Fort Walton Beach Trip!

Brayden had a blast at the beach this year! I'd have to say his favorite thing to do was chase the seagulls along the beach. It was too cute and quite entertaining. :) Here are some pics from the trip... wish I would have gotten some better shots, but it's a lot of work keeping track of a 2-year-old running around like a crazy man. ;)

Absolutely beautiful!!!






Chasing after the seagulls! The night we fed bread to the seagulls was the best, but I didn't have the camera. He was on a mission chasing one after another!





Whew... time to relax for a snack. ;)


Dad and Brayden being silly with pretzels.


Brayden had his own bunk bed.


Cousin Max stayed the night one night... Brayden was super excited!


Out on the pier...


It was awesome... we saw dolphins right below the pier. They are so beautiful!

Lounging...

Yeah, right... this wild child doesn't lounge. ;)



Hanging out with cousin Troy. Brayden had a blast with him this weekend. Kept saying "My Troy!" It was too cute!

Our little climber!

Geez... Brayden just wants to climb on everything!! This is the cat toy. Ha!

Loving life...

Our handsome boy! :) Gosh he is growing up so fast!


Sportin' Mommy's sunglasses! Too cute!


An ice cream cone just my size... Mmm, thanks Daddy!

Nothing sweeter...

There's nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby. Especially when yours is such a wild child when they are awake! Ha!



Found Brayden sitting on top of the desk in our office saying "CHEESE". He had found the camera. Guess he is used to me telling him to say "cheese". It was too cute! I had to get a shot of his big CHEESE! :)

Bubble bath

Bobby set up a huge bubble bath for Brayden the other morning... these are great pics! :)

Swimming... on his own!

Last weekend Brayden could not swim around like this! It's amazing how things can change so quickly from one week to the next! I wanted to get a shot of him going down the slide on his own, but he was too interested in other things today. Here he is jumping in on his own! :)

The 4th!

Brayden really enjoyed the fireworks this year!

There were lots of these...

WHOA!

COOL!

Wow!

I love this picture! Brayden was so excited!


Look Dad... there are more over there!


Just sitting back and enjoying...


Heading home from the neighbors...

Yard work...

Brayden loves his new bubble lawn mower! Thanks Aunt Christi, Uncle Joe and Robby!

This is just too darn cute!! Brayden definitely wants to do whatever his Daddy is doing. :)

I've been slacking again... things have been very busy, but we are having lots of fun on the weekends!

All smiles by the pool!


Here's Brayden in his floatie's for the first time...


More birthday presents...
WOW... what is this!! For me??!


Cool! Thank you Mimi!


We set up the slide by the pool! It works out great!!

Ready...

Set...

Go!

And then he says... "gain!" (Known as "again" in adult language! Ha!)

He's such a fly guy!

I just love this picture! Can't help but bring a smile to your face!

Happy 2nd Birthday Brayden!

Brayden had a great birthday party yesterday! We set up our backyard with water toys and a pool. The kiddos had a great time!

It's amazing how quickly the years are going by! Just two years ago we were in the hospital wondering if we were going to have a boy or girl! Now we are blessed with a beautiful little boy that I couldn't be more proud of! He's growing up so fast and each day I am amazed with the new things he is doing!
