Halloween 2011

Going to the school Halloween parties - Ryan was Spongebob and Brayden was Superman


At the church "Trunk or Treat" Tyler was a hockey player, Alyssa was a queen, Brayden was still Superman, and Ryan was the Grim Reaper





The boys made cute witch treats

A Visit from Aunt Linette

Paul's sister, Linette, came for a visit over Labor Day weekend. We went to Flying W Ranch and Six Flags Elitch Gardens in Denver.

Brayden turns ten

Brayden's birthday was on June 11. Brayden is our nature lover and he wanted binoculars, bird feeders, a bird bath, and some field guides for his birthday. He got everything he asked for and takes his field guides wherever he goes. He is also very musical and plays the piano and the guitar. He is always happy and I love his sense of humor. We love our Brayden!!
