We had our annual outing to the pumpkin patch at Windmill, our favorite pumpkin patch. They have the best hayride. Braden loved the bumpy hayride and playing on all the trucks and tractors! He found the perfect Braden sized pumpkin in the pumpkin patch too.

Ian's 8th Birthday
We had so much fun at Ian's Halloween birthday party. All of Ian's friends had a blast with the silly string war, limbo, and bobbing for apples. Braden did his best to keep up with the big boys, showing me what's in store in the next few years. Thanks for the goodie bag too- Braden is covered in tattoos again!
Playdate with Cora and Lily
We had a great playdate with Cora and Lily. Braden and Cora had a great time playing together and Lily had fun watching!

We Miss You Daddy!
Daddy will be out of town all week. We really miss him and we're counting the days until he is home! Here are some pictures for you Daddy!
Check out my new shoes Daddy! I'm having fun with my new truck. Thank you!
Braden's new favorite thing is watching movies, he loves Toy Story. Of course, now we are all learning that you can't watch movies every hour that you are awake even if you want to. It's a bummer. Mommy must admit that it does make getting dinner ready a little easier though!

Birthdays
We celebrated Devin, Drexell, and Kenneth's birthdays at my mom and Gene's house. I can't believe the twins are going to be 19 and Devin is 8, they are all getting so old!
Thanks for dinner Mom and Gene! We had a great time but Braden is still coming down from all the blue icing he ate!
JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes
This year was Dan's 5th year as the walk chair for the JDRF walk in Dayton. They had a great turn out and made $30,000 more than they did last year! It's great to see how much of a difference all the walkers are able to make each year. Battelle's Batalion, Dan's employer's walk team, did a great job raising money as well.
My mom, sister Jeri, and niece Megan were also able to come walk with us. Braden and Megan loved the Wegerzen gardens halfway through the walk. They loved it so much I think we ended up with last place!! We had a great time!
Thank you to everyone who walked and helped us raise money!
Emma's 2nd Birthday Party
Emma had an awesome Dora the Explorer birthday party! The kids all got Dora backpacks with maps to find their party favors after Swiper hid them. They had to find their way through the chocolate tree grove, wind-y forest, and crocodile lake to get to their party favors in Boots's house. The Shaws have inspired us for Braden's next party, they definitely have great imaginations! Thanks for such a good time and yummy lunch!
Braden Style
Do you like his outfit? All the important items are there, diaper, zoo ride anklet, Thomas tattoo, and some cool shoes! Unfortunately, his mean parents thought this wasn't quite enough for Emma's birthday party so he soon had to change.

Day Out with Thomas
We spent Sunday morning visiting Thomas in Lebanon. Braden was a little shocked to see such a humongous Thomas. Once the shock wore off, of course the first thing out of his mouth was "Wanna ride Thomas?". To think his silly parents thought he wouldn't realize that you could actually ride Thomas. Sadly though he'll have to wait until next year. The train tent and bouncy house took his mind off the train ride.
Removing Braden from the bouncy house instigated a series of two year old tantrums that lasted into the evening. I think this passionate display of emotions just means that he had a great time and didn't want it to end!
The nice lady at BK gave him this crown which stopped his tantrum for about 30 seconds. Unfortunately, it continued on when we got home! Poor guy, it is rough being 2! After a good nap he felt all better. He'll fondly remember this fun morning every time he looks at his new Thomas tattoo (for at least a couple weeks anyway)!
