Summer Trip to Boise

In June, Brayden and I headed back to Boise so I could attend a conference for my new job. The weather was so nice while we were there. Almost every evening we would eat out on the deck. That was great because it didn't really matter how big of a mess Brayden made while eating. Brayden spent a lot of time outside during the afternoon. He would run through the sprinklers, take walks in the stroller, and he especially enjoyed watering the flowers with Grandma. He loves to smell the flowers and hold the water hose. One afternoon he went out with Grandma and my Dad and I were sitting at the kitchen table and he heard some screams and running on the deck. When I looked out I saw that Brayden had the hose and was trying to spray Grandma. He would laugh as Grandma would try to escape. When Brayden would water the flowers he would also water himself. So we finally started letting him water in the nude. One day while watering he started to pee, he looked down and realized that he also had some sort of sprinkler. He was very fascinated with himself, and the look on his face had me cracking up.
One of my favorite parts about going back to Boise is getting to be with family and see friends. My Grandma was able to come over and visit the first weekend we were in town. It was fun to be with her, we spent most of Saturday hauling hay. Brayden loved sitting behind the wheel of the truck and waving to Grandpa every time he saw him. Aunt Teresa helped keep Brayden in his chair while Amber cut his hair. We also had a great time with the Knolls, Uncle Richard and Aunt Linda; Brayden had so much fun playing with the kids in the yard. My Uncle Brent and Aunt Vickie were also in town so we met them for lunch, it was great to catch up with them and hear about all their kids. We had dinner with the Bergersen's, with Cyndi (my friend from Eagle High School), and with Rachel and her family. Brayden had fun swimming in their pool and jumping on their trampoline.
