Braiden turned 11 earlier this month!!! WOW! He had a fun and exciting birthday weekend! Friday after school we picked up him and all of his friends from school and took them swimming to 1000 Springs. Those boys had a blast and swam for 2+ hrs. the only reason they got out of the pool was because they were hungry! We stopped in Twin and took them to Chick-Fil-A for dinner, yummy! That just might have been the most fun and relaxing birthday party I've ever done! hip hip!
Saturday, his actual birthday, we got up early and headed to Pocatello for Bella's baptism, and then hit Costco before heading to Idaho Falls for Ashlyn's baptism.
Here's those two sweet girls on their special day!
Special day for all three...The birthday boy and the baptism girls.
I had to do this...on Ashlyn's blessing day I took a picture of these three who are so close in age Dec (Brody) Jan (Bella) and Feb (Ashlyn)

* just a little side note of one proud auntie, my two nieces (Kailey and Em) did the music for Ash's baptism and I was BLOWN away!!! Kailey has passed me up on the piano, as in she played a song that I had to practice to death to be able to play. WOW! Em lead the music, and they are so young, think of how great they are going to be when they are older!!!
After a little Chuck-a -Rama and some sledding we headed for home, we stopped at Dick's Sporting Goods and Braiden got to pick out a new pair of shoes for his birthday.
Home at last...at about 10:00 he got to open the rest of his birthday presents...
Since 2 days of partying is never enough we went up to gma and gpa Catmull's after church on Sunday for dinner and cake...and more presents. :)
Make a wish!
I think he had a great birthday, as for the birthday party, we'll be doing that again! It was the perfect activity for a late winter/early spring party.
