Birthday Party

Sorry the pictrures are so small and so late :) Not sure what happen there, buit here are a few pictures of Brenden's First birthday party.

June 25, 2010 Brenden Turned 1

For Brenden's birthday Lee and I decided to take him on a trip to the zoo!! We woke up early to get on the road (dad's idea....we were at the zoo 45 minutes before it opened) This is when he first woke up the morning of his birthday :)

The Giraffes were one of his favorites !!

Hogs :)

He also really loved the children's zoo! He liked feeding the goats :)

He was out before we left the zoo parking lot...

Smith Family Visit

This weekend Lee's parents came to visit! We had a great time with them, and they really enjoyed spending time with Brenden. They learned that our little man is no longer Mr. Cuddles, he is on the go!! He is in a constant state of movement, unless he is tired. We get a few cuddles out of him then. I thought that it was cool that he started walking at 10 months....it is fun but exhausting :)

Friday night we hung out as a family and went to dinner. Then Saturday Marge, Brenden, and I went to a few garage sales and then relaxed for a while. Saturday evening we had our friends over for a little crawfish and shrimp! It was fun to spend time with everyone!

It was sad to watch them go after, and Brenden went to their room to look around..like he was looking for them.

She calls me a worm in hot ashes, because I can not sit still.

One day boys....one day I will win it all.....

Brenden was very interested in the crawfish. He is fearless reaching for it.

Gigi gave Brenden a new pair of shoes!

And a new box to play with.

Maggie says "Please share with me"

Brenden 1st time at the pool! He LOVES the water! We have been many times since then!

Brenden at the Pool

Brenden is walking everywhere and tries to get Maggie to play with him. Sometimes she does, but other times she has just learned to ignore him :)

A Walker....and a growler...He just goes round and round and round....
