Workin' and Playin'

This past weekend we got Brayden a baby pool to play in.  He absolutely loves being outside and also loves the water, so we thought the combination would be a hit!  And to no surprise, it was!  Brayden had so much fun playing in his pool, but he mainly loved climbing in and out of it!  He would take his toys, throw them out, climb out and grab them, throw them back in, and then climb back into the pool.  He then repeated the routine about... a million times!

All this playin' is tough work!

Off to explore...

Don't worry... those white legs don't belong to a ghost!  It was just me!  ;)

Hmmm... what to throw out next?!

After a while, he saw Daddy working on his truck and decided to give him a hand!  :)  It was too cute and had to get a couple of pics!

I'm busy working, Momma!

What size you need again, Pops?

Walker!

So we officially have a walker!  Brayden has been taking steps since he was about 10 months old but it hasn't been his main mode of transportation until now!  It was so fun watching him get more and more confident the more he tried.  He got so used to us making a big deal about him walking that every time he'd reach his destination, he'd turn around and laugh and clap for himself!  It was the cutest thing!  Anyway, he is definitely faster and keeps us on our toes, but we love that he's up and walking around!

My little dare devil

We have a climber!

Happy Easter! Part 2

So Sunday morning, we woke up to find that the Easter Bunny visited Brayden! He must have known that Brayden doesn't eat candy yet, so he brought some super cool toys.

Checking out part of the goods (with some Mum Mum on his face)

It passed it the taste test..

Much easier to push while kneeling than standing.  :)

The ONLY still shot that he gave me the entire time.  Such a wiggle worm these days!

After checking out the goodies, we headed to church which was really great.  I really enjoyed the opportunity to really reflect on the reason why we celebrate Easter.

Later that afternoon, we went to MawMaw and PawPaw Richardson's for dinner and another Easter Egg Hunt!  It was really great to spend time with Brandon's family.  We love them so much!

Digging for that Easter Egg!

Found it!

Brayden really caught on quick to look for the colorful eggs and to put them in the basket. Super cute to watch! :)

Woooah Daddy!

Happy Easter! Part 1

Easter was really great this year!  We started it off with an Easter Egg Hunt at Brian and Sheri's house in Zachary on Saturday.  It was really a lot of fun.  They grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, and had lots of games for the kids.  Brayden loved his 1st Easter Egg Hunt and hanging out with family.  Here are a few pics from the day.
