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!
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!
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!

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!
Yosemite Day 1
Last week we took a vacation to Yosemite National Park. We had a great time enjoying the outdoors and spending time together as a family. When we arrived Brayden was asleep, not wanting to wake him we started out by just driving around and getting acquainted with the park!
When Brayden woke up, we stopped at Yosemite village and walked around a bit. Here are some photos of Brayden with Mom (Yosemite Falls are in the background). Brayden with Dad playing on a rock and getting a ride on the shoulders, he LOVED the rocks at Yosemite.
On the way out of the park for the day, we stopped at one of the pull offs on the Merced River!

Playing Ball
Brayden has always thought that the dog's ball was actually for him to try to eat. Recently he has started playing ball with her. Blizzard is so good with him and he is so in love with her! Here is a video of one of their play times!!

Saying Hi!!!
This video is especially for Aunt Katie, who asked for more videos of Brayden! Brayden loves to wave now and also loves to stand up! No walking yet, but he is working real hard on that! Enjoy!
Swimming Video
Here is my first attempt at a video! One of Brayden's 1st swim lessons...he's much better now!

Summertime!
Summer is here, though I sometimes feel like it is summer year round in California! The weather is nice now, not too hot, but I know the heat is coming!
Brayden has his last swim lesson next week. We are not enrolling him in the summer session due to the cost and the fact that we have a pool in our neighborhood that we can use for free....it's even warm!
Brian goes to work tomorrow and then he is taking leave next week before he leaves June 15th to go to Washington state for the summer! Brayden and I are preparing to keep ourselves busy while he is gone! We will miss dad lots and will be glad he will be home for Brayden's 1st birthday!
While Brian is on leave next week, we are planning a mini family vacation to Yosemite National Park. We will post pictures and maybe even some video when we get home! We figure while we are stationed in California we need to take advantage of the sights here! If Brayden had been older, we would have been going to Disneyland to take advantage of the free military tickets! We will have try to go there before we move when Brayden is a little older!
Welcome!
Well, I decided to give in and start a blog to hopefully allow everyone to watch Brayden grow up! I also thought that this would be a good place to put videos of him! So check back often to see what is going on in our little corner of California....
