4th of July 2011 & Boston's First Haircut!!!!

Braxton has a festive red nose from a fall he took at the family reunion....it's not a scrape, but a burn.  I can't help but think he's adorable even with his silly nose owie!!

I'm pretty proud of my festive hair-bow~ I totally made it myself :)

Since we were up in Northern Utah for the wedding and family reunion it was natural to stay for the 4th of July.  We ended up going to the Parade in West Jordan, it was lots of fun....they had some great floats (one thing that I definitely miss about N. Utah parades)  Bands, dancers, all sorts of things to keep the kids entertained!  I took a gazillion pics :)  

Later we went to Josh and Lyndsay's for a BBQ it was fun!  Boston got his first haircut, he looks just like a little man!

We went to Josh Anderson's parents to watch the fireworks and have s'mores, Uh YUMMY!

Dunn Family Reunion & Family Pics

We headed to Northern Utah for a wedding a family reunion--It was very convenient to have them in the same weekend.  My cousin Andy got married to Jessie in the Bountiful temple on Friday.  It was beautiful, the kids were good, and it was great to see all my cousins.  The dinner was delicious~ Boston devoured everything he could....he did create a little bit of a mess in the process! The next day was the Dunn Family reunion in Kaysville.  Grandma Rae Harding was in charge of it this year.  It was lots of fun, the boys loved having so many friends to play with! :)   

Boston really enjoys eating corn on the cob!!!  

Scruffy felt like he should share the stroller with Boston! :)

 We took some family pics at a park in Kaysville while we were there....here are some of the best shots! :)

 The boys were in love with the ducks......half of the pictures they are looking at the ducks, not the camera!  Josh got some crackers from the car and we fed the ducks, it was great they would come and get it right out of your fingers. Braxton was enthralled with it all!

Josh's 29th b-day & Fathers day!

Josh had his 29th birthday on the 18th of June, he got quite spoiled, not by me, by him!  He's so funny he buys things then tells me that I don't need to get him anything.  Well that just isn't how it works around here!  So between the two events that are just for him, he got himself new golf clubs, new golf shoes, a month pass to Sand Hollow Golf Course, and a smoker ( for meats and such).  Then I got him 2 new pairs of shorts, some shirts, flip flops & two John Bytheway books.  He got a golf club cleaner set from my parents a golf shirt, and some flip flops.  He got a visa gift card from his parents.  So as you can see, he was not lacking in gifts even though the two events basically ran together!  

We had my parents over for dinner saturday, as a birthday/ fathers day dinner. This was what Josh dished me up as I was feeding Boston his mashed potatoes. 

 Braxton was using his cup cake sand kit to make us all cupcakes, he brought one to daddy,

 and to mommy!  Thanks Brax you are so thoughtful! :)

Schools Out!

 So it's officially summer in my book, Schools out!!! But we have been hanging out at my new school trying to get my room all set up!  Let me tell you there are lots of fun things to play on and with in a severe special education classroom..... Braxton found some balls that I haven't inflated yet, he thought they made a nice hat! :)

The mini trampoline oh boy they spend tonz and tonz of time on this....Boston loves to hold on and jump jump jump! 

We also spend lots of time out in the pool....of course i have no pictures in the actual pool, but I had promised Braxton that we could swim after his nap, then silly mommy couldn't find the pump to blow up the pool, so we improvised!  He loved it! :) 

Braxton is trying to blow up the pool!  Good Luck Kiddo!

Memorial day weekend family had come to st. George so all the kiddos got together and played.....Braxton and his cousin Ashlynn were inseparable!  They played in the sandbox and on the slide and swings....it was lots of fun! I had my camera, but didn't snap any photo's until it was time to go....

Sunday afternoon when we were headed over,  I love the hand under his chin! 

Braxton & Boston on the stairs

Boston LOVES the stairs!  He is a maniac, he;ll climb the stairs as fast as he can, turn around at the top hanging over the step and holler for someone to come get him.  It is the cutest happiest squill.  I've been working with him on how to go down, and Braxton has been watching closely.  A few mornings ago while i was doing the dishes i heard Boston hollering for someone to come get him, only to look ans see this....I grabbed the camera and caught this priceless moment.

Dinner Dilemma

Lately I've been in a dinner rut. You know when you make the same dinners over and over. Last night Josh wanted me to make this delicious pasta my mom had made last week. I didn't have the right ingredients so he looked up up a yummy summer pasta and made us a delicious dinner. So today I decided that I was going to make some new dinners this week! I found some really great recipes at disneyfamily.com So tonight I made chicken tostadas! Get the recipe here  They were delish!! Hopefully everything I try will be equally yummy!
