There's a FIRST time for everything...

and this weekend was no different.

Braedyn and I went to our very FIRST Demolition Derby.

It was completely Awesome, Loud & Exciting!

Waiting for the BIG event to start... in the HOT, HOT SUN!!!

The FINAL Demolition!!! 

Almost Rolled OVER!!

Some of the Wreckage!!

Waiting for the Crowd to clear up a little....  notice all the dust!!!

We went on a little adventure this week to Arimo, Idaho.  My Uncle Bill has lived there as long as I have had Breath.  (Practically)  It's time to pass on the good times that I always had at Uncle Bill's house to Braedyn.

We fed horses...  Rode on a Four Wheeler...  Went on a Photo Shoot...  Watched Loud Trains CHUG by... PLAYED and PLAYED and oh... PLAYED!!!  

 Feeding treats to Pup & Marvin the Mule.

I'm pretty sure this was Braedyn's Favorite part!

Sitting on Cousin Carson's little Motorcycle with his HUGE helmet.  
It fit him just right, but made him look like a Bobble Head Doll.



We had a SUPER fun

BIRTHDAY Celebration

at our house!!!

This year was really fun, because for two months before the party...  he kept saying,
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRAEDYN...  SURPRISE!"
And thanks to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Toodles, he knows all about celebrating a Birthday!

It's just hard for me to believe that he's THREE! 
2008 seems so long ago.

Decorating the House for the Celebration....  kind of!



Mickey Mouse Party...  Mickey Mouse Balloons!



The Party Guests...  Jaren, Brenley, Verdis & Atticus

Let me get at that Pinata!!!

Is this the string that will let me get to the insides?

Woohoo...  CANDY!!

COOL!!!

A Very Happy little boy among paper and bows!!

Braedyn's favorite cake is this chocolate cake, so we decorated it so that he could have a Birthday Cake with Candles.

MMMMMmmmmm  Chocolate Cake...  Chocolate Ice Cream!!!

Playing with a Birthday Present after the party!!!

Fillin' up the pool!

Extremely Tuckered out little THREE YEAR OLD!!!

Three years ago today, I held you in my arms...  All 8 lbs. 1 oz.  
You smiled at me, when I held you for the first time.  Do you remember the song I sang to you?  As you were growing inside of me, I sang you the same song.  When you're upset I sing it to you still. 

I love you with all my heart and every ounce of my being.  I love you to the moon and back down to the Earth... and then a whole BUNCH more.
You are my every breath!!!

Happy Birthday Sugar Pie!!!!

July is chalk FULL of Celebrations at our house!!! 

The first Celebration..  July 4th...  Accomplished and Super Fun!!!

It is always so much fun seeing everything again, through your child's eyes.

It makes everything FUN again!!!



Waiting for the Parade to start.  We made his patriotic "Fire Cracker" shirt!!!
