Lagoon Part 2

Yikes! This is from so long ago!!!! I uploaded the pictures, but am just barely getting around to posting these. If you see the guy in the black shirt next to a little blonde head, that is Billy and Brooklyn. I thought Brooklyn was so brave to go on the pirate ship. She really liked it and went on it a couple times. You can tell from the clouds in the sky it got pretty stormy that day. We ended up getting caught in a HUGE downpour. I was with Brooklyn over in the kiddy boats when it started. I ran and got her out of the boat and we ran to the bathrooms and hid out in there for about 20 minutes. Billy had Landon and Brayden and made a run for it with the stroller back to the camping site. My sister Desi was sweet and came and picked Brooklyn and I up at the entrance so I wouldn't have to carry her all the way back to the camp site. Here is Desi and Brayden on the swings. Desi is moving with her hubby Pete to Arizona. I don't know what I'll do with out her when we come home to visit. The kids ADORE her.

Oops- sorry Billy- didn't realize this was such an awesome picture of you. This is the one ride Landon went on- the little train that takes you past the really stinky animals. He had fun on it though and was such a little trooper the whole time- even though he was stuck in the stroller for most of it. He even did great sleeping in the tent.

So, in 12 more years watch out because these two will be on the road.
They are some crazy drivers! (Brooklyn and cousin Maren)

This was Brayden's favorite ride. The whole time he was saying "This is totally awesome! This is the best vacation ever! This is totally awesome!"

Brooklyn is really into ponies right now, so she was so excited to go on the merry go round. I couldn't talk Billy into hopping on one though :(

So even though it was on the cooler side, we decided to ride on this one. Somehow, Brooklyn and I ended up right under the water fall. I pulled her under me and shielded her with my body and saved her curly pig tails. THAT is motherly love!

Isn't my mom the cutest thing ever?

And this is kind of a family tradition- but check Brayden out(bottom left corner), he totally had the "look." The end.

Brayden's favorite ride is my favorite ride! Although I did like the dragon one too for little kids. Looks like tons of fun.

Mini-Marathon

Brayden's school does a "mini-marathon" each year.  During recess, some of the kids choose to run.  For each lap they do, they earn a punch on their cards.  Brayden ran 27.2 miles!!!!  He earned a cool medal and certificate. We were so proud of him. I forgot how long his hair was!  He decided last spring that he wanted to grow it out until school let out.

 ....you can't take the country out of the girl. My parents' have pretty much the coolest place to visit...well, besides the beach or Disneyland... so we always have fun going back home to the farm.  Grandma Marie Bramwell- 89 years old!  Double Rainbow! Sunset over the Snake River  The only reason he is wearing a helmet is because he had to for his scouting belt loop.  We had to fudge a little bit- it's his bike helmet.  Billy has learned a thing or two from me :)

Eight is Great

Brayden got to celebrate his birthday at the happiest place on earth...Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he really wanted a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party.  Not the kind where you show up and mom orders pizza and brings your presents in, but an actual Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...
