All These Children!

The results from five of my high school friends and me. Starting on the couch- Kaden and Makenna (Emily), Brayden (me), Josie and Caleb (Rachel)! Down on the floor- Chloe (Kate), Owen (Cricket) and David (Natalie)!

Christmas "Eve"

The Blamer's usually celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, but Matt and Amber were in Florida, so we celebrated the day after Christmas.

Brayden At Work

Brayden Came to Visit Daddy at work today, Looks like an Engineer in the making!

O Christmas Tree

Brayden putting things up high like daddy.

For all of you who may not have seen me lately, here is a belly shot that I actually think Brayden took!

All of our ornaments would reside on this one branch if it were up to Brayden. (And if they would actually stay on the tree after he put it on!)

Happy Birthday Brayden!

Happy Second Birthday Brayden!

Of course, we had to do a choo-choo theme for Brayden.

Blowing out the candle.. (Brayden had smooshed the candle down since the first picture! It is hard not to play with the choo-choo!) He got it on his first try!

Yummy!

He didn't quite understand the present thing at first, but watch out now!!

Big Boy Bed

Putting together the bed with daddy.

Practicing sleeping with daddy...

The next morning!

Fall Happenings

Our little lion...

Finding out that Play-Do is fun!

We were trying to get a good fall picture, but Brayden didn't want to cooperate very well.

Last tractor ride with daddy for the year!

Apple Picking

Brayden caught on quickly to picking apples. Luckily the trees were full and he could reach them all! He picked all our apples for us!

I would like to claim Brayden finally ate an apple... he came pretty close! Everytime he actually bit a chunk off, it ended up on the ground. He did enjoy sucking the juice!

Wee!!

After going to the petting zoo, we went to the park for a picnic and playtime. Brayden calls the slide "wee"!

Petting Zoo

Wedel's had a petting zoo and autumn fest thing this weekend. We went on Friday with Lauren and Landon.

Nothing to Say...

Zoo

Watching the wild horses

Some sort of monkey on Brayden's head... he did have fun even though he looks very serious. It was alot of new things for him to take in. He loves choo-choo's (trains), but has never seen one in person, so that was a new experience.

Riding the choo-choo with daddy

I couldn't get him to look at me on the ride, he just kept saying "choo-choo" (That is what his lips are doing here)

It was the highlight! There was also a tram to the Wild Africa section of the zoo, which was also a choo-choo to Brayden. When we were leaving, he kept saying bye-bye choo-choo! We think we even heard an "I love you" in there!
