Brayden turned 3 years old yesterday!!!!
He loved every second of his special day!!

{Adventures of.........}

POTTY TRAINING!!!!!

Eeekk!!! We finally decided to FORCE it upon Brayden and do the whole

potty training thing! If not, we figure he'll be a 40-year old in Diapers!!!

No, he just is a very easy-going(Lazy/busy boy) kid who doesn't want to

take 2 seconds out to take care of much needed business. So, because WE are

such fabulous and mean parents we decided now it the PERFECT time(for us)!

We've been at it since Friday and it's still in the process so stay tuned!!!

(Do you think he'll hate me for posting this picture?? :))

{Jaxton @ 3 months}

This past week Jaxton turned 3 months!

I just can't get enough of this little guy!!!

He brings so much joy to our family and is such a happy boy!!

Some things about him @ this stage:

He likes to stand up and is very strong.

Can still sleep anywhere and through anything(mostly loud siblings).

Has already become a drooler(no teeth though thank goodness).

Likes his face covered when sleeping.

Isn't he just the cutest thing??? :)

{More House Pics!!!}

Finally I'm getting around to posting more pics of the house!!! Yay!!!
I'm not finished decorating of course but I'm having fun!!!


Here's Kaydree's room~ I love the colors!!

And the boys' room!! Brayden is using the top bunk part right now until Jaxton's out of a crib but he loves having a big boy bed!

Here are some pics of the entry and hallway!! I love the floors!!

{Easter Season}

The Easter Bunny came!!!

........And brought the kids lots of goodies!!

Jaxton modeling his new crocs!! Our fave shoes for summertime!!

They're sooo tiny!! :)

This Easter was alot of fun!! It was super relaxing! We watched conference, went for some car rides, and ate some yummy food!!!

For Easter dinner we went to Austin's parent's house!!

Austin's mom and Aerika made this cute cake!!!

And the weekend before we had an easter egg hunt!!

Notice Kaydree's awesome outift and her determination to find the eggs!! I

couldn't get her to stop to take a picture. :)

And Brayden's reaction to finding out there was candy inside the eggs!! :)

Grandpa did a good job of hiding the eggs!!

It was a great weekend with family and remembering the Savior's sacrifice for us!!

{Birthday Girl!!}

Kaydree is 4!!

On Monday, Kaydree celebrated her 4th Birthday!!!

It started off with Breakfast in bed, after I woke her up.

She was being extra silly in these pics!!

Before Austin headed out for work she got to open up some presents that my fam mailed for her.

She loves the mermaid toys from my Aunt Judy!!

Then, for her party we all went bowling!! She's been begging to go! It was Kaydree and Brayden's first time!!

Brayden loved it...until he decided to guard the bowling balls from everyone else. :)

Uncle Aaron surprised her with her own movie since he's the movie guru!
And just for fun!!!....this was what we saw on our drive home!!

Happy Spring Everyone!!!

{Last Family Winter Outing}

On Saturday we took one last winter outing with the family to the local ski hill since it's closed for the season and did some snowmaching, tubing, and for the brave...snowboarding(it was pure ice!!). And to finish off the day, we cooked some hot dogs!! It was a fun day with the whole fam!!

Brayden and the snowmachines!! He begs to go everyday!!

Kaydree hiking up the hill and even carrying her own tube!!

Jaxton all bundled up. His famous scowl everytime the hat goes on!!


And Austin attempt at tubing. He started at the very top of the hill and was hauling!! At least he was prepared with his helmet. And I'm happy to report no visit to the Urgent Care!! :)

Aaron after tubing down the hill.
