Chris & I had the chance to go to another Twins Game tonight, since it was so late, we decided to leave Brayden with Grandma & Grandpa Westvig. Of course he had no problem with that, and we got to have a mini date night! We tried out our new camera and took some great shots, plus it was a great game, they won! Plus it was quite possibly the shortest game I have ever been to, it was only a little over 2 hours!
Today was Brayden’s first time seeing BIG FISH! We took our cousins to Underwater World at MOA and he seemed to really like it, or at least was very interested in all of the amazing fish swimming around him. He wasn’t scared in the least, he was trying to grab the jellyfish through the glass, silly boy!
Brayden & Grandma checking out the fish…and Maddie being a great tour guide! She was pretty excited to see all the Nemo’s & Dorie’s.
Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since we said “I Do” in this beautiful spot! So far we have been able to get back and visit every year. This year was extra special with the little guy.
It was his first time to Stillwater, and I think he loves it just as much as we do!
Brayden was so excited that Daddy took off the whole day to hang out with us!
We had lunch at the Freighthouse and 
they gave us a free dessert for our anniversary! Brayden thought we need help with the dessert.
It was our annual cabin weekend in Minocqua this weekend. We always have such a wonderful time at this little getaway. Last year, two of us girls were expecting our little men, this year two more ladies are expecting little ones. Our crew is rapidly expanding!
Grandma & Grandpa Stephany the first day that everyone arrived, of course it was chilly & rainy…wouldn’t a Moe’s weekend without it!
The sun came out for brief moments that we had to take advantage of…water was “refreshing”!
Brayden loved the water and his little floatie!
Grandma Deb & Great Aunt Kay posing for a cute pic.
Our attempt at a family picture…sort of worked.
Just chilling on the dock, looking cool with his spiky hair.
Brayden & Mommy having a good time.
I didn’t know my hat was for men too! Silly Uncle Fred!
One crew of boaters…there were many this weekend, and many skiers & boarders, including Mommy!
Brayden and his new friend, Landon, who is one month older than B.
Brayden doesn’t quite know how to be nice to his friends yet….next year it will be fun to see these two run around together!
My attempt to catch the beautiful moon reflecting on the water one night…sort of worked!
Brayden & Grandma watching the ducks & fish swim around.
Brayden absolutely loves to be in the driver seat, now apparently in the boat too…uh oh!
It was a chilly boat ride, but Brayden & Mommy enjoyed it of course.
Can you see the storm clouds in the background? On a side note, you can really see Brayden & Daddy’s cool blue eyes (in a closer up pic!).
Hanging out on the pontoon with Grandma, and the other Grandparents (or grandparents-in-training!).
See the mass chaos this weekend turns into…now add to it LOTS of toys! It’s pretty neat to see all the action.
Lots of People & Lots of Food!!
Chilling on the dock with the crew.
Happy couple from Colorado! I don’t have a pic of them, but the couple that came the furthest are from Southern Cali, and expecting their first baby in February. So happy!
As you can see in the next few pics, it was very hard to get the youngest generation to all look and be happy (and stay!) at the same time…..
All in all it was a great weekend, can’t wait for years to come to see all of these little kidlings grow up together, like their parents did!
So our little guy is now 9 months old. I know I say this every month, but I can’t believe it!!
Here are the latest stats:
29” – 75th percentile
20 lbs 7 oz – 50th percentile
head circumference – 75th percentile
It looks like he is starting to get a little “leaner” now, probably from all that crawling and pulling himself up onto EVERYTHING and walking when there are available fingers! He actually crawled up the stairs by himself this past week too. Also, we have been struggling to find new foods now, as baby food is apparently out of the question now. Sometimes he’ll eat it, but mostly he would rather just feed himself things. He is quite the smart little cookie.
I was finally able to convince Chris that we needed a new camera. After the swing pictures, he was quite frustrated with not being to “catch” Brayden in pictures. Here are a few fun shots with the new camera!
Anything look odd about this picture? Brayden wouldn’t let Chris feed him, so he used a tongs to feed him instead. It was quite comical!
These are the beautiful new lilies. I am so excited about having some new color in our front yard!
The Gals! Got the camera just in time for my 10 year reunion! It was a fun time at the races, although a little warm, a good time was had by all! Can’t believe it’s been 10 years already, craziness.
It was Brayden’s first 4th of July this weekend. Chris had both Monday & Tuesday off so we had lots of family time! 
Brayden was enjoying a cherry for lunch….they sure are a fun food for kids to eat!
On Saturday, Grandma Greta babysat Brayden so us adults (Chris, Me, Uncle Brad & Aunt Sarah) could go to the Twins game. It was a welcome break for all of us! However, the weather and the game could have gone a little better. I think next time we will be “cooler seats”, they have those right?
Just chilling with Daddy before we get ready for the day.
On Sunday, we went to the lake, where some friends are renting a house. We left before the fireworks started, and ended up watching the shows on TV instead, that was a first for Mommy & Daddy!!
On Monday, we bought a swing for Brayden….and as you can see from the pictures, found out we needed a new camera!
I discovered my new favorite store…Once Upon A Child! I found this little grill for Brayden…anyone hungry? He loves the grill!! Like father, like son apparently.
