Mia as a Watermellon Fairy(Halloween 2011)

Braxton as a Tiger(not Tigger)(Halloween 2011)

HOLY CRAP I HAVEN'T BEEN ON THIS FOR HALF A YEAR!!!!!! Well I can tell you this much.......... busy, busy, busy is what we have been up to. Life gets busy when you try to juggle family, work and everything else in between. Im not sure where to begin.

Braxton will be 9 months on the 29th. He is weighing in at about 18 lbs. He is started offically crawling this month. He loves his freedom. He actually started scooting about 6 months old then went to the army style crawling(not much though). Braxton loves material, especially the really soft kind(like minky material) He is constantly putting things in his mouth. He enjoys pounding on the piano at grandma and grandpa Graffs house.
So who does he look like the most????? Mostly me BUT there are days he looks like his dad. Especially when he wears a hat. Braxton has been saying the "da" sound alot. We have been trying to say "ma" sound.

Mia, Mia, Mia. Mia turned 4 in October(pictures to come later) and had a swim party up at her "boyfriend" Taylor Stout's house!! Oh and her boyfriend is on a mission right now in Argentina. Mia LOVES being a big sister. She is always making Braxton laugh. She helps her mom and dad out when we need her. Mia has her dad's personality. Always making people laugh with her comments, stories and funny faces. Just this month she started gymnastics and is loving every bit of it. And will be starting preschool in January.

As for Ruston and I:
Ruston is now an Assistant Manager and Sunrise Tire and keeps busy. He is also an Assistant Scoutmaster of our troop of about 12 boys and has been in that position for about a year. Ruston had his last year of the dedicated hunter and had no luck. Close but not close enough!(I was wanting deer jerky soooo bad!!!)
As for me, I did something this year that Im proud of..... I took piano lesson!!! And I hope to continue them!!!! I still work at the scout store!!! And Im still in scouts in my ward. Im actually 2nd counselor in the primary(love my calling) so I can tell ya that I live scouts 24/7 it seems like.

Well this is kind of a boring blog. I know there is more to write but when Im at work doing this, I don't have much time. I will soon have more pictures up and more stories to tell. I hope you enjoyed this.
