busy.

Our new pet

Well, I have been trying to update the blog, but the photo loader just won't load more than one img at a time and that really makes it a time waster!! Anyway, in December we got a new pet. Astro came to join our household via a ride with Uncle Bobby. He has adjusted really well to our home and loves the boys. We have to train him to NOT chase the cats and we have gotten him to be a bit better about leaving the cows alone. Of course right now there aren't any cows in the field next to the house so that does help!! Overall we are happy to have another dog in the house. Altho Brayden did come to me after a couple of weeks and he told me he still really misses Foxy, well she has been gone since 2009 so its ok to still miss her some.
