Brayden Turns 5

Watch out Gen. Grievous!
Star Wars Character Walk






I can't believe I have a five year old! I guess that means I'm getting up there. Although, I've been married almost 10 years so I could have a 9 year old. Wow! I can't believe he is 5 already. How is it that it seems like he was just a baby, but at the same time, I can't remember life without my crazy kid. He is such a blast and so like me in many ways. We both can switch emotions from happy to sad/mad/or whatever or vice versa in less than 2 seconds. We love to cuddle, we love to be around other people and get kind of hyper when we are. We both love our alone time to do our own thing. We both are easily amused by things. Its fun to see what traits our children inherit from us. One thing is for sure though, he is his own person. There is no one quite like him- which I love!



This is him "helping" me decorate his "Death Star" birthday cake.

Happy Birthday Son!

Brayden you have the coolest parents that think of the coolest and wildest parties. Everything from costumes, to light sabers to a cake. Being a Christmas baby, I know about being forgotten. Later in life this awesome birthday party will be one he always remembers!

Mini-Marathon

Brayden's school does a "mini-marathon" each year.  During recess, some of the kids choose to run.  For each lap they do, they earn a punch on their cards.  Brayden ran 27.2 miles!!!!  He earned a cool medal and certificate. We were so proud of him. I forgot how long his hair was!  He decided last spring that he wanted to grow it out until school let out.

 ....you can't take the country out of the girl. My parents' have pretty much the coolest place to visit...well, besides the beach or Disneyland... so we always have fun going back home to the farm.  Grandma Marie Bramwell- 89 years old!  Double Rainbow! Sunset over the Snake River  The only reason he is wearing a helmet is because he had to for his scouting belt loop.  We had to fudge a little bit- it's his bike helmet.  Billy has learned a thing or two from me :)

Brayden got to celebrate his birthday at the happiest place on earth...Chuck E. Cheese.  Yes, he really wanted a Chuck E. Cheese birthday party.  Not the kind where you show up and mom orders pizza and brings your presents in, but an actual Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Party.  You know, the one where they set the table for you and you get an awesome blow up crown and Chuck E. comes out an entertains you.  I blame all the children that previously have had birthday parties there when we've shown up. Brayden did design his birthday cake.  Apparently he wasn't impressed with the giant cupcake one I made last time that tipped over.  I like doing it this way much better- so much easier.   He got to invite a few friends.  We missed a few that were sick or out of town.  Bummer.  I guess that's what happens when you have a December birthday.  The boys that did come were so much fun and full of all that boy humor- loud and silly.   We opene...
