Cute Braedon moments!

Okay, so pretty much every day (at least to me) is a cute Braedon moment. But I have a couple of stories that I hope you all might enjoy!
First off, Braedon has learned how to pray! The last couple of months when we would tell Braedon it was prayer time it would be a struggle to even get him to fold his arms and usually he would just laugh through the entire prayer. So, completely off the praying topic, Derek learned a little trick from my dad (that my dad uses on his dog!) in order to get Braedon's attention. When Derek wants to get Braedon to come to him so he can change his diaper he will fold his arms and turn his head pretending to ignore Braedon and Braedon comes running. Well, back on the praying topic, the other day Derek was doing this little trick and instead of running to Derek, Braedon folded his arms and said "Heavenly Father, Amen." So, Braedon is now the one who says the prayers in our home! It is great because they are so short!
Okay, second, and last cute story for the day! Yesterday I was going to get Braedon out of his crib from his nap. He immediately said what I thought to be "where's Daddy?" but I didn't know for sure so I said "what?" Maybe thinking I didn't know who daddy was he then said, "Derek...where's Derek?" I thought it was so funny!
Okay, I hope you all enjoyed those cute Braedon moments as much as I did. He is much funnier in person than in my stories I am sure!

The ZOO!

Yesterday my dad had the day off so we went to the Zoo! It was lots of fun! It was also very nice because there wasn't very many people there and the weather was beautiful! Braedon loves animals so he had the time of his life!

This is a picture of my parents (Grandma and Grandpa) and the grandchildren (Tyler, Drew, Braedon, and Mandy).


At the playground in the zoo there is a really big teeter totter (sp?). My mom got on with Braedon and he was having so much fun!


We then put Mandy next to Braedon. My dad was making them bounce up and down and they were laughing so hard!

Tag!

Okay, so Erin tagged me a while ago and I have finally decided that I should think of 6 things about myself for you all to read! Anyway, here goes nothing!

1. I love being a mom! I have an almost 19 month old little boy named Braedon. He keeps my day full of excitement and joy! Just this morning I was changing his diaper and he was trying to run away so I said "Braedon" in a firm voice and he said, "Mommy, chill out!" How am I suppose to enfore anything when he is constantly making me laugh!

2. The highlight of my day is just after lunch! Braedon and I turn on music (usually Donny Osmond Christmas CD) and we sing and dance. He has a new dance to show me everyday! It is so cute!

3. I love to find new things to decorate my home with. The fun never ends when it comes to that!

4. I have an obsession with organization. I'm sure I got from my mother!

5. I would love to move to Arkansas! Most people wonder why, but where my dad is from it is beautiful, and it would be a fun change!

6. I have a huge fear of driving. I will get out of it whenever I can because it seriously terrifies me.

Okay, well that is it! That is a little part of me! If you want to be tagged go ahead and do this for yourself!
