Family Pics at the Beach...

Let's just say that taking pics at the beach of all our families with a professional photographer was an experience! Brayden was not very cooperative. He kept laying out in the sand and getting black sand all over and dummy here did not have wipes in the diaper bag. I had moved them to my beach bag and forgot to return them to the diaper bag. He did NOT want to have any part of having his picture made. He had us all looking like a bunch of clowns trying to get him to smile! I will post a link later, when the photographer gets the pics up on his site. But, for now you can check out Brayden laying out in the sand, haha!

Sorry, I did not do so good w/ my videoing. I was playing w/ the zoom and was not fast enough! We had a good time at the waterpark. Brayden loves playing in the water. He was not so sure about this BIG waterfall that went off every couple of minutes. It made a loud buzzer like sound and then water poured out of bucket faster and faster. He would turn to me and want me to pick him up. He liked the smaller little waterfall though and loved the slides!

LOVES the stairs....

Brayden LOVES climbing on anything! He has a great time playing on the stairs as you can see! This video is from a few weeks ago. I have a new digital camera now, thanks to my mom and dad! My mom gave it to me as an early birthday gift. She decided that she would not make me wait til August, because she wanted me to be able to take it with me to the beach in a couple of weeks. Anyway, I LOVE my new camera. You can definitely tell a difference in the quality of the video from the recent pool shots and this one. The pool ones are so much clearer! Thanks mom and dad!

Happy 4th!

Just Say No....

So...I've mentioned before that one of Brayden's favorite words is "No". A response we hear quite often around our house. Well, a couple of nights ago we were asleep, and I heard Brayden say, "No" over the baby monitor. At first, I was thinking ...Oh, great...he is up early. My next thought was.... did he just say that or am I dreaming? I asked Jeffrey, if he heard it also, and he verified it. It was 4:30a.m., and he never made another peep. Guess that tells you how much he hears the word -No....not that he obeys us. Guess I can't pick on him too much, because I have talked in my sleep about needing to go to the grocery store....Go figure!

Brayden did not pay too much attention to all the animals at the zoo. He had a ball running full speed everywhere. Often in the direction that we did not want him to go. Our trip was cut short due to rain. We got kinda soaked.

Waterfest '08

It was really HOT!!! We did not stay too long. I think we lasted about 45 minutes or so. We kept waiting for the Nemo parade, and we never saw it. We got there right on time for the parade, but for some reason we missed it. Maybe...they were really running behind. I'm not sure what was going on. We chased Brayden all over the place. He had fun playing with the ball that has the world on it. He also played in a space jump and started crying, when it was time to come out of it. He wanted to get in the reservoir.... I thought, oh, I can get some cute pics of Jeffrey and Brayden in front of the water. Brayden was not cooperative. He is starting to be very difficult at times. I think he is starting the terrible twos early!

Mommy's Night Out....

I have made a lot of great new friends over the past year. Here are some of them....These are some of the moms from Brayden's playgroup. We decided to have a Girls Night Out tonight at Papito's in Madison. We all had a great time, and I'm looking forward to many more get togethers with these girls.

Thought this would be a nice place for cookbooks, yeah, right!!!
