2 Years!

2 years ago today Payden and I got Married and Sealed in the Rexburg, Idaho temple. It has been a very full two years with lots of things happening! We even have a 1 year old in all that time. Holy Cow! haha Life is wonderful and perfect being married to a man that I love love LOVE so incredibly much! I have been so blessed and continue to be each day with a life full of happiness. I love you Payden. You are my Mr now and forever. Thank you for all you do and for loving me so deeply and giving my your eternity.

1 Year Old!

Here are the pictures from Braylie's one year old photo session. She was pretty good. Not that happy though and just wanted to play instead of sit still. Overall she was good and I am so happy with how the photos turned out!!! Her hair drives me crazy with some of the headbands but its my fault for seeing it during the session and thinking it wouldn't be that bad and not fixing it. Oh well. haha

These are my favs of each outfit :) ENJOY!
I really hate how slow uploading pics is on blogger so...
To view them all go here.

Always learning!!!

Last Saturday night Braylie learned how to drink out of a straw!!! I know this is kinda lame as far a milestones but we were pretty excited that she can do it now. It's not perfected yet... she leaks fluid when she swallows about 50% of the time but its a start. :)

AND... she will now drink her whole milk without flavoring it with chocolate or strawberry nesquik. That's so nice too! :)

The things you get excited about as a mother... haha

I'll try and put the picture up of this last weekend soon!

This weekend we are going to palisades with Payden's family and then heading straight to my parents for a week before they head off to Alaska. I'm so excited to have time to spend with Payden and our families! Should be a great vaca with a lot of boating with both fams! I can't wait!

Summertime water fun!

Rexburg has a pretty cool Splash Park at Porter Park really close to our apartments and Braylie loves playing there! She has always loved water, bathing, playing and drinking it! Here she is basically doing all three! haha

The Friday of 4th of July weekend, we wanted to go to Bear Lake with Payden's brother's family really bad but just couldn't get ready to go on such late notice and with Payden being in school. So Payden took Braylie and I out to the Sand Dunes in Saint Anthony instead where they have a little lake thing. It was fun and Bray loved the sand.. :) Mom and Dad had fun Playing in it to! :) Here are the pics:


I seriously love this picture of the two of them!^



She was helping Daddy dig for a second and then decided to just crawl through it haha :)

So Behind!

I have been awful lately at updating and putting new posts up. I don't even want to get into how behind I am on pictures. Yuck. So I promise here in the next couple days I will have a huge post that will be annoyingly long but very needed. In the meantime,
Braylie started walking!!! I know I've posted about this briefly but she has really gotten pretty good! Being around her older cousins really helps I think. She also turned 1 YEARS OLD last Friday!!!! I can hardly believe it but it must be true! Now her milestones will be saying different words and being able to communicate better :) She is so stinkin cute and I swear I love her that much more every day! She is pretty busy though and sometimes that can be a lot to handle but I love it. I seriously don't even understand why I go to church anymore. That is probably the worst place for her at this age because she needs to sit still and be quiet and the only time that happens is when she is sleeping which she will only do at home in her bed. NOT in Mom's arms. ugh Oh well, it's a stage and another 6 months and she will be in nursery :) or at least she'll be allowed into nursery... haha

This last weekend we went to Montan and went camping and Payden had his football game and then my parents and sister and her family are coming this weekend for Braylie's birthday party and to visit. :) I can't wait! I'll try and get up to date before they come so after they leave I can post birthday photos and pics of the weekend! See ya soon.... hopefully!
