Squaw Peak

Today Ryan wanted to go and find some snow. So we headed up to Squaw Peak to see if we could find some. Also, we decided that since we will be up by some pretty leaves we would take some pictures of Braxton in his Halloween costume. It was a cold but beautiful day up there. Once we got out of the car Braxton saw a big puddle and wanted to throw rocks into it. It was a big mistake to let him because then that was all he wanted to do. We tried to pull him away and take pictures but he was tired. We decided to skip nap time and he was super ornery. I was disappointed that we didn't get any good pictures but at least we were able to find snow for Ryan.

Braxton's glazed donut

Today while at the store we were walking past the donuts and Braxton started freaking out. He really wanted a donut. He had been really good all day so we decided he could have one. When we got home I gave it to him and he loved it. Surprisingly he couldnt finish the whole donut which is good because he had dropped it on the carpet and it was covered in hair. Luckily it didn't give him a sugar high and he went straight to bed.

Family Pictures

A little over a month ago Ryan's family had family pictures taken. Janae Campbell was the photographer and she did a really good job. However, I was really disappointed with how our individual family pictures turned out. My eyes were closed in EVERY SINGLE ONE! I decided that I would have my mom take some pictures for me. It was also a great time to get an updated picture of the entire family. I was so excited with how they turned out. We were able to get some really cute ones and my eyes were open in a lot of them. Jordan was there and we had him be in the pictures with us (just in case they get married). Thanks Mom and Ashley you did an amazing job!

Grandpa Walker

For the past year and a half we have been living in front of Grandpa Walker. We are living in his house and he lives in a little house behind us. He is letting us live here and in return we take him to church on Sundays and feed him dinner on Wednesdays. It has been a blessing to live here. Grandpa is 93 and until recently has been in good health and has been able to live by himself. Grandpa has been fainting a lot and his health is declining. The family has decided that grandpa is not well enough to live by himself anymore. So he moved in with his son Weber. Ryan and I are still able to live in his house. We are deeply saddened that Grandpa doesn't live here anymore. It is like a piece of our family is missing. We will miss him greatly and hopefully we will be able to go visit him often.

Pirate Island Pizza

Last night we went to Pirate Island Pizza to celebrate Ashley, Jordan, and my mom's birthdays. Ashleys birthday is on Sept 6, Jordan's is on the 10th and my mom's is on the 13th. It was a lot of fun. They have an arcade and a place for little kids to play. Braxton didn't have much fun though because he has a cold. We had a really good time as a family!

This is Ryan. these videos are part of a series of videos putting news to music. They are very funny. I am posting my favorite ones. Make sure you watch them because I will probably ask you about it. You know who you are.
