Braxy's B-day, Fall and Halloween

First, I just want to apologize for picture and update overload. It's obviously been a very long time since I updated the blog. School has been kicking my butt (I designed 6 full blocks for Ogden city) and I don't have a lot of spare time. But here are some short updates.

Braxon turned 2! We had a little party for him at my parent's house. Chris family came and all of Braxon's grandparents and great grandparents were there. Chris's family came all the way from Colorado and Nebraska to celebrate the little nugget's b-day and see Chris run the St. George marathon. We had a good time with them and Braxon picked up a few choice words from Chris's mouthy grandma. Braxon's big presents were a basketball hoop and a kitchen. He loves them both! He goes from shooting hoops to cooking us plastic fries and hotdogs. He puts on the oven mit and he's set!

The next few picutres are just random things we've done this fall.

We went to Lagoon for Frightmares with my family because a lot of my family works there. They had a trick or treat "Spookaboo" for the kids where you walk around to different Halloween scenes and get candy.

Braxon loves "rakin leaves" as he puts it. He has a mini broom that he uses as a rake and he jumps in them. Logan is so pretty in the fall and I love living on a street with tons of trees!

Chris ran the St. George marathon in 3 hours 40 min. His family came down to St. George with us and Chris was really excited we all came to see him race.

My brother Matt, and his fiance Ashley (Gumbi) took Brax trick or treating. Braxon kept looking up at Ashley and saying "Hi Gumbi!" Matt got home from Iraq a few weeks ago for all of you that know him! We're excited and relieved to have him home!

For Halloween we helped Chris's stepdad campaign for city council (he won by the way). We passed out fliers to people and then we took Brax trick or treating. He was Batman, and yes, I didn't have time to make the Batman symbol on his shirt! I'm such a good mom.... But he was so cute trick or treating. He would say "I'm Batman" in the voice that what's his name says it in in the movie. Then we went down to Bountiful so my family could take Braxon out for a bit. Braxon was so confused by "Gumbi". My brother's fiance dressed up like Gumbi and Braxon kept looking at her and shrugging his shoulders and asking where Ash was. Then he would hold Gumbi's hand and say all sweetly "hi Gumbi!" We had a good time and Brax got lots of candy for me to eat!! That sounds bad but Braxon really doesn't like candy that much. He gets it from Chris.

The next day was not so good.... We went to my grandparen'ts house and Braxon feel into the exercise bike and hit his head. It was bleeding everywhere and his hair was soaked in blood. Luckily my aunt who is a nurse was there and she got it to stop bleeding saying "it's not that bad, it's just a little cut." I was thinking yeah right! His whole back of his head is bloody! But sure enough it was just a little puncture so no stitches. Phew! On the way home however I ran into more bad luck... I hit something on the road and popped a tire. By the way we just got new ones 3 weeks ago. Luckily we bought the road hazard warranty so we got a new tire for free.

We've had a good fall so far and hopefully this nice weather will continue. I am working hard in school and Chris is working hard for Jette Youngblood real estate. We're loving the holidays and excited for more!
