Yee-Haw

Today at Braiden's school they went trick-or-treating. He made a pretty cute cowboy, says his Mommy :-) He had a great time collecting candy with his friends.

A Very Special Trip to Virginia

This past weekend, Braiden and I headed to Virginia for a very special reason. The trip was for a 5K walk to benefit sweet baby Aiden and his fight against cancer. It was so nice to see all those who came out to support Aiden, Leslie, and Chris.

I'm Losing my Baby for a Big Boy

My sweet baby is growing up too fast! He had his first official haircut at a place called, Cartoon Cuts. This place has been around forever at the Fair Oaks Mall. Phillip and I used to get our hair cut there! Braiden did so great. He sat still and even giggled when the hairdresser used the razor :-)

Cox Farms Pumpkin Patch

While in Virginia, I had one request. To take Braiden to Cox Farms, a pumpkin patch that I went to growing up. He loved being able to wonder, watch all of the kids, pet animals, go on the hay ride, go down the slides, feed goats, and drink apple cider :-)

A New Favorite Snack

Braiden is extremely picky these days when it comes to eating. He's gotten better about trying things, but it's still a guessing game on a day to day basis as each day his favorites are no longer his favorites. He does however LOVE watermelon!!!

He ate the entire thing!!!!

Braiden and his Buddy, Tyson

Jess came to visit this weekend and brought her puppy. Braiden of course loved hanging out with Tyson and they both enjoyed snacking on candy pumpkins.

Auntie Came to Visit

This past weekend Braiden's Aunt Amanda came to visit. We all had a great time. Amanda, thank you so much for taking Braiden to the park and watching him while we worked. I know he enjoyed his time with you :0)
I was so bad about taking pictures over the weekend. Here are the few I took and of course Braiden did not feel like smiling for any of them!
