Finally updated

Alright everyone I am finally updating the blog. It has been a busy month or two. We took a week long trip to visit the grandparents in Ohio and boy did we have fun. Mostly, we only got pictures at the fair so here are some of the highlights.

My first strawberry milkshake which I loved. Now, mommy treats me to a milkshake every coupkle weeks if I am having a good week.

MMMM..thats yummy. Grand Ma and Grand Pa nkept me all sugared up all week. They let me have my first candy bar, first milkshake, all the ice cream I could dream of, and Oreo cookies. I thought it was heaven.
Here I am dancing around from all the sweets.

I loved the marching bands. I stood with grand Pa for a long time watching and listening to some cool tunes.

The animals were exciting but personally I was mostly in to the animals that were smaller than me and I did NOT like the pig barn. Mommy, said I didn't want to go in because is stinks.

Overall our trip home was spectacular. I did great on the 12 hour car drive and slept and ate good all week. I also started using more words when we were visiting. I now say go, gotta go, see you, open, on, off, juice, drink,. There are more words but these are the ones I say all the time:)

Summer Update

Well, it's been another long stretch between updating the blog. We'll blame dad for continuously switching our computer around. I bought a new HP computer at the beginning of July, it was a lemon, so I had to send it back and get a replacement. So we've been in computer limbo for about a month. Apologies to our loyal followers (grandparents and our soon-to-be SC neighbors the Turners!) So here's what our summer has looked like: Braeden loves to help do whatever Dad is doing. Here we're washing the truck! Doing my best "Bam-Bam" pose. If it involves a stick and a ball, Braeden loves it. Golf, baseball, hockey (yes yes, it's a puck, not a ball, so I guess it's more anything that involves whacking something with a stick).Braeden in his new cool-guy sunglasses.

Afternoon at the Park

Last weekend we all went to the park for some outdoor time. Braeden had the most fun playing with his ball; pushing it up the slide and watching it come back down. Then him and dad watched some baseball practice on one of the fields.

HI Grand Ma

So overall we have been pretty busy just not busy taking pictures as we should. Braeden is constantly on the go and for the most part just enjoying toddler hood. He loves to write and scribble,point out things in books, play with rocks, shoot hoops, and play golf. Today we tried going to a swimming play date. Braeden had fun but refused to wear his puddle jumper I got him. He is extremely opposed to any type of safety device that might put poor old Mom at ease. Tune in later in the week we are going to try to be a little more ambitious in capturing the cuteness.

PIcnic outside

I woke up and Mom had moved all my toys outside for the day. I was super excited.

The sisters

Here is Mom and two of her sisters. We all visited with Aunt Rosanna and I got to see my Grand Pa O'Dell and my new cousin Trandon. Silly mom, this is the only picture we got from that trip. She took out the camera as we were leaving.

Hi Everyone!

I have been slightly missing in action but Mom is trying to get back on track. Now that I can do basically everything she forgets to take as many photos. Here I am in my afternoon gear with no shorts on shooting some hoops.
