We had borrowed Dave and Wanda's wheelbarrow a LONG time ago....wasn't in too good of shape after we used it so decided to get them a new one to replace it...Payton sure had fun on the ride over to their place...His daddy pushed him across town....he thought that was pretty neat...and of course when he got there Wanda had the cheese balls ready for him :o)

These are from earlier in the summer...before we went to Nana & Papa's.
This was our little anniversary getaway...We went to the Mariott in Moorehead....Normally we don't take Payton with us but it just ended up having to be that way...which was just fine....It's always so much fun to watch him at the pool...He loves the water...a little fish :o)
Travis and I will take our REAL anniversary trip this winter and Payton gets to stay at Nana & Papa's...which I am sure he will love!!
Travis got me a day at the spa in fargo for the day after our anniversary...wow...it was wonderful!! He's so sweet!

Payton and Carson had lots of fun playing together...We were happy to get all of these kids in the crock!

All of us cousins that were there got together for a picture.
The beginning of the reunion was at the Sleep Inn in Minot. They had 3 big waterslides...of course his daddy took him on all 3! He had loads of fun! He didn't even get scared when they went on the one that was completely dark! As long as his daddy's around he's pretty brave! :o)
Unfortunately I don't have more pics of him in the pool.


On Sunday the reunion was at Nana's so we inflated Payton's jumping castle and the kids had a blast!!
Here he is playing "Ring Around the Rosie" with Mckenna...I think all the "big"cousins got their fair share of that little game...He was always begging them to play it with him...they were great sports and made him VERY happy :o)!

During the Braasch family reunion Payton sure enjoyed doing all sorts of things with his cousins...
Here he was listening very intently to Mariah...she was reading him story books...He sure was enjoying it! This is at Roger and Sherry's place.
When Lyle was done with harvest and went back to GA Travis ran his combine so they could get done faster...Payton loved riding in there with his Daddy!! I have to figure out how to get pics from my phone on here cause thats where all those pics are.
More snuggle time with Nana...most mornings Nana was still there when he woke up so they had a little time together before she left with the combine...whenever she or anyone would leave he'd always ask me "back?" Whenever Daddy or Papa or Nana or Lyle would come in for a few minutes he would get soooo excited...he loved to hear them talk about the combine and the trucks



He was sure happy to have his Uncle Lyle around too...and I think Uncle Lyle kind of liked having Payton around too :o)


Payton & Mommy spent a lot of time at the Garrison Park while everyone else was busy with harvest...we'd usually end up at the Malt Shop too :o) He loves the Malt shop and his Mommy kinda does too!




Whenever Nana got a chance she'd run in the house to play with Payton even if it was just for a few minutes...He always loved these times!

Here is Payton with his mommy...He always loves a good tickle!
Still at Papa & Nana's house.
While we were at Papa & Nana's for harvest uncle Lyle was also there... Whenever Payton got a chance he would snatch uncle Lyle's hat and sunglasses...He liked to copy him since he really never leaves the house without either of them while farming :o)
Payton sure loved riding in the combine with Nana...he always got very excited when I said we were going to the field!

Payton always likes Sunday's b/c he knows he gets to be with his Daddy all day long...doesn't get much better than that :o)

Payton had his first swim in his new little pool from Nana and Papa this day...He sure had a lot of fun!






This pic was taken this summer at Nana and Papa's one Sunday during our Harvest visit...Payton's not too fond of the sun in his eyes!
