BATH TIME WITH ZOEY!

I have always wondered what Zoey would do if I put her in the bathtub with Braxton. I decided today to try it. Zoey stood there for about 15 seconds and the jumped out. As soon as she jumped out braxton stood up and started clapping his hands. Then he started laughing really hard. It was really funny and totally worth the puddle of water I had to clean up.

WENDOVER

For our 5 year wedding anniversary, we left Braxton with my mom and sister and went to Wendover. Neither of us had ever been there before and we had a lot of fun. We played pool, darts, and arcades games most of the time. Ryan and I have never gambled before and we thought since we were in wendover we might as well give it a try. We each got a dollar and went to the nickel slots. I was pretty excited I tripled my dollar but decided I didn't want 57 nickels so we gambled until all our change was gone. It was very refreshing to get a break from being a mom for one night. It helped me come back a better mom and wife. It is hard to believe I have been married for 5 years! It is so CRAZY to me. I love Ryan so much and I am grateful everyday that I get to spend eternity with him. I LOVE YOU RYAN! YOU ARE A GREAT FATHER AND HUSBAND!

summer of firsts

This summer has been full of firsts for Braxton. A couple of weeks ago he had his first popsicle from an ice cream truck. He got a big stick. Ryan was a work when this happened and he was pretty jealous. Ryan has never had ice cream from the ice cream truck. So everyday since Braxton had his ice cream we have been trying to catch the ice cream truck for Ryan. Finally after a week we were able to catch it. Ryan was so happy as you can see in the picture.



Braxton ate spaghetti for the first time Sunday night. I made sure to put extra sauce on his plate so that I could get cute pictures. I think I accomplished my goal.




For my Grandpa Steele's birthday we ate at Village Inn and went to an Orem Owlz baseball game. It was so much fun! My Dad, Ryan, and Ashley took turns walking and playing around with Braxton. I was grateful the opportunity I had to just sit and watch the game while others attended to him. The game went for 11 innings but Ryan made us leave after the 10th. We had a lot of fun and I am glad we were able to be with my grandpa to celebrate his birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!
