Our Move to Thatcher, AZ

We will start out with this adorable little picture of My handsome little man!

This odd little mishap occurred while I was packing up our house, I still don't have a clue on how he got this way.

Mattress Body Slamming!

He thought is was the coolest thing and made me try it with him and it was actually really fun! haha!

Brandon brought our trailer to the house and then had to set up walls on it, Brax enjoyed helping until he got too hot.

After a very busy day of packing and cleaning with the help of a few of my neighbors, Braxton finally passed out around 3am while Brandon and I finished up the small detail cleaning. We drove away at 4am and arrived in Thatcher at our new home at 9am. A 2 1/2 hour drive, stretched out into 5 hours! It took so long, but you will see why here in just a minute.

This is why our trip too so long

We had way more stuff than we thought we did.

Attempting to unpack all of our stuff.

He was starving by the time we got all of our stuff inside the house.

Braxton unpacking his room, or destroying his room.

These are the views from around our house.

After our first big rain storm I looked out the window and saw FROGS! We have so many frogs and toads! So we went out early one morning and caught some froggies!

The dogs were barking a lot so I went to take them inside and put the camera down and the little munchkin got a hold of it and tried to take pictures of himself.

Hunting for froggies!

He was really into it, until that is we actually caught one and then he kept his distance.

He was pretty cool with them until they were in the house, this was the closest I could get him to get to them.

Trying to be brave...

Until I set him up on the counter, then he hated them.

It's not really fun until ya get mom!

We put up a fence so that Lucky and Cooper can run free. The owners had the wooden slates stacked up in the back of the lot so we just put them up.

Breakfast on the patio!

Our air conditioner wasn't working very well so brax and I went and filled up the pool to cool off, he had a lot of fun spraying me with the hose.

Trying to sneak in the house with the water gun.

They sit like this all too often.

Crazy Fun!

I'll let the pics tell you what a little stinker this boy is.

This was the biggest storm we have had in the past 2 weeks and they have been some big ones. I watched this storm come in and it was so loud our house was shaking with all the thunder and rain.

These next few are some of the lightening shots I got.

The flood pics in the middle of the storm

A lake in the middle of the campus from the rain the night before.

These are the beautiful flowers I sent to my mom for her birthday.

Dinner at Golden Corral, This little boy ate sooooo much food I couldn't believe it. And we learned something new... He loves popcorn shrimp! with the cocktail sauce! (yuck)

Forgotten Pictures

He loves his "Your Baby Can Read" videos. This is him acting out some of the words as he says them.

Ears

Hair

Nose

Look Down

Look Up

Cheeks!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the water spout,

down came the rain,

and washed the spider out...

and then Braxton decided he was done and wanted more Popsicle.

Somehow I forgot that we went to the water park with some friends a few weeks before we moved and found these on the camera while I was emptying it.

What a CUTIE!

Telling me the bucket was tipping on top of the water toys.

Cheese Ball!

Then he got grumpy and we had to go time out and have a snack.

Our dogs love to chew on broccoli stalks. Weird, I know.

OLIVE FINGERS!

Okay, I was starting to clean up the yard a little bit and was spraying down the grass a little bit so it didn't dry up and a NASTY little JUMPING mouse leaped out and me and started to chase me until the dogs saw it and went after it. So after the dogs and jumped on it I hurried and put a bucket over it, because I didn't want the dogs eating it in case it had a disease or something.

Those dogs really, really wanted that mouse.

Random and emptied the phone of pics

This boy loves to run naked. He fights me all the time to put underwear on, so I finally told him that Cooper was going to bite his bum if he didn't wear some underwear and pants. Now when ever his pants are off whether it be getting in the tub or out, after going potty, or just getting dressed he grabs what ever he can and sometimes just his hands and cover his front and back to protect himself from Cooper. HAHA! It's so funny to see him covering himself up and running to find some clothes.

I'm just glad he is dressed most of the time now.

He grabbed his booster chair and put it on his bike then sat on it and started riding around the house. It was so cute that he thought of that, I couldn't resist taking a pic.

While cleaning out the storage room to start packing I found this elephant costume that I borrowed and forgot about (got to return it still) and brax insisted that he wear it.

This kid can't hold still to save his life while sleeping. I constantly find him hanging off the side of the beds while sleeping.

His latest thing is helping me do the dishes, which I really don't like cause he makes such a mess, but I figure he won't always want to help so I might as well let him. I walked away for a minute and he decided to help himself to a drink.

He is such a tease!

These dogs take so much crap from him is amazing. He'll take their toys and beat up the dogs with them and play keep away.

One night he was begging me to push him around in the laundry basket so instead of pushing him I sat down and pulled him in a circle around me. He thought it was pretty awesome.

So did the dogs, they had fun chasing him around in circles.

Then they all passed out on the couch.

This is his favorite thing to do in the store now, ride on the front of the cart. I can't stand it, for one I have to walk super slow in case he falls off, but he is really good about staying near me when he gets off and not running away.

OLIVES!!!

I was attempting to get a pic of the dogs eating broccoli stalks and brax jumped into the pic and cheesed it up.
