June

In June John decided to grace us with his presence. Braeden was sooo excited to get to play with Uncle John. They spent a good amount of time goofing off in the backyard with water guns and water balloons. After a small fall on Braeden's part, because he was trying to be like Uncle John, we decided to get out of the sun and took John bowling. It was nice to get to kick it with John for a little bit since we never get to see him.

It really didn't get too hot this summer but on the handful of days that it was really hot we took a little trip to Centerville to play at the splash park. Braeden LOVES to go out there and run amuck.

We also found ways to stay cool at home with the sprinkler ball.

May

Since it has been sooooo long since I have posted I am just going to drop in a bunch of pictures with short descriptions. Hopefully this will catch everyone up on what has been going on here for the past several months. So lets begin with MAY!

Rachel and I signed the boys up for free bowling for the summer and here a couple of pictures of the boys in action.

Braeden also got a little fire power this spring. Here he is schoolin' Travis on how to shoot a water gun. Don't forget the Charlie's Angels pose.

The three of us did a little hiking in Yellow Springs in May. Braeden was always willing to cheese it up for Travis to snap a quick pic.

School Pictures

That's right it is that time of the year again...school pictures. Once again they turned out great. I mean sometimes it is hard having the best looking kid at daycare.

Easter

As promised...an Easter post.

I know

I know I am the worst about updates on my blog but hopefully I will get a little better in the next couple of months. If I don't update my blog perhaps I will have Braeden do it for me since Travis walked in on him doing this today...

I may have to help him a little bit with spelling but if I don't I am sure you will be able to figure out what he is trying to say. Well that is all for me for now. Be on the lookout for a few Easter pics and school pics soon. I can't promise how soon though.

It's Snowing

We finally got some snow this month! Our first snow arrived about two weeks ago and left about two inches for Braeden to play in.

Braeden was soooo excited about the snow falling. He has been asking to build a snowman almost every day since last winter. Luckily the snow we got was awesome snowman snow. Braeden and Travis had a great time playing in the snow building snowmen and throwing snowballs at each other. Here they are hard at work.

Now for the finished product...

Shortly after Little Snowman was finished the boys had a snowball fight. This is by far my favorite picture of the fight.

Once we got back over to the other house the boys built yet another little snowman.

It didn't take long for the snow to melt from the first "winter storm." This time we finally got a decent amount of snow. Doesn't it look like Braeden is super excited about the snow?

Travis went out and cleared some of the sidewalk to show just how much snow we got.

Since we didn't have anything else to do Travis thought it would be fun to take Braeden out sledding for the first time.

I opted to stay at the bottom of the hill for a little bit and take pictures while Travis and Braeden had a ball sledding together down Wright Bros. Hill.

Here is a picture of Travis chillin' before hiking back to the top of the hill.

Braeden took a little rest on the stump in the middle of the field.

Travis finally snatched the camera away from me and forced me up the hill to sled a little bit. While Braeden and I hiked to the top of the hill Travis snapped this picture that I LOVE.

Once I made it to the top of the hill I did have a good time sledding with Braeden. Can you tell he is on the sled with me?

My little man decided after going down with both Travis and myself that he was ready to go down all by himself. Travis took him about halfway up the hill and sent him on his way. Braeden was not the least bit scared as you can see from this picture.

Here he is once he got to the bottom of the hill.

"I wanna do it again!"

After about an hour and a half of sledding we were all pretty tired and ready to go. We all had an excellent time playing in the snow however I won't be too sad once all the snow is gone.

Happy New Year!!!!!
