The hunt for the Perfect Christmas Tree

Bragen's 1st Thanksgiving

Meeting Santa

So Bragen met Santa for the first time on Saturday...and hated him!! Here are some pics. Enjoy.

First Tooth....Teeth!!!

Bragen finally got his first tooth...and a second one followed about two weeks later (not that I was rushing them..especially since I am still nursing:)) He's had them a little over a month now...here are some pics of my funny boy.

10 Months Old!!!

Here is Bragen's 10 month slide show. I can't believe how big he is getting and how time is FLYING. Brody and I love being parents...he is such a bright spot in our lives! He is so independent and has such a strong personality. He is walking along the furniture and just recently has gotten brave enough to let go and stand on his own for a few seconds at a time. I know soon he will be walking...which I have to say I'm not quick to hurry....by the way the beautiful rocking chair is a wonderful gift from the Feik's!! Thanks Merle and Bertha

Clean Teeth

I love these pics of Bragen brushing his teeth. He loves it!!...but throws a HUGE fit when you take it away:)

Friends

Here are some pics of Bragen and our friend's daughter Paige (who is 3 months older than Bragen). He has such a good time with her. I watched her while her mom had an appt. They played together so well, minus Bragen pulling her hair!!

Discovering New Things

Here are some cute pics (as if ALL of them aren't:)) of Bragen playing in the grass outside while Brody and Steve finish putting in the new kitchen windows...the start of our remodeling project...which I'm glad to say is just about finished..or at least on the downhill slope now!!

A Day in Bragen's shoes

Here are some pics of Bragen... doing every day activities. He is so funny and such a good boy. He is crawling all over the place, pulling himself up and walking along things. He is absolutely fearless. I can't beleive how the time flies by. I love him so much and enjoy watching him be HIM everyday. He cracks me up.

1st Halloween Costume

So I'm not real big on Halloween, but couldn't resist the urge to dress Bragen up. He is going to be a horse. Here are a couple pics.

9 Months Old..Pic Slideshow

So I can hardly believe my little guys is already 9 months old. It's hard to beleive it's even the same kid. He is sooo funny. I love every second about being a mom...yes even the tired, I want to pull my hair out moments!! I wouldn't change it for the world.

3 Years and a baby later...

Brody and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary this last week!! Wow how time flies. We had a real low key night at home, bar-b-q'd steaks and watched a movie at home, despite a couple of offers for people to watch Bragen. We are pretty happy at our home spending time with our little man!! It was a good day...I am sooo blessed with the life I have been given. I have a wonderful husband, who just so happens to be an amazing, hands on daddy!! How could I be so selfish to ask for more? Sometimes we tend to get caught up in the busyness of everyday life, and the stresses that go along with it...money, work, etc, that we forget to slow down and look at the blessings we've been given. I know my life gets hectic, but at the end of the day I have the good Lord to thank for giving me and my family good health, jobs that pay the bills, and the continued love that fills my home!! Here are a couple of pics we took on our anniv!!

8 Month Picture Slide Show

Mobile Boy!!

So Bragen is crawling now..actually it's like a worm when he has to go fast...it's pretty comical to watch. I can't believe how the time is flying by..he's 8 months old already!! Can't beleive it.

Daddy Time

Here are some cute pics of Brody reading to Bragen before bed...I love my boys!!

Cool Dude

My mother-in-law watched Bragen the other day for my while I got a massage!!! (and boy was it needed) and, as always, brought Bragen a gift...sunglasses and a toothbrush (she's a hygienest). He was not thrilled about me putting the glasses on him, but I was able to get some cute pics!! Lisa is such a good Grandma and loves Bragen so much...I am so thankful for her part in his (and our) life!!
