One Long and Eventful Month

You may have noticed a lack of posts this month on my blog. I have to say that it is due to many blog worthy activities that I just haven't gotten around to blogging about. It seems that summer is just that way at our house. Many people dread the summer because of the heat, but for me it is my favorite time of year because there are always so many events to choose from. The question isn't what is there to do it's more like which activity should we choose? I love it! If only winter could be this busy I would probably enjoy it too, but it's not (at least for me it's not). So here are a few of the activities that have been keeping us away from the computer....

Braxton seems to be all boy. If there is dirt to be found rest assured he will find and play in it.
There's that dirty little face.

Every now and again I do get a snuggle with my boy. As long as Cars are on the screen.

I found these "wolf" ears I made for a children's play in college and
the kids had fun trying them on.

Braxton isn't nearly as scary a wolf as Aaron is.
Cheryl had a construction hat that Braxton found a loved.
Lucky for me I found one just like it for a dollar.
Braxton loved his cars birthday cake and his cars tablecloth.
I can't believe that my baby turned three on the 22nd!

Proud as punch

Brian and Shanalea got him a Cars coloring book and play dough. He loved them both!

Braxton actually picked out his birthday present at the store. He would not leave without Kent and I buying him this cattle truck. It's not really a truck if it's not hauling something.

Just before he blew out the candle.

Make a wish...I'm sure it centered around something that transports things.

Last weekend we headed down to Fish Lake with Kent's family for the annual reunion.

Braxton loved driving Uncle Gordon's boat.

Don't be jealous, but don't I have a handsome husband! LUCKY!

Kent and I picked up our poles and one more was left so
Braxton picked it up and started fishing himself as if he'd done it many times before.

With a little faith and a quick prayer you can catch fish
after 15 years of not catching them. :)

My boys fishing! We are going to be doing this again this summer.

Just fishing with dad.

Notice the water around him? He is actually driving the boat.

Braxton and I showing off Kent and my fish. Mine was bigger by a half an inch! :)
It may be slow from here on out but just remember if I am not posting it is because we are having too much fun! Hope your summer is full of good times too!
