Memorial Day Fun

What did you do over Memorial Day weekend?
Well, here I am--chillin' out on the drive to KC. I loaded down Mom's car with all of my stuff (no joke) and we took off with Aunt Andi to meet Uncle Luke, Aunt Christie & cousin Parker in Kansas City.


Here we are hangin' out while Parker teaches me the little piggy thingy--whatever.

I was more interested in practicing my swing. Look at that form! You can never start too early, I say.

I met some other new friends, too. Yeah, that's me with the drool-drenched shirt--chics dig me! Then you have Parker, cheesin' for the cam, along with Gabby & Reagan (Parker's other cousin).

Parker & I were both sick (each in our own way), but we still had a ball with each other. We mostly tried to copy what the other was doing. What fun!

I helped Parker play one of his favorite games, TickleTickleTickle, with supervision from his mom. But that's only because the first time I tried it, no one really explained the rules, see. And we were standing up, and there was this part where he fell down as I was trying to tickle him, and--well, you get the point.


There evidently always has to be a "cousin picture" at these get-togethers. Someone should really tell parents that they will NEVER get all parties involved to hold still long enough.

Better get a faster shutter speed, Mom!

Green Thumb

Well, it's evidently true when Dad says the work around the house is never done. The planting continues!


But, where else would you get to wear this awesome dirt goatee?

Sometimes I think Dad doesn't know what he's talking about--this really doesn't seem to be that hard!

Playground

See my new toy? I absolutely LOVE it!

I love to climb, crawl, tunnel, hide, slide--you name it!

I've even expanded my word count with things such as: "Ready, set, GO!" & the ever-so-popular "Wheeeeeeeeeee".

After a while, though, it's back to the old standby: throwing rocks!

Happy Mother's Day

Please join me in wishing my Mom a Happy Mother's Day!
I think she really liked the flowers I brought her.

What Happens When...

I would like to finally take some time out to show you "what happens when..."
Such as: What happens when Mom asks me to stand still so she can take my picture?

Or, what happens when someone asks me where Froggie's eye is?



You may ask what happens when Mom tells me not to play with the shovel. I usually pretend I didn't hear her.


In that case, what happens when Mom wasn't kidding and she takes it away? You guessed it--major fit-throwin'!

What happens when Mom asks me to help plant flowers?

Well, the dirt tends to end up all over me & in my mouth, and I seem to get distracted easily.

Finally, here's what happens when Dad gets to change my clothes. He thought this was hilarious!

Braden's world is full of new and exciting things on a daily basis, especially now that baby sister has arrived.
