Perfect Day at the Park

A couple of weekends ago we went to the park and had a picnic with GiGi and the kids, and some friends. We had so much fun!!!

Brothers-in-law

Kevin was teaching my lil brother Jared a thing or two about baseball. It was so cute watching the two of them.

Braden loved going up and down

Doing a few curl ups

Braden loves his new scooter. It didn't take long to figure out how to use it.

GiGi made his cookie monster cake. It was so awesome!! Thank You GiGi!!

The Birthday Boy!!

We are so proud of our lil guy!!!

He's sucking his fingers clean.

Braden was so excited when he came outside and saw what we got him. We actually had it put up a few weeks early. But it was for his Birthday

We're pretty sure Braden had a blast at his Birthday. We love you Braden. HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

New Years 2009

2009 didn't start out like we planned. We had alot going on in our family. So we tried to make the best of it. Kevin, Braden and I hung out at Kevin's dad's house, we played games and drank tons of sparkling cider.
It's midnight!! Happy New Year!!!

Brooklyn had herself a lil taste. Just Kidding!!

Braden didn't make it to midnight. He was knocked out.

Well Kevin came close he past out about 11:30

My brother in law Michael and future sis in law Emily. Yup!!! Michael purposed at midnight. It only took 5 years. HAHA! I'm so happy for them!

A Very Busy Christmas 2008

Christmas eve we drove around checking out the Christmas lights. Braden was amazed.

Christmas eve at the Rives's house. Pepaw Rives with Brooklyn and Braden

Braden got tons of Thomas the trains things and hot wheels. His two favs.

I got scrapbook stuff, Thanks Michael and Emily.

I made a Brooklyn scrapbook for Sean and Jenn.

Christmas morning about 12:15am.(don't mind the clock, I know it's wrong)I heard a noise, I thought it was the dog getting in the trash or something. I walk in to the living room, and there he was Santa. I ran and grabbed my camera to take a quick pic.

He ate his cookies Braden left out.

Braden's new Thomas "cycle". He loves it.

Braden is showing mommy that Santa left him a Thomas pillow. He sleeps with it every night.

Going thru his stocking.

My family came for my first Christmas meal. It turned out great!!

My Aunt got this for us. I love it!!! Thanks Kara

Riding his cycle and wearing the backpack GiGi got him.
