On Braydens 6 mth birthday Sean informed me while I was at work that he took Braydens "bear" picture. So when I got home from work I turned on the camera and these are the pictures that I saw. Now granted they are adorable because I can just tell what type of mood he must of been in when daddy attempted to take these picts. He just would not sit still. There is definitely a lot of activity going on as you can see from the blurry photos.

These are the pictures I then promptly took after that. He has rosy cheeks and drool all down his shirt but hey, that is how we live these days. He sat so good and smiled so cute.

Just relaxin with my friend the bear. Anyone got a drink?

Hey Big Spender!!!!!

So Sean and I decided that we had not spent enough money this year so we decided to buy a new car last Friday. After all Sean's car was working out fine for his daily commutes to and from work but with no heat we were a little scared to put our so in it this winter. So after several hours of research we decided to test drive 3 different SUV's. Well because of the government cash for clunkers program there were hardly ANY vehicles left to choose from around here. So we test drove this one and then a Toyota but we couldn't find any thing that we liked better than this one so we decided to get it. It is a Hyundai Santa Fe and it only had 72 miles on it when we bought it. We are both excited to have a new car and we really like all of the room that we now have to haul all of our baby stuff around. We got a really GOOD deal on it and it has an excellent warranty that we couldn't pass up!

Sean driving his new car! He is all smiles when he is behind the wheel!

4 months He is kind of scrunched down and doesn't look as big as he really is! He has his 4mth appt on Aug 17 so we will see how big he really is.

At the Bismarck Zoo, he slept thru almost the whole thing but woke up at the end.

Daddy and Brayden with the Clydesdale's.

Enjoying the stroller at the Painted Canyon by Medora!

Can you tell it was a little windy?

Uncle Jamie got some good bonding time with Brayden on this trip!

His cowboy hat provided some nice shade as Brayden does not like the sun AT ALL.

Cute sweater and hat from Emmy Wolfgram!

Our attempt at a family pict, I don't like how I look but I love how Brayden is staring right at the camera!

Here is something you don't see every day. Uncle Kerry holding a baby? He did great and didn't even seem nervous.

Here we are bundled up cause it was really windy at Cousin Myles baseball game.

Watch Out Daddy! Here comes Brayden!

Look at those chubby little legs. SOOO cute!

3 month pics taken at Sears

All smiles

First time in the grass, it must have felt weird on his head cause he kept turning his head side to side. Taken on July 4th.

and Uncle Jamie time with matching hats.

This is my favorite picture. Make it bigger and you feel like you are in the clouds yourself.

My big boy!!!!! And I am not talking about Sean ;)

Ok here we are at 1 month old.
And here we are at 2 mths old! SOOO Big!

Here we are today at 11.5 weeks old. He is enjoying his new exersaucer that we got on a clearance sale at babies R us. He needs to be propped up a little bit with a blanket but he really enjoys it. His toes are just centimeters away from touching the bottom. Can you tell what the theme of the toy is? Thats right Farm animals! Sean looked and looked for one that had the Minneapolis skyline but just wasn't able to find anything. HaHa.

I guess he would rather chew on the seat cover than play with the toys!

This may be the best picture that I have taken lately. I had him sitting on the couch and he was just so smiley so I grabbed the camera and got a good picture. Lately he has been crying every time I get the camera out. It has been hard to capture his cute smiles. He is also on the verge of laughing or giggling out loud. So fun!

Profile picture!

This one has blurry hands as they are in motion. Ok all of you photo experts, what kind of setting do I need for taking pictures in motion so that they are not blurry?

Playing with his friends the monkey and the giraffe.

Ahh so peaceful.

Ok this definitely a daddy picture and moment. Dang it I gotta get me some Sioux clothing and quick!

This was taken at Lindenwood park in
Fargo where we enjoy going for an evening stroll. This spot was way under water this spring in the great flood of 09.

Here are my boys taken in Niagara behind my parents house on a beautiful sunset and evening. We went for a walk and were fortunate to have seen this sunset. Gotta love Sean's shirt.

Here are a few pictures and a video for you to enjoy. 2 months old tomorrow more then...................
