Balloon Festival!

My favorite!!

Slide!!!

Pumpkins already!!

My baby!!

As a result of Braydon's boogerie nose (Thank you MDO!), we kept him home from the church nursery babes today and decided a little fresh air might do him some good!  We went to the Plano Balloon Festival and despite our disappointment last year when we drove around for an hour looking for parking... we had great time today! We weren't able to see the balloons take off, but B still had a blast playing in "tot town!"   Things are so much more fun with kids!  It would have just been expensive corn dogs and HOT without him!  Doesn't he look so BIG!!  

Basketball with Dad!

Ready to Play!! BALL!

I love him in his little running shoes!!

But he loves his crocs....

Time for a break!

I am so impressed with Rowdy taking pictures of Braydon when he takes him out to play!   I will look through the pics on his phone and he has dozens of Braydon that I never knew he took.  Here's a little taste of what the boys do when Mom's away!  

It's Raining It's Pouring!

Swinging with Nana and Momma!

Running through the puddles at the park

Splishing and Splashing

We had so much fun watching this little turkey run through the puddles this evening!  He loved every minute of it! And screamed all the way to the tub ;)  Who knew having a little boy would be this much fun!  I love watching him find so much joy in such simple things!  

New Paci and some Politics!!

Big boy ready for Night Night!

"I wear my sunglasses at night"

Braydon does not look too impressed to have his 

picture taken with Sarah Palin..

Mommy & Braydon's 1st Tea Party

I think he might have a future in politics..j/k

In effort to get Braydon off his paci in the next 5 months...we decided to take him off the hospital newborn paci that he has been using for the last 19 months! Braydon is obsessed with this paci and we figured it might help to try a new paci that he is not so attached to.  Well, he has not skipped a beat and seems equally as "in love" with his new paci's!  I can't imagine taking the paci away all together, but with the new baby on the way, Dr G says it's best to do it before the baby gets home with a paci and he can steal it!  He would so steal it!  He looks so mcuh like a big boy these days..I kinda have to admit that I love him with his little baby paci!

On to the politics!  Braydon attended his 1st tea party today...Political Tea Party that is!  I have been following the news and have made myself more aware of the changes that are coming with our new President.  Many of these changes he is trying to pass will affect not only our grandparents, our parents, us, our children and generations to come.  Anyway, today was our opportunity to support what we believe in!  Braydon was clapping his hands when the crowd would get rallied up!  It was hot so we were not there very long, but it was a first for the whole Winter Family..
