Shoes & Mud

Brayden has branched out in the area of shoes lately…he really enjoys his flip-flops (mommy is SO excited) & his rain boots! Really stinking cute! He is ALL boy, & I just love some of the pictures of him in his “jammie” shirt, diaper & boots!
As for the mud…as much of a boy as he is, he doesn’t always like being dirty or muddy (especially when he doesn’t choose it!) A little while back, Seth, Brayden & I headed over to see how the house was coming along. Somehow Brayden was a magnet for mud that day! Truly, he managed to “fall” or trip off of the patio (inches literally) into the only mud puddle in the whole back of the house! His leg sunk…a long way & he was NOT happy! Mommy thought she handled it well. We got him calmed down & used a water bottle, wipes, etc. from our stash in the car to get him cleaned up! He was happy again! Woo hoo! Well, Seth wanted to check something out at another house, & while we were waiting Brayden found another mud puddle (the only other one on the lot). He kept his distance, but enjoyed throwing little rocks into it. Well, mommy turned around for one second & splash/squish…in he went! His little leg sunk in so far & he was SO upset! Clean up this time was not quite as easy because we had used all of our resources the first time around! We actually had to use the shower outside of the neighborhood pool to clean him up! Whew! What excitement for a “quick trip” to see the house before going to Wal-Mart! Ha! We of course had to go home instead after all of that excitement!

Some summertime fun

We’ve been so busy this summer, even though we haven’t really been gone much. Here are some pictures from earlier in the summer when we went to Atlanta to visit Josh & Kelly. We had such a great time hanging out at the house with all of the doggies! We finally made it to Zoo Atlanta, which we’ve been planning for years (truly)! Brayden was in rare form at least half of the weekend…good thing he is super cute & he was super fun the other half!!! Brayden also played miniature golf for the first time when Jill & the girls were in town & he LOVED it! He liked playing on his own & with some help, but he really enjoyed cheering for everybody else & reminding them to put the “ball, hole….please!”

My baby is 2!

Brayden celebrated his second birthday on Monday!!! I can’t believe that he is already two years old; man how time flies! We had a wonderful day with just the three of us! Last year was completely different because we had his party on his actual birthday. Both ways are special, but it was just a very nice, relaxing day! We started the morning with his favorite breakfast of French Toast! Then we woke daddy up (he doesn’t like french toast like we do, so we let him skip that part) & got ready & headed to the “beach” at Pine Island. This was the first time we had really gone there as a family for the sand/water aspect & not just the playground or a party. We all had a blast, & Brayden LOVED both the sand & the water! We had a picnic lunch & then headed home for his nap. When he woke up we had our celebration with our presents & cake. He was so funny about blowing out the candles…we had to do it FOUR times because he kept saying so nicely ” mo blow please!” I hope he doesn’t do this at his party!!! He also liked all his presents, & he had a funny little surprised face with each one he opened (which was a new thing)! He also got his present from Nana & PawPaw which he loved…a Mickey Tricycle! All in all it was just a great family day! I am SO thankful for this precious little boy that we have been blessed with…oh, we just love him SOOO much that words don’t do it justice! Happy 2nd Birthday, Brayden!!!!!
