Spaghetti Sauce

The weekend before our big trip to California I scored an awesome deal from Bountiful Baskets for some cases of roma tomatoes So of course I got them and Mom and I busted our fannies and canned spaghetti sauce for days. It is so Yummy and we are now restocked for the year!

Grandma And Grandpa Angus come to visit

The First part of our Busy September My Dad and his wife Linder came to stay with us a couple of Days. It was a busy and relaxing few days with them. On thursday we took them to the Utah State Fair with the kids. It was fun we were there for 6 hours and could have stayed longer if the little one would have held out
We ate at del taco twice and in and out twice (these are 2 of my dads favorite places to eat that they dont have back home) then on Friday nigt Brooks, Dad Linder and I went to the Rascall Flatts concert. Despite getting completly rained on and totally drenched before the concert we were moved from grass seats to reserved seats and had a fabulous time. It was a great few days.

Little Hands on the Farm (My Favorite fair exhibit and the kids LOVE it)










Our Cousin and talented photographer Whitney entered a pic of Brax in the fair. I think she should have one a blue ribbon but the judges must have been blind or something

Braxtons Birthday

Monday the 29th was Braxys actual birthday. He and I got up and headed to the zoo for a few hours. It was so fun to just be me and him. We rode the train 3 times went on the merry go round and had ice cream and a cold drink together.












After we went to the zoo we came home and brooks and I gave Brax his present which of course was a big set of tractors. The three of us sat and played tractors for a hour or so and then headed to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Beattie.


After dinner Grandma Joy took Brax to Build a Bear and he made a camo bear in a fooball outfit (cant find those pics will post when I find them) We had a fun birthday with Brax and cant believe he is 3.

Braxton turns 3!!!

I have other things I need to blog about to but lets start with what is recent and I can remember ;) This past Saturday we had Braxys Birthday party. It was so much fun. Brax decided he wanted to go with the cowboy theme so we did. We decided to have dinner and just feed everyone. We had yummy pulled pork sandwiches, salads, chips, bottled root beer (I originally wanted bottled but couldnt find it anywhere so I decided to make homemade but when we went to costco saturday to pick up the cake brooks saw the bottled and it made my day so we bought some and it was a hit)
We also had the usual bounce house we borrowed from Grandpa Lane. The kids always have fun with it. All of our family and friends we invited came. (we did however miss grandma and grandpa Beattie who had prior engagements, Sarah who had another party to go to and Hank and Whit who had a busy Saturday!) The kids broke open a pinata full of treats and Brax got more trucks and tractors then I know what to do with however he plays with all of them every day. It was so much fun. We are sp greatful for the support of our friends and family and are so blessed to have this sweet child in our home.
The Watering Hole (and a special thanks to my sweet cousing Whitney Hutchins for making my Darling signs for me because I am not Savy like that. She also made Braxys adorable invitations!
