It's a good thing he is soooooo dang cute or I would send him back!!!! I really think I got sent my brother Jeremiahs son and that is why he doesn't have one. My mom is constantly telling me how much Brayden is like Jeremiah, should I be more worried than I already am Amy?! Just kidding I really do love my brother, I couldn't ask for a better one and if he turns out like him I'm okay with that!!!
Anyway Brayden has been so funny lately and I need to document it or I will forget.
Deciding what to have for dinner:
Me: Brayden do you want a grilled cheese sandwich?
b: No mom I would like a boy cheese one (apparently I say "grilled" like "girl")
Talking to a banana:
b: Banana why did you go get brown and mushy?
Losing my patience (happens a lot throughout the day, this is why I say it's a good thing he's soooo cute)
Me: Brayden if you don't stop I am going to pull my hair out.
b: Mom don't do that it will really hurt.
Del Taco & drivers license:
b: (looking at my drivers license) Mom that says April.
Me: You're right Brayden.
b: Ya it says April Taco.
Me: What?
b: Mom you're April Taco like dad is Dale (Del) Taco.
Me: Oh really so are you Brayden Taco?
b: No I'm Brayden Michael Wood
I LOVE my little boy even when he does something that makes me want to pull my hair out!!! Some guys in the neighborhood ask me (when Brayden is out of control, with more energy than he knows what to do with) what I give him to make him that way. Nothing!!! He is just full of energy, life, and has soooooo much personality and to tell you the truth I wouldn't have it any other day (there is always bedtime right)!!!!
Love you buddy!!!

The kids had a blast this Halloween and got way too much candy. We started out the festivities with our ward trunk-or-treat on Thursday and then Halloween on Friday. I feel like Halloween is a little like Christmas in our family, we start out at our house and then spend the rest of the time hitting the rest of the family. We wouldn't have it any other way, the kids love to show off their costumes to grandmas and grandpas and all their cousins. This year when we got to Dale's parents we walked in to see Brayden was in the exact same costume as his cousin Brody, they looked so cute!!! Mckinley and Claire Nuttall at the trunk-or-treat

Tagged by Haley.....I think this is the 1st tag I have done!!!
Here's how it works...go to your 4th folder and post the 4th picture.
This is me (9 months pregnant with Brayden) and Mckinley at the barn at Thanksgiving Point. We were going on the bumpy wagon ride, I was hoping to induce labor and Mckinley just wanted a ride!!! I can't believe how big my little girl has gotten:( Look at those chubby cheeks!!! I tag Whitney, Melissa Staheli and Anderson, Emilie, Iliana, and McKell

Getting caught up!!!
Brooklyn is 3 months old today, where has the time gone!!!
At 3 months Brooklyn....
- Talks, screams, laughs, and smiles at anyone who will give her attention
- LOVES her bath
- HATES getting out of the tub
- Likes to eat her hands
- Likes her binki
- Hates tummy time but can lift her head and look around while on her tummy
- Sleeps at least 6 hours at night and takes at least 3 naps a day
- Loves her brother and sister
And overall is a very happy baby!!!Eating her hands (if her binki isn't in her mouth her hands are)
At 2 months Brooklyn was 8lbs 12oz and 19&1/2 in, which was about the 5th percentile for both. Brooklyn is about 11lbs now and I don't know how long she is (I weighed myself and then weighed us together and 11 lbs was the difference). We will see for sure next month!!!
Brayden has been begging Dale for about a week now to take him fishing, so despite the cold weather they went yesterday afternoon. Grandpa Theron, uncle Kevin and cousin Garrett went with them. Once they were there I don't think Brayden remembered they went to fish, he just had a blast playing with Garrett, they even got in trouble for throwing rocks in the lake. That is an absolute "no no" especially if you are with gpa Theron (Dale is the one who got mad though).
When they got home I asked Brayden how many fish they caught, he replied "We caught five fishies mom (holding up three fingers) and they were slippery". I think he had a fun time, he loves spending time with his dad!!!

So I did this post backwards, you get the finished product first!!! A couple of weeks ago we had family fun night at my moms. She invited all of us over for dinner, to carve pumpkins, and decorate a haunted house. I think the parents had more fun than the kids, the haunted house decorating turned into a friendly competition to see who could decorate the best house.

Cornbelly's
We had a fun night at cornbelly's last week. There were soooo many things to do and the kids did it all!!! They have everything from pedal bikes, big trampolines, dress-ups, to corn mazes, hay rides, and pig races. Yes pig races and aunt Amy even got to kiss one of the little pigs, (not that she was wanting to) she was chosen as the prettiest mom in the crowd!!! Here are all the kiddies in the HUGE rocking chair, Paisley was NOT happy that Brayden was standing next to her, and of course Brayden takes any chance he can to bug her. Heres Dale and I in the big chair
Our little princess Mckinley, this was of course the 1st thing she did
