California! 2013

Woohoo! Ready to go back already!

Catch Up!

So life got super crazy really fast! So this is a catch up post. 

We'll start by showing you what happens when Brax gets ahold of your phone....or really anything with a camera on it. Can't say I am ever upset finding my camera filled with pictures of this kid!

We were able to make it to a Grizzlies game. He loved it till about half time...by then the "hyper juice" had begun to wear off. For about a week after he was determined that he wanted to play hockey.

He was able to go sledding with his friends Eli and Emerson. He LOVED it! 

Of course one of the favorites is the zoo! 

His favorite part of the Jazz game was most definitely the lunchbox he got.

Brax saw Santa Clause and the Grinch water skiing! The next day Braxton's picture was in the Salt Lake Tribune as well as the Daily Herald.

Tis' the Season! Braxton found the joy in chocolate making this year as well...he really wanted to sell his bears in front of the house...I convinced him that Papa and Aunt Heather really wanted to buy them, he was satisfied with that. 

These are a few others pictures that have been taken in the past few weeks. 

Fun with Friends! 11/5 - 11/11 2012

This week Brax has had lots of fun with his friends. First he got to go to Classic Fun Center. He took his strider bike and was breaking all the speed limits around the street, it is so fun to watch him rip around on that now! But his favorite part of Classic is the bouncy land where he gets to jump, slide and climb around. 

Brax has been a huge helper in picking up all the leaves at both Grandma's house and Great Grandma's house this week. But of course with all the hard work we need some play too!

Friday morning Brax was so excited to see the snow. He grabbed his ghost beenie and began to suit up for the cold. Putting on his beenie reminded him of Halloween and he just had to dress up like a ghost. I made what I could out pieces of sheet I had left over and he began running around. He soon decided that being a ghost wasn't quite enough so he grabbed a witch broom to top it off! 

If you can believe it, just a day after we played in the leaves we got to build this snowman! Braxton's friend Emerson really wanted to name it Carly but Brax just wasn't okay with his massive snowman being a girl so they settled on the name Barley.

5 Years!

Braxton's cousin has a timeline of all her Halloweens so far, made me start thinking about Braxton's.

 I can't believe 5 have already past!

"The Ultimate Super Hero"

We have loved every year and can't wait for the many more to come!

Oct 21st - Nov 4th, 2012

These last two weeks were full of Halloween fun! Brax got to go to two trunk or treats, a 5th grade party in Aunt Katie's class, a party and program in his preschool class, pumpkin carving and with the warm weather this year he spent almost 2 hours trick or treating! At his second trunk or treat he asked if he could take his own truck to pass out candy from. He was definitely the favorite stop for both the kids and adults! He couldn't decide what he wanted to be this year for Halloween so after changing his mind multiple times he decided to just put them all together. He ended up with a Pirate Ninja Turtle Spider/Bat man, or as he would tell you "The Ultimate Super Hero"!

Braxton was so excited when we woke him up and told him that it has snowed last Thursday. I don't think I have ever seen him wake up so happy before! He just kept saying "I have waited all day to make a snow angel"! Seeing as it was only 8 in the morning I figure he meant all summer. He was out in the snow most of the day and of course the weather got warm and sunny the next day and again he is waiting to make more snow angels. 

We were also able to make it to the aquarium this week (one of his favorite places). We made it just in time to do the stingray feeding! 

And of course a highlight to his week is spending time rat hunting with papa!

October 14th-20th - 2012

This week was full of adventure for Braxton! Everything from throwing up to riding a motorcycle just his size. 

He started the week by going on a field trip to the fire station. 

He got to go to the Aquarium.

He was super excited to help uncle Robbie unload his 3 beavers and 1 porcupine!

After a sick day in bed he was up and ready to hit the dunes.

Can't wait for next week!

My Super Hero

This is the stud we all know as Braxton. Though he may seem to be just a normal 4 year old, don't let him fool you! He is in fact a Super Hero! When no one seems to be looking he is out saving the world one smile at a time. What a blessing he is in our lives. We have decided to try to share this blessing with others and hope that this blog all about his life and adventures will bring a smile to your day!
