He is such a man!

As Braden and I were getting ready to watch The Price is Right (his new favorite show), Braden sits down next to me on the couch and says

"Hey momma, get up"
"Why?"
"Momma, get up and make me some dinner I want to watch TV!"
I have no idea where he got this from. Travis doesn't talk to me that way (he'd be dead if he did). I just looked at Braden told him that his lunch was on the table next to him and that it is not nice to demand things from people; if he was hungry he needs to ask nicely for momma to get him something.
What a man!!! (this will be nipped in the bud before too long.

Baking Brownies for Dada's Birthday

Yesterday, February 17, was Travis' birthday. Braden and I decided to make him his favorite brownies, Ghiradelli Turtle, instead of a cake this year. Braden helped with pouring in the oil, the water, and even with stirring. When everything was mixed in he asked if he could taste it and I let him take a taste off of the spoon. He then was more than happy to lick the spoon, the spatula (after I scraped all of the batter into the pan) and eventually the bowl. He told me that it was very good and that we had done a good job. Happy Birthday Dada!!!!

The Growing Belly!

I decided I needed some belly pictures on here so I took some myself. They are a little up close, but hopefully I will have some full body ones later. I'll get Travis to take them for me. I am 26 weeks along now. We still do not have a name, but we have some ideas. Just like we did with Braden we will let everyone know his name after he is born.

Something else to do with bowling pins

Braden was playing with his "little tiny bowling set" and the next thing I knew he was calling for me to come and see what he made. I turned around and there he was proud as anything with his bowling pins that he had made into a question mark and the number seven. Here are a few pictures of his creations.

It snowed . . . again!

Well, it snowed again! This time it was enough to make snowballs and a snowman. While Braden pelted us with snowballs, Dada, Pop, and I made a snowman; Braden named him Archer. Braden loved the snow and boy did it show!!!

Potty Time!

For the past month or so we have really been cracking down on getting Braden potty trained. This morning while waiting to "go" he asked for one of Dada's books. I handed him a Sports Illustrated and couldn't resist the opportunity to take a picture. He was really into it too!
