just because

I am pretty obsessed with my little buddy,

I'm so glad I get to hang out with him all day, everyday!

We took a little trip to Northern California to visit Braydn's cute sister & family. We had such a blast, she lives in the most gorgeous area but wasn't really what I thought when picturing Cali. It was FREEZING there and dumb me only packed us all one jacket and one pair of pants and the rest was all summer clothes. So we were actually there for several days despite what our clothes say in every single picture.

We did a little crusin' around town in Eureka, this little shopping area had so much character. Now if only the shops had been open! We went on Labor Day and I guess everyone takes the day off so nothing was opened.


The Beach

Nothing like a good ole' bonfire at the beach topped off with some sand filled s'mores.


Triniadad Head Trail

Nixon has this obsession with Braydn's ears, its so funny.

Fern Canyon

Fern Canyon was a hit. It was so beautiful and I am told this is where they filmed some of Jurassic Park. Braydn would shoot me if I told you that he said this would probably be where Edward, Jacob & Belle lived.
(on his behalf no he didn't read the books, he was just forced to watch the lame movies with me.)

Nixon decided to make the most of the 14 hour drive by catching up on some reading.
It was so great to spend time with family.
Thanks again Kins & Joe for letting us invade your house for a week!

we have been busy enjoying the warm weather and outdoors while we can.
we love this time of year & I think Nixon agrees!

family of three

Oh what a wonderful day we had this past weekend!
Our little family of three was able to be sealed in the Draper Temple and it was my favorite day so far. We couldn't be happier and count our blessing every day for our sweet little man. Braydn also gave Nixon the sweetest blessing that same day. I am so so grateful for my little family and for all your love and support.
We are beyond happy.

the little mans digs

Here is a glimpse of our little man's pad. Since we are in kind of in a limbo state of living right now I wasn't going to do anything, but after several months of blah white I couldn't take it anymore. So there you have it, we made do for now.

I told my Dad and Bray about this marquee "N" I had envisioned in my mind and they whipped it out for me. My Dad also made me the chair wall shelves and I love them!

I promise when we are finally in a stable place I will do more, but there ya have it for now.

oh ya and whats a post with out a picture of the star!
