Braxton

Yay! I finally got a shot of Braxton smiling!

Cute shot...

Gardner Village

Chase went to the petting zoo and had a pony ride when we made a stop at Gardner Village over the weekend. It was probably way too hot to be shopping outside, but thankfully it is national ice-cream month and they were giving out free ice-cream!

Having a good time on the pony ride, but always smiling too late for the camera...

Braxton's Blessing

Braxton in his cute little blessing outfit. The sweater, booties and the blanket were knitted by his great-grandmother.


Grandpa, my Aunt Sharon and Braxton

Mama and Daddy B with the boys


This is the family photo that took forever to get. None of the kids wanted to sit down or stay sitting or look at the camera...I love how no one is ready for the shot.

4th of July

Brian's work made a float for the 4th of July parade out here so Brian took Chase to be part of the parade, but of course I forgot my camera...Auntie Erin took some pictures so hopefully I can post them one day. Later that night, we lit fireworks at our house with family.


Chase loves asking for popsicles, but I don't think he actually ever gets to eat them. They just melt in his hands and he probably only gets 5 licks. I think he likes the idea of holding the popsicle instead of eating it.


Auntie Erin and Uncle Josh brought some fun fireworks over including this huge sparkler that was bigger than the kids.


Braxton hanging out with Mama B


Here is Brian burning all the garbage instead of throwing it away which was just fine until he started burning everything he could find...

Random Pictures

Mama B ordered Chase this blow-up castle jumper. We picked it up from the store the night before and blew it up and got it ready for the next morning. When Chase woke up we told him there was a surprise downstairs and when he saw it he ran and jumped right in. It was so fun to see his excitement for the big surprise.


Braxton does not look too happy here to have Chase holding him, but Chase sure is having fun...


Grandpa and Braxton - It looks like Braxton is smiling too.
