Learning and growing

Brayden is almost 5 (in a few months don't remind me - my heart hurts thinking about it) but he really is learning and growing so much. He loves to draw and color and stay busy. He is writing now his first and last name. He will go into the private kindergarten class at his school in August since he won't be five yet until October - so he won't officially start elementary until next fall. Thank goodness! One more year for mommy! :)
A painting Brayden recently painted - love anything abstract so I will frame this one for sure.  He said it was a large elevator coming down on a smaller elevator - so there you go. 
At the library - we have gone a lot this summer and checked out books.  He has really enjoyed it! He really loves books.
Our last name is a hard one - but he is really tackling it! 
Loves playing on iPad - especially the coloring book.

Fourth of July

Fun at the Lakewood parade on 4th of July

Swimming

Brayden took swimming lessons and has really taken to swimming this year- he has become quite the little fish! We have spent lots of time in the pool and at the splash park. Anything to beat the summer heat!
Fun swimming with his buddy Grady
I love this shot - don't capture many of these great moments at the right time often.
Brayden graduating to the next level at Dolphin Swim School.

TBall

Brayden played TBall this summer for the first time and LOVED it. It was fun watching him doing something finally he really enjoyed. Got lots of pics of course :)
First practice
Getting his trophy from Coach Clay
Pure joy - popsicles post-game
Such a fun team - can't wait until next season!

Charlee's Dance Recital

Went to see my niece Charlee perform in her first dance recital - of course she was the most precious one there!
