Breaking Boards

Tonight at Hunter's Karate class, he got to break a board with his fist. The look on his face after he did it was priceless, he put his arms up to show his muscles after he did (eventhough the instructor kept telling him to get in the fighting stance). One of those moments that makes you so proud of them.

Playing in the snow

Thursday we went in the backyard to play in the snow. This was Brayden's first time to get to play in the snow. He just stood in the same spot for the longest time like he was afraid to move, or maybe he was frozen. Finally he started walking around, but everytime he fell down he would just cry, he is not a big fan of the snow touching his clothes.

I think I'm frozen.

Sledding at B-maws

Wednesday we ventured out for a few hours of sledding fun at Danny's parents house. Hunter had a great time, although walking back up that big hill wasn't that much fun. Danny had to pull him up a few times on the sled, and I think Hunter even talked him into putting him on his shoulders a few times. Uncle Phillip, Carrie, and Taylor were there also. Hunter and Taylor had so much fun going down the hill together eventhough a few times the sled turned around on them and the ended up going down backwards. Hunter slept well that night.

Do I really have to walk up this hill?

Almost to the top

I think Danny and Phillip had more fun then the kids.

Watching a movie

Last night the boys were watching Tarzan together, it was so cute the two of them together.

Eatin' Spaghetti

No doubt about it, Brayden loves to eat. He will eat almost anything that you put in front of him. Having a child that eats like this is a new experience for us since Hunter is so picky. I think Hunter could live on pop tarts and jelly sandwiches for the rest of his life if we let him.

Tubes

We had our ENT appointment today. Hunter is now down to 1 tube the right one has now fallen out after 2 years, and if the other one doesn't fall out this year then it will have to be removed. Brayden will be receiving his ear tubes on February 12th. I hope it goes better then it did when Hunter got his, he cried the 45 minute ride home from the surgery center saying his ears hurt, then when we pulled into the driveway he threw up in the car.

Finally........

Brayden went and saw our pediatrician yesterday. He said that the right ear looked horrible, and that the eardrum had ruptured, which I already knew since he woke up on Sunday morning with a crusty ear. He finally referred us to the ENT. Hunter already had an appointment for today with them, so they were kind enough to squeeze them in together. So we are fianlly one step closer to tubes for Brayden.
