On Friday night we went to a Birthday dinner for Trista (our soon to be sister-in-law). Then we borrowed my dad's truck (Nate's was in the shop) and took Braxton to his First Drive-in. He was so good - he slept the whole time! I was pretty good too and slept most of the time (not on purpose though). We saw Toy Story 3 and Prince of Persia. We figured that since I don't get Saturdays off very often we would take advantage and stay out late! It was so nice to get out and do something different than what we usually do. It was so fun and the weather was almost perfect.
Saturday morning we took Braxton to his First parade - the West Jordan Parade. Hunt's Gym was in it so we figured it would be fun to go and support Lexi! What a long parade to see the person you came to support for 1 minute but it was fun and nice to just hang out together and with my family.
Lexi and Molly - TOTALLY embarrassed that they saw us
Braxton LOVED his flag
Taking a little break in the shade
Saturday afternoon after running some errands and dropping Braxton off at Grandma Donna's for a sleep over, Nate and I headed to Provo for the Stadium of Fire (Nate got me tickets for Mother's Day)! We thought that with all the construction on the freeway that traffic would be horrible so we left pretty early. Much to our surprise we got there in about 45 minutes. To kill time we went on a little shopping spree for Braxton. Babies R Us had a huge sale on clothes and decided to buy him some winter clothes and a few things for next summer and a new umbrella stroller! Nate then took me to dinner at Ruby River where I had one of the BEST steaks I have ever had! Finally, it was off to Stadium of Fire!! What an awesome Show it was! Carrie Underwood came out and sang the National Anthem with red fireworks going up when she sang "Rockets red glare" and they exploded when she sang "Bombs bursting in air". It was really cool. When she was done four F-16's flew over the stadium! After they flew over the Captain of the four men went on the jumbo screen and talked to the stadium from the cockpit! It was pretty neat!
This year is the 100th anniversary for the Scouting program so they did a HUGE eagle court of honor for quite a few Eagles! They also had the man who helped organize and start up the scouting program there to start the court of honor!
There was a lot of entertainment - the 5 Browns, Osmond 2nd Generation, and Jenny Oaks Baker - before they brought out the real star of the night - CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!! She put on such a fun show and was able to sing for about an hour. There was an old Grandma a couple of rows in front of us that was jammin out the entire time! Hearing the crowd, it sounded like the boys were more excited to see her than the girls! There was even a teen age boy who was mouthing one of her songs enough for him to get the words in his head but kept it enough to himself that he hoped no one would notice! It was so fun! She is so pretty and seems to be a genuinely good person!
After Carrie they did their all famous fireworks show which I think ended a little early after a firework malfunctioned causing it to go toward the ground and catching someones clothing on fire! Thanks again for the tickets babe! It was so much fun
Sunday after church and finding out that we had taught our Sunbeams for the last time (Nate got a new calling) we went home and took a little nap before heading over to my parents to see our cute little guy! We stayed and had a BBQ with my family and did fireworks with them that night. Braxton Loved all the fun, bright colors that he saw!
Monday morning we went out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel with both of our families! It was so nice again to just be together and hang out.
I'm not sure who LOVED Braxton's new stroller more - Him or Brynnlee
After Breakfast the boys got nice and cozy and relaxed
Braxton with Grandma Hollie
We layed Braxton on a blanket because he LOVES to be out side and hang out! When Brynnlee saw him laying down she decided she wanted to lay down too and made room for herself next to him!
Brynnlee loves Braxton SO MUCH - she's SO cute with him
Dad and Braxton playing
We finished off the night and the holiday weekend by going to see Toy Story 3 again with Nate's family! I was excited because I didn't see much of it at the drive in. We went as a whole family - everyone went including all three Grand kids!
Like I said, what a Crazy Fun Weekend! We got to spend a lot of time together with our little family and both of our families as well! What better way to spend a long holiday weekend than with family!
