Branson's 1st Haircut!

Ok, so this was like a month ago, but here is my baby's 1st haircut! I probably should have done it when he was born because it was over his ears and neck....but I was scared:)

The "Before" picture, he is such a happy kid!

Cutting his hair...I have no idea what I'm doing. Luckily it didn't turn out too bad!

Macie...doesn't she look old?!

This is the "After" picture.

Another "After."

Canning.....2010

I didn't get a whole lot of canning done this year. But I was able to do about 20 quarts of peaches, 15 quarts of green beans, and 14 quarts of apple pie filling(so delicious)!

Camping...

We only had time to go camping about 5 times this summer...quite a bit less than last year. This camping trip was up past Ashton at Reed's Uncle's property. We went with my parents and my younger sister, Sonja.

The lake was really low when we went, but me and Sonja wanted to go on the paddle boat. So Dad helped us trudge through knee-deep stinky mud to get it out on the lake. But.....it was too windy, so after Sonja and I were completely exhausted, and the boat not moving more than a few feet, Dad helped us get the boat back in......through the disgusting mud....in his SOCKS:)
Macie dragging Grandma around....she thinks she's the boss.
This is the little private lake. Very pretty, but way low right now.
This is a picture of my dad's feet after he helped us with the boat, haha!
Reed and Branson.

Zoo...

We went to the zoo a few times this summer, and Macie really liked it. She loved the monkeys last year, but not so much this time.

Watching the otters.
Branson Baby....t was really hot, so his cheeks are all rosy.
Looking at the wild dogs...I think.
Watching the lion...
And here's the Lion...Macie's favorite part of the Zoo!

Huckleberry Picking...

We haven't been able to go camping nearly as often as we would like this summer! It has been SO BUSY! So on Saturday, after a long day of canning beans, we had a couple hours to go and do something. So we called some friends to go with us up to Kelly Canyon area and pick HUCKLEBERRIES:) We didn't get a lot, but it was fun to get away for a little bit up to the mountains.

Me and my Baby that is growing up way too fast! He is rolling over now, and I don't know what to think about it.

This is Grandpa Jody's Mini-Me. I think Branson looks a lot like Reed's dad when he smiles like this!

Picking berries.

Just like last year.....Macie ate everything she picked...plus some of ours!

The huckleberries themselves:)

Growing up WAY too FAST!

I haven't been very good at taking pictures of my kids lately, so the other day I decided to get out the camera...even though we weren't doing anything "picture worthy":) Bu when I was looking at them later I realized how BIG they are both getting! My baby is almost 4 months old, and my 2 year old is HUGE! When did all this happen?

New Friend...

The other day Reed was raking some dirt up by the house and this little guy jumped out. Macie was fascinated by it until Reed made her touch it. She totally freaked out, ha ha!

6 Years!!

Reed and I have been married 6 years TODAY.....Happy Anniversary Honey! I just want to say that I am the LUCKIEST! Reed is the best, and I am so lucky to have him, I definitely got the better end of the deal. I feel so blessed to have him in my life. A lot has happened and changed in six years, and I can't wait to see what the next six years have in store for us. I love you Reed, Happy Anniversary!

Two year Pics........

Well, I have been trying to figure out my camera for the last six months......and I think I am STARTING to understand it...a little bit. Yesterday I took the kids to the park so I could practice my manual settings on Macie. I learned a lot, but still obviously have a long way to go. Again, Macie would hardly ever look at the camera...but I got a few shots that I thought were cute. Any feedback and suggestions would be GREAT. Thanks! Here is Macie at two years old.....

Two Years Old!

This last Wednesday Macie turned two years old. Reed was gone to scout camp all week, but was able to come home for her birthday:) We went to Rigby lake to have lunch and swim, and Macie LOVED it! Then after naps we went to Blast Off to play and have cupcakes. she had a fun and busy day, but I think the best part was Daddy coming home:) Happy Birthday Macie....We LOVE you!
This is Macie whining...she does this a lot.
Licking the bowl of her cupcake batter.

I think this was Macie's favorite present from us.
We got her some floaties for her birthday, and with them she could swim all by herself...so cute!
All by her self. Or in Macie's words, "I do it!"
All decked out in her floaties.
Branson...again, looking bored:)

He is such an easy and happy baby right now, I love him to death!
Blowing out her candles...it took her a couple tries, but she did it all by herself!
