We love the snow!!

This weekend it has snowed like crazy. We are so excited for the snow. We have had such a mild winter but now here it comes and we love it. We were ready for Brax to play in the snow except for snow boots. Luckily my mom was out shopping this weekend and was able to find some in his size. So Sunday Mike and I bundled Brax and ourselves up and went into the backyard for his first real time in the snow. He wasn't so sure about it but after a little while he came alive and was all about eating the snow of course. We made snow angles, even mom and dad did. When I laid him in the snow he was not having that, that's why he is crying in one of the pictures. It was so fun to be child like again. What a great time we had.

POLAR EXPRESS

Last Saturday my sisters and I took our kiddos down to the Heber railroad to ride the POLAR EXPRESS. I think for me it was more exciting than for Braxton. Since he is only One. I couldn't wait to have him wear his pajamas and slippers, just like the movie. It was so fun though, the weather was perfect. We waited in line to board the train, than got to pick our seats. The train was decorated with garland and lights. It was very festive. They gave us hot chocolate, cookies and the kids got a bell from Santa at the end. We sang Christmas carols and took pictures. My only complaint would be is that it did run a Little long, even the older kids were getting a little restless and the train was extremely warm. Oh and there is not bathroom. Not a problem for me right now, but they serve the hot chocolate at the beginning so some of the kiddos needed to potty. We took pictures in front of the train and then went out for some dinner. It was a great night!! Thanks ladies.

And more pics!!!!

Braxton"s Birthday pictures

Brax turned one on November 14, so we had his one year pictures taken. He is growing up so fast, I can't believe he is already one. He was such a trooper and loves to have his pictures taken. Such a little poser. Happy Birthday Bubba!!
