Some videos of the little one.

Here are some videos of Brax. The first one is of his cool glasses. He thought that he was the coolest thing!

The other day Brax was OBSESSED with being out in the rain. He loved it for some reason. This kid LOVES to be outside all the time. The first thing that he wants to do in the morning once he has woken up is go upstairs and look out the windows.He's a goof, but I guess i shouldn't complain.

THE NEXT GALACTICO! Our little Brax loves to play soccer! YAY! I wonder if genetics really could have anything to do with it...... For those of you who don't know, Galactico is what they call the super stars of my favorite Spanish League team Real Madrid. One can hope right? There is a moment almost at the end of the video that he has a "Squirrel" moment. If you have seen the new movie UP you will understand. If not, basically, Brax gets distracted very easily, especially if there is a bird anywhere in the vicinity. In the video I think a bird landed on the power lines behind him and he immediately stopped and had to watch the birds. Gotta love him.

I guess these are just a small glimpse into how awesome it is to have Brax around. He makes every single day interesting and that much more fun. He is an absolute riot! 

Hey everyone! My blog store is now up and running - we still have a lot of work to do on it but i figured i should atleast open it for people to look at. Let your friends and family know about it!

He is ONE!!!

He is one, can you believe it! It flies by! He is dribbling a soccer ball already, gonna be our little soccer player! Anyway, thought I would throw some pics on real quick, let everyone see how much he is growing!

Dear Stephanie,

WE ARE ALIVE! We are just really terrible at blogging. The funny thing is we probably have tons to fill you in about, we just don't. So let's just catch up. So pretty much our lives are still boring. Braxtons first Christmas was pretty fun. Although he got three times more than anyone else in the family got (he's not complaining). In the past two weeks he has started crawling (he's moved out of the worm phase), clapping (he loves to do patty cake), waving (he does it backwards...so cute!) and is now getting his second tooth! We have now realized that we have to keep our part of the house ridiculously clean after a couple close calls with dog food and a candy wrapper. oops. He says "ma ma" when he eats and "da da" when he cries.....I guess thats sayin somethin.
He and Trapper are still best friends they eat the same food they smell the same its a beautiful friendship. He also has the ability to throw amazing tantrums that get him whatever he wants whenever he wants it. HE IS A DORK!
Nothing really new with us. We're both going to start going to school again. But as for now its just work......and thats pretty much it. Nothing all that exciting really.

How was your fall?

So we debated wether or not to blog about Braxtons first fall. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year, but Braxtons first fall landed him in the ER! Hope nobody thinks we are bad parents for this! We had braxtons car seat on the table and stuck brax in it without strapping him in, for just a split second we had our backs turned to grab the phone and WHAM!! He somehow squirmed his way out of his car seat and face planted into the hard wood floor. We were basket cases of course and had no idea what to do next. He hardly had any marks on his body and other than the 20 minutes of screaming he seemed just fine. But of course we were freaking out and wanted to take him to be checked anyway. He ended up being just fine luckily! We have definately learned a HUGE lesson from this and will not do anything like that again.



Other than that we had a great fall!!! I got dibs on making Brax a Utah fan, despite Jakes love for BYU and might I say, he is loving it!



We have gone to a few RSL games and we are loving the new stadium!! Braxton loves them. He loves the bright lights and all the people!



Braxton has developed this new obsession with sucking on his feet. His big toe is in his mouth every chance he gets!



Brax was a cow for Halloween and so was I!! haha (we have better pictures that we will put on the blog shortly)

Okay! So we are really slacking on this whole blogging thing but life is so crazy after you have a child. I can only imagine how it is going to be after two, three and four! It is so much fun though. Braxton makes us smile more and more each day. He is now 4 months old and weighs almost 16 pounds (75%) and he is 26 inches long (90%)! I cant believe how big he is and he just doesn't stop. It is so fun to watch him grow with the other kids I babysit that are around his age (he is by far the biggest)!! These are a few of the many pictures my sister took about two months ago. Thanks Lace!! He got his first haircut by Grandma Simons last week so we don't have to keep the comb over (hitler) look!

Its been a while.........

It has been far too long since Alex or I posted anything about our lives. Thanks to constant proding from certain friends I decided that I would spend a minute here updating everyone.

Basically since we moved back down we've been going a million miles an hour.

I am now working at 1800 contacts in draper. I love it. Its a great place to work.
Alex is doing day care with her sister. I think that's working out pretty well for her.

Braxton is growing bigger every day. Fatter too. He is the cutest kid on the planet! He loves to laugh and smile. Its amazing how much his personality has developed already. There are times that we get him to smile and he gets so shy about it he tries to hide his face in anything he can.

Trapper is trapper. Still hyper as ever. He is spending a lot more time outside now and I'm not to sure he appreciates that.

We will get some pictures up this weekend of braxton and some other things that have been going on.
