MUD!

2010-10-30T22:11:00.000-07:00

I was doing a little yard work and decided to let the kids water the flowers... well the flowers did get watered, but it was much funner to make a huge mud puddle and play in it.

Where did Traxton go???

2010-10-30T22:09:00.000-07:00

We were all out side playing and a minute went by... Traxton had came up missing. We looked in the shed and could here a little "click, click, hammer, hammer" we followed the sound and found that Traxton was just doing a little fixing on Grandpa Gil's truck. Silly boy! He loves tools and, as you can see, knows how to use them.

2010 Hunting Adventures

Happy New Year!!!

2009-12-31T21:12:00.000-08:00

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!

T'was the night before...

and then...it was Christmas morning.

Dear Santa,

2009-12-27T08:29:00.000-08:00

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!

2009-12-27T08:20:00.000-08:00

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

Happy Halloween 2009

Braylea at the "Drive-In" Movie

2009-12-27T08:06:00.000-08:00

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

Airplane Ride

2009-11-20T07:54:00.001-08:00

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.

2009-10-29T09:15:00.001-07:00

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

2009-10-29T08:46:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-29T08:40:00.001-07:00

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!

2009-10-29T08:29:00.000-07:00

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

2009-10-08T09:36:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-10-08T09:31:00.001-07:00

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

2009-09-13T20:40:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-09-01T14:23:00.000-07:00

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!!!

2009-09-01T14:21:00.000-07:00

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

Chucky Cheese!

2009-08-04T16:40:00.001-07:00

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

Braylea gets her ears pierced...

2009-08-04T16:35:00.000-07:00

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

2009-07-05T07:03:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-05-22T08:21:00.001-07:00

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?

Traxton getting tubes in his ears...

2009-05-22T08:18:00.001-07:00

Traxton had to get tubes put in his ears. Everyone at the Hospital thought he was so cute, sweet, and well behaved. He was such a good little guy and quite a trooper.

I told them he is very cute, very sweet, ... and the well behaved comes and goes :)

We love our little man!

More Bears!

2009-05-22T08:16:00.000-07:00

Bear #2. Nice hunting Garrett!

Lions, Tigers, BEARS! Oh, My!

2009-05-12T14:05:00.000-07:00

Garrett was guiding a bear hunter when they stumbled upon this might beast right behind his families cabin. I am glad they took care of it before we went camping. Yikes!

The hound dogs chased it back to its den, and they were able to get a shot for the hunter. I am sure there was no breaking and entering. The bear probably had a welcome mat out and all. They saw two other bears and are headed back out this weekend to see if they can slay another one. Good luck boys!

Happy Birthday to Heather....

2009-04-21T14:26:00.000-07:00

Dinner at Ruby River! It was super yummy. We had a lot of fun and everyone behaved themselves at the sleep over. ;) haha.

p.s. Thanks Wade for packing Jennie's suit case. I am still laughing over that.

WOW!

2009-04-21T13:24:00.000-07:00

I have found some beautiful surprises at my house the last couple months and I just have to share one because I get so excited! I love surprises! These beautiful flowers were on the table when I came home from work with such a cute note. Thanks Garrett!

Trax on the loose with his wagon...

2009-04-21T13:21:00.001-07:00

Traxton loves wagons. He loves to push them, pull them, get in them, climb out of them, and ride in them. He is such an outdoor boy!

It's that time of year...GOLF!

2009-04-11T12:52:00.000-07:00

This photo was taken of our golf team when we were in the Peach Days Parade in 2008. Team Pink: Jennie, Jamie, and Tiffany (Ann not pictured) broke new ground in their golf careers and are ready to come back strong... ha ha. Well, at least we are ready to come back. We are very excited to start our 2009 golf adventures. Fun in the sun and nice tan lines is about all we acheive, but we love it ;).

Little Farmer

2009-03-19T14:22:00.000-07:00

Traxton loves to help his dad farm. We were working on building corrals and he loves to open and close the gate over and over and over and over.... He worked so hard that as soon as I picked him up and hopped on the back of the truck while Garrett backed the trailer up a few feet he was asleep. What a hard worker!

Prom

2009-03-19T14:18:00.000-07:00

Braylea and I went to prom with some of our friends. All girls! It was a girl party. The little girls all wore their prom dresses and had a lot of fun watching all of the princess dance. They loved it. We have been doing this for two years now so we will have to make it a tradition.

2009-03-02T13:18:00.000-08:00

So, yet another birthday celebration! We were feeling the luck of the Irish. Well... really we have photos from a year ago all decked out in green gear from Walmart too... so we decided to make it a tradition and get some green girl photos for 2009. Happy Birthday Jennie!

