Socks

Last week.....I had my back toward the stairs when Brayden came down from his nap. When I heard him ask me to fix one of his toys I turned around to find him standing there with nothing but his socks on, holding a toy. While laughing I told him we need to get some clothes on him. His innocent response was "but I have socks on"....as if that was enough!

We all need that embarrassing "bathtime with your cousin" photo!

We spent a couple hours playing on the ATV's and sledding in my sister's front yard. Brayden could not get enough of the ATV's and only wanted to ride with Uncle Scott.

Christmas 2008 - Wisconsin

Brayden and Noah playing at Rob's uncle and aunt's house.

Hey buddy, I don't think that flashlight is quite big enough for you!

Yes, that's our 3 year old with a blow gun, Brayden had a blast playing with it.

They were aiming at various objects in the room with capped darts so no animals were hurt.....
