The "Sexy Beast"

Okay, about 2 weeks ago, here is the conversation...
Mom: "You need to go without you shirt when you play outside at Kristen's."
Braden: "Why?" (the most popular toddler question ever)
Mom: "Because you arms are so dark and your belly is glowing white."
Braden: "I taint" (I can't)
Mom: "Yes you can, and Kristen might call you a sexy beast if you do."
Braden: "Ha, no."
That was the end of the discussion or so I thought. About 5 days later, I was changing clothes and was down to the undergarments when Braden walked into the bedroom. That is when he proceeded to say: "Look at dat sessy(sexy) beast!" Well, it only gets worse. I let a young friend of ours come use the tanning bed before her senior banquet last week. Katie is getting out of the tanning bed and he tells her: "Dat's a sessy beast right derw(there)!" Are you kidding me? One little slip of a slighty funny saying and he uses it. In the right context! God bless me, I'm going to have my hands full!

Very Late Birthday post

For Braden's 4th Birthday we had a monster truck party. His cake was awesome...thanks to Valeria! He got some great gifts and we had a wonderful time!

Snaggle

This is our little snaggle-tooth girl. If you look closely, it won't be long before the other tooth comes out.

Some crazy sleeping...

Here is my crazy sleeper. He had been at Kristen's all day and was so tired that he couldn't climb all the way on the couch. He just crashed trying to get there.

Just some updates

Well, I noticed that it had been awhile since I last blogged. So here are a few things that have happened (will post pics later). Braden apparently can fall asleep in any position. He literally fell asleep trying to get on the couch. Lexie lost one of her front teeth, so Brandon is constantly calling her snaggle. Braden has also picked up on a little phrase that I joked around with him about. Stayed tuned for the "sexy beast" story. Braden also wrecked his Razor Scooter last week. If you don't have kids that's the 2-wheel scooter that you see kids riding. Needless to say we had our first bloody nose. Not fun! Sorry it's been so long, I promise to try to do better.

Community Easter Egg Hunt

Ok, so I'm a little late with most of the things on this post, but at least I'm getting them on here. Our wonderful friends Cliff and Tammy hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids in the neighborhood. With the long weekend, cold weather and ball games going on we didn't have a great turn-out. But, we had a wonderful time.

Braden turned 4!

April 10th Braden turned 4. Wow, I really can't believe that he is that old. We got him a Razor scooter and the movie Horton Hears a Who. He wanted to go to Habaneros for dinner. So, Nana & Pop, Gindin & Susan and the rest of us went. He did not like it when they sang to him and I ended up wearing the sombrero.

1st Grade Field Trip to McWane Center

Lexie had a field trip to the McWane Center on the 10th. We had to other girls in our group and had a blast. Although, it was extremely crowded!!!

Easter Pics

The Easter Bunny...

Apparently the Easter Bunny comes by 2:30 a.m. in our house. Lexie came through the house at 2:30 Sunday morning and cut our bedroom light on to let us know that the Easter Bunny came. We told her to go back to bed. So, she looked at her basket and went back to sleep. The pics were from when they finally woke up. Braden got a Froggy book and try to shove it in Lexie's basket. I asked why. He said "I don't like fwogs."

Time

Time sure flies when you're having fun. Well, I guess all of this has been fun. Braden turned 4 today at 11:12 a.m. I just can't believe that my baby is 4...I guess he's not a baby anymore. He's such a big boy!

Weekend

Well, we had a very eventful weekend. I got to go to Wicked, thanks to my BFF (haha), Allison. That was last Friday, and it was absolutely amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat. Then we had our Easter Drama and it went great. We had 350 people come and 14 of those were saved. That is wonderful. I have pics from Lexie's field trip to McWane that I will get on her later. Something to ponder...my baby will be 4 on Friday. Where has the time gone?
