The Happy Pappy: May 2008

Camping in Pacific City, Oregon-Memorial Day Weekend

We did have one accident...

Brayden was having 'quiet time' on his bed in the camper when he took a face dive off the bed onto the step below. He gave himself a fat lip. He wouldn't put ice on it, so we tossed the kids(well, not really tossed, per say) in the truck and drove to the nearby lodge to obtain a cooling agent (popsicle) that he was eager to use. Now he thinks he gets a 'treat' whenever he falls so I'll now have to keep popsicles on hand along with his 'Scoobie' band-aids.

Walking and snoozin' in Newport

At the Beach

Mom and Noah trying to stay warm.

Brayden spent a lot of time throwing rocks into the 'ponds'.

Where's my next victim?

At least mom and dad look happy

Our hike down to the beach.

Brayden wanted help getting water in his pail, but once confronted with the cold water he took off running, leaving dad to get the water.

Run, Brayden, Run!

Here's dad with the pail of water!

Silly Masks

Our art project one morning was making masks. Aren't we pretty?

Wake up Brayden!

Swimming in May

We had some really nice weather mid-may so the swimming pool was set up for Brayden. Of course, he outgrew this pool, so he now has a bigger one which he is very excited about.

The boys and mom

This is Brayden's 'Chandler Smile' which he does whenever we ask him to smile.

Which one of us looks more tired?

Brayden 'helping' me feed Noah.

Brayden watching "Handy Manny" on TV. He is always asking dad if he can play with his tools. He has his own 'tools' which he loves to use, especially the hammer...which is frequently taken away from him due to him 'fixing' everything (aka banging on everything he sees).
