Someone's going to be a big brother!!!!!

Happy Holidays! I can't believe December is already here, Brayden is going to be THREE next week *sniff sniff*!! I am sure some of you heard we were being stationed in Italy, but sadly, that is not the case....someone made a mistake so Brian has to pick new orders.....oh well! Today the sun was out so we decided to go hiking out at Deception Pass and tonight was the command kid's Christmas party at the base bowling alley. Brayden was excited about the idea of Santa, until it came time to wait in line to meet him and decided it wasn't worth it. But he finally came around and got a present! He had alot of fun, bowled for the first time, ran around like a monkey.....then he came home and crashed! Brian's Christmas leave starts in about a week, we are so excited, every year seems to get more fun as Brayden get older. I am sure everyone saw the horrible aftermath of the storm that hit the coast of Washington last week, please send these people some positive thoughts as we enjoy our holidays, some of the pictures are really unbelievable. Have a wonderful holiday season! SEE YA IN 2008!

I'm on the nice list, trust me....

MOM! Santa got me a GEE-TAR!!!

Playing with his buddy, Jeremiah. They always have fun

when they see each other!

We decided since we have lived here almost 3 years it was probably high time we walked across Deception Pass bridge. We have been to the park part quite a bit. Brayden didn't really like being on the bridge....but he likes hiking in the forest or "jungle" as he calls it!

Hiking in the forest.......

Dork.

Even when it is 36 degrees outside, living in this part of the world, if the sun is shining, you almost have a obligation to go outside!

So we went to the park (until we got cold!).

Happy Halloween!!

Before we left.

Arrrrgh!!

First house!

He kept trying to blow out everyone's pumpkins.

This trick or treating stuff is tiring.
Carry me, slave!

The mother load.

Pirate booty!!!

Happy Halloween! We have had quite the busy week! Brayden's grandpa, grandma and uncle steve came to visit! I am sure they probably have alot more pictures that I can put up, but I thought I would get a leg up or else I will be spending several days in front of the computer! You always hear people complain about their inlaws, I am thankful I won the inlaw lottery! We had so much fun, as you can see by the pictures. Brayden is in love with his grandma and grandpa and thinks Uncle Steve is the coolest. The week went way too fast as you can imagine, I wish there was some way we could live closer. Brian hasn't heard if his orders to Hawaii have been accepted, but cross your fingers for us! Have a happy and safe Halloween and pictures of Brayden the Pirate shall be forthcoming after trick or treating! :)

Playing with Uncle Steve and new Lego table!

To the pumpkin patch!!

Brayden tried to hijack Bob's minivan.

Gotta find JUST the right one.....
too heavy.

What do you think of this one, Uncle Steve?

Too easy and close to the car.....

Forget pumpkins, the have a CORN MAZE!

To the corn maze!!

Brian and I purposely lost Brayden

in the corn maze......when WE finally made

it out, he was sitting in this booth, trying to sell

tickets!!

Romping around in the mud!!

I got lost.

Can you spot the toddler?

Maybe if I bled in, they wont take my picture....

The pumpkin patch is right by the

flightline for NAS Whidbey.

Grandpa Hick's degutting the pumpkin.

B is still wary of pumpkin guts, didn't want

much to do with the carving.

BOO!

We went to the beach by Brian's work.

It wasn't sunny, but at least it wasn't raining!

I dont WANNA!!!

Uncle Steve swingin' some kelp. Beth fearing for her life.

Posed pics are so few and far between nowadays.

Brayden's new lego building partner in crime.
