The Haircut

After his birthday it was time for the first cut. auntie Heather got the honor of taming all that hair while we were in Idaho for a visit.
Momma was a bit traumatized :( 

Obviously looking back I have no idea why I waited so long to cut it!!! He looks 5 thousand times better and now I have Preston cut his hair like every other week lol! 

{Here are just a couple shots from that weekend in Idaho} 
These two are trouble!!!

The Trip

Back in July Paxton and I went with Grammy & Pops on a 11 day vacation that I loving refer to as 
"The Trip" We spent part of it in Jackson Hole and the other half in one of our most favorite places Granite Hot Springs! It was such a fun trip and we loved every minute of it!
 It was so fun to take Paxton to all the places we love so much. 

Our agenda went a little like this:
Day 1: Drive and went to the body exhibit
Day 2: Hike up Bridger-Teton National Forest Teton Pass
Day 3: Group bike ride to Jenny Lake and crab dinner
Day 4: Breakfast at the tepees, hot pots, tram ride to the top of the Tetons
Day 5: Yellowstone {Paxton's first trip} We hit Yellow Stone gold that day and saw: Grizzly Bear, wolf, big horn sheep, black bear, elk, buffalo and moose!!!
Day 6: Visited Paxton's great grandparents, uncle and cousins graves and then up to Granite
Day 7: Swim, camp, veg out
Day 8: Swim, camp, veg out
