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!

BRAILEY RENEE MAYFIELD IS HERE!!!!

Brailey Reneey Mayfield was born on February 14th at 7:55 am. She was 8lbs. 7 oz. and 20 1/4 in. We had a rough start - with me having near pnemonia and then spinal headaches which put me back into a surgical center to have a procedure done called a blood patch. They took blood out of my arm and put it back into my back - epirdural style - to patch the hole left from the spinal. I guess when I would stand up brain fluid was leaking out of the hole and causing horrible headaches that would only go away when I would lay down. PRAISE GOD all is well now and I can enjoy this beautiful little girl that God has given our family! Enjoy!!

Braden holding his sister - I think he likes her!



This is Brailey's "going home from the hospital" outfit!


Daddy holding both of his babies!!! This is basically how it is...if we lay with Brailey, Braden wants to be right there - it is really sweet!




Couldn't ask for a better BIG BROTHER!




She likes to make this face a lot! A friend calls it "kissy lips"!


This is her first Sunday in church!





These last three are pictures of Braden when he was about the same age. Other than him being bigger - they are almost identical!

Family Camp2007

Braden in his PJ's almost ready for bed....still trying to get some playtime in! Still playing........ and playing....... FINALLY....getting some ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz's! A friend gave Braden and Michael a ride around the campground. Braden had a blast and CRIED when he had to get off! We took a canoe ride. Braden enjoyed this....so much he fell asleep througout most of it!!! Michael resting from rowing...being as I am pregnant and due to some issues at the beginning of the pregnancy - he didn't want me rowing - so he had to do it all!! Poor guy!! I had to get my face in the picture!!!

School days.......

Braden's class made a crown for the letter "C" in school. Here is a picture of him and his friend donning their creations! Braden and Jean have been in class together since 4 months old. They're old buds!

Bradens little friend.........

We spent the evening at a friends house and Braden took up with their little girl! too cute!

More camps.....

Summer Camps 2007

Good thing about being a Youth Pastor's wife and child is we get to enjoy the camps along with the kids!! These are pictures of Braden at Dollywood!

Braden's 2nd b-day!

We just celebrated Braden's 2nd birthday on May 27th. I know, I know...it's August...but I haven't been on here in a while - so I'm catching up!!!

SANTA!!!!

Well - second year with Santa - and Braden still doesn't like him very much!!! But this year Santa - who must have been a Santa for a VERY LONG time - suggested that Daddy hold him and when I was ready with the camera he ran around and posed and the outcome was a great picture - that Braden was totally unaware of!!!

The Writing on the Wall

Braden's first "writing on the wall". At least it was crayon and not markers - which he doesn't use yet!!! He was showing me this and knew he got in trouble for it - and he was also trying to scrap it off with his fingernail.
