All Things Sanders...Oh Boy!

Here are a few shots of Easter morning. Jackson hunted for Easter eggs like a pro. He had fun discovering what was inside...some money, some candy, and some stickers! He even had to get out his baseball bank to save his loot!

Sweet Braden

Braden has discovered his tongue. He sticks it out any chance he gets. He loves to flash a goofy grin and stick his tongue out, especially if you stick yours out first.

Always smiley and good natured, Braden is watching big brother swing on the back deck.

Braden decided to attack the camera. He loves anything with flashing lights.

Daddy and Braden loving on each other.

Happy Birthday Grammy Dot and Daddy

This weekend we celebrated Shaun's 30th Birthday and my Grandma Dot's 84th Birthday. We had a great Bar-be-que and fun family time. Jackson even let Daddy wear his special preschool birthday crown for the festivities.

Wii Bowling and A Big Wrestling Match with Daddy

Jackson has gotten really good at Wii bowling. He can beat us on most days, and loves to win! He also loves wrestling with Daddy. This is not just a light tumble, but down and out body slamming, stand on Daddy fun!

Goofing Around and Driving Grammy Dotti's Van

Hanging with Braden

Braden is getting so big and has such personality. Here are a few shots of him playing, hanging out with Papa, and sleeping.

Is that a cute face or what!?!

I love Braden's smiles! Here are some silly shots from this weekend. I can't get enough! Clearly we have a lot of fun whenever we can. Each shot is a different moment where I am scaring him by saying "Boo!" Sometimes I capture his eyes open, others not, but I love every shot!

You know how you feel at the end of a day?

Braden is such a sweet, good natured boy. He hardly ever cries and always has smiles to offer, but tonight he just seemed too tired to show off his goofy grins. Here are a few shots of a cute and tired boy. I love that sweet face even when he isn't smiling!

Thanks Uncle Cam!

Daddy and Uncle Cam went to a Blazer game this week and found a Brandon Roy jersey for Jackson. Jackson loved it so much he had to wear it today.

Splashes and Belly Laughs

Braden has two fantastic new tricks, splashing in the bath and belly laughing. Here are two clips of Braden showing off how smart he is!

Braden is now relentless in his splashing during bath time. Very cute, but very wet!

I have always believed that the laughter of children is the most beautiful sound in the world. Now that I have my own kids I know it to be true. I can't help but grin and chuckle to myself when I hear the belly laugh of one of my boys.

Playing in the Mirror With Grammy

Grammy was showing Braden how the mirror worked this weekend.l He was fascinated by that baby looking back at him.

Watching Grammy in the mirror.

Jackson had to peek to see what Grammy was doing too. That Grammy is a fun lady!

Braden giving kisses to that baby in the mirror!

Sweet Little Goofus!

I just can't resist posting pictures of sweet Braden. He is growing so fast and has new tricks everyday. He is almost eight months old and brings such joy to our lives. Jackson adores him and we are so glad he helped grow our family. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the last few days.

Notice the faux-hawk? Braden's hair is getting so long on top that I had to do something. At this age Jackson was practically bald, so this hairy little guy makes me think I will have to give him haircuts far sooner than his older brother.

Braden loves to smile and laugh. He is a goofy little guy and already just as much of a ham as his brother. I think he senses that he will need to compete with all the cuteness of Jackson. Lucky for him he can hold his own in the cute department.

My sweet cherub.

I snapped this picture tonight before dinner. Braden was hanging out in the high chair while we cooked. He is always ready to shoot a grin my way, and luckily I have gotten pretty good at capturing them.
