This past week and a half my wonderful sister Ashley came to visit me. It turned out to be perfect since Brandon's office went to Charleston, West Virginia to go sell for 3 whole weeks!!! Which means that I would have been completely alone, and it's not like it is a short drive away. It is 6 hours away!!! Brandon took my camera so I have no pictures to post, but here is a list of some of the things we did! We went shopping at every mall within a 45 mile radius (3 to be exact), We drove to Charleston for 3 days to see Brandon and went shopping yet again and watched the Olympics, We played at the pool, we went to D.C. and went to the Natural History museum with animals and the Hope Diamond and then went to go see the sites but got poured on and had to leave!!!, then we had a picnic at a fun park. Nothing to exciting, but it turned out to be a lot of fun, and we didn't kill each other so that is good. I'm sure she is ready to leave our crazy house!!!
Also, we get to leave this next week for home in Idaho!!! We leave on Wednesday and have 33 hours to drive so we might not be home until Friday, but nevertheless we are going home!!! Virginia has been so fun, but I'm ready to go home! Every time I call Brandon I tell him I could pack all day and we could leave in the morning but he doesn't think that is so funny since he has to sell one more week and he is already getting trunky!!! He did awesome this year and has sold over 200 personal good accounts, and the office is about to clear 3,400 good accounts. I am proud of his accomplishments!!! I am also now 22 weeks! Time is flying by! It seems like I was just telling friends and family I am pregnant and now I am halfway done!!! Braxton has learned some new tricks that aren't so wonderful and some that are wonderful! He learned how to open doorknobs, which means that if we shut a door it is not a baby proof room anymore since he can get into it now. He has learned how to push chairs wherever he wants them to help him climb higher like to get his treats...enough said. Some wonderful things are he is starting to potty train himself. I haven't pushed it but he is learning to tell me when he has gone or when he needs to go and we sit him on the toilet and he is so happy with the results. He learned the actions to popcorn popping and it is so cute!!! Also he is a chatterbox!!! I don't understand any of it but he is chattering away!!! Hopefully they can become sentences soon.
So there is an update on our life and what is going on!!!

I am so glad that Ashley got to come visit you. It sounds like you had a blast. Braxton seems to be into the same things as Kayson. It keeps you on your toes. we can't wait to see you, love A
I am going to charge up the hotwheel truck and get ready for Braxton. I heard you might be pulling the car home? I would maybe try and sell it first or rent a uhaul car dolly to help the pull. Pulling is hard on everything and takes alot of gas so a dolly would help. Anywho we look forward to seeing you all. The garden is on and the girls picked their hearts out.
Kacie, This is Marty. It's great to catch up with you and your cute family. I hope that everything is going great for you guys and good luck with the drive that will be coming up. COngrats on the little girly coming to your fam too!! That is so exciting.
Can you believe we made it through another summer? How many more do you think there will be to come?? Thanks for all the rides and the fun activities this summer...It has been hanging out and watching brax and max play. Max is going to be so lonely at our house in Utah!
Yeah! Kacie is coming home! We look forward to having you here, but will probably be leaving the first weekend you are home. We are heading down to Lisa's. Travel safe, get those doorknob covers, keep that finger from finding the nose (Who taught him that one, with two fingers, no less?) and thanks a million for letting Ashley visit!
It will be fun to see that cute little tummy!
Love,
Mom
Kacie, this is Jen Hobbs. As I was eating lots of cookies the other day, I thought of you and I hounding down the food at the Stoddards. That thought led to lots of good times laughing and trying to dance. Anyway, I thought of you and then like two days later I saw your blog on the MHS thing and thought I had to say hi. Virginia looks like it was a lot of fun. Your little boy is adorable and I can't believe you have another one on the way! Congrats!! Fun to see what you are up to.
Sounds like you were busy! I'll be glad to see you back in Rexburg! Do you know what you're having yet?
