Catching Up...

We had so much this summer doing so many different things and so little time to blog so here is our summer in a nut shell... Brayden has loved being outside; playing on the park riding his bike, swimming and mostly just being with friends. We tried to capture as much as we could with pictures and video. He has turned into a ball a fire that can never be put out. He is always on the go which makes the rest of our lives a whole lot more interesting. As for Addy she is turning into a little diva who thinks that she should always get her way. It has been so much fun watching her go from a little baby to a whole lot of girl. She has learned to sit up, scoot herself around (no crawling yet), clap, gibber gabber a lot, but mostly fend for herself with B around. Addy is just a little thing but she sure knows how to through a fit when B takes her toys. As for me and Kyle, well Kyle is staying super busy with his calling, school and work. He has been to California a few times and New York a couple times this summer which makes for some interesting weeks while he is gone. I have been trying to keep up with B and hang on to Addy while on the run. I was called into the Primary Presidency and have loved every minute of it. I am super excited for B to come into Primary in January. It is crazy how fast he has grown up. So here are some pictures of our eventful summer...

Getting ready to ride our bikes over to go swimming.

Addy and Jayda hanging out. (Jayda is so cute with Addy)

Brayden hates taking time out of his day to eat. This is no joke. That boy hates sitting still for 2 seconds.


Briggs and Addy are such good friends already. Every time we put them down together they try to hold hands.

B and Trev at 7 peaks




Addy hates her head bands these days. We rarely get her to wear them anymore.

We spent a lot of time this summer with Family. I couldn't think of any better way to spend our time. We love going up to Midway to hang out with the Stoddard Family. We also love going to Idaho to play with the Woolf's. Brayden actually spent 2 weeks up in Idaho playing with Grandma and Grandpa while I got to come home and get some work done. Thank you Mom!!!

We also got to spend the day at Lava Hot Springs with Kyle's family. It was a little cold but a lot of fun.

For the 4th of July we went and hung out with some friends of ours and played some water kickball and had an awesome lunch.


I couldn't pass up putting this picture on here. They were so cute sleeping together at Grandma's house.


Brayden has gotten pretty crafty this summer wanting to finger paint, color and of course help me with whatever project I am doing.


Kyle has been so awesome and taken B golfing with him a lot this summer. Brayden actually got his very own set of clubs from Grandma and Grandpa Woolf for his birthday.
Addy's first time eating real food.

I guess she was super tired. Babies can sleep in the most uncomfortable positions.

B and the Addy's

B and Daddy playing with logs.

Addy's favorite food is peas!!


B trying on his tux for Justin's wedding. We ended up buying some suspenders. The pants were a little to big.





Brayden went to gymnastics and wasn't really feeling it and first and then he warmed up and loved it.




One of the million times playing out on the park.


Brayden Turned 3


We went to Brayden's favorite places to eat (Pizza Factory) for lunch and then went to Jump on it with Brandon, Jess, Jayda and Trev. They had so much fun playing and bouncing around. Trev came and had a sleepover and the next morning was party time.


Brayden is in love with Toy Story right now and so that is of course what he chose for decorations for the party.



We also went to Idaho to celebrate B's and my mom's birthdays.
Brayden got and oreo cookie cake from grandma and thought he was in heaven.

Addy and Addy taking a bath




We got to go see Brad Paisley again (3rd time) with some friends. We had a blast. The people around us were very entertaining
.

Mitch and Britt and my mom and dad came down for conference so we decided to get a hotel because Brayden loves them. I think that might even be an understatement.
Everyone got there swimming suits on and hit up the pool.


To afraid to jump so Grandpa gave him a helping hand.


We went over to Thanksgiving Point for some Halloween fun.

Brayden wanted so bad to be Iron man but hates face paint so Kyle was a good sport and got painted for B.

My good friend Shay had her little baby boy about 3 weeks ago and so all us roommates got together to celebrate. Congrats girl!

We had a little Pumpkin Carving party with our neighbors put on by Robyn. She did awesome and gave everyone a good time.
Thanks Robyn!


Happy Halloween


We tried on costumes to make sure they fit for the big day.
B is super excited to go Trick-or-treating and loves that he is a Pirate.

Cute pictures Michelle! Looks like you guys had a fun busy summer! Addy is SO cute. I love that she is a little ladybug too! Good job on their costumes!

That picture of the headband over the eyes cracks me up cause that always happens to Sophie too. I try to make sure she doesnt have one on before she goes to sleep so that doesnt happen but sometimes when it does its so funny/ sad! Especially in the car! haha.

Good job on the update! Its been fun seeing you!
