Memorial Day 2010

For close to 20 years, the Sunday before Memorial Day we have a big BBQ at my Mom's house where family and friends come over to grub, play some cards and dominoes, and have a good ol' time.



The kids always end up playing in the water, eating watermelon outside, and riding in the kiddie cars all over the lawn.

Here are a couple pics from the day. Jordyn, Jordin, Brayden, JJ, and Ariel came this year and they all had a great time. Hopefully, we're creating wonderful memories for the kiddos!

Chavvon and Larissa Photography '10


Hello! You all know I get Brayden's pictures made every year and this year he had his pictures taken with friends Chavvon and Larissa on May 25th and when I tell you he had an awesome time, you better believe it! :) With both photographer's cameras in hand, we first, headed to a park in Grapevine, Texas where Brayden took pictures on a bridge. At the park was where they were able to capture some of his best dance moves (namely "the robot").


Then, we made our way toward Grapevine Main Street where he stopped and took pictures on an old-timey firetruck which he absolutley loved!



We were trying to get Brayden to pose with his hand in his pocket and he was giving the standard 2-year old answer of "no". Plain and simple "no". So I went to the car to get some money for him to put in his pocket and "voila!", he left his little hand in there just long enough for them to get some perfect shots! Uh oh ... money did the trick ... lol

We finished the shoot walking down Main street stopping at shops, letting him sit on benches, and getting shots of him running toward us smiling saying "wait for meeeee", but he also runs like this when he's coming to us sayin' "Daddyyy or Mommyyy"!! :)


A big "thank you" to Chavvon and Larissa for making his photos at 2 years gorgeous and a memorable experience.

Our Lil' Monkey

Brayden is definitely ALL boy ... and a rough one at that. lol. He's absolutely loves to be outdoors, whether it's hot, cold, rain, snow, etc. If he's outside, he's a happy camper.

This picture is from a weekend Brayden was with his Dad and here he is, climbing trees already ...

He always has a great time with his Simmons Side ... :)
