Brayden turns 5!!!

Here are the famous Zhu Zhu pets!!! Brayden had been wanting a real hamster, and then he saw these little guys on TV and decided he would take the toy version over the real ones which was fine by me. Once I told him he would have to clean hamster poop, and that they smelled bad, he decided this would be a much better option. So for Brayden's 5th Birthday, I was bound and determined to get these little cuties for him. It took me 3 days of arriving at Toys R Us when they opened there doors and hitting 2 Wal Marts to finally get them. For some reason my children always want the hard to find gift?

My little Birthday cutie! He got his hair cut and finally let me spike it up! Rock on dude.....
So sweet and precious! I love his chubby cheeks and sweet little baby teeth :o).
(My camera has now decided it would throw this halo glowing effect, so I got a new little point and shoot, but these were obviously taken before hand. My Nikon D40 is also under the weather and I just sent it to Nikon repair today! Yikes I hate not having a camera that takes good pictures.) This picture was first thing in the morning on Sept. 24th. Brayden opening his Zhu Zhu pets stuff!!!
Yeah, just what I wanted!
The little hamsters even have tunnels and little cars etcetera to play with.
Just before school on his actual Birthday! He wanted a little badge that said It's my 5th Birthday and it had a flashing light. I think he liked the attention he got from everyone!
So handsome :o). Mommy's sweet boy!
For dinner on his Birthday, he wanted to go and eat at Red Robin's! We all had burger's and daddy had a chicken sandwich. They brought Brayden a ice cream sundae and the waiter's all sung Happy Birthday to him. He was smiling from ear to ear!
Bennett had been at karate practice and I took Brayden to his school's open house and we all meet up for dinner. Brayden sharing his ice cream with his brother.
Another family from the dojo also showed up at Red Robin's and this is the boys with Vinnie. Brayden thought they came to eat dinner with him, so we just left it at that, he was so happy that they were there. We sat out on the patio and it was a cool 97. (For Phoenix, that really is nice) It was perfect as we were the only families out there and the kids could be a little loud and we did not have to worry about offending anyone!
Well Saturday 9/26 we will celebrate Brayden's Birthday with a party at Lowe's grow and build clinic followed by lunch at McDonald's with cupcakes. I will update with party pictures from my new camera after tomorrow!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Baylor

Today you turn 2 sweet boy! How can it be, that 2 years have just flown by? You just 1 day old. Look at all that dark black hair. It could not be any blonder now though. A family friends little boy asked my if I dyed your hair blond. Ha!

Here you are on your 1st Birthday. and today on your 2nd Birthday! You love i-kean(ice-cream)!!!! Your big brother Bennett was making you laugh so cute, even though this picture is blurry I thought it completely shows your fun sweet personality. Right now you LOVE Mel-mo(Elmo) and for your birthday you got an Elmo Live doll. Let's just say this was a huge hit! Elmo sure has come a long way since your brother Bennett got Tickle me Elmo. This Elmo tells stories, sings, hugs, sneezes etc....
Tomorrow is your little Birthday party, so I'll will update again after your special party with your 3 little school friends.
Other things you like right now: Thomas The Train, Disney Cars, trucks and cars, being outside, playing at school with Matthew and Samantha, we call you "The camel" because you would drink non-stop if we would let you! Ha...Playing with your big brothers, dancing and music, bubbles, brushing your teeth, and climbing anything in sight! You still go to your Parents Day Out program at our church on Wednesday from 9-1pm and go to the gym daycare with mommy on other days.
Our prayer for you this year is that you will continue to grow strong, stay healthy, and keep your sweet and loving personality. We love you Baylor and are excited for all the Lord has planned for you. You sure are a blessing to us all!
