West Family Reunion

We had a great time at the West Family Reunion this summer. We stayed up at Brian Head in two large cabins. My kids were so excited to spend time with all their cousins. We did a few fun hikes, ate yummy food, played a few games of Settlers, and Paul went mountain biking with his brothers. It was a great time. 

Braden really hit it off with Cole who lives in Arizona. Susie loved hanging out with all of the cousins, old and young, but especially the two girls that are her age, Rachel in Arizona and Leah in Texas. It was fun to watch Clark and Aaron play too. Most of the time we couldn't tell what they were talking about but it was funny to try to listen. Aaron lives in Texas too. It's so nice that we know we get to see the whole West gang at least once every two years. They are all pretty awesome. 

Fish Lake 2019

We were in Fish Lake for Braden's actual birthday. We had a great time. We spent time out on the boat, fished, went for walks, and enjoyed being out in nature. 

Braden Turns 6

Braden had a birthday! He was so excited. He talks about his birthday all year long. We went on a birthday date to Menchies and got frozen yogurt with all the toppings. We had our little birthday interview and had fun hanging out together. Grandma West always sends birthday money so he was excited to go spend that. He bought a blue light saber. 

Braden wanted a volcano cake. Luckily for me, volcanoes are meant to look messy. 

We had a few of friends over for water balloons and pizza and cake. 

He got some legos from Mom and Dad and a dinosaur fingerling from Grandma Susie.  

Braden and Susie have had a lot of fun playing together this summer. Clark gets left out sometimes. Braden loves to ride his wiggle car and jump on the trampoline. He is a good reader and wants a snack 12 times a day. His favorite things are doing art projects, eating rice, and going on dates. He gets stressed out easily and struggles to listen sometimes. He is very loving and is still great at snuggling with his mom even at 6.
