Playing

I thought you might enjoy seeing just a normal everyday playtime with Brayden! He is very busy and active! Can't believe how cute he is, but I am biased! Wish you could all be around to play with him!! We always have room for visitors if you want to come play!

One week Down, Four or Five to go!

Brian has been gone for a week now and it seems like forever! Brayden and I are doing alright! However, Brayden has decided to have sleeping difficulties, so it has been a long week! As I write this he is sleeping soundly and hopefully will continue for a long while!
Brian is doing well in Washington. He has had some long days, but seems to be enjoying it as much as he can. He has even been able to go to Cabelas a couple times already...don't know if that is a good or bad thing!!

We are excited for YaYa to come spend the 4th of July with us!!

Here are some photos of Brayden, most I took to send to daddy! Enjoy!

WALKING!!!!!

On Sunday afternoon we were sitting around playing with Brayden. He was having a good time, making a big mess with his toys. He is good at that! He likes to pull himself up on the coffee table and walk around it while holding on. All of a sudden, he let go of the table and walked to the couch where Brian was sitting, giggling of course...he is almost always giggling! Well, once he figured out that he could walk by himself, that is all he wants to do!

We were so happy that he walked yesterday because Brian left this morning to go to Fort Lewis, Washington for 6 weeks and he was so worried he was going to miss Brayden starting to walk alone! YEAH!!

The end of Vacation

On our way home, we stopped so Brian could fly fish one last time. Brayden got to play in the sand and was happy as could be!! We had a great vacation and hope to get to go back one day!

Waterfalls

We took a short hike to this waterfall. This is valled Bridal Veil Falls. We got pretty wet when we were at the base of it!

After we saw the waterfall, all Brayden wanted to do was get out of his stoller and go play on the rocks and in the water!

Here is a video of Brayden at the base of Yosemite Falls. Sorry about the background noise (that's what happens when you are at the base of a roaring waterfall!!!) He loved the rock and screamed when we made him leave (that's not on video, however!!) Enjoy!

Views of Yosemite Valley from the top!

We drove to a place called Glacier point where there were incredible views of the Yosemite Valley! Brayden loved walking around!

On the way back to the valley, we stopped right after a tunnel for these views!

Giant Sequoias

On our second day, we went to the Mariposa Sequoia Grove. We took a tram tour through the grove. Brayden slept most of the way, but did wake up at the very end!! The trees are amazing. The are huge. I learned that the sequoias are cousins to the redwoods!
