 Zoie, Brecken and Jesse playing.  Brecken loved all the attention.

In November, we had an opportunity to go to southern California and visit lots of family.  The first part of our trip was to Rancho Cucamonga to see Steve's Grandma, Aunt Charlene, Uncle Dick, Jenny, Eric, Zoie and Jesse.  Brecken had so much fun playing with his cousins and it was great for Steve and I to catch up with the adults.  It was a long day, with getting up at 3:30 a.m. to catch our flight but Brecken loved the plane and then played all day with Zoie and Jesse.  It was adorable to watch him follow them around and try to do everything they were doing.  Such a needed and fun family visit.  Thank you for hosting us everyone.  I have more pictures and will send them to you guys.

Halloween 2011

 Brecken was a boxer for Halloween.  We ran into this little boy that is just a few days younger than B.  They were both pretty excited about their costumes.

 Brecken and mommy walked around the downtown Duvall business with Beth and the kids to get our first taste of trick or treating.  After about a 30 second warm up, Brecken loved trick or treating.  He was very good about saying "trick or treat and thank you" every time.  He held onto his first piece of candy the whole walk and didn't let it go until we got home and he could show Steve the very first piece he got.  All the others he put in the bag.  It was a piece of blue sour licorice.

Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee!!!  Quite the adorable little trick or treater.  When we got home from Duvall, Steve and I took B around our culdesac for more trick or treating.  He had a great time.  It was so much fun to watch him.  Then once we came home, he loved seeing the kids come to the door.  He just gets more and more grown up, next year should be just so much fun.

More Birthday Fun...

 Mommy and Daddy got B a pedal free bike for his birthday!

 Goofball having fun on his birthday!

Someone loves PB&J!

Brecken had a great birthday day.  Started off with Funfetti pancakes for breakfast and then yummy PB&J for lunch.  When Steve got home from work we took him to the park where he went down the slide over and over again.  Then we wrapped up his day with a fun dinner at Red Robin.  He wasn't so sure about the singing but clapped when they were done.

Brecken's 2nd Birthday!!!!

 Brecken is 2...I can't believe it.  These last two years have flown by.  There are so many days I wonder how we are already to bed time.  Life is crazy and wonderful.  We had Brecken's 2nd birthday party at our house on Saturday the 15th.  We rented a bouncy house with slide and couldn't get the kids out of it.  Luckily for us, the weather was chilly but beautiful out.

 This kid LOVES present time!!!

 Bouncy House Fun!!

After hours of bouncing (seriously, B was in the bouncy house from 1:30 until we called him over for presents at 4:30) we had cupcakes.  Brecken blew out his candles.  It was an amazing day.  So many family and friends here to celebrate our little guy.  We are all extremely blessed to have such love for B. 

Labor Day Weekend Fun..

 We had such a fun and busy Labor Day Weekend.  Thank goodness Brecken is a go go go type of kid.  Saturday was hiking and going to the fair.  He loves to hike and we figured he would be hungry enough to help  his parents eat their way through the fair.  He didn't even want to try an elephant ear or scone.  We couldn't believe it.  We had to eat his share!!!

 We did our Sunday morning breakfast ride to the Maltby Cafe where he devoured his portion of the famous cinnamon roll.  What a little oinker he was.  It was fun to watch his eyes just light up on his first bite.  There was a long downhill on the way home and he was clapping and yelling his way down the hill.  It was hysterical.

We went to our friends Bob and Nicole for a fun BBQ.  Colten and Brecken have grown up together and they loved playing in the "homemade" bouncy house tent.  They just ran around and around and around all afternoon and into the evening.  These boys have quite the "bromance".  :)

Monday we went out on the boat all day where we swam and played in the sun.  It was a nice relaxing day and a great ending to a fun and busy weekend.

California Girls

Brecken's cousins from LA came up for a visit the last week of July.  He had a blast playing with them at Greenlake all day.  Katerina, Peyton and Lily were great with him.  Steph and Dave also got a lot of quality time with B.  He enjoyed getting to know them all much better. 

Happy Faces

Who doesn't love waking up and being SuperMan. Brecken was very excited.
I love PB&J, it makes me messy and happy.
This is what is known as "hamming it up for the camera"!
Who doesn't love the park on a gorgeous Seattle day.
Brecken is just one happy and silly kid.
