Indianapolis Trip

Indianapolis Zoo - my first trip...I'm sure they'll be more!

Four Generations: Great-Grandpa Joe R. Barton, Grandma Lori E. Barton-Anderson, Mommy T. Nikki Brendel, & me - Brayden Israel Brendel.
Helen & me:
Me sticking my tongue out at Helen:
Mommy has a pic of her crying when she was a baby and it looks just like this!

Aunt "Ca Ca":

We took a trip up to Indy for a week. Mark flew out to NYC for another study tour, so I opted to stay at my mom's. I tried to spend as much time there as possible. Normally, I go up there and try to see everyone at once - family & friends. Well, needless to say... Brayden & I got a lot of time with Grandma & Grandpa Anderson, Aunt Cassie & Uncle Dick, Sadie Mae, Grandpa & Helen Barton, Great Aunt Darla & Great Uncle Bruce Barton, and we even got to see our cousin Ashley Barton - Bruce & Darla's oldest. We love spending time with Grandma Lori & Grandpa Turk -- we went shopping, played at home, and even went to the Indianapolis Zoo. Brayden absolutely loves animals. He squeals in excitement & laughs uncontrollibly at puppies and kitties, so we thought he would love the zoo. I even got my first bath in a sink & loved it - thanks Grandma Lori! Enjoy pics below&above!

My First Easter

Here are some pics of my first Easter. Mommy forgot to take pics when we went to Koressel Easter at Minus', so she took some when we got home before I changed into my pj's.

Grandma Lori

I don't have many pics on here of my grandma Lori, so thanks to Aunt Cassie "Ca Ca" I can now post a couple. This post is totally dedicated just to her! I love my grandma! I get to see her really soon & I'm excited!

More pics!

Brayden fell asleep in his jumperoo! It was hilarious & a bear to get him out of!

Mark & I went to New Harmony for our 3 yr. weddimg anniversary! We stayed at the New Harmony Inn - which is where we went for our wedding night & Mark proposed in New Harmony State Park --- so it's our special place and only 30 min. away! Plus, our friends opened a restaurant there, so we ate there Friday night when we went for our anniversary. That's the pic of the sign above! The food was amazing! Lora Defries & Eli Haddix are doing a great job! There will be more pics on mommy's blog -- http://godlvsu2.blogspot.com

Brayden in his exersaucer! We trade between jumperoo & exersaucer! Anything to keep him entertained!

What mommy! haven't you seen a handsome man in an exersaucer before?
