O.k. I am finally getting around to doing this! Brayden and Layna have tagged Braeden!
http://amylynn3-thegoldsteins.blogspot.com/
Amy's blog is great and I LOVE pics of her kiddos!

SO here are ten things about Braeden:
1. Braeden LOVES music. He is the most musical baby that I have ever seen. He has GREAT rhythm.
2. Braeden does this karate chop thing if he doesn't want to do something. It basically means, GO AWAY!
3. Braeden LOVES balloons. I mean bordering on obsession. If he sees a balloon, he MUST have it.
4. Braeden LOVES the bathtub. He loves to splash and take footballs and playground balls INTO the tub. We try to stop him but he just gives us the Karate chop!
5. Braeden is a GREAT snuggler. He will always take time to snuggle with us each day!
6. Braeden remembers EVERYTHING. If he does something with his Grandmom, he will remember it MONTHS later and ask to do it again! If he sees something in a house, he will remember it MONTHS later.
7. Braeden goes to bed at 7:45. If he stays up past then, he becomes a LOON.
8. Braeden STILL drinks a bottle. He does not mind if you tell him ONLY babies drink bottles. He just says, "Pass the BaBa."
9. Braeden likes to play in his sisters' room the best. He LOVES their rug and will lay on it and smile the BIGGEST smile.
10. Braeden is the LIGHT of Mommy's life and he KNOWS it! HE has me wrapped around his finger!!!!!!

Thank you, Easter Bunny!!

Braeden had a wonderful time on Easter. He discovered his love of HAM! I mean big time LOVE! It was too cute. He also discovered his love for his cousin, Madison!!

Tomorrow Mommy has to go back to work. Boo!!! I wish I could stay at home with Braeden ALL the time!! Hint...Hint...Daddy!!

Mr. Silly Makes a Comeback...

Braeden is VERY into being silly lately. He talks in a very strange deep voice. We're not sure who he is being??? He crosses his eyes, even though Mommy repeatedly tells him not to. He ROARS at strangers. Yes, he is scary. He dances, plays the drums, and ROCKS OUT often. He climbs in the toy box. He colors on people's heads.
Let's just say this little man is FEELING GOOD!


We didn't tell him that his shirt was on backward. Haha.

He LOVES his Daddy.

Happy Valentine's Day...Hubba Hubba!

Mi Amor...Have these flowers as a token of my love...


No, no, you MUST take the flower!


I will now give you my bedroom eyes...


I am a Latin Lover!

Iria hasta los extremos de la Tierra por ti.

I read this today. It means...I would go to the ends of the earth for you.
True, my pablito.

I love Braeden!!!

I love our little boy more than life itself! He is the sweetest, funniest little boy I know!
This week...he loves MONSTERS (ROOOOOOOR), crayons, and our NEW Laurie CD!!! We do the Monster wiggle, the Monster wiggle!!

Hello, again!!

Daddy, you're the greatest!!

Oh, no, Mommy!! YOU'RE the greatest!!!

O.k. O.k. STOP TICKLING ME!!!!

Silly boy!!

We have been very busy with getting things ready for our three new additions! Braeden has been doing wonderfully! He is walking so much more and he talks away all day (too bad we're not sure what he is saying...i'm sure it is VERY important, though.)

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Hello, everyone!
PLEASE check out our new blog:
www.thesimmonssix.blogspot.com
Let's just say...the name says it ALL!!

We're jazzing things up!

Well, it's a new year...we've got a new look!
Braeden got a hair cut. Mommy got a hair cut! We are all stylin' in '08!!

Wishing you the Happiest of New Year's!

Shawn and I are so thankful for a wonderful year. Braeden has grown from a baby into a big boy. Shawn and I are happier than ever.

Shawn has become such a strong, wonderful teacher at the senior high and I'm doing o.k. myself at the charter school.

Most importantly, Braeden brings joy and humor to us each and every day. Whether he is being an angel or a monster, it is always an experience!! We wish everyone a safe, peaceful 2008 and pray that God will bless us with our complete family in the coming year!

Love to all,
The Simmons (Shawn, Megan, Braeden, Aspen, RW&R)

We are PRAYING for a New Year's filled with love and hope...and MORE Simmons members!

I LOVE THIS, JILLY!!!!!!

Oh, the search for the PERFECT Christmas picture!

Here are some of the cutie pie pictures we took the other night as possible contenders for our Christmas cards! Braeden, Shawn and our dog, Aspen, were being silly together as we watched the Shrek Christmas story (which was GREAT!!!)

P.s. For those of you "in the know", I am making another blog to follow our "new" journey! I will e-mail the address to everyone!

Thankful for THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!

Finally, here are some Thanksgiving pictures! We had a wonderful day and Braeden was an angel! He loved, loved, loved Mike's Mom, Pat, and spent most of the day with her.
The picture of Braeden from behind is a VERY special picture because it shows my little boy WALKING!
We also had our first attempt at a Christmas picture of the four kids. I think Braeden had other plans, though. He is too much...poor Erin!

Lunch for One

Here are a few pictures of Braeden enjoying some Lunchy on a Sunday afternoon. I just think these are too cute.

Braeden's Turning TWO!!!!!!!!

I know everyone says this but I really can't believe how quickly time flies! We had Braeden's second birthday party last night! It was so much fun and I kept looking at him all night and thinking...my baby is a little boy.

Braeden had a BLAST. He was OBSESSED with balloons, his new car, and his race track. Braeden got TONS of presents...it was like Christmas a month early!

Oh, by the way...The adults had a pretty good time, too!

One word...Elvis

Our little man was Mr. Presley for Halloween. Yes, that is right, the KING! Thank you, thank you very much.

These men like s-p-o-r-t-s...

Like father, like son.




(Psst...someone should probably tell Braeden that the Eagles have a losing record.)

He shoots! He scores!

Air Braeden is all about B-ball lately!
