Here's some random videos of our cute little boy! I just love him so much! I can't believe how much he has changed even in the past couple months. He has so much personality and he's so much fun!

It's been a while...

So sorry that I haven't put up new posts in a long time! Time has been flying! Here's a little update on us...in mid July Scottie turned 30! He's soooo old. =) In late July we helped organize a thing call Freecycle which was a free garage sale at our church. It was awesome and so many people got blessed with free items! We bought a huge playset with 2 slides, swings, and a little rock wall. It's a lot of fun and will only get more fun as Braden gets older! Scott did an awesome job staining the wood and then we put it together. It was quite a task, but it looks awesome! Then Jules went to Africa, and shortly after Braden started daycare! He had his ups and downs but now he is doing great! He loves going to Grandma Mary's and that is so wonderful to know when I drop him off each morning! A couple weeks ago I started school, and so far it's been good. I'm exhausted, but I think in a week or two I'll be doing better. A week ago, my sister and now my mom have moved in with us. Scott, my unbelievable husband, offered to have them stay with us for a little while while they sell the house back in IL. That brings us up to this week. Scott took the plunge and got baptized! It was awesome! The church had a big river baptism ceremony. Scott's been a Christian for quite a while, but hasn't ever been baptized so he decided this would be a good time. The setting was beautiful! We'll always remember that day! Also this week I'm another year older...27! Yikes! At least it's not as old as Scott. =) Anyway, that's us. The following are some pics from the past couple months.

This is Braden hanging out in the saw box, while we were working on building the slide.


This is kind of a long story...one day Braden was happily playing in the bathroom so I decided to go check my email really quickly. A few minutes later I realize that I haven't really heard anything(never a good thing) and around comes Braden from the master. All I could do was laugh. He had gotten a tube of my lipstick and put it all over. It was hilarious! There were little lipstick greasy hand prints on the floor and a little trail on the carpet from the bathroom out of the master! =)



Shortly before Julia left for Africa, Braden got a stomach virus. It was awful. He was definitely in some pain and just wanted to cuddle. Here are a few adorable pics of him cuddling with his daddy.




Once mom accepted the offer to move in, we moved the office downstairs and the guest bedroom upstairs. Braden of course helped by throwing things down the stairs and by adding a little weight when dad moved the desk and dresser drawers. =)
Last weekend we watched Weston during the day and before we put them down for naps we wanted to get some vacuuming done. Scott got out the vacuum and the boys went in the closet and got a couple mops of their own. They looked so adorable trying to push them around the floors "helping" Scott clean!
