Baby Brayden

This is Brenda and Brayden.  Brenda is one of my best friends from high school and it so happens that our little boys are exactly 4 weeks apart.  Little Brayden is such a cutie!  And I can't believe how much they grow in such a short time....I seriously have a hard time believing that Tylor was ever that small even though I know he was.

Bulemic blogging....

I haven't blogged in far too long....ugh.  So there will be several more posts hopefully in the next couple of days...things have been a little crazy chasing my dad and trying to keep up with life in general.

1st camping trip

We took Tylor camping for the first time July 9 and 10.  He seemed to really enjoy it.

He slept most of the way up.  Isn't he so sweet?!  I love watching him sleep...It's so peaceful!

Watching Daddy!  He does this a lot.  It's so precious.  I'm sure this is the beginning of many years of watching Daddy.

Matt.  So excited to go camping.

Matt insisted on taking his new chainsaw and when we found this tree across the road he was grateful he did and so was I.

He love, love LOVES being outside.  There are several days that I take him for walks and he cries when I take him out of the stroller to come in the house.  I enjoyed this picture because Grandpa was telling him about the trees and the different noises.

All bundled up...perhaps a little much but I wanted to make sure he was warm. I didn't get a very good picture of his little stocking cap.  My little 7 year old niece made his little hat on one of the little looms.  We had a great time and are hoping to go again before it gets to cold.

Kingsford Family Reunion

My foster mom's family reunion was the end of June.  Tylor and I went while Matt fixed fence.  I snapped a few pictures.

Uncle Earl telling about the bowl he had turned for the auction.  Every year anyone can donate items for the auction the money is used to support missionaries and the family new letter.

Aunt Martha updating the family directory to make sure she has everyone's addresses correct.  Also pictured are Kacey and Aunt Joann.

Mom working hard as normal!  Cleaning up the leftovers from the potluck.

It was so fun to see Uncle Keith I haven't seen him in years!  I know your not supposed to have favorites but I would have to say he is my favorite.  Still such a sweetheart!!!

Matt's birthday

Matt's birthday this year was low key.  We had burgers and potato salad for dinner and hung out with family.  He got lots of fun stuff including leather working tools...I think he may have a hobby for this winter now!

I had been planning his birthday cake for a while before his birthday.  I was way excited because it was Peanut Butter Cup.  I found the idea on the Idea Room.  It was really good...Really RICH though.

He he he he.  I was trying to get a picture of Matt kissing Tylor but he wouldn't let me.  So instead we got this!

I love him and am grateful to get to spend his special day with him!  He is so good to Tylor and I!  He has been working his rear end off putting in lots of hours between the farm and Valley so I can stay home with our sweet boy.  He is so playful and keeps life interesting.  He works hard even when he's not at work, always going with his projects or creating new ones.  I love you babe!!!
