Happy Birthday Brayden!!

Brayden turned 5! It is amazing how fast time flies. He has been counting down the days until his brithday for a long time now. He had a Birthday Party on Saturday with all of his friends and family. We rented a Jumper and had a Storm Trooper come to visit. He thought that Storm Trooper was the coolest thing. Even after his party he knew he wasn't officially 5 yet until the 21st. It was the cutest thing, at 3:00 in the morning on the 21st I get woke up with Brayden tapping me on the shoulder.
Brayden: Mom, mom, am I 5 yet?
Mom: No Brayden you need to go back to sleep you aren't 5 until 6:00.
Brayden: Okay goodnight (and ran back into his room and went to sleep)

He didn't wake up again until 7:00 and when he did he asked dad if he was 5 yet and Nick said yes you are now officially 5. So Brayden stands up, stretches looks down (as if to check his hieght) and says yep I guess I am. So fun!!

SWAT TRAINING 2009

Nick has been extremely busy for about a year now, planning a training for the SWAT team. Finally the day came and everything went well. The SWAT team traveled to Boise (Gowen Field) to play (I mean train) cops and robers. They shot fake bad guys, invaded houses, and rode in a helicopter. Here are some pictures of the grand adventure.
