Severe Storm

On June 6th we had the biggest storm I think I've ever seen! 
We had the tornado sirens go off twice during the day and then at 11pm the biggest hail storm I've ever seen hit and scared me awake. I'm glad that it didn't wake the boys. I went outside and it was super windy and cold. The storm went on for about 30 minutes. When it stopped it looked like we had just had a nice snow storm. So I went downstairs and snapped a few pics and then grabbed a bowl full for Braxton to see the next morning.

All of these are surrounding us within a 10-15 mile radius.

New Friends

We went over to my relief society presidents house a few weeks ago and then last week she invited us over again. Braxton loves it over there they have a really good dog and they also had a new baby bunny the second time. He loved the bunny and it loved him too. We were told that he was the most gentle kid that had ever held her.

 The dog was a great sport when ever Braxton wanted to soak it with a bucket of water.

 Always has to have a Popsicle

He said he was a "cool guy" with the grass in his mouth.


Playing peek a boo with the bunny, haha!



 They have a great swing set too
 I love this he always lands flat on his bum getting covered in mud at the end.



And tomorrow we get the chance to go to the lake to go swimming with them too! 

Countdown!

Braxton has been continuously been asking how many more days till we go home to Idaho. So we made a countdown chain together and each morning he gets to take one link off and watch it get smaller and smaller!





Taking off his first link!


swimming and sleepy baby

A little craftiness...
I've been saving Logan baby food containers for a couple days and thought to make them into fun little building blocks with their pics on them. they turned out pretty cute and the kids have loved playing with them.







SWIMMING TIME!!
Logan's first time swimming! He is a water baby for sure!
I bought a small pool and put it on our deck for the boys to splash in when it's too cool to go the pool or I just simply don't want to.





He is a SPLASHER!
And he think's it is so funny, Braxton not so much :)







Watching his fishy swim in it's box :)



The boys even got a chance to go swimming with Dad. The water was a bit chilly so Logan and I spent the whole time in the hot tub.
 He's such a little nut when it's time for bed. He thinks it's a game. I will feed him a bottle while he laughs at me and then make sure I get a burp out of him and lay him down all snuggled in his bed.
I always have to go in a few minutes later, it's like his routine or something, cause he wiggles so much trying to get comfortable his binky falls out and he get fussy. I go into him and get the biggest smile and laugh. I just turn him over, replace the binky, and pat his bum. He usually goes to sleep after that.
