Reno Trip

We spent last week in Reno. Brian had an ROTC conference and Brayden and I went with him! We got to go shopping and play at the park! We had fun! The first picture is a picture of Brayden last year when we were in Reno, the second picture is from this week!

Halloween 2009

Brayden was a bumblebee this year for Halloween! Those of you who know the Hermie and Friends bug movies, will know Buzby the bee. That was the inspiration for the bee costume! Brayden loved going trick or treating. He especially liked the houses with dogs. He just wanted to pet the dogs, wasn't interested in the candy!! He also loved getting to run (yes, run, Brayden rarely walks!) around the neighborhood at night! He was one tired boy afterwards!

Carving Pumpkins

This was Brayden's 2nd year to carve pumpkins....well, ok, Dad did all the carving, but Brayden helped! He wasn't sure about the gooey insides or the seeds. He did try to eat the raw seeds and he also tried to feed them to Blizzard. We had a fun time and he really enjoyed seeing them lit up at night!!

Getting Big!

Brayden is getting bigger! He goes to his 15 month check up next week! Check back for his latest statistics!!
He has finally been able to wear some of his long sleeved clothes...luckily the ones we have still fit!!

All Done

80 degrees in October....

Trip to the Oakland Zoo

Here are some photos of a recent trip to the Oakland Zoo. We went with Brayden's friend, Savannah and her mom. Brayden was asleep when we arrived, so he missed the beginning of the zoo. After a short snooze, he got up and enjoyed the rest! He really liked the train ride at the end!!

Our Crazy, Wonderful Pets...Blizzard and Arctic

Blizzard is so good with Brayden, for the most part she lets him crawl all over her and pretty much harrass her!! Arctic lets Brayden harrass him as well, but I think that Arctic thinks they are playing a game and playing games usually involves claws with Arctic so we have to be careful! For the most part, they both love Brayden! Arctic has even confiscated the high chair at night!!!

September in California

Who knew that September in California would bring 100 degree days?? Brayden enjoyed the extension of summer. Brayden sure is growing fast. In the last month I think he looks so much more like a little boy than a baby. It is hard to believe that he turns 14 months old tomorrow!

Summer Time Fun!!

Brayden enjoyed his first summer. Here are few random pictures of his summer fun!!

Of course, when you turn 1 you should have a beer!
Laughung with YaYa!
Making a BIG mess eating lunch....

That wore me out....

Helping dad build the shelves for my toys!

This is hard work and makes me tired!

Here Dad...this is where it goes.

Can you believe my parents let me have mud pie for dessert???
