Happy New Year!!!

We ran away for a New Year celebration and went ice skating, to a movie, and the Festival of Lights. Braylea and Traxton love Alvin and the Chipmunks. When we went to see them there were some statues of the Chipmunks. Traxton was so mesmerized that he could not look away. What a fun day!

Sleigh Ride

It's Christmas!!!

T'was the night before...

and then...it was Christmas morning.

Dear Santa,

Please bring me a racoon trap and a racoon... Love, Braylea

Please bring me a bike... Love, Traxton

....Traxton was not so sure about Santa.

Happy Birthday Traxton!

Our little man loves...scooters, trucks, and things that make noise!

Happy Halloween 2009

Braylea at the "Drive-In" Movie

The primary had a drive in movie... Braylea loved it. She loved making her car and sitting in it for the movie.

Airplane Ride

We went to Price Air Port jumped in an itty bitty plane and away we went. What a fun day!

Braylea loves planes. See had he eyes glued to the window looking at all of the little things below. Our little Traxton fell asleep about 15 minutes into the ride. Dad flew the plane... it was so much fun.

2009 Halloween Pumpkins

Halloween 2009

Halloween Cakes for the cake contest at the carnival. Braylea wanted to make Frankenstein and His Bride ... coincidentally this is what Gil and Melody are for Halloween. She wanted to make sure that we made the green frosting just right. It had to be the same green as grandpa's costume. She won the cake contest last year, now she thinks it is a great tradition to make Halloween cakes. Good Luck Braylea!

Summer Packing Trip

Garrett took me on a overnight packing trip. All I could fit in my saddle bag was a clean shirt, my tooth brush, some toilet paper, my coat, and chap-stick. I have never had to pack so light in all my life. We had such a fun time. I was a little scared, but we made it home alive. I would definitely do it again. 

Happy Birthday Braylea

Braylea wanted to go swimming for her birthday! We always have so much fun at the pool. She had a Dalmatian birthday. She is getting so big. Fun fun fun!

Happy Birthday Garrett!

I am very late getting all of these pix uploaded, but late is my middle name (at least it should be!).

....What a fun police car cake!

Sheerwood Resort

Over fall break we took a little road trip to Idaho to pick up Traxton's new dog Max. He is a hound dog. We stayed in Wellsville, Utah at the Sheerwood's Hills Resort. It was so much fun and the kids loved it. Braylea and Traxton had to get their picture taken with the bear. Traxton was to afraid to touch the bear, but Braylea wanted to hold its hand. She is so brave! 

 

Nice Deer Garrett!

Garrett had a blast hunting on his ranch in 9-mile this fall... He could not pass up this monster deer while hunting with Traxton. Good job boys!

Antelope Hunt

All about the hunt...We started out opening day (September 12) seeing a lot of bucks. I let some really nice ones go, but when we found the right one...we stocked him down. With the help of my guide and brother Lance I got a great goat! Thanks to everyone for all of their help. Special thanks to Lance Scoggins and Wade Lemmon! Thanks dad for letting me make the first kill with your new gun. Thanks Garrett, Gil, Dad, Julie and Derri for spotting for us while we stalked. What a great hunt!

Summer Fun!

We ran away to Midway, Utah for a little summer get away!

We stayed at the Zermatt Resort... got a message... had a yummy dutch oven dinner at a near by campground... went on a little hike... shopping.... fun!!!

Traxton decided to take a little nap so Braylea and I decided to make some zucchini cupcakes. They were yummy! 

Chucky Cheese!

Braylea and Traxton riding Traxton's favorite ride at Chucky Cheese!

Braylea gets her ears pierced...

Braylea has been such a big girl this summer and she earned a surprise of her choice when she filled up her sticker chart for sleeping in her own bed. She wanted to get her ears pierced and get purple earrings like her cousin Brooklyn. She was so excited!

T-Ball Summer 2009

Braylea was on "Team Yellow" for T-Ball this summer. She is such a great little player. She can hit the ball off of a coach pitch and field the ball pretty well. She had so much fun!

Braylea is growing... growing!

Braylea finished up her first year of PreSchool and she is so excited for summer. 

She is getting so big! We have a lot of fun things planned for summer. 

The other day she took a juice box out of the fridge and informed me that she was going to drink her juice and enjoy her self. After telling he to have fun I almost fell over laughing. Where does she learn this stuff? PreSchool?
