Like Father Like Son

So I married a guy who knows how to lounge and relax and Braxton has definitely picked up on that. B's favorite thing to do on a Saturday morning is watch cartoons on dad's bed, notice the bed is not mine nor the TV but they are dads. Of course Justin and I do not mind it means we also get to take it easy on Saturday morning and enjoy our time together. One of our favorite cartoons is Phineas and Ferb, on the Disney channel, even for adults that is a good one. There are of course other good things that B has learned and inherited from his father. One of which is his gorgeous blue eyes. We recently had our family photos done and I was so impressed with how blue his eyes are in the pictures. To see a couple of them go to this site http://www.sweethoneyphoto.com/blog/ she did a great job!

Hopefully B can also learn some things from me like music. He got to attend my 7th grade choir concert last night, which went really well. Afterwards he said "Good Job Mom" and "Thanks for the concert" how cute is that. I think he really liked running around with his Aunts and playing in my classroom more than the concert.

Mothers Day

Mothers day was great and I got what I have been wanting for a while now, a Bosch mixer, which is actually my birthday and mothers day gift combined but well worth it. So of course I had to try it out and was asked to make rolls for our mothers day dinner at Justin's parents house. They turned out great and I am turning into a cook, I hope. Braxton loved them so much he ate two on the way home, a 15 min. drive, and then the next day when he saw the bowl asked for more. For mothers day we had church, the priesthood all sang and Justin even went up, I was so pleased! Then I got to teach the Relief Society lesson on the prophets. For dinner we were lucky enough to spend time at the Jensen home for a great dinner and company. All in all a good day.

Another great thing is Braxton has figured out how to jump with his feet actually leaving the floor, it is the cutest thing to watch so I videoed it, only I did not realize that I can not change the orientation of the video so you will have to tilt your head.

And because he is so cute a picture of him jumping, I just love this one.

2010

So I decided to update you all on our year thus far. Not much went on in January and February we enjoyed the snow and Justin made sure to go skiing about every weekend. In March Braxton turned two and we had a fun family party with all of the great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins plus other family members. It was a blast and Braxton loved having everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to him.

For spring break we were able to go to Las Vegas and spend time with Justin's brother Chris his wife Shae and their darling daughter Lucy. Braxton loves Lucy and was constantly giving her hugs and kisses and making sure she was okay. While there we walked the strip saw some cool animals and enjoyed hanging out.

Blog Time

Well I decided it was about time to get on the blog-train and see if I can keep up a blog. Don't expect a lot from me or my posts but I will try to enter pictures and happenings with our cute family.
