Let's celebrate

Mommy, Daddy and I celebrated when we learned there was going to be another boy in our family. We went to our favorite restaurant in Lawrence....Paisano's!

My baby brother

My baby brother is looking at mommy and daddy on March 23rd, 2009. An image of his hands and foot are below.

I can't wait to meet him. Doctors say he is already 1lb 2oz and will be as big as I was. Mom is hoping he comes early!!!

Where's the Jayhawk?

Not only can I point out where my general body parts (nose, ears, eyes, belly button, feet and mouth) are located, I can also point out a Jayhawk! Daddy is quite proud of me!!!

My 1st Surgery

Mommy and Daddy said I was a brave boy. I had tubes put in my ears on February 24th. After a LONG nap, I came downstairs to some Get Well gifts. The balloons were especially fun! I'm doing so much better now!!! YEAH!

Showing off how cute I am!

Modeling overall's that my Uncle Robert gave me for Christmas. I'm pretty cute in these. As you can also tell, mom gave me my own drawer in the kitchen. She was tired of me getting into every other cabinet. My favorite "toy" are the cookie sprinkles...they make lots of noise when I shake them!














I think I'm good at feeding myself but mom thinks otherwise. They just laugh at me! I'm good at making us all smile!

Monkey Bizness

Mom and Dad took me to a fun place called Monkey Bizness. I was able to jump, slide and bounce all around. We had a super time and I hope I get to go back. Between you and me, I think mommy and daddy had just as much fun. They were laughing and smiling the whole time. Of course, it wore me out and I slept the whole way home!

Valentine's Day 2009

Thanks Grandma and Grampa Gens for my Valentine's Day goodies. The cookies were especially yummy!!

Christmas Gift from Santa

Mom and Dad said that Santa had some problems with my gift so it arrived a bit late. I got a workbench and love to put things together. It is so much fun. At times, I think the box is even more fun than the workbench. Two gifts in one..... THANKS Santa!

Christmas in Ohio - we celebrated Christmas with my family in Ohio. GG (aka Grandma Gens), Grampa, Uncle Robert, Uncle Brian and AnnMarie were all together with us. It was a wonderful time that always goes by too quickly.

We started the vacation by driving through the night...Aaron is quite the trooper! The boys and I slept and it went fast for us. Before arriving in Massillon, we stopped in Columbus where Aaron grew up. It was fun to see his old house and elementary school.

While in Ohio, we had a lot of fun playing games, eating way too much food, opening gifts, cheering on the Clemson Tigers, playing with a new Wii that Grampa got and so much more. It was fun!!!

My first time playing in the snow!

We finally got just a little bit of snow so mom, dad and I all bundled up and went sledding...well, I went sledding. They pulled me around the yard and we had so much fun! I hope it snows some more this year!!!

New hair gel

This is what happens when mom gives me strawberry jelly on my toast! I love to use it as gel for my hair. Pancake syrup works well too for those other kids reading this!

Choo-Choo

I'm a little dare devil riding in
snoopy's dog house and on
the chipmunk train!

Children's Museum of Cleveland

Braden, Grandma and Mommy all had a great time at the Children's Museum of Cleveland! Thanks Grandma Gens for a WONDERFUL DAY!

Christmas at Grandma and Grampa Gens'

Some fun holiday photos from when we opened gifts at Grandma and Grampa Gens'.






I love my monster suitcase. I'll use it every time I go to see Grandma and Grampa!














Everyone needed me to help unwrap or even hold up their gifts for photos. Grampa couldn't hold his fish finder without me!

Little Fishy's

Grampa Gens gave me my own minnow bucket with little fishy's. This was the best gift ever and kept me entertained (and the adults too who were watching me) for hours! Thanks Grampa!

My Little Pony

I'm a little pony...clippity clop...clippity clop...such a pretty pony...

OK...I love to ride my pony but I think the music is driving my mom and dad a bit crazy!

My 2nd Christmas

I'm a little elf on Christmas morning!

Merry Christmas

Posing for our family Christmas card!

I wanted to play with the ornaments but mom wanted me to smile for the camera!
