VACATION!!!!

This year for vacation we went to California!!! Aunt Sheila and Uncle Jay and their family moved to near LA in January!!! They have a great location, and we were able to see so much of LA and what it has to offer!! It was really hot though this year and reached 100 degrees nearly every day!!! We were not prepared for that but had a great time anyway!!! We went to the pool, beach, zoo and spent a day at Disneyland for Brayden's birthday!!!
This was the first time that we have been away from home for a week and since we stayed at family's house Brayden was heart broken that we had to leave his cousins!!! It was awesome to see them interact all week and we are surely going to miss them after such a great week!!!
 




 We were there for his birthday and if Disneyland wasn't enough for him to celebrate we came back to Aunt Sheila's to a party!!! He had presents, cake and decorations!!! He was thrilled!! A little tired from being at Disney when it was 100 degrees all day but he snuck a little nap in on the way home!!!

 
I think that his favorite part of Disneyland was Goofy's Kitchen!! He talked about it all year and couldn't wait to go back this year!! He loves that the characters come up and interact with him during his meal and give him buttons, and cupcakes!!! Plus they have a great dessert bar which helps!!! This year Minnie Mouse was his favorite by far!! She came back to the table at least 3 times and he loved every second of it!!! He couldn't believe she kept coming back and I think she knew he was so thrilled she couldn't stay away!!





















I am way behind!!!

May always brings a busy month for us!! With birthdays, Mother's Day, Brayden's Birthday and party, and we always try to go on vacation during the month too!! This year was no different. Supercrazy month!! I have found a bunch of pictures that I haven't put on here and I am still getting ready for his first friend birthday party!! Big deal around here!! He is so excited, he can hardly wait for his friends from school to be at his house!!
Here is Brayden wanting daddy to do his hair with goop!! I guess 4 really is big, no more baby here!!!
 

 Papa trying to get Brayden from opening all of Maddie's presents at her birthday party!! He sure does love his papa so it worked for a little while!!


Brayden learning about girl toys!! He couldn't quite figure out why it was fun to dress dolls!!! He kept wanting them to fight or at least fly!!

Brayden showing off his new moves!! Every day he comes up with new moves and sometimes I am able to capture them, you know they will never be replayed!!! He cracks us up when he entertains himself!!!


 Frist time on the tire swimg at the park! He is finally starting to like swinging for a little bit at least!!








BIG BOY carseat!! He convinced us he was ready, and he doesn't really like it!!! It doesn't have any where to put his head when he sleeps, so another trip to the store for a highback booster!!!

4 year old Questions???

Here goes the same questions as last year, and we just got back from a similar vacation so some of the responses are the same!! Brayden had his 4 year old MD check up and again checks out as a healthy thriving little guy!! He didn't want to go to the doctor this time, and told me many times that you only go to the doctor when your sick and that he wasn't sick. We had downloaded an app on his ipad about the doctor and what they do so he did pretty good with all the normal checks! They attempted an eye test, and he wanted nothing to do with it to be honest. He doesn't tolerate a patch over his eye and had both doctors and the nurse laughing pretty good!!!  He got 2 shots and his finger pricked for a hemoglobin level. He did amazing. He whined a little after the 1st shot and then after both shots he told me "Good thing we are already going to the Big Red Store and you owe me 2 toys now"!!! The best news is he doesn't need any more shots till 6th grade!
He was:
43 inches tall
43 pounds
