Maternity Photos

When I had Braden I never had any maternity photos taken...and you were probably thinking I wasn't going to again since I never post any photos with the belly. Thanks to Noelle we had a little fun doing these ones. I hope you enjoy. Warning...there is a lot of Lindsey and a lot of belly in these shots :) Thanks again to Noelle's photo skills after 150 pics we got a few keepers. I posted my favorites...

Family Photos

We had a few family photos done Easter weekend...these include a few family maternity shots. Other maternity ones will be coming soon. Thanks Noelle for doing such a great job!

Braden's Baby

Braden has a little baby that he last night decided to pack around with him everywhere. So I showed him how to wrap the baby up nice and tight to keep him warm. I have to say this was the best thing ever...he went right to bed SO HAPPY cause he was holding his baby. He said "night night mama" and went right to sleep...why didn't we find this baby sooner?? Below Braden rocked his baby to sleep and gave a cheese ball grin for my camera phone.

Photo shoot with Braden

So a couple weeks ago Noelle and I set out to take a few photos of Braden. Being the good mom that I am......it was 11 degrees outside, nice huh. Braden did so well, he sat on that little chair no problem. We had to take a few breaks every 10 minutes or so to warm up in the car since his little fingers were ice cold. I am so happy with how they turned out...THANKS Noelle.

Braden's 2nd Birthday Party - Football what else?

For those of you who know Braden you know his favorite thing EVER is football. It might have had something to do with his dad, not sure. The first time Brian showed him the football and got him to say it, it just stuck. SO that became the theme for his party. I had a lot of fun planning it and thanks to my mom she helped me pull it all off.

She found the football mold so we could make a fun cake. We made a chocolate marble cake x2 with a buttercream filling. Putting the two halves together gave us the perfect football shape. We made 6 little footballs for all the kids, they were really cute...you can see a photo later in this post on Braden's plate.

We made some Braden half time treats: swedish meatballs, buffalo chicken, pigs in a blanket, veggies, chips, and dips. Took all day to make but was yummy and fun to eat.

Braden running for food...a little blurry...err.

Love this smile!

Making fun music

So Braden only has girlfriends...and there are only girl cousins in our family. But I dont think he minds. Trying ot get 5 toddlers to look in the same direction, real fun. But they actual did all stay seated for a slit second.

Present time. This is Emrie, Braden's favorite little girlfriend. She was a big helper while Braden opened presents.

Emrie got him a little hoop, which he LOVES.

lots of new clothese from Grammy and Papa

The one thing that Brian wanted to get Braden was a basketball hoop. A little too big right now but he loves it. It just means that Brian or I have to help him anytime he wants to play "hoop hoop hoop."

Grandpa helping all the kids play

Braden was so excited when everyone started signing to him.

A little help from dad and the candle was out

You can see the cute little footballs. Braden loved his chocolate cake.

Thank you to everyone who came and helped celebrate Braden's 2nd birthday.
