HOW CUTE!

The focus isn't great, but you can definitely hear him giggle. It'll bring a smile to your face.

MOTHER'S DAY

We spent last weekend at the Bradley family reunion. I got to see my Aunt and Uncles and my cousins. It was such a treat to all be together again. We stayed at The Battlehouse. We went on a ghost hunt on the fifth floor, ate great seafood, and spent Sunday at the beach. It was a beautiful day. Be sure to check out the picture of Jay and Braden. Braden thought the water was great - at first. He liked the sand and had a great nap. Michael had to work, but Cassie and I soaked up enough sun for all of us.

Cassie made cheerleader at LAMP high school and her senoir coed competitive squad. She'll be busy, busy, busy! We are all excited about school coming to an end. We have big plans. Mine are to spend as much time with Braden as possible and get my house back in order. Cassie has lots of trips planned. Jay will be working and having fun with us in the afternoon.

Braden had his first trip to the lake. He hated his life jacket, but loved the boat ride. His sissy took him swimming for the first time in the pool. He fussed a lot - everytime you took him out of the water. I have a fish on my hands.

Michael is cooking at Pizza Hut. He works all the time. He'll be busy this summer working and getting ready for football season. Be sure to check out his picture snowboarding with his dad in Breckinridge.

Latin Convention

Cassie had a big week this week. She made the school cheerleading team which we are very excited about. On top of that, Cassie's school hosted the Latin Convention this weekend. She looked adorable in her hot pink and purple toga her MeMa made. As you know, Cassie is anything but conventional. Instead of gold trim, she chose zebra ribbon to add her own touch. Tryouts for Top Dog are this weekend so keep her in your prayers.

First Foods

Braden is 5 1/2 months old and eating solids. Tonight was our first try at Butternut squash. I'm not quite sure he loved it. He seemed much happier with his rice cereal. He is getting to be quite the big boy. He can't sit still, but prefers to kick and swing his arms. I swear he is trying to fly. Maybe, we have the next generation pilot on our hands. His newest tricks are blowing spit bubbles and sitting up for a whole 15 seconds on our own.
