Barking & Yelling!

Okay so I had to post a couple of pics of the boys from Kody's baseball game. Brooklynd was cracking everyone up by barking (growling) at the dog...he only did it to the poodle in the picture below. It was hysterical, he would jump up and down while growling (rarr..rarr!)- it was so funny! Another funny thing that happened was when one of the other players parent said "Let's go Kody" and Braeden turned around and said that is MY Kody...like don't talk to him he's mine! Braeden took it upon himself to coach Kody, when he was pitching. When Kody threw a pitch that went a little astray, Braeden piped up saying "Kody, NO NO!" the crowd was laughing at the boys actions much of the game and it was hilarious. Braeden continued to say the funniest things and started the day by yelling "Hi Kody" in the middle of dead silence, while Kody was playing. It made Kody smile and didn't seem to distract Kody or his teammates too much! We all enjoyed ourselves and Kody's team won both games so the few sprinkles we encountered were all worth it!

We went out for the evening with friends and danced the night away and then I did a shopping excursion with a few close friends and dinner with my family...it was a long FUN weekend. Here are a few pics from the night out and the beach!

Papa Doug Visits!!

Grandpa meets Braeden...Braeden warmed up instantly and started calling him Papa right away!
Sunday we went to Bonneville Dam and the fish hatcheries the boys got to feed the fish and see tons of them and hang out with papa. Brooklynd was lagging behind (on purpose) and found a rock he though he might like to sit on :-)

Tried to get a group one facing forward at the end of the night, Braeden wouldn't get in the pic and Brooklynd wasn't having it...

Kim & Sean's Wedding

I have to begin by saying I had a lovely time with Kim & Sean and their families over the weekend. Our wedding weekend began on Friday with the rehearsal dinner. We had wonderful food (prepared by Justin - Sean's brother) and drinks and speeches, it was so much fun! Saturday was a busy day for me I had a pedi/mani appt. along with a baby shower and then off to the Edgefield to check in and get ready for the ceremony. The timing worked out perfectly. The wedding started about on schedule, I did a reading in it which I was super nervous for, but which turned out just fine! The wedding planner was amazing as were the bride and groom. Baby Grant did great with the exception of the ceremony, but that is too be expected and for such a long day with lots of people he was excellent. We were so blessed to be part of such a special couples amazing day! Congratulations Kim and Sean we love you! (I will steal a pic from Katie of you two soon...poor Sean isn't in any of the ones I've stolen or the few I took!)
