October FuNN-

 Thriller!! Every year we head to the big city for Thriller and The Pie (they have the best cheese sticks) It is so fun to spend time with family and have a good laugh.

 Ha Ha This is at The Big Red Barn in Santaquin... Another family tradition during October. We take the hayride out to the pumpkin patch and get our pumpkins. Dad always has to get the biggest one!

 This year at the pumpkin patch they had a really fun slide. It was funny because Tayven only wanted to go down the biggest one and Brax would not even go to the top, let alone go down that slide..he stuck to what he knew was safe and enjoyed running through the maze (below).

Brax going down the small slide..can you see his face?? He is my little chicken, just a little more cautious about things. I love how different the boys are..So fun!!

-PreScHOoL-

Braxton had his FIRST day at preschool!! He is getting so BIG. I thought that it would be hard for him to go all by himself for three hours but not the case :) Teacher said he was good and when I came to pick him up he did not want to leave! I am so impressed at how big he is. I am so excited for him to start this new adventure and learn lots at preschool. He is so smart and could not be more ready for SCHOOL.

Toddler FuN!

Tayven is TWO!!! We had a BLAST Celebrating this big step into toddlerhood. Starting with fun at the ZOO! Tayvens favorite thing at the Zoo was the new and entertaining Polar Bear! He did not want to leave. They fed the bear while we watched it was so fun. We also got to show Dad the bird show. It was hard to get pictures but was really exciting.

 

After the Zoo Tayven got to check out the pet store, where we bought him a blue fish named FISHY. He loves his fish and even thinks he needs dinner...three to four times a day. Monday we had friends and family over for ICE CREAM and Dutch Oven Cobbler. Tayven opened his first present and was done :) so Mom and the cousins got to open his presents. I am thinking that the TERRIBLE TWO's have already set in.

 

We had a very fun and eventful weekend of TODDLER FuN! I am loving the age that Tayven is, he is such a fun addition to our family. He is very sweet, he says sorry even when it is Braxton's turn to say sorry. He is always giving hugs and usually has has a smile on his face. He is happy with whatever you give him, 100% boy and can come up with the funniest things to say. I am looking forward to our time together while brother is at school and the years to come. Happy Birthday Tay man love yaa!!

(Tayven in his super costume and his fishy..of course)

Tayven

Where to start.. Tayven thrives on the chase, he is outgoing and usually can be found in things he should not be in. As crazy as this little guy is I actually love that he keeps us on our toes and mostly that he and Brax are so different. The other night we were up the canyon after a couple rain storms and Tayven found what he likes to call Chocate Water...It was so fun to watch him charge through the mud puddles with a grin on his face. It was all i could do to get him to the next puddle so we could keep moving..It was not until we were about ready to go that Brax decided maybe it looked a little fun. Brax asked if he could try it and he proceeded to tiptoe in with caution. (I loved it!) this small experience showed a tee both of their personalities. Tay a little more adventurous and Brax cautious and putting thought into each adventure.

Tayven's talking is so fun and makes me remember how fun his age is. Although love you mommy is probably my favorite, he can  not help but pick up the naughty words like stupid mommy...(this morning when I was singing to him.) He also is 100% if not more boy.. Shooting bears, Motorcycles and dirt are among many of the boy things that he loves!! He is really easy going and good at sharing. I am happy this wild yet sweet boy is a part of our family. We love and enjoy him very much.

Braxton

It is crazy to think that I have a three and half year old. Especially because at times I feel like I have a teenager already! Braxton is so funny he likes being big, he is really smart and kind of sassy. Honestly I would say Brax is most like me..including some of my weaknesses, which can make him hard to reason with. He also keeps us laughing with some of the stuff that he comes up with. Some of the most recent things that I can think of are: One night we were at dinner and Brax needed to go potty. Ryan took him in the bathroom and held him up to his first urinal. Brax thought that this was pretty cool and said "Wow Dad, look at me go!" Ryan was not sure what to say but we had a good laugh about it later. Brax is a big movie guy. I love that I get to finally see movies like Star Wars and Transformers. He has such a big imagination and even in our night prayers we can not forget to mention we are thankful for the universe, aliens and bats?? Sometimes I wish I knew what went on in his little mind.

Braxton is about to embark on one of his biggest adventures yet: Preschool! It is funny how so many mixed emotions can go into it. I hope that he learns alot and that he enjoys learning. Mom is feeling stressed, excited and also a little like keeping him here in our home with me :) I am so proud of my handsome, smart little boy.

The Summerset's Maiden Voyage

 So we bought us our first campin' trailer! I could not be more excited.. It has been hard tenting our camping trips or flat our not going with the boys. We took it on our first adventure to Arizonia. It was a lot of fun and as you can see the boys are in heaven! Dirt, Food and more Dirt! Looking forward to many more summers in the mountains.

Solo Cup

The boys are growing so fast and it seems like the more they grow the less I document those fun spontaneous memories. Life goes on and we of course get busy but here is a little bit of this and that:one of our favorite hats that we get at the expo every year

I believe this is Braxtons Monster face..haha

Tayven

Drum roll...LADY A!!!!!!

I love life being the lady in my boys' life. I really feel so blessed the boys are so much fun and all of them keep me on my toes.

Braxtons funny things: still saying the darnedest things as he has since he was tiny. The other day we were in the restaurant and he just belted out Red Solo cup for all to hear..then we made a trip to Arizona and took uncle Jaxon, well Brax turns to him and says Jaxon..Lets have a party. haha (not the best song to love but he loves to sing it.) He is getting better at sharing and really can be a really good brother. His latest thing is telling people random made up things like..I don't love him and so on...Here we go.

Tayven: Still my go getter. He is all over and enjoying life. Honestly this is horrible but he is hard to get made at. Always so happy and the things he does naughty you can not help but grin back at him sometimes. He also is a persistent little thing; if I am doing the dishes or cooking and he needs my attention he will step on my toes until he has it..

writing this makes me realize how much I need to keep blogging and sharing the things we are up to because other wise I will forget! These are the days and I do not want to forget!
