Happy Birthday Jaden and other stuff.

by Brooke on September 24, 2007

Happy Birthday to Jaden! I was going to post a whole bunch of embarrassing pictures from your growing up years, but to be honest, I have no idea where any of them are at the moment, so you are lucky. :) It’s crazy because we have known each other for more than half of our lives now (met when we were about 14 years old). I love you so much!!!!! Have a great day!

Sunday brought a little milestone in our lives: it was Brandon’s first Primary Sacrament Meeting Program. He looked spiffy in a red tie, just like daddy’s. He wanted to wear his Incredibles T-shirt but settled on wearing it underneath his church shirt. :) It brought a bit of a tear to my eyes as we watched him up there with all the big kids, singing the songs. He made sure to wave at us from his spot. When it was his turn to give his “talk”, he just walked right on up there and said his part without any hesitation. Proud parental moment!!! Jaden and I wanted to give each other a high-five right there. :) Brandon did awesome. Of course there were the wiggles, the high-fives with the other boys in his class, the playing with the red tie (it was one of those cool zipper ones, so he was zipping it up and down, up and down) and at one point it disappeared….then the musical “stairs” where they kept changing positions because Brandon and his little buddy Sam had to stand next to each other…But overall it was a success!!

I took some pictures before we left for church, really quickly. I curled Annie’s hair for the first time today as well, and couldn’t believe that she sat there while I did it. They look so grown up, don’t they!!! Love them. Annie cooperated a bit more than Brandon, so there are more of her.


This one of the both of them is one of my favorites!!!! It was just a quick shot, too.


Have a happy Monday! That is all for now. :)

Happy B-day Jaden! You look so old in those pictures! Brooke, I can’t get over how much Annie looks like you as a child. Those pictures are adorable. I love the one of her biting her lip…so cute! Glad the program went well.

Happy birthday, Jaden! We had our primary program yesterday, too. Aren’t they just the best? Brandon looks so grown up in his red tie. And could Annie be any cuter? I love seeing little glimpses of the new house, too. Can’t wait to see more pics!

Oh my gosh your kids are SO cute!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JADEN!!!!! I TOTALLY remember when you two started liking each other. Brooke, you and I had just moved into the area (I think it was 8th grade) and we had PE together and I thought you were the cutest girl ever.

Cute, cute pictures! I love Annie’s little grin. . . and I love watching all the little boys in primary with their zip ties, they keep them entertained long enough to keep them in their seats! Aren’t primary programs the best!
