Creative Exercise

We got creative with Braiden's foam building blocks and made him a pair of dumb bells to exercise with daddy.

He perfected his one handed form now let's try two hands.

Perfect form!

AND concentration too!!!

Blissful

It wasn't long ago when Michael could hold ALL of Braiden on his arm as if he was holding a bowling ball.  Now all that fits is his head while the rest of his body is hanging off. 

Just shows how fast he's growing up :(

One thing that has remained the same is this sweet blissfulness that surrounds him when he's fast asleep.

OH... AND his longgg eyelashes too ;)

Chocolate Chip Cookie

Braiden sure knows how to devour yummy goodness :)

One bite at a time!

Transformer

Mommy's savvy sale & coupon shopping 

 =  Fun! Free!! Toy!!!

Braiden couldn't wait to read the instructions on how to transform his car "Bumble Bee" into a robot. 

Maybe Daddy can help?

Aha!!!

PeW, PeW!!!

Spur of the moment stroll on the beach

The Trang Ohana found ourselves beach deprived this year so this spur of the moment stroll on the beach felt so refreshing!

Only in California,

you would find us at the beach with our clothes on =)

Can't wait till the Trang Ohana hits the beach

for a much needed vacation!!!

Bowling 'n Sushi

It was a family affair night!

A game of bowling paired with family and sushi was on order this evening since Grandpa Dale was in town! 

Braiden has been to the bowling alley many times but he has either been too small to participate or has been sleeping so this was his actual FIRST experience with this sport.

Braiden DO IT!

too heavy...

Let's roll it!

Strike!!!

Come on Matthew!!!

A green ball light enough for him to use.

Go ball! Go Go Go!!!

So anxious to put on his bowling shoes =)

Check me out!

Studying the score board.

Sissy, ball has puka!

SUSHI Time!!!

After working up a hearty appetite, we met up with the rest of the family to enjoy some Japanese food!

There's enough food here to induce us into a food-coma =)

Check out Katie's spread!!!

I can DO IT!!!

I'll help you Auntie!

Hooray!!!  Braiden succeeded in using chopsticks!

Good job Mr. B!!!

He knows how to eat good!!!

Brother's Bed

I went into Braiden's room to see if he was taking his nap and was frantic when he was nowhere to be found.  After looking for him in many rooms,  I found him sound asleep on Brother Matthew's bed -Probably missing him since they've been back to school these past few weeks.  Hurry home Matthew!
