Braden is still a little wobbly, but he is walking more and more every day!



Kate singing "Life is a Highway" from the movie Cars. Future superstar???

Fun at Home

The other day during "rest time" Kate and her dolls were very busy. When I asked what all the dolls were doing, Kate replied "handstands!"


Braden loves playing with Kate's piano. It used to be one of her favorite toys, too.

Braden thinks it's more fun to get in the toy basket to play.

Braden's 1 year appointment

Braden and Dr. Blevins

Braden had his one year check up yesterday. He is such a big boy!! He weighs 23 lbs 2 1/2 oz (55%), is 30 1/2 inches long (74%), and his head measurements are in the 100th percentile. We think he is still having some reflux issues so he is having an upper GI test done on Nov. 2nd to try to determine what's going on.

New Pictures!

Braden (1) and Kate (almost 4)


We had Braden's one year picture taken today and some of him with Kate. They both did great!

We celebrated Braden's birthday last night with pizza and cake. He loved them both!!

Braden is ONE!!!

It's official...Braden is one. I cannot believe how fast this past year has flown by! Since Brad is out of town we are going to celebrate tomorrow night, but we did have some fun today. We went to Toys R Us and then out to lunch at Silver Spoon with Nonny, Cheryl, Julie, and Jackson. Braden's favorite part of lunch was the bread and the ice cream! When we got home Kate had fun playing dress up with Braden...at least she gave him the blue hat!

Gatlinburg Getaway

We spent the past weekend in Gatlinburg with Tee & Bygone and Don & Wendy to celebrate Tee and Bygone's 40th birthdays. We had a wonderful, relaxing time. The girls got pedicures while the boys played golf. We went shopping, had alot of good food, and had lots of fun hanging out at our cabin. Thanks to Nonny and PopPop for taking such good care of Kate and Braden so Brad and I could enjoy some time away. Happy Birthday Tee and Bygone!!
