7/2/12 - I couldn't believe I heard my 1st quote from Jaydon! We saw a train stopped on the tracks & Jaydon was saying "go, train, go!" I was explaining to him that it was stopped & wasn't going right now...to which he responds with "bavery!" Which meant battery! Of course, because when things stop @ our house, it usually needs a battery!
Now on to Braylon's juicy july thoughts...
7/2 - Braylon was bouncing Jaydon on the air mattress & says "wow I didn't bounce him this high 2 days ago before I went to 1st Camp @ Amigo w/Dad. I must've grew weight. I must be 50 lbs. now instead of 41 lbs.!"
* Braylon says "Goldie is like a bug becuz she squirms around!" Goldie is our goldfish.
7/8 - I'm cutting up grapefruit for Braylon & he says "I wonder how many seconds it'll take her to dig them out!" Dig what out, Braylon?
* Braylon says "I ate a grapefruit seed!" I said "oh good, you'll just grow grapefruit for us then." Braylon responds with "but I don't live in the south!"
7/23 - Braylon is giving his friend Noah a ride on the spinning chair & says "let's take a trip to China. That's where most the toys are made. I want to see how they are made!"
7/24 - Jaydon is bringing in a molar in his mouth & so we gave him a teether ring that's been in the freezer. Braylon says "can I try it? It might help bring in my grown up teeth!"
7/25 - Braylon says to Ben "you're bending my hand ankle!" He meant his wrist...but I agree, hand ankle makes more sense! :)

May & June Thoughts
Oops, I forgot last month to post Braylon's May thoughts so now I'm posting May & June thoughts!
5/5/12 - I made an egg sausage muffin casserole & said "I won't make this again." Braylon says "becuz there's too much baby sugar?" He meant to say baking powder! Where in the world did he come up w/baby sugar! :)
5/6 - Braylon says "hey we're drinking jelly belly blueberry pop & have blueberry jelly bellys so can we taste the comparence?" He meant to say comparison! Close! I do like the sound of comparence better than comparison though, I'd have to say! :)
5/30 - Braylon skinned his leg while playing on the Burger King playland. He says "good thing I have 7 layers of skin!"
* We went to Meijer to buy lettuce for Braylon's tadpoles. We get to the lettuce section & Bray asks "is there tadpole lettuce?" He was actually serious about this question!
* I had Braylon put his dinosaur PJs on @ bedtime. I said "wow, are you growing? I think these PJs are getting smaller on you." Bray says "yeah! I'm growing! Must be becuz I'm having a birthday soon! In fact, I'm growing early!" (his birthday is 17 days later so that's why he said early!)
* I was tucking the tag in of his PJ top & Braylon can't stand the feel of tags. He says "I have an attitude with tags!"
6/10 - I go & try to get Braylon's sleepers out of the corner of his eyes & he says "I already got them all cleaned out. Did another one crawl in?"
6/28 - 3 children are coming over today for my daycare. Braylon says "5 kids to watch! Well, actually, 4 for us 2!" He takes his helper job seriously! :)
* We're out looking for bugs for Braylon's praying mantis. He says "maybe they'll fall from the sky like manna!" I am glad that they don't!
6/30 - Ben is sweeping the house & he says "the vacuum cleaner is blinking @ me. I need to change it." Braylon says "change what? It's diaper?" Do you think maybe we change a lot of diapers in this house?!
Stay tuned for "juicy july thoughts!"

Some Pictures
Oct. 22, 2011 - We were outside in the evening playing in our backyard. Of course, I was taking pictures of our fun time together. All of a sudden, my shutter flap to the view finder of my camera (I'm sure those are not the correct terms but that's how I think of it) would only partially open & I still tried taking a picture & it looked so cool that I kept snapping more shots becuz of how neat it looked w/the shutter partly closed! So enjoy!

Kindergartener!!!!!
I can't believe my baby is going to be going to Kindergarten! Ok, this is me talking in the past tense becuz when I am posting this Braylon actually only has 6 days left of Kindergarten! And I am just posting about him getting started! Oh boy! But by now you know that's just me...always posting late, late, late! I'm seriously trying to "catch-up!" I am ONLY 9 months behind! Ok, enough about me & my procrastinating or whatever it is...on to my BIG BOY!


4/26/11 was Kindergarten Round-Up! Here's Braylon on his way...
to Oxbow School!
Here we are in the cafeteria...Ben & I had LOTS of paperwork to fill out! There was an activity sheet for Braylon to work on while we did our work.
After all that hard work, we were able to go see what a Kindergarten classroom looks like! How fun! Guess whose room we got to look at?! Mrs. Yoder's room! How neat is that since we are Yoders too!
There was also a school bus there for the kiddos to check out!
4 Months later, we get to go to a Kindergarten Open House!
Guess who Braylon has for his Kindergarten teacher??? MRS. YODER!!! Yeah! We found out later that we are distantly related.
Mrs. Yoder, Braylon, & Mrs. Gove (sign language teacher, there will be 3 hearing impaired students in his class). Mrs. Yoder is pregnant so when he comes back from Christmas break he'll have a different teacher. Mrs. Gove will still be there though.
8/22/11 - My Big Boy's 1st day of Kindergarten! I wake Braylon up @ 7:30am. He gets dressed, eats breakfast, brushes teeth, puts on shoes & backpack, & leaves the house @ 8:20am to catch his bus!
Here's Braylon all ready to go!
Bus #7 comes around 8:25-8:30am. Guess who his bus driver is?! MRS. YODER! Isn't that just crazy?! His bus driver & teacher are both Mrs. Yoder!
Getting on the big yellow school bus!
Braylon sits @ the 2nd window! Ben's reflection is in the bus door! He came home from work to see Braylon get on the bus for the 1st day! Isn't he the greatest Dad?!
Nope, I didn't cry. Probably cuz I had Jaydon w/me. He kept me distracted. Yes, this is me following the school bus! :) I just HAVE to know what his bus route is so I know how he gets to school. He only has 2 stops after his & then it's straight to school. The bus goes the exact same route as if I would be going to his school from home. It's only a 5 min. ride which makes me one happy mom! :)
Jaydon & I sat in the parking lot & waited for Braylon to get off the bus. The man on the rt. is the school principal, Mr. Butler.
THERE HE IS!!!!! :) in the blue coat.
Standing in line & waiting some more. That is one LONG line!
Braylon finally saw me! He was happy to see me even tho the picture tells a different story! :)
THERE HE GOES INTO SCHOOL FOR THE 1st TIME!
What did Jaydon & I do on our 1st day without Braylon? Well, we went shopping, of course! :)
And we visited Ben at work!
And acted silly!
And read books!
And before we knew it...it was time to go pick Braylon up @ the bus stop! He's getting off the bus! He had a GREAT 1st day! He LOVES school! I am one happy & proud Mama!
After supper, we decided to go to Flavor Freeze to celebrate Braylon's 1st day of school w/icecream!
Yum! Yum!
Many pictures to document this moment!
