Brayden's Baptism

One of the proudest moments for Brandon and I was the day of Brayden's Baptism. (Which was also his 1st birthday.) We both believe strongly in family so to see both our families and friends come together on this day was VERY special to us. When Brayden looks back at these pictures one day, it will be special to him as well.

Tony, our associate pastor, took pictures of this beautiful event as a gift to him. Tony is a freelance photographer and the pictures came out gorgeous. He not only took the pictures, but he also created a DVD with the pictures set to the music of the most beautiful, tear-jerking gospel songs I've ever heard. The theme of the DVD was "Love". I will be eternally grateful for the awesome job he did.

It was a great day for our son!

Here are a few of the pics ... Enjoy ...

Go Brayden, It's Ya' Birthday!

Brayden turns ONE on 11/9/2008! We had his birthday party the day before at our house on a Saturday afternoon. (His Dad also gave him a party in Austin on 11/1. Lucky kid!) There were several of Brayden's friends and cousins there. :) We set up dozens of toys in his play room and turned on cartoons for the kiddos to watch. There was a bouncy house in the backyard right outside the playroom and you should have seen the children AND grown ups in that thing. :)

We played a few games with Brayden. My favorite being, "How much does Brayden weigh?" We passed Brayden around to each person in the room and they guessed his weight. He was .......... 21.6 lbs! :) Some people ought to be 'shame for a few of those guesses. lol! It was fun. I also created a time capsule for Brayden with many items from his first year that he can open when he is 16. Each person at the party wrote words of wisdom on a notecard which will also go in the capsule.

Brayden had a BALL! Here are pictures ... Enjoy!
