Braden's 9th Birthday

Braden had his 9th birthday this year. It's hard to believe he is that old. Time has flown by. He celebrated with two of his friends. We took them to Dayton to play Lazer Tag and then we came back to the house for them to hang out and have ice cream.

Five Generations

We were all together at Christmas.

Great Grandma Carpenter, Amber, Me, Grandma Jones and of course, Isabella.

Hunter wants his teeth for Christmas

ou






























Hunter has been losing his teeth like crazy. One fell out the day we left for Gatlinburg. We were home a week and he lost his other front tooth. Then on Christmas Eve, he lost the bottom one. He has another one that is almost ready to fall out also.

Thanksgiving in Gatlinburg

We went to Gatlinburg to meet Brent's family for Thanksgiving. We got there a day ahead of time so the boys wanted to spend the day at Wonder Works. Wonder Works is a huge science museum. In the pictures, you will see Braden making big bubbles and Hunter laying on a bed of nails. There are also many other pictures.















































































We spent the rest of the time hanging out with the family at the condo, swimming and sightseeing. We spent our last day there at Ober Gatlinburg. Hunter tried ice skating for the first time. All of us took the opportunity to try the Alpine Slide and Sky Lift.

Bowling Fun

The boys went bowling with our church. Here are some action shots. Braden had a hard time because Hunter dropped a 10 pound ball on his toe at the very beginning.
