Looking Back.....










Today I was looking through some old memory cards, and I couldn't believe how time has just flown by. These pictures seemed just like yesterday and my little guy is just growing up too fast. I wish I could go back, relive, and soak up every moment I have had with Brayden. Time has slipped through my fingers so quickly. Looking at these pictures I realize now that I cannot let another moment pass me by without letting my heart take a small picture and remembering these moments forever.....

Refreshing



This invigorating body scrub recipe was in this months issue of Country Living Magazine. It caught my interest and I decided to try it...Needless to say it is very refreshing, simple to do, and would make a great homemade gift to any girlfriend! Try it yourself and start feeling refreshed.....

FLAMING GORGE!!!
















Oh what family fun we had. From boating, to four wheeling, eating, laughing and enjoying the beautiful scenery. It is one of our favorite spots to visit. Here are some pic's of what we did...



GOOD TIMES!!! :)

Zebras, Monkeys, and Tigers OH MY!!!









Brayden's first Zoo visit with Mom and Dad. The day was great, Brayden has taken after Dad, he LOVES animals. He would point and get so bright eyed everytime he would see a different animal. We even took the train ride around the Zoo. It was a lot of fun to show him all of the beautiful animals. I am sure it will be a tradition every summer!

These BOOTS were made for WALKIN' . . .






Look what Daddy brought home one night. Braydens first pair of cowboy boots. And of course we couldn't wait until the next day so we tried them on with our PJ's!! They are so cute on him. At first he really didn't know what to think, but then he started to walk really WIDE. It was hysterical!! Guess it goes right along with the pony rides!!

Let Freedom Ring!!













Here we are, Braydens second 4th of July!! This year it was really fun to take him to the parade,(the Magna parade:) ) he got lots of candy and got wet by some of the floats that sprayed us as they passed by. By the end of the parade we were wet, full of sugar, and ready for more, we had a great time!!We also let him hold a sparkler with help of course, and watch all of the pretty popping fireworks!! His face just would light up when he saw all the motorcycles, loud trucks and tractors in the parade. He even got his own Fireman hat!! Brayden also got to enjoy his first BBQ and got to try corn on the cob all by himself. It was a riot to watch him try to eat it, but he got the hang of it and chowed it down. What a great holiday to reflect on all of our freedoms and blessings that we all enjoy!!

Pool Fun!!!










Summer is here and that means lots of time outdoors for my little guy, it is really hot during the day but wants to be outside so bad... so Brayden got his first Kiddie pool!! Yes, it is a giant frog, and yes he does love it. He wasn't quite brave enough to sit down in it, but he loved playing with the hose to fill it up, he would scream and kick his legs and splash around. We had a lot of fun, splishing and splashing in the giant frog pool :)!!!

YEEE HAAWWW!!!!!!












This is Braydens first ride on a pony!! And he just LOVED IT!! Grandma,Grandpa, both Aunts, Mom and Dad all got to see the look on his face when we put him on the pony, and it was priceless. He was so calm, yet excited, he had a big smile on the entire time (which was a while by the way) when the pony's stopped he would scream and bounce up and down, he wanted to go go go!!! Then he got comfortable enough Brayden just grabbed the saddle with one hand and leaned back, he looked like a natural!! Our little CowBOY!! Giddy -up pony!

I know, I know, Lots of pic's!! :)
