The Wiggles!

Hot potato, hot potato. Brayden and his friend Samantha are watching the Wiggles. They may not be very good at sharing toys but they sure are good at sharing the ottoman for a little Wiggle action.

Lucky Duck!

One of Brayden's first words was DUCK! and it's still the clearest word he says, so I got him this cute outfit that says lucky duck. These pictures are so cute.

Please mom, I'm trying to sleep.

This face is priceless, it's the face we get when Brayden is super tired in the car and we can't stop looking at him and saying how cute he is. Minutes after this face we get open mouth drool face, which is not quite as cute.

Chance and Cole come to visit

Mikey and the boys came up to visit for a short weekend and Brayden had a blast playing with his cousins. Check out Chance on the swing, not sure how I got him in mid spin, but the face says it all.

Easter

The bunny came and hid eggs in our backyard for Brayden. He found the first couple of eggs, but once he found out there was something in the eggs, he had to stop and eat the entire contents before moving on. This made the egg hunting rather long and boring for mom and dad, but Brayden enjoyed himself.

Dinner at Brentwod Tavern

We took Brayden to dinner on Friday night at the Brentwood Tavern. They have a playscape there and a live band and tons of kids, so he was super happy. I think he ate his entire dinner and danced the whole time. This picture was taken on the way there. He had on his new hawaiian shirt and sunglasses from Grandma and PawPaw - too cute!

Happy Easter - Brayden's Egg Hunt

Stroller fit had an easter Egg hunt last week and Brayden was READY. I was surprised to see how well he did finding the eggs and putting them in his basket, but atfter he found out there was candy inside he was no longer interested in picking up more eggs, just eating the contents of the ones he had. I also had trouble keeping him out of everyone else's basket.

Cookie Monster

I made Easter cookies this week and as you can tell Brayden loved them!!! Now when he sees them on the counter he immediatley begins to beg for one. I think I have created a cookie monster!

I know ya'll are thinking why does he have purple icing on his face...and all I can say is it's a long, boring story.

Zoey and Brayden

We went to Angleton this past weekend for Granddaddy's funeral. And despite the circumstances we had a great time. Brayden especially enjoyed seeing his cousin Zoey.

They played together.

Then watched TV together.

And then Brayden tried to shut Zoey in the fridge...I guess she wouldn't give him the mustard.

All boxed in.

We have to keep thinking of new ways to entertain Brayden. Today we made a secret ticket booth out of foam blocks, tomorrow it will be car.

Hi there.

Ticket please.

mmm, yummy.

man, this thing isn't very sturdy.

Brayden at 13 months

This is one of my favorite pictures of Brayden. He has turned into such a little man. Some of his favorites...dogs (esp. Lily), birds, Strollerfit, swinging, reading and ELMO. Oh and getting into trouble.

Another party...another cake!!

We had some of the family over for Brayden's real birthday party. I made him his very own football cake and I think he really liked it, I'll let you decide.

MUSTARD!!

Well, we have always said Brayden will eat anything and now we have proved it. Anytime you open the refrigerator Brayden goes straight for the mustard. He likes to squirt it in his mouth, or have others squirt it too. And poke his little fingers through the hole and then lick them - have I made anyone sick yet? You really have to see it to believe it.

Brayden's ONE!!

We celebrated Brayden's birthday a couple times this month. These pictures are from his friend party. We invited a couple of Brayden's friends over for lunch and playtime. I think he liked opening the presents best. I wish the weather had been a little better so we could have played outside, but I don't think the kids knew the difference.

February 15, 2006!!

Today Brayden officially turned one. I can't believe it has been an entire year. I guess it's true that time flies when you are having fun. It has been such a great year, with lots of good memories. I know next year will be better, but I'm not sure how.

Shady Grove

Bill and I took Brayden to Shady Grove today for lunch. Can you belive it is 70 degrees here in February and beautiful outside. Brayden loved looking through the wagon wheels and looking up at all the birds.

It's almost my Birthday

We must have taken 100 pictures to get the perfect one for his birthday invitation. But it was all worth it in the end. My neighbor Glenn put it together for me and KK and Matt had the idea to add the foam finger. All and all it is the cutest thing I have ever seen. I can't wait to celebrate at the National Championship Birthday BBQ!

My first haircut!

We went to toys-r-us for our first haircut today. They sat Brayden in the firetruck and he watched Thomas the Train and loved every minute of it. I think he smiled and giggled the entire time. Here are a few pictures.

Lake Tahoe here I come!

We went on a family vacation to Lake Tahoe this year with Mikey, Vance, Chance and Cole. It was Braydens first time on a plane and his first time at daycare. He went to daycare on the mountain at Heavenly while we went skiing. Of course Bill had to take a small detour to the ROSE BOWL in the middle of our trip. I know he would say it was worth it! We had such a great time, although we don't have many pictures of Brayden in the snow.
