Brayden is Nine!

This kid is awesome!!!  He has a very inquisitive mind and is always wondering how things work.  When he was younger, we couldn't leave any keys around, or he'd take them and try every keyhole he could find and then drop them wherever he felt the need.  Now he just wants to see how things tick.  Thankfully he hasn't tried to take anything apart yet.

We didn't take a lot of pictures, but there is a lot of video of him opening his gifts.  

Brayden picked out his topping for the cake.  It turned out quite tasty.

At 9 Brayden loves:

Pocket knives

Camping

Baseball

Pocket knives

Hatchets

Axes

Reading

Investigating things (he wants a spy kit for Christmas)

Riding his bike

Fishing

Rzr Riding

Whittling

We love:

His vast imagination (which can be a problem at times because fears can be more real.)
He's so happy
He's so positive
He is kind to his family
He watches people and helps where he can
He does really well in school
He's responsible and makes sure things are done on time
He just helps keep our home happy

We love you so much, Brayden!  We are so blessed to have you in our family.  Keep growing into the kind gentleman you are.  We cant wait to see what the next year brings.
