Idaho Fun





Playing at Grandma Merry's
Giving Sam a drink of water, such a nice boy

Sitting on the riding lawn mower with Aunt Krystal, every chance he got he would run over to it and jump on pretending to drive.
Trying to get a Picture with Granny Felsted

Playing on the tramp with Sam
getting ready to spin on the octopus, he's a little nervous as you can see.
Aunt Stacee got him a Icee and he was so happy about it
HOLY CRAP, Flying with Uncle Bryan

Playing in the sprinkler at Granny Felsteds House
Riding the giant puppy!



Brax loving the tire swing, this is also at the ward party that the water slide video is from
He loves Fried Chicken, he had two legs.


I got to get together with one of my girlfriends from high school her little boy and brax had some fun playing in a puddle at the broken splash park.

Braxton waiting to ride the Carousel at Porter Park
Riding with mommy on the bench of the Carousel, he loved the horsey's but after a few minutes wanted to get off so we sat down and the he loved it even more.



Yes, he is actually poking him in the eye, by accident of course
Braxton had lots of fun playing with his uncles
Now his two year old aunt on the other hand, well that's another story. She was being sweet trying to mommy him a little and he wasn't going to take it. With in two hours he pushed her off the tramp, slammed her against the wall by her shirt yelling gibberish in her face, he also learned how to pinch so that happened as well, and he took a bite of her arm and let some very deep marks.
So lets just say I went about crazy and now we have to watch them like a hawk or there is bound to be screaming and crying. So in this picture he is on the time out chair for the first time ever for biting.
He hasn't bitten or pinched since because i experimented with him and bit and pinched him right after I saw him do it. And thankfully it has worked.

Having fun driving the Tractor with dad and Playing at the Ranch

Braxton's cheesy smile




When Brandon stays up at the Ranch, he takes our camper and lives in there. Well we went up and stayed a few days and i let Brax out to go play on the swings. So, I went out to get him and couldn't find him till lucky came darting out from underneath the pickup; Shockingly so was my kid!


Lucky had a lot of fun playing with the other dogs too.My skinny little man, OUT COLD in the camper

Some of the Gorgeous Views up at the Ranch
Braxton's first ever TWINKIE!
My mom said he was deprived because I had never given him one.
(There just not something I buy, there nothing but fat)

Braxton also got a hold of my mom's makeup needless to say the waterproof mascara.

When I had him look in the mirror, he started crying and trying to wipe it off.

CAMPING

CAMPING IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
2009

Even though there was a small bike there for him to ride on he insisted that he ride the big one
So here is daddy helping him ride it.
He was full of energy after the long ride up there and wouldn't hold still or stay in one general area so Aunt Sherrise and Uncle Austin took him for a little walk.



Braxton was way too tired and so was I, so while the rest of the family went on the exhausting stairs hike down to see the lower falls, Brax and I stayed near the parking lot and walked around there and had some fun, these next few pics are from that.



It was really windy and raining, so dad stayed in the car and i went and saw the mud pots... well it was too cold so I ran back to the car and scared brax at first by jumping at the window, then he thought it was funny and I snapped a picture.


Waiting for the "Old Faithful Geyser"












Pictures from the Idaho State Fair

Mommy got to go to the fair with Braxton! It was Brax's second time there, so he knew exactly what he wanted, but we definitely avoided the rides.

he loved to feed the goats, he would tackle the little ones and give them a big hug

Now the horses on the other hand they were a little too big and scary for him.

This giant turkey scared him to death too, as you can tell by his face.

Enjoying a state fair hamburger, he gobbled this down extremely fast

Mommy and Braxton

My little braxton cow!

and Cowboy Braxton!

They had puppies for sale at the fair, Braxton was in heaven

At the fair with Grandma Merry, Aunt Stacee, and Aunt Krystal!







Riding the rides!!!








Idaho!!

Oh we have had such a busy month so far, we arrived in Idaho on the 31st and have been going ever since. We surprised both our families cause we were here earlier than planned. September 3-7 we went camping in Yellowstone with Brandon's family and saw the usual buffalo and elk. But i did see a wolf! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures because it was dark and we were driving and i thought it was a coyote, Until the next day we had a coyote walk across our hiking trail then I knew that I had seen a wolf my mother-in-law saw it also and also agrees that is was a wolf after seeing the coyote. Exciting and Frustrating at the same time because we didn't know what it was to begin with.

On our hike we hiked about 2 1/2 miles into "Fairy Falls" and then another mile to go see the "Imperial Geyser" it was so pretty. The Imperial Geyser is a pool of Royal Blue water that goes off every minute, not as big as old faithful but way more pretty. So the total of the Hike was about 5 1/2 miles. Along with the coyote crossing our path during our hike at the end of it we had a buffalo that we had to go pass, no kidding we had to walk about 15 feet away from this large bull buffalo just to get to our cars.

Sorry to say I can't find the cord to my computer to download the pictures from my camera from camping, etc. But I am working on it.

When we got home, my mom came up and took Braxton to the state fair, he had so much fun in the petting zoo and on the rides. Then I went back with them on the last day and was able to see him with the animals, it was fun.

Unfortunately Braxton stood up and fell head first out of the wagon at the fair and got another big scrapped bruise on his forehead. I say another because while I was packing some of our things at our home here in Rexburg, Brax fell outside and hit his head on the corner of a cement block, I freaked out. When I found him his whole face was covered in blood, I've never seen so much blood on a little baby, and the first thing that went through my mind was "I don't have a car!". I ran inside and cleaned it up praying that he wouldn't need stitches. Luckily it wasn't as bad as it looked, just a little puncture and scrap. Being the tough little kid that he is, he was ready to go back out and play no more than 5 minutes later. Let's just say I watched him like a hawk for the next 24 hours.

So I got everything all packed up and ready to go and Brandon decided that he wanted to stay and help with harvest for a few weeks, well those few weeks has turned into the whole harvest so I am living with my in-laws and bouncing back and forth to my moms a few days of the week and up the ranch to stay with Brandon for a day and a half. Along with harvest I have had the worst Allergies ever! I have never had allergies before and i feel like i'm going to die!!! So we will be here till the tenth of Ocotober, just enough time for me to unpack everything and get ready for Halloween in Arizona. So if anyone wants to do anything, I'm pretty much free for the next few weeks.
