Happy Birthday Bray-Bray! Brayden is now officially in the "double-digits", with his 10th birthday today. And, contrary to popular Phillips myth, he did not turn into a girl. Hahah. Brayden is definitely all boy. He likes sports and active adventure-type things like mountain biking. Grandpa Tutu got to go on a weekend trip in Zion National Park with Brayden and his Dad camping out in the wild and doing extreme mountain biking. They had lots of fun.
Mom and Dad were happy to be involved with Brayden's baptism 2 years ago.
Like his Dad, Brayden is very interested in scientific stuff--like germs, bugs, blood, dinosaurs and especially rocks. He has a big collection of rocks on display at his Dad's office. He has also started to collect lots of different knives too. He is doing great in scouts and will probably beat his Dad to the eagle rank.
Did I mention that Brayden has awesome hair? I tease him about being "Justin Beiber".
He likes Laser Tag and go carts and he was a master of video games when Mom and I got the chance to take him to Mulligans Theme Park a few months ago. Mom and I were very impressed at how well Brayden interacted with the server at Chili's and all of the people at Mulligans. He and I had to wait in a very long line to play laser tag, and he was so patient I couldn't believe it! He was also very patient sitting through his sisters 3 hour long dance recital--with no complaints!
Here he is demonstrating his excellent coordination. A while ago when we were visiting Temecula, we got a chance to watch Brayden play with his basketball team, which was very fun. He did good, and he really hustled up and down the court until his cheeks were red. Way to go Brayden!
Brayden is also very gracious, he always says "thank you" right away when he is given something, which is a very nice quality to have. He is very appreciative and really has the best manners.
Like his sisters, Brayden is growing up to be quite good-looking! Luckily, he still thinks girls are "gross", so we don't have to worry about that for awhile. :)
Brayden is an excellent reader, and he is a big fan of Harry Potter. He told me that his birthday wish would be to go visit the new "Harry Potter" ride at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. (I'm sure your Aunt Jennifer and Uncle J.J. would love to take you).
We love you Brayden and we hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Bray Bray! Grandpa and Grandma TuTu think you are great! HOpe your birthday. Thank you to Natalee for doing a perfect blog post!
Jennifer and I are all about hitting the streets of Hogsmeade and knocking back some butter beers with Brayden. I think we'd all do quite well in Ravenclaw, but something tells me Brayden is meant for Gryffindor.
