Braden is 2!

I can hardly believe it but, on June 4th, my binkie loving, blue blanket toting little boy turned 2!   This past year it has been so fun to see even more of Braden's personality come out.   He is all boy as you will be able to tell from the pictures.  He loves to wrestle, play ruff, find sticks, trucks, and also he is the best snuggler.   I am praying our next boy will love to snuggle too.  Braden has always had a stronger will, but at the same time is makes your heart melt when he lays on your shoulder after he throws a tantrum.  Ha!  He loves to laugh and to make other people laugh.   He is such a joy and I love seeing how this little man is growing up.

Both of my kids birthdays are during kamp and I am determined to still give them an incredible party in spite of things being crazy with kamp life.   So far they are the most blessed kids ever to have kamp birthdays.   Our leadership team along with many others showers them with love and go all out to make the parties memorable.  Thanks guys!

One of Braden's most favorite words is truck. Car trips with him are hilarious because he yells truck over and over again every time he sees any form of a truck. So a theme for his 2nd birthday part was easy to come up with. We celebrated with all things truck and construction. We had hard hats, power tools, street signs, shovels, stop lights, orange cones, and the highlight of the party was the real backhoe! Braden loved getting to see so many truck things at this party! Happy Birthday Braden, we are so blessed to have you as our son!

The birthday boy!

He was so happy driving, he really didn't want to get out.

Braden loves to play in the sink, so he got his own.  He didn't even want to leave it to eat cake!

Thanks to everyone who made it so special!
