Brexon is one!!!

Happy Birthday to my little Brexon Boy!!
We had 3 parties, one with the Renchers, one with the Tuckers, and one with Chuck E Cheese!

It was soo much fun. We love this little guy so much, and can't believe he's already one!

Viva Las Vegas

Brady and I took our first trip away from Brexon a few weeks ago. While he played with Grandma and Grandpa, we went to Vegas to watch the BSU vs UNLV game. My dental supplier gave us free tickets and a discounted hotel room if I went to their CE class. Since Brady had that thursday and friday off of school, we couldn't pass up the opportunity. We decided to drive through Utah so we could go to the temple and see Brittany and Carlie.

Brittany's little boy Zander was so cute. He is only 5 months and weighs 20lbs! He did not like me holding him and kept staring me down later, worried that I'd take him again. Sorry little guy!We got to go to the St George temple which was the best part of the trip. I LOVE this temple! I miss living in St George and it was such a beautiful night.

Friday night we walked along the strip and went to Fremont street. We got some fried twinkies and fried oreos. Sound good? Well then you are mistaken. They are disgusting!! -soggy with grease :(

Here is the aquarium at Caesar's Palace. And here is the small show they do at Caesar's Palace.We also saw the Volcano, Belagio fountain, Circus Circus shows, and the Venetian.

On Saturday night we had a big tail gate with the dental supplier and then watched the game. It was so much fun! The night was cold but worth it! We finished the night off with some midnight bowling at our hotel (and yes I brought my bowling shoes and saved three dollars!) Luckily the bowling alley was smoke free, which I think is the only place in all of Las Vegas that is smoke free.It was a nice weekend away. We were so thankful that my parents watched Brexon and took such good care of him. He didn't even punish us when we got back, he was just happy as could be. Such a good boy!

First Halloween!

Brexon's first Halloween was great! We dressed him up in three fun costumes and partied hardy. First he was a turtle and we went to two young married parties. Since Brady is going to be a Pharmacist, he dressed up as a drug dealer, and I was a tooth fairy since I am a dental hygienist. Therefore Brexon is probably going to be a marine biologist. (at least we didn't doom him to be a fast food worker by dressing him in the hot dog for the parties.)

Then we dressed him in a lion costumed and he really took to it. He really liked to roar (well squeal is more like it.)

Then for our ward Trunk of Treat Brexon was a little hot dog.

Here is our family portrait pumpkin.We had a blast and topped it all off with Young Frankenstein and caramel apples. We hope you had a fun Halloween too!

Here's a little update on Brexon. He is now 9 months and so much fun! He is army crawling everywhere, loves being tossed and flipped around, and loves running while we hold his hands.

These first two pics are from his 6 month photos.

These are pics we took at Albertson's Park for his 9 month photos.

He is growing fast! Here are his 9 month stats:
weight-17 lbs 8%
height-29 in 73%

Cabin Fun

We've been to the cabin a lot this summer. This was the first time we took the boat.

Brex didn't like the boat too much but then fell asleep and did great!

We just love spending time with my family and relaxing at the cabin. We'll be sad to not have as much time off to party this fall.

Can't get enough Mississippi!

I had the last week of July off and kept begging Brady to let us do something fun. So when we found out on Saturday that Brady didn't have to work that week either, we started looking for something to do. That night we looked for tickets to mississippi just for fun but found a good deal. So two days later we flew off to 'sippi to have a sweet vacation with Grandma and Grandpa.We took a few family pics at the swamp

Grandma and Grandpa took Brex to the Children's Museum to take some fun pictures.Here's the life size scrabble board

We sure miss Grandpa and Grandma!! We are so glad we got to see them on our week off. It was a quick but fun trip! We can't wait for them to come home!!!
