Myself and my family had a great time as we always do going to Redfish Lake. Kids love to stay up late and roast marshmellows and go on adventures. We saw lots of deer, which Brax loves, he even spotted some all by himself, he has eagle eyes! Heres is Brett's new little friend on his shoudler. This little guy came to our camp and was fearless, climbing all over anyone who even smelled like they might have any food for the winter!
When we are in I.F. we always go to the zoo. It is such a fun little one. We got to go with Brett's sister Nic and her hubby Christian. Our kids love them, so it was great to be able to spend time with them!
Here are some pictures of the cutest matching outfits ever made! My mother-in-law is amazing, she made these with one good hand, and one hand with 17 stitches in it! Thank you, thank you, thank you! My bro had a Hawaiian themed wedding and the colors were pink and brown, so I was in a pickle trying to find matching outfits when I found this fabric online and called Cathy to beg. Luckily she just whipped these out in no time, you are the bomb! Will post wedding pics.
While I do enjoy spaghetti sauce, it is just the brand I like the best in this case! YIPPEE FOR BABY NUMBER 3! We are expecting our little bundle of joy at the beginning of March. We are very excited! I have been very ill, but luckily for the worst of it we were in Idaho, so I had tons of help! Big thank you to my parents, to my wonderful husband and my fantastic kids!
As I was holding my sweet sons hands while drifting off to sleep he says, "goodnight Mom, I love you," as he usually does. Then he continues..."Mom, when we wake up tomorrow I am going to do lots of things that will make your heart super happy, okay, lots of lovie things likes hugs and kisses and those kind of things (and here is the kicker), I am going to CTR, cause that's what good boys do!" Talk about melting my heart! He is the greatest! Just had to share.
On the other hand there is more and more drama from the little princess! Her favorite word is, "No," and "Brax," inevitably in the same sentence. She is really picking on up things and finally getting some hair, yippee! She loves playing with her bro, and they are for the most part good to each other. She loves to jump and dance, especially twirls with a frilly dress on!
I am by far the luckiest Mom ever!
One of our favorite places to go in Idaho is Redfish Lake. We bust out, "the bus," as Brax calls it (the huge R.V.) pulling the jet skis and Jeep, it is quite a train and long trip, but well worth it! There is a beach for the kids and a cute little lodge and store. Brax loves to go there! We had a chipmunk, "a munk," as Joz calls it and when Brax was her age he called it, "a munkchuck," eating out of our hands and climbing on us, it was hillarious! We always see plently of deer and the kids get really excited to see them. Braxton has the best eyes, he spots them before we do! Pictures to come...
I cannot believe I have a four year old....that means I am just getting older. It is hard to recall this special day 4 years ago in Pocatello (actually tomorrow, but we are celebrating it today). It was the best day ever, I held a beautiful 6.11 oz baby boy in my arms for the first time, exhausted of course and a week late, but well worth the wait and everything else that went wrong that day! He is such a joy in our life and I am so lucky to be his Mom, what a honor and a privilege. We had a little get together today at the lake with some families to go jet skiing as that is his favorite thing to do! We are then going to Chuck E Cheese's, another favorite of his. We will probably do the presents and stuff tomorrow. He is having like three parties...crazy. One today, one tomorrow, and then one with my family in Idaho! He is so funny and so darn sharp it is scary...for example as he was naming off LOTS of things that he wanted for his birthday we asked him, "if you could have one thing for your birthday, your most favorite thing that you want so bad, what would it be?" He thought for a second and then replied, "one thing....I would like lots of presents." Smartie pants. Anyway, we sure love our best little guy, he is awesome!
