Braxton and I got to go home to Idaho this past week. Lets just say we had a great trip and I am still trying to recover.
Just a Warning:
This is, I think one of my largest posts. So if you don't make it to the end I wont blame you. It's mostly pics though, since I am a picturholic. I think it funner to see pics along with some of the stories rather than just stories most the time.
So ENJOY!
He was a trooper but it was extremely hard with out a DVD player in the car on the way up, The trip home was a little better, I borrowed one for the trip home. We rented a car for me and Brax to drive up in, it was great I had forgotten what it was like to drive a newer dependable car.



He would ask for something, and I would ask him what he was supposed to say. Hoping for Please. and this is what I would get a sweet little smile.



I gave him a whopper (the candy) and he took his silly sweet time eating it.


It was so funny to watch him in the mirror eating it.

throwing rocks at the ducks


chasing a seagull...


then chasing some ducks.


This picture is just cute!

Finally got some bread to throw instead of rocks.


attempting to get some cute picks of me and Brax.

I had just told Krystal (who was taking the pic) that she had duck crap on her arm! LOL


Chillin' on Aunt Stacee while watching Aunt Krystal trying to NOT fall into the river.

Trying to wash her arm off.

FEEDING THE DUCKS!







Braxton learned pretty quick how to deal with Sam who was bigger than he was.




While we were eating I saw him grab his sword and thought he was going to go wack someone, so I grabbed the camera and got this instead.
He trampled his whole plate of food.
My mom thought it was pretty funny.




BRAXTON IS IN LOVE WITH THE 4 WHEELERS!


And the WATER FIGHT BEGINS...
Between Stac and Krystal.

Then Sam joined in...

And Braxton grabbed his sword to go save the day!


He attacked both of them, wacking them with his sword.



Then I decided to join in a little bit... with BALLOONS!

She saw it coming!

IT HITS!

AND THEN THE DRAMATIC ACTIONS OF KRYSTAL AFTER BEING HIT. LOL


and I got Stacee too! Right in the chest!!!
Score for me! Or Doom for me, lets just say I was freezing by the end of all this.

Then Stacee got Jessica with a balloon down the front of her shirt and then Jessica got Stac right on her head!


And the instigator of it all.
and some how he barely got damp! How does that happen?

He Sprayed Krystal right on the neck

Braxton thought all this was hilarious! He was soaked by the end too.


My birthday Cake



Helping mom blow out the candles


I finally captured a good smile out of this cutie. Too bad we looked horrible from the water fight prior to this.

We told him these were snakes, but he was convinced they were "stinkies"



He tried to use his sparkler as a sword and went after Krystal. LOL


OH NO! It went out.
He freaked out in a playing way and took off running yelling at everyone to "RUN, GO, GO, GO!"It was funny

The rides were so expensive, I only let brax ride one ride and he chose the Train, (surprise, surprise) He was so excited and did really well all by himself.

He became obsessed with showers while we were there.



RIGBY LAKE
For those of you who haven't been in a while like me, I was shocked you have to pay $5 per car load now just to get in. But it is worth it! They now have grass instead of weeds, real sand, and a dock with a slide.

he asked to go down this slide! I was a little shocked but then again not. He really doesn't have too much fear for these kind of things. He went down the slide 2 times, that was enough for me.


Krystals turn,

Stacee's Turn

He's gotta stick! Everyone Run!

He kept standing on his head in the sand, he was so coved in sand by the time we were done.

Enjoying one of Stacee's chocolate chip granola bars


He didn't fall down, He would just lay there in the warm sand and wiggle around.

He actually fell asleep on me while we were out there floating.

Braxton loved the ice blocking he thought it was pretty cool.







I was doing great! Until I hit the long dry patch of grass at the very bottom.

This is how I landed on the ground and bruised my tail bone it's been 6 days and I can still barely sit and stand right.

PAIN!
Not very flattering pics, but it shows my pain.


Spinning with Uncle Bryan... and getting very very dizzy.




Ice Cream was the only thing that would calm him down, he woke up and fell apart when he realized that we were still int he car. So I stopped at the nearest gas station.

Some of the beautiful views along the 15 hour drive we drove both ways
