Aunt Kristie and Brayden

Brayden snuggled right up with Aunt Kristie!

Big cousin Bryce

Bryce loves being the big cousin to Samuel and Aubrey. Bryce and Aubrey were playing together this morning and bryce said, "aubrey, I want to read you some books, c'mon" aubrey found a seat in the highchair and they read some books together :)

bryce's cars party

Bryce celebrated his birthday with cousin Samuel on Thanksgiving...they had a Cars 2 party. When we started to sing Happy Birthday to him he ran to Aunt Kristie and hid his head acting shy. When we finished he sprung to his feet and looked at everyone and said, "you wanna do that again!" I had a feeling he would love the attention as usual. He asked for a raspberry cake this year and really enjoyed it.

Toys R Us

Bryce was thrilled when we got out the Black Friday ads to look at...he went right for the Toys R Us ad and got a seat to look for some good deals!

Thanksgiving

Bryce and Brayden had a fun Thanksgiving this year. We explained why we celebrate Thanksgiving and asked Bryce what he was thankful for and he said, "my toys...and Jesus"

Bryce got lots of great birthday gifts and enjoyed helping dad open his too. He got lots of great books and was quite excited to read his new little critter collection book by his favorite author..."mercer mayer!"

Bryce's birthday

Bryce and dad had their birthday celebration at home a few days early. bryce was very excited when he saw all of his presents. He chose chicken nuggets, french fries, apple slices, and a juice box for his special birthday dinner. He loved all of his gifts and even helped dad open his gifts too

brothers

Bryce loves that Brayden is starting to stay awake more and play. Bryce likes to show him how he kicks a football and shoots a basketball.

My big boy...

Ever since Bryce began potty training dad would sing this song to him when he was done. Bryce just started singing it one day, 'my big boy went to the potty today, I'm so happy yeah yeah yeah!'. we laughed when we heard him and he smiled and asked us, "what's that funny for guys?", a classic bryce question when he knows he has done something cute that made us laugh.

Little Kentucky Fan

Brayden got a Kentucky Wildcats outfit from Aunt Darlys and Uncle Michael...we think he looks great in Kentucky blue!

1 month old

We can't believe Brayden is 1 month old already! He is now 10 lb and 22 inches long.

Brothers

Bryce loves being a big brother and loves to read Brayden books in the morning. Brayden loves to listen and seems very curious already!

"look mom, a big tower!"

Bryce and I decided to bake some pumpkin bars one morning. As I was gathering the rest of the ingredients from the cupboard I returned to find that Bryce had made a big tower out of the spices. Thankfully he didn't decide to crash the tower as is often the case with his towers made of blocks.

The bathtub

Brayden was not sure what to think of his first bath in the bathtub. He was much happier once the bath was done and he was wrapped up in a warm blankie!
