Slower

Do you ever wish you could just slow time down a bit? I don't want it to stop altogether just slower - More time to smell the roses and feel the warm sun on your face. I can't believe my little man is already two and growing by leaps and bounds! This summer has been crazy and I haven't posted much at all. Since this is the only journaling I have been doing I better get somethings captured! We have had a ball this summer. Last summer Brant was working almost constantly so it is so fun to have been able to do some things together. We have gone to the County Fair, swimming to Pine view twice, fishing at Lost Creek, fed the ducks, played with the slip n slide, the pool on the deck, Katie came to visit and play and lots of other fun things. Beau is completely head over heels obsessed with trains right now. Grandma Judy showed him one day that their were pictures of trains on the computer and now that is all I hear - see trains, see trains, Choo Choo! Then dad took it one step further and found you tube train videos for him! He is in heaven when he is watching trains. We rode Trax downtown the other for Andee and Tyson's wedding and he LOVED it! It was so much fun. Then on the way to Pineview we were in Ogden and stopped at Union Station and climbed on the trains and took lots of pictures.

Beau is talking up a storm. There is not much he doesn't say and is cracking us up all the time. He has everyone wrapped right around his tiny little finger. Yesterday he was struggling during nap time and just said - Mom - Hold me! Talk about melt a mom's heart. He has all his baby teeth but his eye teeth and one of those popped through this last week. He only gets his binky at night/nap time now and we are transitioning to no binky at all. That one will be tough - He loves "Bob" which is what he calls his binky. He loves sports of all kinds - I have always said I didn't want my boys to play football they could play absolutely anything else but football scares me but he loves it already so we will see what happens there in the future. He never stops for a minute - He runs all day and drops into bed at night. When he runs he pumps his right arm up and down- not sure where that came from. He has the cutest laugh in the whole world and laughs a lot. He is in generally a happy little camper that goes with the flow so well, but he has a little stubborn streak too. His new thing if he doesn't want you to come or do something he holds up his hand and says, "Stop!"

I absolutely adore being a mom and cherish all these moments cause I know they will be gone in the blink of an eye. Sure, there are hard times, but overall it is the BEST thing ever. Here are some fun pictures from our summer adventures.

Slip n Slide with Taylors

Beau caught the first fish at Lost Creek- Just jokingly I said give him a kiss - He said No and then he did - needless to say mom grabbed the wet wipes :)

Beau got in the water at lost creek and it was freezing when he got out we stripped him down changed his diaper and wrapped in a couple blankets he was shaking so bad - He snuggled up with mom and fell asleep since he hadn't had a nap - Mom got over an hour of just relaxing and cuddling with her little "baby" who is not such a baby anymore. I LOVED IT!

Brant and Beau brought the boat across the lake from the car - Brant's legs barely fit but Beau loved the boat!
