He's All Boy!

Last week alot of women in the ward got together and all took our kids to Tumbleweed Park in Chandler. It was a little bit of a drive, but I think it was worth it. This park was HUGE and was covered from the sun (SO NICE) and had so many different toys for kids of all ages to play on. We stayed for about 2 1/2 hours, and all the kids still had a hard time leaving cause they were having so much fun. This picture doesn't do the size justice, and its only one part of it, but at least you get the idea of the theme of it all...

Braxton loved climbing all over the kiddie cars and trains. He spent some time on the swings and on the big main jungle gym, then spent the rest of the time chasing birds and seeing how far he could run away from mommy before she caught up with him. A bit harder now that he is starting to run and I'm getting fat!

He also loved this wobbly walkway thingy. I think he thought it was a trampoline or something.

B-rax loves the dogs! He goes up and just gives them the biggest hugs. Marley tends to take it better than Lou. Maybe cause he's a bit bigger? Braxton spends so much of the day just chasing them around with his toys. He gets a kick out of it when he scares them and they bolt off in the other direction. My poor baby girl. I wonder what he will do to get a reaction out of HER when the time comes...

Braxton's latest love? Any cooking utensil big and black. He won't put them down! I usually have to pry them out of his hands after he falls asleep for his naps or at night. I don't know what his fatuation is with them, but he can't get enough of them. Here he is with his two faves: The ladel and a spatula

My sweet boy loves to pose for the camera!

Here are just some random pics of Braxton playing in the backyard on different days. He would spend all day every day out there if I let him! He just loves being outside.

He dumped the dogs water all over him so I had to take his pants off - hence he is not wearing any in these first few pics. And he is still so adorable in his onsie and moccasins G-ma Bibi sent!

Just chill-axin' in the cool winter weather!

Teasin' the dogs...again...

And finally, my son has mastered the doggie door and now thinks it is his primary mode of access to the backyard. Its cute, but not when I block it so he can't go out and forget its on...only to wake the next morning and find the dogs have used my carpet as their bathroom. UGH! Guess it comes with the territory...
