Brayden's first bath in the tub

We weren't able to bring the little bath tub, so Brayden had to bathe in the big tub. This was his first time in the big bath tub and he loved it just as much as his little bath.
He had more room so he was able to kick his feet. He was kicking water all over the place.

A full day of football

We had a fun filled day of football. We got up and went out to Marsing to see Rylan Bergersen play football. It was Rylan's first game with pads, it was pretty big time...they had an announcer so before the game they were introduced. It was a lot of fun to see him playing football. It was a bit chilly so we only watched the first half in the stands and finished the game in the car.
Rylan is number 72 he is getting the football for a run up field.

Some of us finished watching in the car...some of us took a nap.We headed back to Boise to watch Biggie's football game. Biggie had a great catch and couple of good runs. Biggie was really good at faking the other team out that he had the hand off, he did such a good job faking out the other team that they kept grabbing his flag.
Brayden had fun cheering on Biggie, and I am sure he will will be excited to play football one day.
We had fun seeing Ray Ray too, he had a red gatorade mustache. We headed back to my parents to watch the BSU game. BSU played Washington, they lost the game 24-10. Later that day Colorado played Arizona State and they also lost. It was a bad football day for all of our teams.

Brayden Eating Cereal

I had been warned about feeding cereal to Brayden. I heard that it would be a mess and to be prepared for the stink in the diaper. Well, I have to say that Brayden loved to eat and he made every attempt to get everything in his mouth.
Brayden would try to help me get the spoon in his mouth, he would grab for it and try to push it in his mouth.
He loved the cereal. I thought he was finished so I put it away and he got mad so we just kept feeding him.

It wasn't even that messy.

Visiting Boise

On Friday we got up very early (3:30) to make it to the airport on time. Brayden and I were heading to Boise for the week. Jared was leaving to go to Arizona for the Colorado vs. Arizona State game. The flight went pretty good...this is Brayden's third flight. He is a little more active so I have to entertain him more, which is easy if we don't have to sit on the tarmac for 45 extra minutes, like we did on flight to Boise from Salt Lake City, and it would have helped if I would have sat in the right seat. I noticed when I got to my parent's house that I had sat in the wrong seat...and lets just say there wasn't a whole lot of extra room. Oh well, we made it. It was really good to be back in Boise and to see family. Brayden was really excited to see Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Libby and he showed off as soon as we got there. He rolls over all the time and he is starting to scoot around. He curls his knees up underneath him and pushes himself around with his face buried into the floor. I am afraid he is going to be crawling before long.

Brayden has a new toy

Brayden has a new toy that he plays with all the time...well he tries to eat all the time. Brayden has started putting everything in his mouth. He growls and grunts until he gets it in.
Misson Accomplished!

Labor Day Hike

We hiked up Chautauqua trail to the Flatirons on Labor Day. It was a lot of work for Jared and Natalie. Jared was carrying Brayden and the backpack and Natalie hadn't done anything that strenuous since before she was pregnant.
James Hardy came with us.
Brayden had so much fun. He loves being outside.
Brayden was worn out from all the excitment.

Brayden's first CU football game

Brayden's first CU football game was against in-state rival Colorado State University at the Rocky Mountain Showdown. The game was played at Invesco Field at Mile High. We spent most of the game inside because it was so hot and loud; Brayden didn't do very well with either. The game ended with a winning field goal in overtime 31-28. Go Buffs!
