Birthday Beach Bash

Somebody may want to remind Braden that his birthday is not for another 3 months. Our little birthday party lover acted like Charley's 1st birthday party was his own! I was too embarassed to take pictures of Braden opening all of his cousin's presents or playing with all of his toys, but I did snap some of him intruding on Charley's space in the baby pool. It seemed like both boys had a blast. Braden is so excited that Charley will be spending this next weekend at our house. Since Charley lives across the street from the beach, the 100 degree Temecula weather we're expecting may be a shock. Don't worry Kristen and John-Paul, we'll be listening to country music while watching NASCAR, so Charley should acclimate to the Inland Empire in no time at all.


Happy 1st Birthday Charley James!
Looks like Braden scared Charley out of his pool.
Charley gave the pool idea one more try, but he didn't look happy after Braden splashed his face.
This 1-year-old can sure give a mean stink-eye!
Time for a little revenge....Charley figured he'd snag Braden's hat!
Quite a reaction after having his first taste of cake! Wish my reaction to dessert was more like that!
Braden, on the other hand, was thrilled to eat cookies, fries, and chips for lunch.
Grandma Judy and Braden caught a few rays before it started getting chilly.
Happy Father's Day to Dad! Braden still calls his Granddad by his first name, Bobby.....we're working on that. He started that about a year ago and he finds it quite funny. Ok, admittedly, so do we!
It's been a while since my mom's children were all together, so we gave in and took one family picture.
One final family picture combination. Whew!
Granddad was trying to convince Braden that smiling for a photo is more fun than playing in the sand. He was partially successful at doing so!
It was a beautiful day to celebrate Father's Day and Charley's birthday at the beach!
Braden wishes his Daddy a very Happy Father's Day with lots of love!
