what a difference a year makes...

last year, braden really didn't have any interest in basketball. last weekend the weather was just beautiful (as you can tell with the shorts and t-shirt). brit asked braden if he wanted to play basketball, and braden was SO good. he was making almost every shot. i know he is going to recruited by his school's basketball coaches due to his height. so i think, oneday, will we see braden on the courts. he had the most precious smile after he made a basket!!

having fun in the tub...

braden and ansley took a bath in our HUGE tub the other day. they thought it was the best thing ever!! ansley splash and laughed the whole time. as you can see in the first picture...she did not want to get out. i tried to move the picture down to the bottom but it wouldn't let me today! i just loved watching them play together for over 30 minutes. the water was getting cold but they did not mind at all.

REAL SNOW!!!

BEST SNOW DAY EVER!! in GA

Yesterday, we got the best snowstorm GA has seen in a long time. It started snowing around 1:30 and by 2:30, our backyard was already covered. It was so beautiful! Some friends came over that night to play in the snow and have snowball fights. It was lots of fun. Ansley, once again, loved it. She went down the sled several times and walked all over the yard. Braden thought it was the best because of the snowballs. He chased me all over the yard! I am so glad we got one great snowday this year!

mommy...where is the sun??

another gloomy, rainy, awful day in Georgia!!

Super Bowl...finally

SUPER BOWL XLIV

2/7/2010

braden has been waiting for this day for a long time. back in december brit, braden and i picked who we thought would win the super bowl this year. brit picked the Cowboys, i picked the Colts and yes, braden picked the SAINTS. we let braden watch until halftime and we taped the rest of the game so he could watch the end. he was so excited when he found out the Saints won. brit made homemade chicken wings and we had lots of dips and snacky foods. it was braden's first superbowl that he cared about and it was a super fun night!!

flashback...

Bentley and Braden through the years...

After posting the last picture of Bentley and Braden I came across some of them when Braden was younger. It is so much fun to see how their friendship has grown over the years!!

boy's best friend...

Bentley and Braden

I was so excited to capture this moment. Braden went outside after school to sit with Bentley. I wish I could have put a microphone on him because he was talking to Bentley. I don't know what he was saying but I know the word "buddy" was used. That is what he calls Bentley. He loves that dog so much and it is a very special relationship between boy and dog. Bentley would do anything to protect our family, especially Braden.
