Happy Birthday Braden Robert

So I'm posting this a month late, but the party was on time...

Happy Birthday Big Guy! We are so happy that you are part of our family! You bring us so much joy! I can hardly believe that you are 5 years old! You are an amazing boy with so much love and imagination! I love that you dress up like Super Hero's and want to 'fight crime' every day! You will always be OUR Super Hero and we love you, Happy Birthday!

(Couldn't figure out how to move the pictures around) So from Braden(dictated with help)...Thank You Gramp, Nonnie and Aunt Whitney for the Cowboy costume and guns, I like that the gun has caps and shoots good! Mommy, I loved my Ninja Turtle cake, it was yummy. Trey, Thank You for my Spiderman costume with big muscles. And Dad and Mom Thank You for my motorcycle it goes real fast. And I had a great time at Sea World with Nana, Papa, Uncle Benj, Aunt Gretch, Yadon and Brooks. Thank You, Nana and Papa for my magnetix, dinosaur bingo and my new shirts(mom really likes the new shirts) And Thank You, Yadon and Brooks for my Captain Jack Sparrow costume 'aye matey!'. Sea World was lots and lots and lots of fun! Thanks Everyone for a great Birthday!

Nana's Train Ride

OK! So first I have to apologize to Nana! I have been promising to post the train pictures FOREVER! So- sorry, but you'll be glad to know I am doing it, and without the help of Kenter so let's hope I get it right!

So this summer Nana (Kent's mom, mine goes by Nonnie...) kept the boys for a week while I had the parvo virus and stayed home to recover. Among the other amazing things they did that week with Nana and Papa, and Uncle Brad and Aunt Yvette. Nana took Trey, Braden and cousin Yadon(Benj's and Gretchen's little boy), on Amtrak! She bought them Amtrak T-shirts and spoiled them rotten! All of them had such a great time and can't wait to go again. We truly have the Worlds most amazing Nana!!! They got to be Jamba Juice inspectors with Papa, play with 'their' dogs(who Uncle Brad so graciously keeps at HIS house in Oklahoma! Thanks Brad!) and play 'frog polo' in the back yard. Nana said they started with at least 4 frogs, I'm not sure how many survived the 'frog water-slide'. It's been at least 6-8 weeks since the trip and they are still raving about all the fun and are so excited to spend conference weekend with everyone in Oklahoma over conference weekend! Thanks again Nana and Papa, in true Trey form you are 'The BEST!'
