Summer Fun!

Summer took a long time coming but if finally feels like it's here! So to kick it off here are some things we have been doing:

Braylie was entertained with Daddy's big box

And Mommy closed her in haha


But she got out safe and sound and fast too! She is so smart!

Isn't she THE BEST!

This is a gift I made for Payden for Father's day:




Braylie discovered and loves the toilet paper in the bathrooms. Let's just say the doors are always shut now.


We went to Montana with Payden's Brother and his wife and they're two kids Erin, Utahna, Mady and Abrum. This is Braylie asleep on the way there with my blankie I had when I was a baby. :)

On the way home from Montana we stopped at a Hot Springs. It was really fun. :)
Here's Payden and Braylie and then our niece Mady.


We took Braylie on the carousel in Porter Park (which she loved!!!!) and then to the Splash Park right next to it. First in her clothes and then got all motivated and went home and got in our suits and then came back! :)



And yesterday we had free lunch in the Park :) It's an awesome thing they do at the park for kids! :D

That's all for now for summer things but as far as updates with Bray.... She is SOOOOO close to walking! I keep having dreams about it that she is doing it! She stands up by herself all the time but it doesn't last too long. Like 10-15 seconds. But it's pretty cool. And the fact that she is doing more and more each day is awesome! Yesterday and today she has been taking steps here and there on her own!!!! I know I keep saying that I think it's coming but I really do think it's coming!!! :) here birthday is in two weeks from tomorrow!!!! And her cousin Dallon's Birthday IS tomorrow!! :)

Doesn't it look like these two have Soooo much fun!?! And it will just keep on going.. more and more fun as they keep growing!




Here's to more summertime - WALKING - turning 1 - and memories to remember forever!

<3>

Stand up...

Braylie has been standing a lot more on her own! I get so excited and SO PROUD of her each time she does it. Last night she did it like 12 times! I am thinking that walking isn't too far off but we'll see. She has to want to do it first. She is definitely strong enough and stable enough. She just needs to figure it out and be brave! :)

Peace. Love. & Anarchy.

It's Semi - Pro Football season and you know what that means.... Lots of sitting out in the cold on hard bleachers that hurt your back/running around chasing kids all over the sidelines of the football field.

This year Payden is playing on a team with his 2 of his brothers and his only brother-in-law. That makes for a lot of Toone boys and family out on the field. They play for the ARCO ANARCHY semi pro team.

What good-looking boys!!

We have a lot of fun as a family going to these games and watching the brothers play together!
This last saturday was the last game before Play-offs and Payden's brother Spencer came down from Salt Lake to play with his Bros. :) So that made 5 boys!! Holy cow! It was a lot of fun for them and fun for us to watch. WHAT A GREAT FAMILY!
The boys and their Dad... (We miss you Hank!)
So.. Because we won this last week and are like the number 1 or 2 seed in Playoffs... we are traveling to Bitterroot Montana. When we went to Montana during the season to play we did the trip in one day of 5 hours of driving one way... this time I think we are going to make it an over night adventure. It wasn't bad to do it all in one day but none of us really want to do it again. haha

Football is a lot of fun in the Toone family! It's part of what makes us US! :)

Here are some pics of the last couple games and at Pickles restaurant after the game eating:
