Day #3 Started Out Rough

He found his smile AFTER he got sick!

Finally he is getting some good sleep

Moaning, groaning and throwing up is how the day started out in the wee hours of the morning.  Poor Bracken! He and I slept (if you can call it that) on the bathroom floor together.  Aren't sleepovers great!  After he got sick he went to sleep and slept until 11:00 a.m., since he woke up he has been going strong all day, not sick any more yeah!  

Let's play Uno!

              Bracken didn't win the game, his pouting reminds me of     someone else when he was young LOL!

                 Luckily Steve got home today and helped to put a smile back on his face

Puzzles are a favorite for Bracken

Today has brought lots of rain and cold, but that is perfect for playing games and having fun together.  As we come to the end of a fun weekend we look forward to more good times in the near future.  Actually we are painting Bracken and Ema's bedroom tomorrow afternoon, that will be a fun adventure . . . .!

Day #2

Our day started out being very lazy!  Bracken and I woke up at 9:30!  I don't think I have EVER slept in that long.  Wow was it nice!  After a relaxing morning we went outside and made some more fun memories together. . . . We started out looking at the beautiful Fall leaves.  There were deer everywhere we went, we counted 24 deer including 2 big bucks . . . . it was a lot of fun!

We decided to take the 4 wheeler for a spin which turned into quite an adventure.  We looked for deer, checked out the big metropolis of Pine Valley, and then went to our favorite place, the toilet bowl and jump which was as fun as ever.  Then I did something I haven't done before, I let Bracken drive . . . . that might have been a mistake because he LOVED it!  

Our next venture was hiking - Bracken was the hike leader taking me

straight up the hill to his "hideout" on top of the rocks clear up on top!

Here we are "on top of the world"  what a great accomplishment.  Bracken was so careful  

to make sure I watched out for cactus, stickers and pokey sticky, he was a great guide.

                                         We went a different way down which was fun.
               He took me over and through rocks around and trees until we were safely down the hill!

                Finally we played on the swings, then enjoyed the view of a beautiful sunset from the deck.
Two days gone by . . . one to go . . . . more to come!

HOT DATE!

I am enjoying a wonderful weekend with cute little Bracken.  He and I started our weekend out with a date to Fiesta Fun and then we went out to dinner.  He is great company and such a joy to be with!  After playing games he won a Chinese Fan.  At dinner he started fanning strangers.  They responded positively so it encouraged him to keep doing it.  Then he told me, "I love doing service for people and making them happy.  I feel so happy when I do service."  What a cute kid!

The first thing that Bracken chose to do was the go karts.  We rode together and had a really FUN time giggling the whole time, wheeeeeee!

Put on your seat belts, HERE WE GO!

Next on the agenda . . . . . minature golf.  Watch out . . . . . .  here comes Bracken!

More to come . . . . .
