Thanksgiving in California

Braden spent his first Thanksgiving every at Grandma Linda's house, where he got to meet his Great Grandma Carol and Great Grandpa Hank for the first time. He also went his first UCI Basketball game to cheer on Uncle Matt. On Saturday he met Jessie for the first time and helped Aunt Jackie shop for wedding dresses.

Disney!!!

Braden's cousins!

Braden got to meet cousins Zach, Jake and baby Ben for the first time ever this week!!!

Kristy Marie's Wedding

Amy and I had the honor of being bridesmaids for our cousin Kristy Marie's wedding on Nov 9th in Tampa, Florida. It was a great trip...a wonderful opportunity to celebrate with Kristy, to meet baby Ben and see the Adams and Seigfrieds, and a great excuse to stay for Disney!!

Braden the Sweet Pea!

Although he's a bit too young for trick or treating, Braden got into the Halloween spirit as a sweet pea this year (I know, not a big stretch from reality!!)

Whipple's Wedding

This weekend we travelled to Greenwich, Connecticut, to attend the gorgeous wedding of Emily and Mark Whipple, great friends of Scott since elementary school. Braden did an awesome job surviving the 4 1/2 hour flight to JFK...the lady besides us said he was a natural...go figure!!


The gang at the rehearsal dinner!


It was fun to actually dress up for a change!!


Braden hang out in the hotel room before the babysitter arrived so we could go to the wedding :)


One handsome groomsman (in my opinion!!)


Unfortunately, I didn't get too many pics during the wedding...too busy dancing!!!

Braden's trip to Albuquerque

This weekend Braden took his very first airplane ride to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to visit with Michelle and her family. Since he's a little pumpkin himself, he fit right in at the pumpkin patch!

Braden's boy's weekend

Braden spent the weekend with sports...watching Daddy play lacrosse, playing on his gym mat and then watching football all afternoon!












Unfortunately, the Jets lost :(


"Please, no pictures, I'm trying to sleep here!!"

Braden's Big California Adventure!!

Since Scott had to go to South Carolina w/ the AF for a week, Mom and Braden drove to Southern California to visit Grandma and Grandpa's houses for the first time. Braden got to meet lots of Aunts, Uncles, and cousins too!

Braden parties in the 310th

Braden attended the "First Friday" social in the 310th Fighter Squadron on his three-week birthday...the first of many times he'll mingle with our Air Force family.

Braden at Two Weeks

Braden had his two week doctor appointment and he's now 7lbs, 4 oz! So, he's gaining weight and doing great!

First Bath!

He was a bit unhappy at first, but he was warm and cuddly as can be when it was finished!
