Brayden turns 3!

Wow, we can't believe that Brayden turned 3 this week. These years have gone so fast, but yet we couldn't imagine our family without him. He has a laid back spirit, but is still a 3 year old who loves to play. He has a lot of patience and will work on something until he figures it out (that reminds me of Travis:) He loves playing with his baby sister and of course mommy and daddy and his best friends, Cooper, Pedro, and Tanner. He still loves Elmo, but is really into trains, airplanes, cars, play dough, coloring, books, trucks and especially garbage trucks. One of his favorite things to do is play basketball. He loves watching it on TV and will watch a whole game with Travis (the only other thing he will watch is Sesame Street). So this year we decided to do a basketball birthday party. He loved it! I tried to keep it simple with pizza, games, cake, and of course presents. I really enjoy planning and doing the kids birthday parties. I think it's fun and a special day of the year to celebrate them. I hope that eventually they will look back at their birthday parties and know that mommy and daddy loved them very much. We thank God for Brayden and pray that he will love the Lord the rest of his life! We love you Brayden!
