Holy snowfall Batman!! We here on the island have got close to 6 inches (which for us, is quite a bit)! The island is a mess, wrecks everywhere, downed power lines, etc. But a bonus, the base closed down today and Brian got an extra day off! So we went to Kmart and got the last sled they had. Brayden loves the snow! We had a fantastic Thanksgiving, and hope you all did too. Brayden will be turning 2 in less than 3 weeks! Seems like yesterday I was rocking him to sleep and feeding him bottles. Now it is all "No Daddy, I DO IT!!" or "NO! MINE!"........typical 2 year old, I guess. He is an amazing little kid though, and continues to astonish us daily. Have a safe and happy holiday season everyone!! Birthday pictures will be forthcoming.

Winter fun!!

He flipped out when we had to go....even though he was soaked!!

Nana took us out to pizza.......apparently B

doesn't like rockets!

Stay tuned next week for Thanksgiving feast pictures......!!

Brayden had his first sleepover! My friend Laura came up from Tumwater on Saturday and brought her son Jake, who is exactly Brayden's age. They had a BLAST!! Brayden wasn't so sure about sharing all his toys and stuff (he has never had a friend over before) but he eventually got over it. We tried to get them to sleep in Brayden's room together but it really didn't work out too well. They had a lot of fun, I think we will do it again soon! Mommy and Laura got to have fun after the kids went to bed too!

Get off my elmo couch!!

Both boys trying to give Laura kisses!!

Brayden, Casie and Jake-man!

Bathtime fun!!

What a sweetheart!

Buddies!

Laura reading to the boys before bed. Jake is OBSESSED

with books. Brayden, not so much but at least he sat still

for more than 30 seconds!!

Oh yeah and on the way back from Nana's, on the way to Papa's

we got stuck on Snolquamie Pass for 4 hours! It took us

6 hours to go 130 miles. BLAH!!

Happy Halloween (LATE!)!! Brayden spent Halloween at his Papa Fletcher's this year, and he had a blast. He spent a couple of days there, and Brian and I came down for the trick or treat festivities. Papa had a big party with lots of kids and a pinata! Brayden loved trick or treating as soon as he figured out he was getting CANDY! Thankfully he forgot about his candy already, and it is up to mommy to eat it. *sigh* The things you do for your children! I am sure I will get better pictures of Halloween from the various people that were there so here is the ones I have. Keep warm everyone!

Princess Paige!
