Water Baby!

Brayden loves the water and as you can see, he is quite spoiled! He has a water play yard, a small whale pool and a big pool! Of course, they aren't all in our backyard...

Unloading the dishwasher, already?!!

Brayden decided to help mommy out unloading the dishwasher!

You can't take your eyes off these little ones! You turn around and this is the type of thing they get into! From what I hear, it just gets worse!

Riding my turtle...

Brayden loves to ride around on his turtle. We attached a rope so we can pull him around the house. When he reaches the tile, he flies! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa DeBolt!

Ride em' Cowboy!

Thanks Mimi, I love you!

Happy Birthday Brayden!!

Brayden's birthday! I can't believe it's been a year! It's been an awesome year and we couldn't be happier! We are so blessed to have such a beautiful little boy!! I couldn't help but remember what life was like a year ago... thinking about our drive to the hospital, wondering if we were having a boy or girl, and that first glance at our precious little boy! What an amazing experience!

Brayden had a great birthday!






Cake time!! It was so fun watching Brayden enjoy the cake... well, he enjoyed the whipped cream cheese frosting actually!








The morning after... our little wild child!

Hospital Stay...

About 2 weeks ago Brayden was in the hospital. He is great now, but it was quite a scare for the doctor to call me and tell me to take him to the hospital. We stayed 3 days and 2 nights. They put him on an IV drip and wanted to observe him. In the end, they figured it was probably some type of enterovirus. We are just thankful he is happy and healthy now! Here are a few pictures... as soon as the IV drip kicked in he started to do much better and gain his energy back.



Playing Peek-a-Boo!

Going around the hospital in the wagon!



Check out day! Feeling so much better!

Let's get out of here!!

Vacation... second stop!

Destin, Florida!

We had a great time in Destin! It was so fun to see Brayden enjoy the pool, beach, and his cousins, Rachel and Max!

WOW... check out this big turtle!



The first day we were there, Brayden saw the water and walked straight in! Dad didn't even have time to take his flip flops off. Brayden loves the water!





Oh this breeze feels so nice Grandma!


Not sure about this stuff!



Whew... I'm worn out!


Back at it again!



Seriously mom... please don't make me wear this hat! Oh, but he looks so cute!!



Playing in the water with his bath toys and some new beach toys!



Here is the harbor that was directly off of the condo we stayed in.
