Playing in my Wedding Dress

Just for kicks, I wanted to see if I could still squeeze into my wedding dress after having a baby. I was rather impressed with myself.

I wish I had more excuses to wear this dress. I always feel like a million bucks in it.

Brayden's Fall Down the Stairs

Brayden took his first topple down my parents' stairs today. It was so sad! Now is nose and forehead are all scuffed up.

Say Cheese!

Craig and I were screwing around with our camera by taking some really awful pictures. One of the reasons that I married this man is because he makes me laugh and he did not dissapoint tonight.

So Tired

I was out tonight, so Craig stayed home with Brayden. Because Craig new how much I'd like it, he took lots of pictures to send to me. They really did keep me smiling all evening.

The one above is my absolute favorite. It was cute to watch Brayden slowly get more and more sleepy as the night went on.

Random Pictures from January '09

Taken Saturday the 3rd: Our future rock star.

Also taken Saturday the 3rd: My cute husband holding my exhausted little boy.

Taken Sunday the 4th: I'm not sure why we decided to try out Brayden's ability to hang from his highchair, but he did a pretty good job.

Taken Thursday the 8th: Brayden playing with his reflection in the TV.

Also taken Thursday the 8th: Brayden used to love hanging out under our bed. He'd never go all the way under, just about half way.

Taken Saturday the 10th: I blame my mother for this one. As a kid, I remember her putting underwear on our heads when she was doing our laundry. Before putting Brayden's new swim diaper away I had to try it out.

Taken Friday the 23rd: My mom was adding the waistband to some of the PJ pants that she made for Brayden. She couldn't pass up the chance to try them on his head and I felt that this was a photo opportunity. Now I have an idea of what my son would look like with a full head of blue hair.

Also taken Friday the 23rd: Craig was less than impressed with this church-boy look on his son, but my mom thought it was adorable.

Taken Saturday the 24th: My boys cuddling up after Brayden's bath.

Also taken Saturday the 24th: This will give you an idea of how Brayden would look if we dressed him up as Shrek. I think it's rather becoming.

Shooting with the Guys

Today, Craig went out with some of the guys to go shooting on the west side of Utah Lake. He looks so good in this picture, it's ridiculous! I love him so much!

Game Night with the Smith's

Ya know, it's harder than it looks to make friends with another couple. It's very rare when all four people like each other enough to hang out regularly.

Now that we have made friends with another couple, TJ and April Smith, we have started having more game nights with them. Tonight we got together to play Uno and few other card games.

It was a lot of fun. I especially love having TJ over because Brayden adores him. TJ technically gave Brayden his first nickname, Bray. They are so cute to watch together.

Dancing in the Tub

Bath time is one of Brayden's favorite times of the day. He loves chewing on the rubber ducks and he loves splashing in the water. Below is a video of Brayden dancing in the bathtub.

At one of my baby showers I was given this little robe. I'm sure I like it a lot more than he does. Thanks, baby, for humoring me.

Playing at the Rec. Center

In a shimmering moment of sophistication and maturity, a group of us decided to go play around in one of the classrooms at the nearby recreation center.

In the above two pictures, we each posed with the workout balls. In the top you'll find Travis, Dean and Craig. Below that you find Haylie, me, Kira and her friend, Katelyn Ashby.

Here, Dean is attempting to do yoga on top of a tall platform. He wasn't very successful.

Below is a video of some of Travis' break dancing moves. He's pretty good.

Next is a video of a worm race. The four contestants are Craig, Kira, Dean and Travis. Even though both Kira and Dean try to cheat, Craig is the clear winner. Travis didn't even try.

I'm really glad we didn't get caught by anyone that worked there because I doubt they would have appreciated what we were doing. However, we had a ton of fun. It was nice to play like an immature teenager again.

New Year's Day

Another year has passed and I can't think of a better way to start the new year than eating good food surrounded by family. This is Brayden's first time coming to the Capizzi's annual Italian dinner.

After dinner, I got the chance to look through some of Sharon's scrapbooks of the family. I've only known this family as adults so it was fun to see pictures and hear stories of them when they were younger. I don't care what Craig says, I think he was an adorable kid.

As usual, Brayden had a lot of fun playing with the people he saw up there, especially Grandpa.
