A Fish Named Ruby

Yesterday Braden and I went to the store to pick out a birthday gift for his friend Micah's 3rd birthday. Braden wanted to get Micah a fish and the little fellow suckered me in to buying one for him too! Braden picked out a blue fish for Micah and he chose a red fish for himself. When we got in the car I asked him what he wanted to name his fish and he said "Darby, you know like on Nemo." I thought it was funny since the fish on Nemo is named Dori! I told him that when I was in college I had a red fish named Ruby and thn he wanted to change his fish to Ruby. It is really funny because he says Ruvy!

Snow 2010

Well it happened again!!! We had another big snow in little ol' Covington, Ga! They cancelled school on Friday in anticipation of the snow, but it didn't actually start snowing until 2:00 Friday afternoon. I had pulled all of the blinds up so Braden could see it and he was running around the house saying, "It is snowing- really snowing at MY house!" He was so excited! When Brad got home later that afternoon they bundled up and played.

Waiting on Daddy to come home so he can play in the snow!

I hope that's not yellow snow!!!!

Bend It Like Braden!

Braden got a soccer ball and soccer goal for his birthday from his friend Micah. Both Brad and Braden were really excited so they took it out one afternoon for some boy time! Braden was really cute kicking the soccer ball into the goal!

Score!

My Little Picasso

Braden has not been very interested in anything artistic- painting, coloring, etc. for quite some time. For Christmas, Santa brought him several Eric Carle art kits that are based on his books in hopes that it might pique his interest. Well today during nap time Braden decided to get one out and use himself as a canvas! He was very pleased with the results!
