Rainy weekend

It rained all weekend, so it was a perfect time to pick up the TONS of toys one of the doctors I work with had set aside for Braden. We spent all weekend cleaning out the playroom, and sorting through 8 trash bags full of GI Joes, remote control cars, and nerf guns.

We also traded in our devil rodent! This is our new "Smokey" He's much nicer! When we walked into the pet store with the mean one, Braden told the lady that he "eats people." HA!

Bon Jovi 2010

How do I describe the happiest place on earth .... here's a few pictures ...Me and my P ...

sing to me, Jon ...

loved the hat so much, had to wear it to work! Nothing like saving lives with a little Bon Jovi on my side ...Livin' on a Prayer ...

Spring time!

Spring is here! Braden has started soccer! He is doing so well ... his coach has even been using him as an example! I was trying not to be so shocked, but the Braden I had in soccer a year ago definitely has grown up a ton! I'm so proud!

Easter 2010

I had to clear out the camera for Bon Jovi tomorrow ... so here's some Easter pictures! I know I'm a slacker!

Braden and Madison headed to the egg hunt in Claremore on Saturday

goofballs

yay! We got a ton of worthless crap!

Braden hunting eggs on Easter morning ... the lawn mower found more than he did

ready for church ... 200 people got baptized in service that morning, but even more remarkable was the fact that Braden got the "quiet seat surprise!" yay Braden!

the loot

life lesson in a tampon box

so Braden learned his first hard life lesson this weekend. Our sweet pet hamster, Jullian went to hamster heaven on Saturday, and we had a funeral for him. I found the smallest box I had ... haha! Braden seemed to be fine until the dirt covered Jullian ... then it all made sense. We held each other and cried over the dirt pile for what seemed like forever. So sad ...

So we replaced him with "Smoky" ... he sucks. He's mean, and nothing like our sweet Jullian. We're taking him back the first chance we get. If I can't find one like Jullian, I don't want another one!

Braden picking the not-so-perfect spot ...

We WON!

.... Well, not yet .... but we will! See, I already have tickets to see Bon Jovi on April 13th because I loooooooove him and I had tickets the minute they went on sale, but when I heard about this contest on the radio I just couldn't resist. They wanted videos of people singing to their songs on the radio station. Well, I had an adorable video of Braden singing to "You Give Love a Bad Name" Remember? If you don't ... go down to July of last year on the blog ... It was so stinkin' cute. Well, the only problem there was that it had to have proof that you were listening to 106.1 on the video. I know what you're thinking ... and I did. I tried to cheat and mix two videos together, but my Mac is smarter than I give it credit for, and I just couldn't make it happen. So we went for a redo, and this is what we came up with!

Well, guess what! We are a finalist! They picked 5 finalists! So go vote! We have until April 12th at 5pm and the voting starts at midnight tonight (so Wednesday April 7th - Monday April 12th).

Go to GenXTulsa.com, type in keyword "cameraphone" and vote for the video of Braden singing - You can vote as much as you want!

Here's the video! Enjoy!

I can't wait to see our competition!
