Brayden is Five!

Last Tuesday was Brayden's brithday.  It was kinda weird being away from everyone and we missed Grandma and Grandpa.  I think most of the kids mentioned that it was different not having anyone else here.  But, we had fun anyway!

The night before his birthday I mentioned I had to go get a couple of things at the store for his birthday.  Jack then remembered he needed to do something and made him an activity worksheet with mazes and things.  That gave Hailey some incentive to find a gift too.  A few weeks back she drew up a coloring book.  She decided to give it to Brayden.  Then Conrad just had to do something too.  He went through his Pokemon cards and found some to give to him.  How sweet.  I didn't even say anything!  It was fun to see how excited they were to give their gifts.

Brayden wanted to be sure I got a picture of him eating his chips!
Caleb and I took Brayden to lunch at their favorite spot, Subway.  The kids can't get enough of that place.  The funny thing is that we NEVER went there before we moved here.

Brayden opened his cards and one gift before the kids went to school and then after Bo got home we opened the others and had cake and ice cream.  He chose carrot cake.

With his gifts

"Can I just open these already!"
Trying so hard to look at the camera and not his Rescue Bots.  Obviously, this was really hard.
Transformers!

Gotta have a true Brayden pic!

Watching Bo light the candles.  He blew them all out with one breath.  

Brayden got a good amount of Birthday money and decided to buy this Baymax toy with it.  He's now had a new best friend.  He love this guy!


At five Brayden Loves:

Rescue Bots/Transformers
Olaf from Frozen
Baymax from Big Hero Six
Smiling
Giving hugs and kisses
When Dad Comes Home
He really looks up to his brothers
He's the only one who wants to stay in Hawaii forever
To sum it all up Brayden loves EVERYTHING about life

We love so many things about this little guy:

He's HILARIOUS and makes us all laugh
His smile
His creative, inquisitive mind
He's so sweet
Receiving his hugs and kisses
The way he treats Caleb
He's happy in any situation

Brayden we are the luckiest parents in the world to have you in our lives.  I can't wait to watch you grow!  We love you!!!

You are right. Brayden just loves life! He doesn't really seem to notice anything bad. Good characteristic to have.
