Happy Birthday to YOU, Happy Birthday to YOU, Happy Birthday dear BRAKEN, Happy Birthday to You!! 10 years old, wow I feel old, and he's loving having an age with 2 digits, don't know why, I keep telling him wait 20 years and he'll hate it, but were all enjoying the moments. You know your kids are getting old when all they want is clothes, money and a cell phone for every holiday and birthday each year. What happened to playing with the cheap toys? I guess that's just not in their generation anymore. Oh how we love this boy so much, and it's such a blessing to have Braken in our lives, he keeps us laughing and makes family time so much fun, and he's always teaching us lessons along the way. Son we hope you have a great Birthday. We Love You Very Much!
Braken got clothes




Clothes

and more clothes.

and a cell phone. He even got a red phone cover because he likes Utah. Now that means RESPONSIBILITY! His face was priceless when he opened it, it was hilarious. We've been talking about this for awhile and he thought he was getting it in a couple of years, or so we had him convinced he was. With sports and other activities do you even know how nice it is that we can get ahold of them if we need to. And he's even learning how to text and he thinks that's the greatest thing next to sliced bread. It was so funny because Payton had 2 baseball games on saturday which was Braken's birthday and he kept texting my parents trying to start a conversation with them just so he had a reason to text someone. We were sitting on the bleachers and I look over and brakens nose deep in his phone and I asked him what he was doing and he said "texting grandpa and grandma to see if their close", and I laughed because they were walking up at that moment but he wouldn't know cause he was too busy texting. lol it was great and we all understood his excitement. Even aunt Lyndi and her family called him on his phone to wish him a happy birthday and boy does he think he's all that and a bag of chips. We love it. They just grow up way too fast. We are so lucky to have such good boys.

And I bet you can't guess where we went for ice cream: Yep, Leatherby's!!!!

Leatherby's made Braken stand on a chair while they sang Happy Birthday but my video wouldn't down load, he was so embarrased his face was as red as his shirt. Good times had by all. Thanks everyone for your support!
