My Visit to meet my 1st Nephew on the Braden Side!

A couple of weeks ago I got to go to Oregon to do a wedding that ended up being only an hour away from where Becca lives!! Yahoo!!! So I got to stay with her and meet my new little Nephew Ezra (3wks old).  It was so fun to have some special time with my neices, Kent and Becca, without my crew.  Chaser base-r got to tag along but he didn't cramp my style too much.   Juliana and Kayla really love to swim and play dollies right now.  Kayla was my favorite because she wraped, sang, rocked, and kissed her babies ALL DAY LONG!  Just like her mommy does.  Becca kissed, rocked, and sang to her babies all day too.  Funny how cute she thought Kayla was.. when she was just as cute as them with HER babies!  Love you guys.  I miss you all ready! It was also special to repay them for their hospitality by doing a little family pics. What a Gorgeous Family!  

Luke Skywalker

Little Boys are so much fun!!! Since Tyler has an older sister.... its taken a little longer I think for "THE BOY" to come out in Tyler's play time.  He always loves cars and packs them around and plays with them everyday... however pretend play usually consists of being the daddy to Morgan being the mommy and having a babydoll as their baby.  He recently has been obsessed with wearing his incredible Hulk costume, Spiderman, or any kind of hero possible.  Jared watched Star Wars for a bit last week... and this is what I found coming down stairs the next morning.  Tyler does NOT approve of picture taking or video so I had to be really sneaky trying to get this on video.

Summer Chill'n

Often for our Summer entertainment we have cousins come play.  Here is Chase and his lil pal Ryker having snacks together.

We really like Ryker because he is smiley and happy at everyone!

Ryker is teaching Chase to climb up walls and doors, and pat at windows!  A most important baby skill!

Running through the sprinkler on hot days has become a favorite. 

along with kiddie pool swimming.

Kamryn discovered a whole new excitement with running through the sprinkler with an umbrella. She thought it was pretty clever! So did the rest of us!
I relized this week that its rediculous to "edit" every picture I take... and that the perfectionist in me will keep me from posting  my life in wanting to perfect every candid shot I take.  I am letting that go.... as for my fun family posts... its gotta be strait from the camera because otherwise I will start missing out on capturing my life... and keeping track of those memories.  Work is work.... and balance keeps me happy so forgive my "unprofessionalism" with my family blogging from here on out!
