Brotherly love

Even though Brayden isnt that old he already sees Mychael as his hero and idol and follows him EVERYWHERE! If Mychael goes to his room Brayden follows him and watches him through the gate (we had to block Mychaels room off or else he would be in there 24/7), or as soon as Brayden sees Mychael coming to the car after school he starts his "grunt talk" right away. It is so cute. Brayden can be in the crappiest mood and Mychael can cheer him up by walking in the room. It also seems that anything Mychael does is HILARIOUS to Brayden. Brayden cracks up at anything Mychael does and so we will try it to make him laugh and of course he looks at us like we are idiots. Mychael is the best big brother. There might be a little jealousy there every once in a while because of how time consuming a little one can be but you can bet that anytime Brayden does something cute Mychael is right there with us saying "awww" or talking about how cute he is. I couldnt have asked for two sweeter kids.

The high emotions are still going strong this week over Braydens first birthday. I was looking at these pictures today that I downloaded and started thinking about how great my boys are so I decided to blog it.

The first picture is my little piggy trying to get scraps from Mychael. He was just standing in front of Mychael staring at the food. Then he would squat down and look at it. Then stand back up. He was waiting for his moment lol. As soon as he thought Mychael wasn't looking he went straight for the burger. It was cute so I had to hurry and grab a picture. (As a side note...we do feed Brayden. hes just turned into a little piglet this week and wants to eat constantly! I was in the kitchen making mine and Braydens plate when this was taking place)

The second picture is of the other night. I was sitting on one couch and Mychael the other. We were all watching TV. Mychael grabbed Brayden up and Brayden laid on Mychael and they sat there watching TV. It was so cute! Brayden will barely lay still on us so it was really sweet that he snuggled up with Mychael for some TV time.

The third picture is right after I snapped the second picture. As soon as a flash goes off Brayden is ready to ham it up.

See ya!

Almost a year later....this made me cry :(

Coming up on Braydens first birthday I am having some emotional moments. When I saw this picture of Harley sniffing out Brayden when we first brought Brayden home from the hospital it made me cry. He was so small. Time has flown by. I'm sure you will be seeing a lot of these over the next couple of weeks while I continue getting more and more emotional :)

See ya,

If you are losing weight anyway...

Hey everyone...I am now doing weight watchers and it is going really good as far as me losing weight. Tonight as I was watching The Biggest Loser (because its one of my addictions!) I saw a pound for pound challenge. If you sign up for this then when the challenge is over they will donate 1 pound of food to a food pantry for every pound you lost!! What do you have to do? Go to the link, give your name and email and how much weight you think you will lose before the final date on it, and then come back at the end (May 1st) and let them know how much weight you lost in that time. How easy is that?!? This is a great cause and I immediately hit pause on the tivo and went to biggestloser.com and signed up. I figured if Im losing weight anyway I might as well have something really great come out of it (besides me dropping the weight finally!). So there is a link in the blog posted before this one that will link you directly where you need to go. I know a few of you that read my blog are doing weight watchers also so I wanted to make sure it got out there. If we are losing the weight anyway then how much easier can it get to do a really good deed for those in need?? I appreciate everyone listening.

See ya,
Christy

Cute pictures

Brayden helping me with the trash. Isnt he sweet?

Brayden vs. Harley and Chopper

Our poor cats. They are tackled daily by Brayden who of course thinks that both cats adore him and what he does to them. Chopper usually bites and runs (because he is evil!) but Harley (the big sweetheart) just lays still and lets Brayden attack. So I have taken a few pictures lately of some of the attacks and one of Brayden laying with Harley.

See ya!
