Brayden's pictures

OK so Chelsi did really good. I am having a hard time pick my favorite for the wall. I have a ton of them that I like for scrapbook or just to place around the house. But for the one big picture I can't pick. So here are the 3 that I like. I need everyone's vote! :) Let me know what you think.

7 years

Happy Anniversary Babe!!

On March 22nd Nate and I will have been Married for 7 years. I thought I loved Nate as much as I could the day we got married, but as the years have gone by I have realized that my love keeps on growing. He Has so many wonderful things about him as well as bad. (but i love the bad too.) We have gone through a lot together and I am sure we have a ton more to go through. He is my other half and I don't know what I would do without him. He has been my strength, my friend, my lover, and my hubby for 7 years and I hope we are able to have 50 more together.

In case any of you don't know Nate here a 10 of my favorite things about him. (Not in any order.)

1. His laugh.(If you heard it you know. It warms your heart. You cant help but laugh too.)

2. Spider killer.(I have a huge fear of spiders. Nate always kills them and makes sure to spray for them every 5 or 6 months.. A true hero!)

3. Priesthood. (Nate has always made sure to be worth for the priesthood and what a blessing it has been in our little family.)

4. Hard working( Nate works so hard for our family. I love him all the more for it.)

5. Snuggles (At night while he plays his games I will snuggle up to him and it's our time. I love it.)

6. Father (Nate is such a good father. Brayden loves when he gets home. He wants only daddy at night.)

7. Help (Evan though I am home with Brayden I work weekend and Nate always helps me by doing the dishes and picking up before I get home. I love coming home and not having to worry about dishes.)

8. Cook (Nate knows his way around a kitchen. I love cooking with him by my side.)

9. Giving (He is always thinking of me and Brayden and what we want.)

10. The best kisser! He can still make me go week in the knee's.

I could go on but Nathan I love you more then ever! Thanks for not giving up on me over 7 years ago when I ran the other way "at first". I would have missed out on the most wonderful years of my life.

Pictures

So I have a friend that loves to take pictures, and I can't tell her enough how great she is! She is a natural with the camera! Anyway she shot some pictures of Brayden today. If you want a sneak peek of a few of them. She posted a few on her blog. http://photographybycgreen.blogspot.com/
I love them all but my favorite so far is the first one and the last two. Of course it's only a few of them and she has a ton more that she is going to play with before giving me them. But with how great the sneak peek is I don't know if I will be able to pick out a favorite when I get them all. Thanks so much Chelsi for taking pictures of Brayden. I can't wait for our family shots.

Update

So last Tuesday Brayden got really good news.. His therapist came over for the every other week session, and let us know that Brayden is finally in the "normal range" for is physical activity. He isn't done but that means she only comes once a month now and once Bradyen is jumping by himself then he is golden! Brayden is almost caught up with all the other kids! We are so proud of our little man. We have all worked really hard getting him there. The cool part is it only took us 6 months to get there! Which from what I was told is really very fast for this type of thing. Hard work definitely paid off.

SHOPPING

The other day Brayden and I went to the Dollar store. He didn't want to get in the cart and since I was mostly just looking and not really planing to get anything I let him help me push the cart. He was doing really good. Then Mommy saw these little ABC Card games. I thought that would be good for him so I put it in the cart. The hole time I guess he was watching me because the next time we stopped so mommy could look at something. Brayden saw a package of 4 balls and must of thought "hey I need that!" So he grabs that balls and puts them in the cart too. I start laughing and thinking OK I guess that's OK. But Brayden didn't think one package was enough. The next thing I see is him grabbing as many as his little hands to get too. Of course I had him put the others back but the first package I let him have.

Bedtime with the balls.


That night When It was time to settle down Brayden of course wanted to play (mostly with his balls) I told him that right now it is time to settle down but when you go to bed I will let you have them in the crib. (The hole time I am thinking he wont remember) about 30 minute later I pick him up from cuddling with dad on the couch. I tell him to say night night to dad. Instead he says ball, ball, ball, ball. So keeping my word I let him pick up the two that he could carry and put him to bed. Once he was asleep We went to check on him and he was out cold with one ball in each hand. It was so cute.
