Brayden's 1st Birthday

On April 3rd 2008 my baby boy turned one!! It's hard to believe it has already been a year, it went by so quickly. He is so sweet and happy all the time, I can always get him to smile. He is still not walking, not even close yet! And he has yet to say a real word, other then babble, and the occasional "da da" and "ma ma"!! He is allot smaller then the girls were at his age too, which is why we all think of him as a baby still. But he is trying, he has started pulling himself up and just recently moving along the furniture on his feet. He loves music and is always ready to join the girls with shaking his head back and forth and clapping his hands to the beat, it is hilarious to watch. I am excited to see him grow and begin toddler hood. What will this new year have in store for him, only time will tell!

Mikayla turns 3

On March 31st Mikayla woke up to breakfast in bed and a decorated room in honor of her turning three. I did not get a picture of all of it, but I hung streamers in the door way that they had to walk through, and their were balloons and banners hanging on all the furniture, it was pretty crazy. Haley and I had to blow out her candle because she was half asleep and did not want anything to do with blowing out a candle!! Haley and Brayden helped her eat her blueberry muffin cake, bacon and a special strawberry yogurt and cherry surprise. They made a mess that I did not enjoy cleaning up!! Mikayla got allot of neat gifts, she loved all of them. In the tradition of our family she had a fun party at Chuck E. Cheese.

Mikayla's 1st Dentist Appointment

Mikayla was nervous about her 1st dentist apt. She had heard scary stories from her older sister, Haley! After a bribe or two she decided to be brave. She didn't say much, but was full of smiles for everyone. Strawberry flavor was her choice of fluoride treatments, and to my surprise she left it in her mouth the whole 30 seconds. The dentist report was good, no cavities! At the end of everything she was able to pick a toy out of the box. Mikayla picked a scary looking finger with a long red finger nail. Of all the cool toys to pick from, my daughter picks the weirdest one of all!!!
