Fun in Raleigh!

This year we were able to visit Brayden's Aunt Mo and Uncle Tom and his cousin's Katie ("Tay-tee") and Keegan ("Tee-gan) in Raleigh, NC.

We realized on the way to the airport that this was Brayden's 4th round trip flight in his short little life :). He is such a traveler!

We had a great time during our visit. We went to the children's museum called Marbles twice. We had beautiful weather so we were able to play out side a lot. We watched one of Keegan's basketball games and Aunt Mo took us to see some pretty neat fish at a local aquarium store. Most of all we really enjoyed playing and visiting with our family.

We can't wait to see them again soon.

Splish Splash

Last year it seemed as if Brayden really didn't get used to the water in our neighborhood pool. So this year we started with swim lessons and he is really coming around. I think the 92 degree water has some help with him enjoying splashing around and getting accustomed to the pool. We litterally jumped right in. Brayden is learning to kick and splash and jump in and go under while blowing bubbles. He is really enjoying himself. So far we have had a couple visitors watch us enjoy our new love of water. My mom came with us to our first lesson and Michael has been able to watch us too. We enjoy it so much we are signing up for the next session just in time for the pool to open in May...we can't wait for summer and we know it'll be here before we know it.

My Funny Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day to my family! Today we celebrated Valentine's day as a family. Just before Valentine's Day Brayden and I decorated some very cute valentine's day cards and mailed them to our family and friends.

Then on Valentine's Day evening Michael and I prepared a fun fondue dinner complete with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot of fun to set the table in the dinning room and enjoy making and dipping the yummy dinner. I couldn't have asked for two sweeter or funnier valentines.