Spring Fever

2009-02-26T09:14:00.001-08:00

Braylea and Traxton are ready for Spring. I am fighting them to keep them in doors on the cold days, because when a warm day rolls around they are headed outside before I know it. They are definitely outdoor kids! And they get dirty enough to prove it!

Valentine's Day

2009-02-23T18:12:00.000-08:00

Garrett and I ran away to Salt Lake for Valentine's Day. We stayed at the Grand America Hotel. We were pampered with LOVE! After valet parking... we checked into our beautiful suite... then we spent time at the spa and had a couples massage. That evening we had a very yummy candle lit dinner in their restaurant. Then we walked to the Gallivan Center for ice skating. I only fell down one time... so I think that I did OK. We had so much fun!

My Littlest Shopping Partner

2009-02-06T14:27:00.000-08:00

Traxton loves to go shopping too. However, he makes great use of this time taking a nap. He went on a trip with Dad and Bray and was shopped out! He is such a little Q-T!

My Best Shopping Partner

2009-02-06T14:21:00.001-08:00

Braylea is my best little shopping partner. She fills her cart with things that are on the list and things that are not on the list. She loves to push the little carts around and most of all she loves that they have "golf" flags on them (Really I think the flags are a warning to other customers and they read "Customer in Training"). However, she thinks that they are like the flags on the golf course (she loves golfing).

Halloween 2008

2008-11-12T14:21:00.000-08:00

Finally some Halloween pictures to share. We will have to get more posted as soon as I can pull my act together after missing one day of work. (I feel like I am a week behind!) Anyway, had to share these cute little monsters. Enjoy!

Traxton is starting to walk.....

2008-11-11T12:35:00.000-08:00

So Traxton has been taking some accidental steps one at a time for a couple of weeks now. On Halloween he took 2 1/2 steps for Great-Grandpa Huntington. On Sunday the 2nd he was walking all over the place for Uncle Mike and Mom. Brandi was taking live footage and Braylea was helping ;). I was so excited. We will have to get some pix soon. He is growing so fast. Braylea has been safe because she can out walk his crawl (almost he is quite fast when he wants to be), but she is in for it now. Traxton loves to follow her every where and I am sure he will be stepping on her heels and mimicking her every move.

Fourth Folder Tag

Traxton loves having his bath and Braylea is so great to help. She loves to "fix his hair with bubbles" she says. It is quite cute.

Braylea and Traxton had so much fun carving their pumpkins! Braylea liked making pumpkin pie with the guts (Not real pumpkin pie). What fun we had. We made Cinderella and the Prince pumpkin carvings. They turned out very cute.

Where did Traxton go?

2008-10-24T13:15:00.000-07:00

Anytime Traxton disappears these days he is headed right for the toilet. He learned that it makes a really fun noise when you pull this nice little handle that is just the right height for little boys! What a fun toy...yuck. He sure does like it and has to flush the toilet several times every chance he getts!

Halloween Cake Contest

2008-10-24T13:08:00.001-07:00

Happy Halloween!

The elementary school had a cake contest for their Halloween carnival. Braylea and I made a witch cake. She was such a good cake decorator.

Braylea's cake won first prize! She received a $10.00 gift certificate to spend at the carnival and a cute Halloween pencil.

Teeth! Teeth! Teeth!

2008-09-26T13:35:00.000-07:00

Traxton now has four teeth. He has only bit me one time. He is sure growing fast. He loves his big sister and tries to go everywhere she goes and do everything that she does. She got into the mud the other day and of course so did he. Nothing stops him. He thinks that he is just as big as she is. What fun kids!

Growing Like A Weed

2008-09-26T13:24:00.001-07:00

Braylea was working "playing" in my classroom today. She was drawing a picture. I asked her what she was drawing and she told me, "I am making a lot of circles. You draw a circle mom." So I drew a circle. I asked her what it was and she told me that is the shape of a "momato" tomato. I then drew a triangle and asked her what it was. She said, "it is a triangle...the shape of a mountain...like where the antelope live until someone shoots them. When someone shoots them they take them to the antelope place (taxidermist)." Thinking I could challenge her I drew a square and asked her what it was. She said, "It is a square...kind of like a door." Still trying to challenge her I drew a diamond. I asked her what it was and she correctly identified it as well.

I am not sure what I am going to do with this girl she way to smart! She was so excited that they played basketball at preschool yesterday. It was all she talked about. O... and that they tasted lemons. She is growing way to fast!

