WOW!!!! Time sure does go by fast. Sorry that it has been so long since we have had an update on what we have been up to. Who knew that a 9 month old could be such a hand-full?!??! Braxton is getting to be so much fun. He is crawling all over the place, and learning how to get into trouble. He is pulling himself up on whatever he can, and trying to do chin-ups on anything that is just barely within his reach. He is even starting to walk along furniture, and do the "look mom, no hands!" We already know that he will be on the go nonstop from sun-up to sun-down.
We just got back from Seattle for my mom's 50th birthday, and that was a lot of fun. Braxton continues to do really well on flights, and we couldn't be happier about it. We were able to spend time with my brothers and their families which was nice. It was a short trip, but enjoyed.
Curt is still liking his job, and he feels like he is learning a lot. He drives a lot, but loves the time he has to listen to his books on tape. I think he has now moved on to Star Wars. So if anyone has a good suggestion let us know.
I am staying at home with Braxton, and tending our neighbor's little girl during the week. I feel so blessed to be able to be home. There is nothing better than being there while Braxton learns new things every single day.
We are excited to go to the trunk-or-treat tonight for Braxton's first time, I don't think I have ever seen such a cute dragon.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

What a CUTE dragon! We know it isn't even Halloween yet, but Braxton just couldn't wait to get into his dragon costume.

August 24

We have had a busy, exciting, and fun summer! Its amazing how life changes once you have a baby.... we never would have guessed. We have managed to get out and go camping and 4-wheeling some, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. This last week we bought a bike trailer for Braxton, so we are hoping to get some good bike rides in before the end of summer. We have ridden a couple of times, and he loves it! Its a good thing he likes being outside so much, it always seems to calm him down.
He is getting so big! He now has 4 teeth that have come through, and more that are getting ready (It has been an interesting month). He can sit up by himself, and he is starting to try to crawl. Its amazing how fast he learns. He is always trying to see what is going on, and take everything in that he can.
We have also decided NOT to move, and both Curt and I have a new found energy to put into our house. We didn't feel like it was the right thing for us to do so we decided to stay put and maybe even do some more work on our home. We are thinking of putting in a garden, so if anyone has any advise PLEASE let me know....
We are planning on going up to visit my family in Seattle next week, and look forward to the time with family. Be sure to check the new pictures we have put on the site!

Summer Fun!

Wow, how time flies!!! We have had a great summer so far. We have stayed busy, and taken advantage of the time that we have had. Braxton has been on his first two camping trips. We went up to Monte Cristo and enjoyed the warm weather, and the outdoors. Braxton loves being outside, so that makes camping that much more fun!
We can hardly believe how fast Braxton is growing up. He now has his first two teeth! He is rolling over, and starting to try and crawl. Its easy to see why parents spend so much on clothes for their kids.... he is already growing out of some of his 6-9 month outfits! I am so lucky to have been able to stay at home with him, and feel blessed that I have been there for so many of his exploration moments.
Curt and I have decided that we are going to build another home, this time in Kaysville. It will be ready in about 5-6 months. We are really excited, although sad to leave our home now. It will be a great home, and we look forward to the new adventure.
