Mother's Day Weekend

For the last couple years, we've gone camping Mother's Day weekend. This year we stayed at the Provo KOA. There was an awesome jogging trail that took us on quite an adventure where we ended at a park. The picture of me and James standing in front of the water is actually right under the interstate. You can see the road above us. We also got to stand under a train that went by...that was a loud crazy feeling...but now we can say we did it.
We went to Thanksgiving point and walked through the gardens and to the Dinosaur museum. Braxton didn't like playing in the sand there...he said he needed to wash his hands. I still don't think he fully grasps the idea of dinosaurs...with skin and without. We toured Cabela's...and the next day we went to the Living Aquarium in Sandy. If you haven't been, we all thought this was a cool place to visit. It was a beautiful weekend...we always love our first camping trip of the year.

Wow! It's been a month since I posted and for some reason I think I have to have a picture with every post. So...I have lots of fun pictures, but they haven't ever made it on here cause it's more work to load the pics. I took pictures of our family in green for St. Patty's and Braxton eating his ALL green dinner. Lots of pictures of his and his niece's birthday parties. We have more than enough Easter and baby animal days pics...so one day now...maybe I'll even get around to scrapbooking them. At least blogging helps keep me more updated...or at least an intention to do so.
Spring is finally here and we are having so much fun playing and working outside. I figure we'll get it out of our system before it gets too hot...then we'll move on to the pool...right? This will be the most challenging year with Braxton, by far. He has hit the independence stage and wants to go off by himself to play. However, I think this will be the most fun year yet. He is so excited about seeing different things and he is SO excited for camping. We can't even say the word without him crying because he wants to go 'RIGHT NOW'. It got even worse when my dad came out this week to de-winterize his trailer and get it ready to go for the summer. We are looking forward to a summer full of fun activities and trips with friends and family.