My Little Helper

2008-09-19T14:39:00.000-07:00

Braylea was playing on my computer before she went to preschool this morning. She informed me "you have to push this button (the one on the mouse) to go to the internet". I had no idea that she new what the internet was. She plays on the computer a lot. Recently her favorite website is starfall.com. She loves the games on that web site and it is very educational. I would recommend it for any moms that are looking for educational learning games. Anyway... She keeps me on my toes and keeps a smile on my face. I love this little girl!

This photo is just another that we took this morning. She is very good at sticking post-it notes EVERYWHERE. I like it when she leaves notes. What a cutie.

Mighty Hunters

2008-09-18T14:02:00.000-07:00

Braylea and Traxton have been hunting antelope with Uncle Brandon the last two days. Braylea is quite the little guide. I am sure that she took Uncle Brandon right to this nice buck that he killed today.

This morning when I was getting her ready to go. She told me that she needed her hunting clothes and her hunting coat. We got them all ready. She said that she already had a gun and some binoculars so she did not need to take any. She was so excited to go. The entire time that I was getting Traxton ready to go she kept telling me to take her to Papa Gil's so she could go hunting. She could hardly wait! I am sure glad that they had a successful hunt.

2008-09-12T14:37:00.000-07:00

Traxton has three theeth now. One on the bottom and two on the top. He is growing so big. Grandma Lori took him for a fun ride in the stroller. Braylea and Tiger (the cat) went with. Braylea, Tiger, and Traxton were all in the stroller. Braylea decided to jump out before I could get a picture. Traxton and Tiger struck a pose. Aren't they cute?

Mike & Brandi's Wedding

2008-09-04T16:28:00.000-07:00

Two Hearts...Two Receptions...One Love...

We had so much fun at Mike and Brandi's

Nap Time?

2008-09-04T16:19:00.000-07:00

Traxton was one tired boy the day of Mike's wedding. He looked so cute sleeping that we had to snap a picture. He played really hard with Braylea, Uncle Jason, and Uncle Dallas.

2008-09-04T12:59:00.001-07:00

Braylea went to her first day of preschool. She was so excited. She wore her new clothes and took her Dora back pack. She was a little scared when I left, but her teacher said that she was just fine once she started to play. I asked her what she did at school and she said, "We ate cookies." They had cookies and milk for snack. She later told me that they got to play with popcorn seeds. Sounds like fun to me! She loves going to school with mom. She is such a social butterfly. She comes into my classroom for a few minutes after preschool and she fits right in with the second graders.

Where did August go?

2008-08-29T15:17:00.000-07:00

We cannot believe that August is ending. Traxton is crawling and crawling. He learned how to flush the toilet today. He thought that it was wonderful and I am sure we are in for some trouble! He has a tooth on the bottom left. He says, "dadadada." He is also giving hi-five.

Braylea cannot wait to start preschool next week. She is so excited. She is growing so tall. We went hunting last night with Papa Rick and she was such a good hunter. We were on a hill looking things over and she just piped up and said, "Mom...I will walk over into those woods with Grandpa... over there by the Russian Olives. You go down to the left and look for some deer." She heard a coyote and was a little scared that it might come over by us. It sure was howling. She "thinks" that she has a coyote trap (a hill that she has dug some holes in at the house). She checks her traps very regular. She has not caught anything yet. She informed Grandpa Kerry that it is not in season to catch the coyotes until morning time. She is our little hunter!

2008-08-19T14:42:00.000-07:00

Braylea had a fun summer, but she cannot wait to start preschool. She will be going two days a week. She is going to have so much fun. She has a cute Dora back pack and she cannot wait to take it to school. Trax will miss her!

2008-08-19T14:32:00.001-07:00

My little Traxton is getting so big. He is growing so fast and is a crawling machine. He keeps me and Braylea going. We love him so much.

2008-08-19T14:28:00.000-07:00

I made it through the first day of school. YEAH! This year is going to be so much fun. The students in my class are all so great. I am so excited! We had a great first day.

August 2008

2008-08-15T15:09:00.000-07:00

Summer is comming to an end and we have had a blast!

Braylea will be going to preschool. She celebrates her thrid birthday this month. Her and Traxton are the best of freinds and play so well together. We are so glad that he is a tuff little boy, because she forgets that he is still just a little guy and plays hard. She is the boss at our house and we all run on her time frame.

Traxton is so glad that he can crawl. Braylea cannot get away from him. He is always at our heels and into everything. He has the hardest head in town. He fell in the bathroom and hit his head on the tile and the tile broke. OUCH! He is such a blessing in our lives he keeps us going.

I start school on the 19th and cannot wait. I am looking forward to an exciting year. Braylea and Traxton will get to play at Heather's house while I am working. They love it there. I am looking forward to the bow hunt. I have been told not to get my hopes up or be to picky and to shoot at anything...we will have to see about that.
