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.

Braden's 1st Professional Haircut

Well - the time had come for Braden to get a "real" haircut. I had "tried" but it was crooked so I thought I'd better go see how the professionals do it!! I don't know that I learned much - because she had a hard time for the same reason I did - you can't keep a one year old from moving - especially when you're messing with their head!!! HA!



Here's Braden sitting in the "big chair" getting ready for his smock!



Well - he didn't like sitting alone - so Mommy joins him!! Daddy took pictures!



He's saying, "Maybe if I keep taking her combs she will quit messing with my hair!"



"I can't quite see the mirror from this angle - is she cutting straight?"



"That's better - now I can see - wow I look sooooooo serious!"



"How am I doing daddy? Do I look good?!"



"Hey - I sat really good - and you only needed one bandaid from me moving - so um - can I keep these?!"

Cowboy Braden

He's our little cowboy!!!

Braden Relaxing

Braden got this seat for Christmas and is just now learning to relax in it! I took these this morning while he was watching Sesame Street. He has it made - his sippy cup on his right and his goldfish on his left!!! What a life!!!

Braden Mowing

Starting him out young!!! He's watched his daddy do this a lot so he's a pro!! Although I think I have a little boy that doesn't like to get dirty!! The grass was still wet from overnight and he fell in the grass and sat there like he didn't want to touch the wet grass to get up!! He waited for me to help him up!!! Good or bad?!?!? I don't know! I will post more pictures - but it's not coorperating with me today - UGH!!!
