Who Knew??

Apparently a gigantic stalk of raw broccoli is much more appealing than the nice steamed broccoli that I repeatedly place on Braden's plate (silly me- I know) . He rarely eats that broccoli but today he told me that it was "sweet like candy". Hmmm......I guess I will now serve him the entire raw stalk and hope for the best!

Happy Belated St. Patrick's Day!

From Mommy's favorite lucky charm

Chuck E. Cheese

Ian was off school for the day so we went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate. We ALL had fun there! I am thankful that Braden actually likes to hand me the balls so that I can play Skee Ball for him. It doesn't get any better than that!

Braden loved riding this "horse" as much as the real ones.

We need a Wac-a-mole at home- it's a great outlet for hitting. Something that I'm learning 2 1/2 year old little boys just need to do.

Couch Fort

Couch forts are like a rite of passage for a child. Braden loved his fort and we have had to build one every day since the first. We may have to graduate to dining room table forts now.

Friday Lunch with some of our Favorite People

Sara, Avery, Sarah, and Grace

Crazy Braden

Sydney

Braden and I celebrated an early Valentine's Day at Banana Play. We had a blast running, jumping, and sliding! It was hard to get good pics of the boys though- they never stopped moving!

Julie's Birthday Lunch

We enjoyed Julie's birthday with a yummy lunch from PF Chang's and a cake (of course). Julie had a couple helpers blowing out those candles.

Braden was so excited to have his cousin, Devin, there to play with. He is as silly as Braden is!

Snow Day

You can't tell from this picture but we really did have fun playing in the snow today! He learned very quickly to look the other way or the snow will get ya!

Finger Painting

Finger painting was a great snow day activity! We had a blast!

Writing

Who needs markers and crayons when you have Mommy's pencil? He looks so serious!
