Braydon is 3!

Braydon's birthday is always a lot of fun.  We use it as an excuse to have our friends and family over for some food and good times. Since his birthday was a Monday, we decided to have his party the weekend before (one week after we moved).  It was a little crazy to try and get the house somewhat together, but it was also a little motivating.  

We had lunch and watched all the kids play on the playset in the back yard and the biggest hit is the sandbox!  Braydon loves having friends over and we were really lucky to have so many people come over.  It was lots of fun and I loved watching Braydon's face when everyone sang him Happy Birthday!

After the party and some afternoon naps, we got to have our first family movie night in the new house.  Braydon got the movie the Lorax for his birthday, so we all cuddled up on the couch and watched, we even had room for Wrigley on the couch!

Since Braydon's birthday was on a Monday, we decided to take Braydon's birthday off and spend the day with just him.  So we look Kellan to the babysitter and then headed to the zoo.  I think Braydon really liked having all of mom and dad's attention on him.

Giraffe was finally out

There was a cool humming bird exhibit and Braydon got to hold one on his finger

After the zoo we went out to eat pizza, then we made the mistake of getting Braydon haircut.  We said just a trim and the lady thought that meant, take off a 5 inches everywhere!  So that night we had a few pictures of cake of course got to blow a few more candles out. 

Getting good at blowing out candles

Happy 3rd Birthday Braydon!
