Kyle went to Minneapolis this week for a couple of days, while he was gone I took the boys and went with my parents to the Thanksgiving Point Gardens. It was beautiful! My Mom was surprised that I only brought a single stroller for Tyler. She said the gardens were acres and that Braxton would probably get exhausted walking so I rented a wagon for him. And I'm sure you can guess what happened. He wanted to walk the entire way and just wanted to pull the wagon. This was frustrating at times because he was kind of slow and kept running people over with the wagon. Dad was trying to direct Braxton and there were times when my mom and I would get ahead of them. So one particular time we stopped to wait for them to catch up with us, we waited and waited and suddenly we saw both Braxton and my dad in the wagon holding the handle towards them heading straight down the paved hill. I wasn't sure which one was the kid! My dad stuck his feet out to try and control the wagon from hitting people on the way down. You should have seen their faces as they saw this happening. My mom and I got a pretty good chuckle!

This weekend my cousin Jason had his homecoming talk, he just returned home to Idaho from serving his mission in the Ukraine. It was nice to see all the family, my Aunt Debbie flew in from Arizona, and a lot of my cousins were there so it was nice to catch up on every one's life and although we only went up one day, Kyle still managed to squeeze in some 4-wheeling time with the boys. They enjoy going to the farm, they love the animals!

Here are some pictures of our trip to Georgia we took in July to visit our Gardner side of the family. We'll try and catch you all up on the past month or so.










Okay, so we're new to this whole thing so please be patient with us as we figure it out.
We have family that lives around the country so we really need to get going on this. We would love to hear any advice or tips you might have for us.
