BIG BOY BIKE

We are trying to get this little boy to pedal a bike!! He has backwards down but doesn't

doesn't get too far forwards!! He looks cute trying though!! He is so proud of his BIG BOY BIKE and I am sure it won't be too long before he rides it like a champ!!

He is giving his old bike a tune up quick before he rides his new one!!!

More Fun with Disney App

Birthday Party!!!

 

As you can imagine Brayden's birthday party was a success!!! He loved it, the jumpy thing, the presents, the desserts, and all the kids!!! I have tons of pictures from that day but most of them are blurry because he was moving so fast!!! He was entertained and didn't even want mommy to hold him the whole day!! He has enjoyed him birthday so much this year, I think that he is ready for another one!! He told us yesterday that for his next birthday, like in a few days he NEEDS legos!!! What a cutie pie!! Happy 3rd Birthday Brayden!!! We love you!!!

We love you so much and are looking forward to all the years to come!! Continue to be you and be the strong willed little guy we have raised!!!

Disneyland 2013

We just got back from Disneyland for Brayden's 3rd Birthday!! We had so much fun, there is so much do in the area and it is all related to kids!! It truly was a vacation all geared towards him!! I feel very fortunate that we were able to do this with him already!!!

It all started with getting up really early and going to the airport for the first plane ride!! On the way there he did amazing, he was awake all the way to the airport, pulled his luggage all the way from the parking lot to the check in. We got on the airplane and he slept 3 of the 4 hour ride. The other hour was good!! What a champ!! There was only 1 other kid on the flight and he was ride across the isle from us so after the plane landed and we were stuck on the tarmac Brayden shared his rescue bots with this little boy and they sat in the isle and played!! He shared his brand new favorite toys, what proud parents we were then!! Then the real fun began. Uncle Dan picked us up at the airport and we were off for 4 days of fun!!! 

We did Goofy's Kitchen for Brayden's birthday dinner and he loved it!! Characters were all over the place and came to see him throughout dinner so finally a peaceful dinner for us too!! We swam at the pool, went to the beach, went to Disneyland and Adventure land, Downtown Disney, saw fireworks, water and lights show, and parades!! How much fun could a 3 year old have in 4 days!! I think we were all maxed on fun for sure!!

 By the end of the trip Brayden was quite the flirt. He found girls to flirt with on rides and ofcourse they all thought he was cute and he loved that!! He loved Snow White and Minnie Mouse was his favorite!! We went to Goofy's Kitchen to eat twice because he said that was his new favorite restaurant, and it wasn't McDonalds so were excited!! He also loved roller coasters!! The only ride he asked to ride twice was the  roller coaster in Toon Town at Disneyland!! He probably would of rode it 10 more times if we would of let him!!
Brayden woke up one morning and told us that this was "the best Birthday ever"!! That was all we needed to hear to know that this is all worth it!! Here are a bunch of pictures from the trip!!!
