Brayden's baptism!

It was almost 8 years ago that I was blessed with THE cutest little redheaded boy I had ever seen. I still remember the day you were born and the nurse announced that I had a little boy with tons of red hair. I hardly slept for days because I couldn't take my eyes off you. I don't know if you know it, but ever since I was a little girl I wanted a redheaded boy. You were and will always be an amazing blessing in my life.
I love this little redheaded boy that is full of life. He has many names. Big Red, Red, Torch, Sunshine and his new football nickname BA.


Brayden LOVES life. He is full of energy. He loves to make people laugh. He loves hugs and kisses. He loves to drive his sisters crazy at times (you can see the mischievous grin all over his face). He loves football, really loves it. He started tackle football this year and loved it. It was very hard for me to watch him, at first. My sweet little boy getting beat up, but he loved just about every minute of it. He doesn't like getting tackled but he loves to tackle others and has gotten really good at it. He can even make some of the older neighborhood boys cry when he tackles them. (And he is very skinny, might I point out!)


He loves to smile, which lights up the room. Which is where he got his nickname of Sunshine, from his Grami. Girls of all ages love him, how could you help it when you see that little man smile.


Brayden turns 8 on Saturday, January 29th and is VERY excited to get baptised ON his birthday. I am so proud of him and his desire to follow Christ. I can't believe my little man is turning 8!



Brayden, I love you and I am so proud of you. You are and will always be My Sunshine. Thank you for all your love, your smiles and your hugs and kisses. Thank you for always reminding us to pray and read our scriptures. Thank you for setting a good examples for your little sisters and your friends by getting baptised, but not only getting baptised but by being so excited about it and knowing that you are doing the right thing. I love you, my little redheaded man!
