The BIG 3!!!!



The day started out with biscuits, gravy, eggs and bacon with orange juice for the birthday boy!!



Then on to putt-putt! Notice his shirt....I was going to embroider a 3 on a t-shirt for him and ran out of time so I picked another outfit out...well he didn't want my outfit...he picked this and I just happened to notice it had a 3 on it!!!!






Then Braden wanted to go to CiCi's for pizza....so we stuffed our faces full of pizza and cinnamon rolls!!!
It was a GREAT day! The only time when Brailey and Braden turned 3 in the same month!!!

Baseball



Michael has always joked that Braden is our retirement - well this week - he kind of opened my eyes. He asked me to throw the ball to him (in the house!!) and I did and he hit it!! I'm not so sure a 3 year old is "supposed" to be able to do that - they start out in T-ball - hitting off the T - but he is hitting w/o that! He's doing so good - we are so excited!!!

THREE MONTHS!!

TOO CUTE!!

Wow...I don't usually write on here - but some funny things have come out of Braden's mouth in the last few days - and I thought - well - these are the things to add to my blog!!!

First the background....

A couple of weeks ago I started teaching Braden "Holy, Holy, Holy". We would sing, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Merciful and Mighty, God in 3 Persons, Blessed Trinity". That is about all he has memorized (although it's worrying me at this point that he has no tune!) Anyway - I would sing "Holy, Holy, Holy, Merciful and....." hoping he would finish it - well once in a while he would!

Now.....
Everyone in the south likes to say "bless her heart!" - actually it drives me nuts - but I said it sarcastically one night in the car while Brailey was screaming! Braden started to repeat it and it was really cute coming from him! So the other night he asked to sing "Holy, Holy, Holy" - so we started and he was doing really well - we got to "Blessed........" and I waited for him to say "Trinity" and he said "Bless her little heart!" He was so serious it was hilarious! I started laughing at first and realized he didn't do it to be funny - that is what came to his mind!!!

And then last night while I was getting things ready to head out the door for church Braden got his Bible and started flipping through the pages. He said, "Mom - this page says, 'you got to go to Jesus'". I was like "wow - that's awesome"! A little preaching moment from an "almost 3 year old!" Then he kept flipping and acting like he was reading, "He got off the cross, and the tomb rolled away and He went to heaven!" It is so awesome to here him talk about what he has learned about Jesus! It sounds so sweet to me....but imagine how that sounds to our Father's ears! Children really are a blessing from the Lord!
