* when he is tired he says "its bed time dad" go get in your bed'
* He still loves to scare people he laughs and laughs so hard

* everytime I say goodbye mom when i'm on the phone with my mom he says "goodbye mom" it's so cute and so funny
* lately when we tell him it's bath time he says he doesn't want a bath and as soon as he gets in it's like pulling teeth to get him out.
* He has been learning lots of new songs and sings them all the time.
* He talks to his toys the same way he talks to his friends... because to him they are his friends.
* he would rather go pantless then wear his superhero shirts
* He will grab our face if we aren't looking at him hold our face and say "lets talk mom" lets make a plan" and then hold it until we respond.
* his prayers are the sweetest things ever. he prayers for different things everytime and it always melts my heart.
* the only books he wants to read right now are curious george books
* whenever we try and get him to go somewhere or do something he doesn't want to do he pretends to have an ouie/ouchie so he doesn't have to go or do something he doesn't want to.
* he still asks for his dad multiple times a day and will always respond before i do by saying "he'll be home soon"
* he tells me all the things he wants to do with his sunshine and bamp in utah... the most important are riding clyde ( my dads horse) and swimming and buying toys with sunshine.
We are seriously loving Braydon's summer schedule. We are all going to have a really hard time when he goes back to a full course load at school this fall! We have been going to the pool and calypso cove ( the ymca water park) it's been very very hot. So we haven't really been to the park in a while. We have been doing lots of coloring, painting, bubbles and squirt gun fights. It's been a very fun summer so far. We seriously can't wait to go home and see our family. Sawyer asks everyday to go to his sunshines house. He talked to my mom and sister yesterday asking/crying to come stay with them at their house. Poor kid can't even stand to wait. Benson no longer looks like a newborn (tear) he is getting chubby which is adorable, but he is growing to fast. Sawyer is doing so well in swimming lessons. Yesterday at the pool he swam with his head under back and forth between lauren and I. He hugged me so tight after and said " i am a good swimmer mom" such a sweet boy! We have been so proud of him for going potty in the toilet. He is on some medication to help him poop easier. Poor kid has a very hard time. So he has no FINALLY started going into the toilet. WE are so proud of him and he makes sure he lets us know he gets a present everytime he goes poop in the toilet. We started a money jar so everytime he goes he gets to put money in it. when it is full he gets to buy a present. the other day we were on our way to the water park benson was so sad and sawyer was in the back saying " it's ok buddy" we are almost there buddy" I love you buddy" Mom he is so sad he needs my toy or a kiss" How did Braydon and I get so lucky? We are just so blessed to have great kids, great family, great friends... even though sometimes it is really hard we just have a great life!
