Brayden's 1st Eye Apt

I took Brayden to his first eye doctor appointment today. I was SURE when I made the appointment that he would need glasses. His eyes are super sensitive to light and he squints some when watching TV. To my surprise - no need for glasses right now. Doctor said he was a little far sighted but not enough to do anything about it right now. I guess we are all born farsighted so it may just correct itself. His sensitivity to light is just because he is so fair skinned and his eyes are so blue. So sunglasses will be a regular part of his wardrobe. I am suppose to take him back for another appointment sometime between the ages 5-6. Funny story about when we were there. Instead of using letters on the wall like they do adults...they use pictures instead (airplane, bird, cake, etc). They start off with large pictures then move the same pictures to a smaller size. After doing the first few sizes Brayden says, "I already did that one, airplane AGAIN". LOL. It was so funny!

Here is my cutie watching TV with his sunglasses on just before leaving for his appointment:

Kunka Poo Panda Party

Today we celebrated Brayden's 4th birthday. We had a small party at pizza king. Brayden decided he wanted a 'Kunka Poo Panda' party (aka Kung Fu Panda). I think it is so cute to hear him say it that way.

Here is the birthday boy on the way to his party:

I had a custom outfit made for his party. I just LOVE the hat:

This is Brayden standing on the table yelling, "PRESENT TIME":

This is a present from the Baumgarts. Juan wrapped it with candy:

Another present from the Baumgarts. I just LOVE the look on his face in this one. He was so excited to get it...every time he had seen this game on the commercial he would say, "me want that":

Singing happy birthday to my baby then cake time:

Another one of his stanging on the table yelling:

Thank you to everyone that came and made this special day even more special!

Can't believe my baby is 4 already :(

What a life!

Watching TV and eating chips all while chillin' on the potty:

What a life! LOL!

I miss you Zoie :(

Finally got Zoie's cremains. Here they are in the box with her pictures and collar. We will put her up on the shelf with Kiara.

Happy 4th Birthday Brayden

Since Brayden had a fever yesterday we weren't sure how he would wake up feeling today so we didn't plan much for his birthday. Instead him and I just hung around the house while daddy worked. Daddy did get off early though and brought him home ballons:

One of the presents we got him were these 'Go Paint' Finger paints. If you haven't seen these yet you have to check it out. It works like the 'wonder colors' and will only make color on its own special paper. So no paint mess all over to clean up. It is a type of powder and when you rub it on the paper it makes color:

We also got him some mini cupcakes to celebrate. Here he is picking out the perfect one:

Now carefully opening it:

YUMMY:

Some of the other presents he got are: Color Splitz Pens, Spongebob book for his Tag pen and the Stuart Little movie. This kid has almost every movie imaginable.

Daddy and him checking out the new pens:

Now he can hardly wait for his 'Kunka Poo Panda' (aka Kung Fu Panda) party. I can't believe my baby is FOUR!

Happy Easter?

Easter morning Brayden woke up with a fever of 102. He was feeling so yucky he didn't even care that the Easter Bunny had brought him something. Worked out in my favor since the day before I was in bed all day super sick throwing up and didn't have time to get his basket together. Instead I just grabbed a handfull of stuff I had put away for him and gave that to him.

I hoped that the candy pooping bunny would cheer him up:

Kubota wishing he could eat some bunny poop:

Mama Kitty watching over everything:

After some Motrin he was feeling good enough to eat some of his chocolate bunny:

This is what happens when you eat chocolate with a fever:

Melts in your hands, not in your mouth:

After a bit I finally threw his basket together:

He LOVED opening the eggs to see what surprise was in them:

I had to take video of him opening the eggs cause he was being SO cute. He was so excited about all of them - even if it had the same thing in it as the last one:

Photo Sharing - Video Sharing - Photo Printing

He had to open EVERY egg before he even looked at what was in his basket:

Here are ALL the baskets I did this year (not showing the twins since I hadn't gotten theres together yet). I did a total of 8:

Then we headed off to Nanny & Papa's house!

Here is NiKilie with the basket we got her:

The basket we got Chantel:

Auntie makes the best never-ending baskets!

Cutest Easter Bunny ever:

So all in all - even with the sicknesses - I would say we still had a pretty good Easter☺

Coloring Easter Eggs

I was SO super sick that I wasn't able to color Easter egss with Brayden this year. Instead I was in bed feeling like I was going to die (I probably threw up 10 times in a six hour span). So daddy took on the chore and even took pictures so I wouldn't totally miss out on it!

Look at the excitment on his face:





There is a smile for mommy:



He said he did pink egss just for me:

Thank you daddy for taking care of sickly me, coloring eggs with Brayden and still managing to get pictures to! We ♥ you!

Easter Exchange

I am on this GREAT online moms group that I really enjoy (just wish I had more time to be involved in it). For the past few holidays we have been doing a gift exchange with the kids. So for Easter I was really looking forward to the exchange. We got a 7 year old girl so we did her a theme gift with lots of Hannah Montana stuff, finger nail polish, nail dryer, etc. We are suppose to have a $10 limit (including shipping) but I never stick to it. I always tend to over buy....but I love it. Even threw in a little something for her mommy. Brayden got his in the mail and it was jammed packed with FUN stuff: chalk, candy, crayons, bubbles, games, etc.

Oh the anticipation (see his box on the bottom of the stack of mail:

Digging in:

A Bug Kit:

This was a neat little thing! It has gummy worms on the top then the bottom part was a powder mix that you just add to water to make a kool-aid type drink:

Of course, the gummy worms were a hit:

All the loot:

Thank to Renee and Caleigh for taking part in this with us!
