October

I started a job a couple of days before Braxton's first Birgthday. I am soo grateful that I got to stay home for the first year of his life. For his 1st birthday he got to have 2 parties. Here is a cute picture eating his cake. He is growing up so fast and is soo smart. He is not walking all over but will walk up to 10 steps at a time. As soon as he feels like he is losing his balance he sits down. He is a very observant boy and watches everything everyone does.


Here is Braxton and Jacob playing with one of the toys that he got for his birthday.


We went to the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago and he liked pounding on the pumpkins and hearing the noise they made.

So he likes to pull the drawer out under his bed and sit in it to play with his toys. It is soo cute and funny.

We were standing outside in the parking lot talking when Jenny and Tim came up for the weekend. I set Braxton on the trunk of my car and my little monkey climbed up to the top.

He will climb everything possible. He climbed over the booth at a restaurant the other day and the step stool and boxes what ever he can climb on.

NO FEAR!!!

Jacob and Braxton are fighting over grandma's necklace. They loved playing with it and shaking it out of the other person's hands.

Toilet Paper

As you can see from the pictures below, your toilet paper is not safe when Braxton is around. He thought it was so fun and I had to laugh because of his great big smiles and giggles. Sorry Grandma, but at least he did not un-roll it into the toilet.

July

Now that Braxton is moving and all over the place we stay very busy. Here are a few of the things he likes to do and that we did this month.

Playing the piano, he can actually reach the keys if he stands on his tip toes and the piano bench is pushed in.

He loves to be outside. So it was warm so we turned the sprinkler on. He kept sticking his face in the water and giggling.

We have been helping Grandma Allred put together her classroom. Grandma gave him a piece of red vine licorice.

Grandma Jane let us come up and ride her horse. Here is Milo and Braxton on the horse. As you can see he has no fear.



We went to This Is the Place Park and had lunch at Uncle Alan's

We also went up to the cabin one Sunday and the kids had fun playing in the river and watching the toy boats come out under the bridge. Of course Braxton wanted to be in the river where he could get all the rocks he wanted to. He loves to eat rocks.

He is going for more.

4th of July Weekend

On the fourth of July we went up to Coalville to see Grandma VaunaDe. She was given a couple of baby goats. Braxton thought they were pretty cute and would giggle when they tried to nibble on his toes.
Braxton is not afraid of the water. He loves the hose. He squirts himself and giggles.

We have been going out to Aunt Michelle's pool. Here he is in Karlee's raft.

Our Neighborhood did fireworks on Monday night. We watched them from inside of our neighbor's house. The load noises made him scream but he likes the lights.

Here is our handsome boy in his 4th of July Shirt. What a cute boy.

Braxton

I went to get the camera because he was asleep on the edge of the couch but he heard me, looked up and this is the picture I got. Not complaining it is pretty cute.

Braxton is rolling all over. He has also started to get up on his knees and rock. He ended up under his jumper.
We have had Milo over in the afternoons while Kim is at work. Here is a picture of the boys at the park.

Jacob and Braxton

So Jenny's little boy Jacob wanted to eat and I was trying to hold him off for Jenny. Of course Braxton wanted me to hold him too. So here is what happens when you try and hold off a hungry Jakey. The squeals you hear are Jakey. Yes, we are laughing hysterically.
