Bathtime Fun!!!

Here are some recent pics of B in his nightly bath...

My favorite of the bath time pics...


Brayden is super-intrigued by the ever-present HoneySuckleSoap and the faucet...


Its tough to get clean when you never actually touch the water...


A little marlon brando in the godfather???


Here, B is pretending his bath towel as a prop spinach leaf while he does his infamous Popeye impression...


Here's is the paparazzi picture we submitted to the all the tabloids...

Bye Bye Mommy

Last week stephanie went out to dinner with brooke and left the boys at home for a little father/son time. Apparently B is a bit of a momma's boy, i saw this coming and luckily had enough time to run and get the camera. It was sad but.......it led to a pretty cute pic...


Jack came over to see what all the fuss was about...



And then he realized I had the camera behind him...


And gave me a big 'ol smile...


And then he was happy again...



(hopefully to see me, and not because he remembered he had his thumb to keep him company)

Also, just noticed you can click on the pictures to blow them up, just FYI.

A Couple Things from Last Month

Here are a couple of things from the last month that I haven't had a chance to put out here yet...

Opa took Brayden to swim class...


B practicing his butterfly stroke...


Opa and B practicing his form for platform diving...


I "ran" my 3rd Marathon, weather was a little colder than I expected, hence the paper coat (opa and oma have all the pics from the finish)...


B and his class playing London Bridge...


Mommy and B take in the final swim class...


We have also started the "festival" season, hitting the Sweetwater Candler Park Festival with Brooke and Chris and the Inman Park Festival with Grandpa and Tami and Brooke and Chris (I can't seem to find any pictures from these festivals).

Tybee Vacation

Last week we loaded up the family (sans dogs) and headed down to Tybee for a little fun in the sun (or shade in our case). Thank you to the Wade's for letting us enjoy their house for a little R&R. It was brayden's first beach experience and he absolutely LOVED it. A lady at the grocery told us that everybody has to eat a bag of dirt in their life, we'll, I'd say bradyen is about half way there after this weekend. And who knew that Saturday when we went out for food, that actually meant breakfast AND lunch (with a bit of beach time thrown in between). We bought brayden a pair of sunglasses with an elastic strap to hold them on. The big guy didn't put up an sort of fight about wearing them, they are "too cute". The weekend consisted of lot of biking, beaching and general relaxation. The only problem with the entire weekend was there weren't enough days. I wonder is PwC has a Tybee Office?

Celebrating Week 42 in style...



Mommy and B hanging out on one of those big Tybee Trees...

Together we're about as pale as a bucket...



Yeah, it's a big hat...


Brayden practicing for his debut in the Candler Park drum circle...


Relaxing in the shade at the playground...


Can you dig it..(you should have seen how hard he laughed at chopping the sand....until we tried to video it)...


Sleeping on the beach, can you beat this...


Big H and aunt nini...


Crawling in the sand...


Slow and steady wins the race...


Again, impossible to get 2 kids to look at the camera at the same time...

It was a crazy low tide that went out a few hundred yards, here are H & M taking full advantages, we found several hermit crabs (no pics but great pets)...


Out...

Mmmmmmmmmmm Lemon...


Apparently his sour buds don't work yet...


And after a long day out, he's out...
