Bag Tag

A while ago Amy (Tyler's Amy) bag tagged me. Sorry it took me awhile but here is what I have in my bag. I have an extra diaper, wipes, a snack for Brayden, my wallet, checkbook, lip balm (Bigelow from Bath and Body, I love the name), two kind of lotions (one that smells good and the other just works good), two pens, a pick, my jump drive, a vitamin C drop, and a coupon book.

I think that I am supposed to now tag three new people, but I am just going to let anyone who reads this decide if they want to do it or not.

Little Baker

Today I took the day off to get some things done and spend time with Brayden. Brayden and I were bored so we decided to bake some cookies. Brayden helped a lot. He helped measure the sugar and flour. As you can guess my kitchen was a disaster, but it was worth it. We both had a blast!

After the cookies were done baking Brayden got to taste his masterpiece. He loved it! I think he ate every last crumb.

Brayden loves to "help" load the dishwasher. He takes out the dishes as I put them in. Here he is "helping" me clean up the baking mess.

BRAYDEN'S 1ST BIRTHDAY

On Saturday Brayden turned one and we had a BIG party to celebrate. All of Brayden's Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and some friends came to his party. He had a blast, though I don't think he knew exactly what was going on. Okay Caleb and I had a blast; probably more than Brayden.

I can't believe that my baby is already one! Where does the time go? Every one says how fast they grow up but it didn't really hit home until I had one of my own. The more Brayden gets older, the more his personality comes out, and the more I fall in love with him. He is the cutest little boy ever (I am not biased though)!

Brayden practicing his walking skills with Grandma Moore. Here is a perfect shot of his excited look though it is funnier in person. For those who don't know what Brayden's excited look looks like I'll try to describe it the best I can. His whole body tenses up and he makes this grunting noise and slirps air through his teeth. It's hilarious! Though I do have to say that the first time he did it Caleb and I thought he was having a seizure or something. But as soon as we knew he was okay then we started laughing.

Brayden getting ready to blow out his candle. How do you like the cake? I am very proud of it. In case you can't tell it's in the shape of one, and yes I did it myself. Brayden was more intrigued with the candle and everyone was singing to him then the cake.

But once he tasted that frosting he loved it!

Brayden got spoiled rotten. He wasn't too interested in opening his presents he just wanted to play with Grandma and Abby. But once he saw his new toys he got really excited!

As you can see from the pictures Brayden had an awesome first birthday. Thanks everyone!

Caught in the Act- What a Healthy Breakfast

On Sunday Morning when Brayden woke up at 7:00 I didn't want to get up. So Caleb, being the wonderful loving husband he is, got up with Brayden. When I went downstairs I found the two of them lounged out on the coach eating a healthy breakfast of graham crackers.

Brayden Playing With His Cousins

Madison loves carrying Brayden around. He's almost as big as her!
She put him in his bouncer, but he wasn't so sure about it.

Coming Along

Our house is really coming along. On Saturday Caleb and Kelly started siding. YEAH! I was really nervous about the color it is so permanent but as soon as I saw it on the house I loved it. The color is called Mist. It kind of changes colors in different lights and angles. It has a brown/grey/green tint to it.

This week we also (when I say we I really mean "the guys") also started pumbling. On Saturday we got both tubs in. Another YEAH!

Bear working along-side the guys.

This is the only time a dog is allowed in my brand-new home. Once the carpets go in my house is a dog free zone. Sorry Bear! Caleb and Brayden are hoping for a dog...Maybe... as long as it stays outside!

Just Like Daddy

Brayden is so much like his daddy. There smiles are the most alike.
