Bradyen is 7 TODAY!

Seven things I love about this kid:

*His sMiLe melts my heart! He has always had such a beautiful, contagious smile!
*Loves to learn! Amazes me how much this kid takes in! What a smarty pants!
*Is the LOUDEST child in our family! Brayden from the beginning of his little life to the present day, just has the ability to be LOUD! You can't NOT hear him! Love it....most of the time!
*Mr. SOCIAL! He lives to play with friends & loves to go to their houses or have them come over to ours! Seems to know an awful lot about every kid at school!
*I love that he isn't too cool for the matching pj sets! He wears his pjs with pride every night...even if they are a bit too small! Teagen would not be caught dead in them! I think it keeps Brayden young & innocent, but that's just me! :)
*He isn't afraid to do things or try something new!
*Willing to give what ever he has to any one! The tooth fairy brought him $2 the other night & he couldn't figure out why he got 2 & not 1. I told him it was because the tooth fairy wanted him to share with his mom....so naturally he tried to give me one of his dollars! He'd do that for any one!

Brayden, I sure do love you! I am so grateful you came into my life 7 years ago & so grateful for the many things I have learned from you! I hope you keep smiling through out your life & always know how much your mom & dad love you!

Opening presents before school! Showing off his $7 from Grandpa & ma Mortensen!
Kiley is on call today, so he didn't have to be in until 3. We took Brayden his favorite......Subway for lunch at school! It was fun to sit & spend some time with him at school!
Had 3 buddies over for some pizza & cupcakes & ice cream!
Crazy kids!!!
The fun Super Mario Brothers mushroom cupcakes I made for his class!

Yup, another kid turning another year older......why on earth does time seem to fly as a parent!??! I need it to slow down......my kids are growing up way too fast & I don't like it!
