Prom!!

Julia had prom last weekend and she looked good! Her dress was beautiful and of course it fit her great! I did her hair and I must say it looked pretty good! All the kids met at the country club to take pics together which was great because she was able to get pics with her softball girls!

Warning! The following may be inappropriate for some eyes!

This is probably something Braden will hate us for later in life but oh well. Weston came over last Friday night and Julia and I had a blast feeding a baby that loved to eat for once! We decided to give them a bath together and they had fun for a little bit but they weren't too happy when we tried to have them pose for pics! I must say these are two of the cutest boys in the world but man do they have different body styles! =)

Easter!!

I'm so sorry that this is way late! Boy did we have a week! Poor little Braden had an allergic reaction to some meds for an ear infection and broke out in an awful rash. It was so painful to see him scratch at his head! We finally got it all figured out and back to his usualy self late last week, but since then our internet has been really bad. I think our computer hates me! =( It's finally working a little now though. So needless to say Braden's first Easter wasn't that great. However he loved the toys that he got from his grandparents and is playing with them all the time now! He loves to play with his golf clubs and this flashy light thing that he got from Grandma and Grandpa Davis, he likes to play with Rusty the monkey that he got from Grandpa Heaberlin, and he looks like a little stud in the clothes from Grandma Heaberlin and Grandma and Grandpa Davis! They really like to spoil him that's for sure (we got a little spoiling too...thanks for the candy!) Braden told us to say thanks for the gifts and he can't wait to see what he gets for his 1st Birthday!!! He sure is a blessed little boy! Below is a video of him playing with the golf clubs. Scott worked and worked to get a video where he actually hit the ball with the right end of the club! He natually seems to pick it up and swing it on the wrong end. It was cute seeing Scott show Braden how to hit it, although I'm not sure it really sunk in. =) Maybe in a few years!!

9 Months!!!

I can't believe my little angel is 9 months old!! He is starting to look more and more toddlerish! His hair is getting longer and thicker. We actually have to do something with it now or it just sticks straight up. =) He will walk while holding onto your fingers and he's had a few times where he's stood by himself. I loves to get chased around and starts giggling at random things, for example I started laughing at Scott tonight and Braden just started in laughing too! It was cute! He's a little string bean just like his dad! The Dr would like him to gain a little more weight so we are trying fatty foods to see if we can plump him up. But beside his light weight he is doing everything ahead of normal babies. He makes new sounds everyday. Today he made this wierd grimlin like sound. It was pretty funny!

He's ready for the baseball season! Hopefully we'll get to watch a lot of Cardinal games to steer him towards the right team as early as possible. =)

He is really good at pulling up! This is usually my view of him if I'm in the kitchen. Julia says he always knows where to go if I'm not next to him then I'm in the kitchen. He crawls in and pulls up on my leg and tugs and tugs until I pay attention to him. =)

His 6th tooth finally is coming through!! It's been a long month with teeth coming in and this last one has been the toughest. Poor little thing just can't get his fever to go away, but he still has as much fun as he can. Hopefully next week we'll be back to crazy happy Braden all the time!

He loves balls! His Grandpa Steve got him a basketball and a soccer ball and he loves to play with them! His dad has been teaching him right by playing with them all the time! Mandy said that he dug to the bottom of a basket one time just to get a ball out. =)

Here is a video of Braden and Weston playing. Weston is walking really good now!

A trip to the Beach

Last Saturday, we headed down to Corpus Christi to see the Champion Chargers play soccer! They made it to the Elite 8 and Julia's bf, Tim, is the goalie. Sadly they lost the game, but we still had a lot of fun at the game and afterward. We headed over to Blackbeards, a restaurant we always go to when we go to the coast, and then we walked out onto the beach! Braden was excited in his swimwear and he looked like a little stud, but Julia's first words were, "It's cold!" He loved playing in the sand and no matter what we did he would not look up from it! He wore himself out though because after we cleaned him up he just wanted to fall asleep in his towel with his AJ. =) He's such a cutie! I can't wait to take him swimming this summer!

A night off!

Thank you thank you thank you to Grandma Dianna!! She watched Braden for a night while Scott and I went to a nearby resort to relax! We had a great time! Swam in the pool, at smores, and had a great dinner! Braden had a great time with Grandma and slept very well for her! He told me to say that he's ready for another night parent free if anyone would like to volunteer!

Another new friend...

Braden has another new friend! His name is Cooper Gray, and he's a cutie! He came over to play for a couple hours. We went on a walk and played with some toys. He hung out with Julia and watched tv for a while and then just fell asleep! What a good baby! My crazy active son of course didn't go to sleep when Cooper did! He stayed up and played for a couple more hours! =)

TROUBLE with a capital T!

I don't know how many times I say, "Braden don't get yourself in trouble," but it's a lot! He's into just about everything! He loves cords, especially the speaker cord that goes behind the couch. We've taped down part of it, but he of course finds the part that's not taped down. =) He also loves everything Abby. He likes to get on her pillow, get her bone, play with the doggie door, play with her water bowl, and play with the door on her crate! He has found the cabinets now too! He hasn't broken anything yet and we are putting up safety things this weekend, but he espeically loves the tupperware and the pots and pans. In a matter of a couple minutes he will have 4 or 5 drawers pulled out and about 20 things on the floor.
