North Carolina

This last week I had a chance to go and visit Brandon while he is working out in North Carolina. What a beautiful place I love it there. We got to spend a couple of days down at Myrtle Beach it was my first time going to the ocean and I love it!! The water was so warm it was like taking a bath. I would love, love, love to live there. It was a great week of rest and relaxation. We had a great time but I was happy to get home to my kiddos.

*-*-*4th of July Camping*-*-*

This weekend we went to Devil's Creek to do a little camping and celebrate the 4th!! We finally had daddy home for just one day but we made sure to spend plenty of time with him. It was a lot of fun on Saturday we went down to Malad for the big parade and party in the park. Branson loved the parade and finally was getting the concept of it all!! After the parade we went down to the park where they had some booths and games for everyone. We found Gracie the cutest new little Tutu!! And Branson just enjoyed playing on the toys and in the sand!! Brandon's cousin Jordan talked Brandon into playing in a Dodgeball tournament and there team where the Campions!! It was a lot of fun!! After we went back to Devil's creek and had a big ol' BBQ with everyone. Then when it finally got dark we lite off fireworks!! We had a great weekend and where so excited the Daddy was home even if it was for one day!!

This weekend we went over to my mom's house and stayed the weekend. We did a bunch of fun things starting with a party at my sister's tons of cute, cute stuff!! Thanks Aunt Jackie we love everything we got!! Then we headed to my mom's and swam in her little pool Branson and Gracie had so much fun in it. The played for hours. Branson loved to run and jump in and Gracie just loved splashing!! That night we headed out to the big ol' Hyrum Rodeo!! Branson has wanted to go see the "buckin bulls" for a long time and so I finally we got to go and see them. He loved every minute of them and he was such a good little guy. Gracie was facenated as well she just stared at all the horses running around. It was a lot of fun we just wish that Dad could have been here with us!!

I can't believe our little man is 3!!! It has gone by so fast :( We love him so very much and are so very grateful to have him in our family. He is so much fun and so totally full of it. He is such a good little guy and he is so good to his little sister. Happy Birthday Buddy we love you so much!!!

Branson's New "Wheeler"

Since Brandon is going to be gone on Branson's birthday we decided to give him his present early. We got him a new bigger 4 wheeler. He was so excited at first he didn't even believe us when we told him that it was his. It was so cute he is starting to get the hang of turning and backing up and he is loving it!!

Playing at the Park Part 2

So I decided since Gracie ended the first trip to the park early I would take Branson again just by himself. He had so much fun "shootin hoops" and playing around. I feel bad when we have to leave cause I know that he loves it there so much.




Mean while at home little Gracie aka "homebody" was having the time of her life in her walker with her toys. I think that she is pretty happy that we left her home this time.

Playing at the Park

Branson has been begging me to take him to the park and since the weather has finally been a little better we headed over. Branson had a bunch of fun running and playing and are little princess Gracie didn't have so much fun. Branson tells everyone that she cried her eyes out :O) So next time Gracie is just going to have to stay home. We have came to find that she is a home body for sure. The girl even hates shopping???
