We're really enjoying the new house, even though we've spent much of our time this summer working on it! Braden just continues to grow by leaps and bounds. It seems we go along for a little while and one day I wake up to a kid with so many new skills and pants that are 2 inches too short! Let's see, since I last posted in December we've done way too much to list but I'll try to hit the highlights. Braden and I took swimming lessons which went really well. He LOVES the water and the big slides are his favorite. Easter was a lot of fun and coloring the eggs gets more messy every year. Meaning, more fun for Braden! Grandma Phyllis came out to visit us and helped dye the eggs this year. :-) We took Braden on a fishing trip to Glendo at the beginning of June. He had fun watching movies on the boat and catching fish with mom. He swears his fish were all bigger than dad's! Ha, ha. We played T-ball this year which started out a little rocky but ended with a lot of smiles and laughter. We'll be doing it again next year, and maybe soccer too. Of course, Braden turned 3 in July. He had a big party that we was very excited about for a whole week! He had a ton of fun with all his friends, received a lot of really fun gifts, and dad built his new swing set!
Well, that's about it....in a nutshell. I'll try to be better about posting and providing better details but I can't make any promises! Here are quite a few pictures taken since our last post. I'll try to start from the most recent and move backward.
