Memorial Day Weekend

On Saturday we took Braydon to his very first movie "Shrek Forever After". Since it only costs $3 per adult we would only be out $6 if he couldn't stand the movie. The run time for the movie was 1 hour and 34 minutes. That seemed to be a good amount of time and he might actually make it through the movie. He lasted an hour before he wanted to get down and walk around. I consider that a success!
On Sunday it was overcast but that didn't stop us from going to the pool. Last year Braydon would only go up to his thighs. We figured he would love the pool since he loves taking baths. Well at first he wasn't so sure and would fuss a little and cling to me. After a few minutes he warmed up to the pool and began to enjoy it. The weather wasn't that great, but the pool is heated and stays at 78 degrees. We are going to go more often and he will see how much fun the pool is. Later that night we had some friends over and caught up on our trips. They were gone the same time we were and went to Beaches resort in Turks and Caicos, we will have to take a trip there.

Monday we had planned to go to Argrigento (sp) but neither one of us felt really good. So we spent the day in the house in our pj's and relaxing. Hope everyone had a good Memorial Day!

County Fair

Each May the base puts on a County Fair. There are booths with different types of food, carnival rides, bands, and vendors. Last year Braydon was only a few weeks old when they had the fair so we didn't really explore very much of it. This year we went both days and really enjoyed ourselves. Braydon is still too young to try any of the rides, but that didn't stop me from trying them for him.

Chris's command always has a food booth, but this year I wasn't feeling their food (soul food really isn't my cup of tea). So I spent my money at the Filipino booth, I even went back for seconds, their food just tastes soooo good. We also enjoyed funnel cakes (after waiting a 1/2 hour for it), some sangria, and even a deep fried twinkie. It's a good thing I waited to start my diet!

Our weekend wasn't all about the county fair though. We had some friends over to celebrate Braydon's birthday. He has had three birthday parties so I don't know how we will ever compete again with his first birthday! We waited until this party to give him the gift we got him, which was a 4x4 for 12-36 month old children.

Our Vacation

We just got back from a trip home, it was very exhausting but also very fun. Braydon celebrated his first birthday and also his christening. We took him to his first Cubs game and also to the Zoo for the first time. Braydon had his one year photos done by my friend Jessica and both he and her did an amazing job. We traveled to Kentucky to visit with Chris's family and let Braydon spend some time with his cousins. Hayden is 18 months and Maddie is almost 12, they both love Braydon and the three of them had a great time. Hayden was very sad to see Braydon go and she cried when we left.
