christmas morning

San Jose trip and Gilroy gardens

Riding on the lite rail with a dirty face!
So sleepy after a day of amusement park...
A super cool tree behind me and Dad

First in line for my first ride ever! =) I am ready
The carousal. I am ready to get off this thing but it keeps going.
One of the rides... wasn't a big fan of any of them because I wasn't allowed to stand up.

fun picts from the fall

Day at the Beach!

We spent a day at a friends beach house to celebrate their birthday. What fun... Here are a few pictures of the fun.

Tired from all the surfing.

Playing in my hole with Dad and a few balls.

Above is me trying to help dig my hole.

Below I am learning to surf.

Braden laughing while eating...for grandparents enjoyment! =)

I finally found the camera after a week of it being "lost" otherwise know as hidden by Braden! =) I hope this makes you feel like you are with us.

Changes...

Well it has been several months since I have blogged! Braden got his first second and third tooth... He took his first steps and now is practically running... He had his first birthday complete with chocolate cake... We moved across the country to California. He is a beach baby now. He loves the water even though it is way too cold for Mom and Dad.

Easter

Brian and I both love this face...  I was trying to capture him crawling through the legs of furniture you see in the background of the above picture but he was too fast and made this precious face by the time the picture took!  The picture above and below are both from today Braden's 9 month birthday.  Our precious son keeps getting cuter and cuter.  

These next pictures are from Easter Sunday.  He was sick but still cute as ever.  He loves to run around the house in his walker.  He can turn corners quick and even get around in tight spaces.  

Such a little man here!



You can see how mature he is in our easter pictures.  He just keeps getting more and more handsome.

It's been a month since I have downloaded pictures!

This is the coolest big block that mom borrowed for two weeks from the library... I can do so many things with it, read, reach for stuff and just play, I can even look at myself since there is a mirror on it.  
These pictures were taken this morning... Lazy Saturday mornings are the best!
I want the camera.
Those big blue eyes...
Family Portrait... Aren't we cute?  Brian and I had a date night and Braden got left with one of his girlfriends for his own date night he had fun even though her husband was there as well! =)
Braden realized that stairs are super fun!  =)

The next four pictures were taken at the wildflower center.

This next picture was Braden in the big high chair out to eat... such a big boy now!
This last pictures was us with two friends and their boys born the same time as Braden.  We went to the Capitol for a free Biscuit Brothers concert.  It was super fun the boys were into the music and people.  It was a fun outing.  I just love hanging out with these friends... so does Braden.=)

All by myself!

I am now pulling up to standing all by myself...  I am such a big boy.  I can reach so many things now.  Here are some pictures from a day that we were hanging out with our friends the Smiths at the Wildflower center... More picture to come with the actual flowers!  =) 

Getting Around makes me happy

So cool... I get to play with my toy box! 
Sitting up on my own from crawling.
Look Mom no hands... on the floor at least.  He got brave on day 2 of crawling.
Crawling is so much fun... This is one of my silly happy faces.
Look at me go.  I used to do an inchworm move, but last week in church I saw a pretty 9 month old crawling and I looked at her and got on all fours and never looked back.  Nothing like motivation from pretty girls already.  We are in for it when he gets older.
