EASTER 2008

Brailey's 1st Easter! It's so fun to dress up!!


What a handsome boy!


I tried to get a good picture of both of them - but Brailey was ready to eat and wasn't cooroperating!!! Nice try Braden!!


Braden's 1st experience dyeing Easter eggs!! Forget the little wire with the handle thing for the eggs - it's sooooooo much more fun to dip your WHOLE hand and the outcome is even better - not only the egg gets colored but my hand does too!!!!


All done and sooooooooo proud!!! Good job Braden!!


My Easter basket!!!

Wiggle Time

Braden has had a hard time since we went to the hospital to have Brailey. We had never left him overnight before so when we came home he didn't want to leave either one of our sides! Well - when it came time to go back to school - which was a while after Brailey was born because of snow days and then spring break - so when it came time we promised him that if he had a good day we would take him to this place called Wiggle Time. Well - he cried a little - but all in all a good day and so off to Wiggle Time we went! It was fun!!!

Michael even had fun at Wiggle Time!!!!!



Braden swinging like a monkey!!


Braden learning to swing!

Braden's Football drawing

This is Braden's first "real" drawing...well at least the first one that we could make out what it was!!! It only makes sense that it is a football - being as he is a SPORTS NUT!!!! He did an awesome job for an almost 3 year old!!!

BRAILEY IS 1 MONTH

TIME FLIES.....

......other than her being a little colicky at night (or so we think) it's been fun!

Visitors....

My sister Jeanie came to visit Brailey.


Michael's mom came and helped us out during the birth of Brailey. It had been a long time since she had taken care of a 2 1/2 yr old!!! I think they were both wore out by the time she left!


One of my best friends Sue, from PA came down on a school trip with her son to Nashville. We were able to go and hang out with her for a short time and let her see Braden and Brailey. Braden just loves getting his picture taken!!!


Her son, Nathan holding Brailey! Miss you guys!!!

Braden and Brailey.....

"We are the pirate's who don't do anything"

"Put me in coach I'm ready to play!!!"

SNOW DAY!!!!

We finally got a "good" snow!!! Growing up in Pennsylvania this would not measure up as a "good" snow....but being as I've lived in TN (where school is closed if there is the slight rumor snow is coming!!!!) for the past 7 1/2 yrs....and this is the most snow I've seen...it's a GOOD snow!!!


Braden doesn't quite know what to think of it!!!


POOR Braden....he's no match for daddy!!! And daddy showed no mercy!!!


Notice the big snowball in Michael's hand and Braden pleading for mercy!!!!


Finally Braden got the hang of it....but wait who was he aiming at....ME the innocent photographer!!!!! Again, daddy had something to do with that!!!

Braden at a Memphis Basketball Game

Michael took one of our teenagers and Braden to a game in Memphis. The Memphis Grizzlies vs. Pheonix. Braden got to see "some" of the game - after the 5 hour drive and a short nap he slept through most of the game!
