Field Trips

2008-10-28T16:31:00.003-06:00

Braxton is in preschool this year and they get to go on lots of field trips they have only been in school for 2 months and already they have been on two field trips, the first one was to the Boise Zoo and then to the Pumpkin Patch. Braxton's favorite part about the field trips is riding the bus. I don't think he cares about where they are going or what they get to do just as long as he gets to get on the bus.

Tylee's first real park trip

2008-10-28T16:19:00.003-06:00

We have been to he park with Tylee lots of times but this time she really got to play and loved to swing and climb through the tunnels on the playground.

Fun with Fall

Instead of canning assignments our ward has an orchard, so we get to go pick the fruit off the trees for a few hours in the evening sometimes. We went to do the apples a few weeks ago with some friends of ours and had a blast! The kids loved picking all the apples off the trees.

Fun with a napkin!

Derek's Birthday

2008-06-30T13:38:00.003-06:00

Derek's Birthday is June 15th, so it always lands on fathers day weekend, this year it was on fathers day! (lucky Guy!) Every year we go to the Thacker family reunion which is on fathers day weekend and go camping, but we travel home on sunday, which is fathers day and also Derek's Birthday so he manages every year to have a pretty crappy Birthday of road trips and fighting with kids in the car! To put the icing on the cake this year my grandpa was in the hospital in Salt Lake City so we spent the entire day at the hospital.I felt awful, the poor guy had a horrible birthday, but that evening my dad took us all out to dinner so that was the extent of the Birthday celebration, we ordered him desert at Chilli's and Braxton helped him eat it!! I hope next year turns out a little better!

We had alot of fun at the Reunion though it was Tylee's first Camping trip and she did great!

Tylee is 4 months old

2008-06-12T11:48:00.003-06:00

It seems like just yesterday I was at the hospital getting miss Tylee and now she is 4 months old.

She is so much fun, she is the happiest baby ever my dad started calling her smiley Tylee cuz she is so smiley and giggly. It is so neat to watch them grow and learn!

4th Birthday

2008-06-12T11:36:00.004-06:00

He was so Good to say Thank you and hand out hugs

Davis was so funny, he got all sad and kept saying " my toys suck"

Braxton is 4!

2008-06-12T11:23:00.004-06:00

Saturday was the big 4th birthday, we have been waiting for a long time it seems. Everyday since Davis' birthday (it was 7 weeks ago) Braxton asks " is today my birthday" and I always have to say no. well we made it and he is now 4. I can't believe it, time has gone by so fast.

We had a great party we decided to have a BBQ at the park, we invited the whole family , i have never seen one 4 year old open so many presents he is so spoiled. Then he had to walk down the line of people and give everyone a hug, he is such a good boy! We got a lightning Mcqueen birthday cake and everything, he thought it was awesome. the only downer is the wind blew the entire time it was so cold but we made it through! Braxton now walks up to people holding up 4 fingers just so they know he is 4 years old.

Best Buds

These are my best friends! Brittney, my mom, and I Always have the best times together, we laugh more then anyone. But of course we are the only ones that think we are funny no one else seems to get our humor and craziness. We don't care though we have fun!!

Digger

2008-06-03T11:56:00.003-06:00

Braxton is always talking about how he wants to be a "digger" when he grows up. (Mostly because that is what daddy does) so the other day we took him to see Dad and Papa Bruce at work and they let him be a digger he was in heaven!

Aftyn

2008-06-03T11:51:00.003-06:00

Derek's sister just had a baby, Aftyn Shea. Tylee is exactly 3 months older than she is they will be best of friends! here are the pictures from the hospital.

Tylee is rolling over!

2008-04-17T11:35:00.003-06:00

Aunt Brittney and I decided to lay Tylee on a blanket to do a little tummy time this morning. Tylee gets a little frustrated whenever we lay her on her tummy(it is very hard work). she was laying there grunting and moaning, Brittney decided to put Tylee's arm up and show her she can get herself over onto her back. Brittney rolled her once and then rolled her back on her tummy. Tylee stayed there for a minute and then rolled to her side, after a long struggle she kicked herself over, it was so cute. All it took was one time and now every time we put her on her tummy she kicks herself over. She is getting to big to fast!

Dangerous Bike RIders

2008-04-08T16:29:00.003-06:00

Davis and Braxton have just figured out how to ride their bikes with out training wheels. I thought it was pretty normal for Davis because he has such great balance for a three your old but I didn't think that Braxton would be able to so soon, but just like his uncle Davis we took him out and gave him one little push and off he went!! It was so cute. Davis can now start by him self but Braxton still needs a little help, so the two of them will go outside together and Braxton gets his bike and then here comes Davis, he holds the bike so Braxton can get on and gives him a push, once Braxton gets going Davis gets on his bike and they ride around. Until Braxton crashes or stops, then Davis willingly jumps off of his bike runs over to Braxton helps him start again and then goes back to his bike. it is the funniest thing to watch the two three years olds go round and round in the neighborhood until time to help Braxton get on again!

I am a Newby!!!!

So i have had my blogspot set up for a while now but this is my first time ever posting anything so you will have to excuse me in the fact that i have no idea what i am doing!! so if any one has any pointers that would be great!!. We had our family photo taken about 4 weeks a go and as you can tell Braxton is just a little ham!! we would tell him to smile and he just plants this fake ( i do what i am told) smile on, but it did turn out pretty cute!
