A Bit About The Toads

Meet the Toads
Buba, T.J., and Baby Kye

Braydon (or Buba) is the oldest. He turned 5 in October. He is to say the least hell on wheels! From the day he was born he has been going 1,000 miles per hour and not looking back. He is so smart and fun to do things with. He is starting to read, tell time, and count money. Pretty smart for only being in preschool. His favorite thing in the world are super heroes. You name the super hero and he can tell you the power they have and the enemies they defeat. Braydon loves to also play the PSP, his computer, and the leapfrog. His favorite game is, you guessed it, spider man. He also loves to go fishing with his dad. Braydon got a fishing pole for his birthday. Of course it is spider man!!! On a recent trip to the pond he told his dad he was trying to be patient and catch a fish. For Braydon this is a huge undertaking. So dad let him fish just a bit longer than dad wanted to be there. Braydon is a wonderful big brother, and there are so many times that I look at him and know why he was chosen to come to our family first. He has such a kind heart and a willingness to teach his little brothers all he knows.

Trey (or T.J. as we call him) is second. He is in those terrible twos. And by terrible I mean horrible, awful, and downright nasty twos!!! He is starting to know his colors, letters, and he can count to 12 by himself. There for a while I was wondering if he was even listening to me, and one day he just had it. T.J. loves to be outside on his bike, in the sand box, and running around. Some of his obsessions are cars, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, and tractors. All of which involve keys. So lock your doors and hide the keys because he will find them and he does know how they work!!! One of his favorite things to do is mow the lawn with dad. He sits on the tractor and just goes and goes and goes. T.J. also loves to sing. He knows all the words to the Bee song, the alphabet song, the Turtle song, the fish song, the monkey song, the alligator song, the duck song, the snowman song, and the popcorn song. T.J. also loves to fish. He too has his own pole that he loves to carry around with him. He asks dad every weekend if he can go to the pond and fish. He has a very kind heart and loves his brothers so much.

Kye (or baby Kye in our house) is the newest addition. He was born in June. He is the best baby anyone could ask for. He is so much fun to have. He giggles and laughs all the time. He is starting to rock and roll a bit, and soon will be all over and just one of the boys. One of our favorite time during the day is tummy time. He is getting so good at laying on his tummy. He gets to look around and see us all from a different point of view. Kye has a really good grip too. He loves to reach out for things and grab on. One of his favorite things to grab is his blanket. It always ends up in his mouth. No matter if it is far and out of reach, he can always manage to get a hold of it. He just loves the feel of the fabric in his mouth. Kye has the sweetest smile. It just melts any ones heart. He loves his brothers so much. He giggles and laughs every time they walk into the room.
