Happy Birthday Braden!!!

Brady Boy is 11!!!!
Braden had a wonderful day, he stayed home from school and mom took him to see a movie! He got to go out to dinner with just mom and dad (he chose Tepenyaki) We enjoyed cake and ice cream with Grandma and pa Farr and Uncle Spencer. Please don't look too close to the disaster of a cake I made. Thankfully nobody cared, it still tasted great. As Tyson said when we were eating, "it is a good example of not judging a book by it's cover"
I can't believe it! He is growing up and maturing so fast. He is still our funny, laid back guy, who loves to play video games and veg in front of the tv. He also loves to beat up his dad and wrestle. He LOVES his babies and is always willing to do things for or with them, except change a poopie:) Braden plays basketball, flag football, and baseball, with a desire to try almost any sport. He continues to play the piano, though we are in between teachers at the moment. Braden wants to be a teacher when he grows up, and we think he will make a great one!! He has surprised us more than once this past year with his deep thinking. The other day he was talking to us about evolution and how he thought man did not evolve from apes, God created us. He continues to have a LOT of energy and likes to make people laugh. He is very social, sometimes too much for his teachers sake:) Braden is a joy in our home and we love him very much!!! Happy Birthday "sweep lips"
The birthday present....a new bike. Now that we don't have buses, he wanted some new wheels to ride back and forth from school.

Trouble

How could this sweet, innocent boy cause so much trouble? We all know the many messes that an 18 month old can cause. Well my sweet little boy does enough for himself and his sister!
Emptying the tissue box from the nightstand. Every time they watch tv in mom and dad's room, Justin has to climb on the table and destroy all that is on there. He loves to change the time on the clock and a few times has scared himself by turning on the radio with the sound all the way up!
Caught in the act...climbing onto the kitchen table to throw all the balls off!
The other morning I returned home from my run to find him on top of the table throwing all the crayons out of the crayon bucket. Jessica was coloring the tile floor. Spring needs to come so he can climb and explore outside...He is ALL boy!!

Who Needs Toys!

What do we do with these long, cold days inside you ask?? Well, we find whatever we can to entertain us. Today mom was doing laundry and we found that pushing the empty baskets around the house was quite fun! We would go down the hall, turn around, and come back to the kitchen. I, Justin, figured out this fun thing first and then Sissy copied me...Just had to put that out there since everyone thinks that I copy everything she does. This activity entertained us for quite awhile which made my mommy smile:)
