Day out with Thomas

Saturday we left from Lufkin headed to Texas State Railroad in Rusk, TX to see Thomas the Train himself. It was sooooo awesome!!!! We arrived there 2 hours early to look around and eat. Then started our 30 minute adventure with Thomas. This was Braden's first train ride.

Of course we had to go to the gift shop. Braden didn't like the hat so I put it back not before snapping a quick picture.
He wasn't interested in the flag either. So, I ended up finding a t-shirt and a Christmas present for him.
All Aboard!! Braden wasn't to happy when we first boarded. NO NAP TODAY. But there's the shirt we got him.
He was much happier when Thomas got moving.
It was absolutely the perfect day to spend with Thomas.
TOOT TOOT!! said Thomas. That means hello.
Even with Braden's small meltdown on the train. It was still a awesome day!!

Jared's 7th Birthday

It was Jared's 7th Birthday this passed weekend. He had his party at Ridemakerz. Even the girls had a great time making their pink cars. I should of made one for myself.
They're all discussing what car he/she wants. It cracked me up how many times they changed their minds.
Jared and his friends from school
He's building his car. Great job Jared
Here is Braden's new car. He picked this one out too.
Grandma and Braden were watching Kevin make the license plate for the new car (it says Braden1). Can you say spoiled?
Here they are with their custom built cars. It was a awesome party.

Go Diana Go!!!!

Ridemakerz

Since Braden loves cars and trucks so much, we took him to Ridemakerz in the mall. It's like build a bear but here, you build a car. He picked out his own truck, tires and rims. After Kevin helped him build it and put his licence plate on (it says Braden), he drove it around the store for about an hour. This is the coolest store if you like cars and trucks. In the Duschamp family it's a must.

Ashley's 8th Birthday

Kevin's cousin Ashley had her 8th birthday at Main Event. Braden had a blast playing games.

Braden and Jackson

My friend Amy was working long hours during the first week of Ike clean-up. Her mom needed a break so I watched her little boy Jackson. We pulled out all of Braden's old toys.

Braden had the best time with him.
See how Jackson is bigger than Braden....... Guess how old Jackson is..........

Keep in mind in this picture Braden is 19 months old. Well, Jackson here is 3 months old NO JOKE!!!!
