Fall Fun!

Braeden has been so much fun these days. I went on a run around La Fortune Park and he was so cute all bundled up. Afterwards, I played with him and helped him walk around. He discovered a leaf and looked adorable, so I started snapping some shots.

Happy 1st Birthday!

Happy 1st birthday Braeden! This morning we went and took our one year pictures. Here are just a few from the photo shoot! He's such a cutie!!

First Halloween

Braeden got to enjoyall kinds of fall festivities the whole month of October. Halloween was supposed to be a lot of fun and the end of a fantastic month. We had fun getting Braeden dressed up and ready to go trick or treating. However, I don't think everyone else in the neighborhood was ready for us. We knocked on door after door and several people opened up the doors and said they have no candy! Boo! Plus the neighborhood was vacant...and it appeared we were the only ones out.

Even with some negative feedback, we kept going in hopes of a positive and happy experience for Braeden. By the end of the time we were out, people were finally on the streets and joining us to trick or treat. We called it quits by 6:45pm. Braeden rang his cow bell and was our delicious little baby the whole time!!

I think Braeden and Daddy had more fun after halloween was all over!

Birthday party numero UNO!

Saturday was Braeden's birthday party for friends in Tulsa. We enjoyed having our friends come over and getting to celebrate our little man's 1st birthday! He absolutely LOVED the cupcake that he got to eat. He devoured every bite that he could. He is definitely a sweets and candy lover, but what kiddo is not.

After the delicious cupcake, we helped Braeden open some presents. He loved everything he got!

**Thank you everyone for your wonderful birthday gifts for Braeden!!

After party clean up duty!! Braeden was all over sweeping the kitchen.  We all rested for a little bit and got ready for party number 2 of the day. We headed over to our friends Heather and Jeff's house. Their son Dominic had his 1st birthday party. Braeden and Dominic loved playing in the house and going in the bounce house. This afternoon was full of firsts for Braeden and he had a BLAST!!

Hallowmarine

Friday night we went to Hallowmarine at the Tulsa Aquarium. Mike got us in for free because he was going to pass out flyers and hand out candy at an OSU booth. We dressed Braeden up as a duck and had a great time. Braeden loved seeing all the kids and their costumes. First we went around trick or treating while Daddy was busy. Then we all went around and saw all the different fishes, turtles, sharks, and much much more. We had a great night and Braeden seemed to really enjoy all the craziness.

Vacation NEWS part 2

Next stop: Florida

On Tuesday morning, we headed to Florida to see some family and have fun. While we were there, we saw Nana, Aunt Grace and Uncle Dave, Aunt Debby and Uncle Bob (who flew down from Conneticut), Aunt Janet (who flew down from Boston), Cousins Chelsea and baby Savannah and Tara. Wednesday morning we went to the beach with Braeden. He loved eating the sand and seaweed. We had a great time in the sun and enjoying the weather. We went out to a fun seafood place for dinner with the family and spent the evening hanging out at Nana's house.

Thursday we checked out the famous Saw Grass Mills mall shopped around. Braeden loves to be around people and explore everything. Rainforest cafe was in mall and we took Braeden inside to see all the different fishes and animals. He loved every minute of it.

Friday we went down to Fort Lauderdale to go on a boat ride. We got to see all kinds of yachts and boats, millionaires homes, port everglades and so much more. Unfortunately, by this time of the trip Braeden had gotten sick and didn't enjoy anything. He slept in his car seat where ever we went and was as delicious as you could expect a baby with a cold. He even threw up on me 3 times, YES three times throughout the trip! Thankful he was a great sport and the fever went away after one day. We had a blast in Florida and look forward to making this a yearly trip for a while.
