Chasing

The boys' favorite activity is to chase each other back and forth downstairs.  They will do this for quite a while, squealing and laughing until they both get worn out.

Big boy!

Bryce is quite a kid.  He is loving kindergarten, doing great with his schoolwork, and has made lots of friends.  While walking him to his class one morning I hear a girl his age say "Hi, Bryce!".  He says hello back and then the girl turns to her brother and says excitedly, "that's the boy I was telling you about, that was him, that's Bryce!"  Her brother replied exasperated, "I know, I know, I heard all about him last night!"  When I looked at Bryce he had a big smile on his face.  I wish I knew what she was telling her brother that night!

All smiles!

Brayden is such a happy soon-to-be 2 year old.  He loves to climb, run, and play catch.  He misses playing with  Bryce when he is at kindergarten but as soon as he hears the bus coming he gets a big smile on his face. 

Sweets!

Brayden has quite the sweet tooth.  He loves this coffee cake that we make and is never too full for a piece :)

Open House

Bryce had an open house at school this week.  He was very excited to show us his school and all the work he has been doing in kindergarten! 

Bryce's first day of kindergarten!!!

Bryce was so excited to start kindergarten this year.  He was so excited the morning of his first school day that he couldn't eat breakfast and could hardly sit still.  After his first day he told me "that was the best day I have ever had mom!".  On the third day of school we were walking home from the bus stop and he said to me, "wow mom, this lunchbox is really heavy to carry!"  I asked him why since he already ate his lunch.  He replied matter-of-factly, "well, I wasn't really hungry for my lunch, so I bought my lunch...I had a sub, grapes, green peppers and chocolate milk.  It was great". 

On the go...

One of Brayden's favorite activities is playing basketball.  He also loves to play soccer and kick the ball back and forth.  He is very active and often needs a quick break to get his energy back :)

Big boy!
