Brayden's 11th Birthday

 Just four days after Grandpa's funeral we had Brayden's birthday.  He asked for a scavenger hunt and ice cream cake.  He and Caleb have really been loving them.  So, I put that together and he had a blast running around finding his gifts.  But, I think I need to make it harder next year.

This kid loves Harry Potter so he got quite a bit of Harry Potter stuff.  He was in heaven

Brayden loves life he doesn't love school, but he loves everything else.  He loves the outdoors and being prepared with a backpack full of emergency supplies.  He loves reading and stories.  Fishing and hunting are two of his favorite outside pastimes, along with camping.  He's funny, smart, a hard worker, and pretty tough.  He still always looks to the positive and watches out for ways to help others.  

We sure love this kid.  How blessed are we to have him in our family!  We love his fun personality, his smile and sense of humor, and the ability he has to make friends with anyone around.  He's a great older and younger brother to look up to.  Every time we have a Come Follow Me Lesson he comes and tells me how amazing my lesson was.  That's just one example of his kindness.  We love you Bud and we love watching you grow!!!
