Amy & Clint Visiting

Jared's sister Amy and her husband came to visit us. They arrived on Friday and Brayden and I picked them up from the airport. We went and visited Jared and he showed them around campus. Brayden was exhausted so I took him home for a nap while they did some more sightseeing. Later we met up with Jared on Pearl Street for the Buff's parade. Here is Jared and Brayden waiting for the parade.
Here is Jared, Brayden, Amy and Clint down on Pearl Street.
We were front row for the parade. Here Jared and Brayden are talking to the players as they pass by. I need to get Brayden a black shirt so he can show his Buff spirit. The game was a lot of fun, but it was really hot. Brayden and I made it through the first half in the stands and we watched the rest of the game inside. Colorado won 42-0 over Miami, Ohio. It was a great win for the Buffs, especially going into next weeks game against Oklahoma. After the game we were all exhausted so we went home and watched more football. Sunday Amy and Clint went to the Denver Broncos' game, they lost to Jacksonville. We spent the rest of the evening watching the Cowboys game (Clint's favorite team and Natalie's 33 team). The Cowboys beat the Bears 34-10, so no 33 for me.

Our week in Boise

This past week we had a great time visiting family and friends in Boise. Brayden spent a lot of time with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Libby, Aunt Hailey and Cousin Kira. Brayden spent a lot of time on the floor in the family room. He rolled and scooted all over the place.
He spent time outside looking at the horses, cats, and watering the plants with grandma.
He played with his toys, mostly just putting them in his mouth while grunting. Brayden had the most fun with his cousin Kira. It seemed like he discovered her for the first time on this trip. Brayden would look at Kira checking out her every move.

BSU vs Wyoming/ManeLine Reunion

Saturday September 15th, 2007 was a very busy day. I helped organize ManeLine's 25th reunion. I met Rachel and Emily at 9 in the morning to set up for the day. It was a lot of work, but the day went really well and was a lot of fun. We had brunch in the morning and gave Julie a DVD filled with pictures from the last 25 years. It was fun to catch up with everyone and see how everyone had changed. We had planned to ride in the parade, but that didn't work as planned. Brayden needed to eat first so we decided to watch the parade instead. Brayden seemed to enjoy the parade even the loud bands that were in the parade.

We spent some time in the Caven-William indoor before the game. Brayden was dressed in his orange until he messed his pants for the first time that day. I had to change my shirt, it was a bit messy.
He had a great time until we went into the game.Once at the game he had a pretty rough time. The game was pretty loud and he was not doing so well with the noise. He gets so tired and there is just too much going on to shut his eyes. I had to attend to some phone calls for the reunion so I had my mom take Brayden with me out of the stadium. While I was taking care of some business, Brayden was taking care of his own business. I experienced changing his diaper and his entire outfit in the bathroom stall. Once he was cleaned up he fell asleep while I walked around keeping him from all the loud yelling fans. I didn't see much of the game, but I guess I need to get used to that.

I love sleeping on my belly

Brayden has been stressing me out, because he always wants to sleep on his belly. I'll put him down on his back, and as soon as he hits the mattress he rolls over to his belly. I would wait until he was asleep and roll him back over to his back. When I would wake up in the night we would be on his belly, so I would roll him back over. I wasn't getting any sleep so I finally gave in and have been letting him sleep on his belly. Brayden feel asleep on the floor. He likes to pull on the blanket as he falls asleep and then I move it away from his face.
So peaceful! I wish I could take a nap.
Brayden got some new PJs to keep him warm at night. He usually wakes up so happy and full of smiles.

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.
