My Nephew

I am the aunt (aka/stinky cheese beast) to a very cool little guy who sometimes answers to Brayden. Since the day he was born, I have mentored him. All though his parents probably wish at times I wouldn't, it is something I must do. (Big brother + pick on little sister= payback) Brayden is an exceptional student, and has put many of the wonderful things I have taught him to good use. But I fear I have much more to teach him.

On Sunday, my family was over helping us at the house. Brayden and Tanner were hanging out and having a good old time. At one point, my sis-n-law and I were up in Colters room, changing a stinky or something. She noticed the Hershey kisses on his dresser, (my secret stash) and took one. We finished what we were doing, and went back down stairs. A while later, I could hear some strange noises coming from the baby monitor. When I listened closer, I realized that Brayden was in Colter's room playing with some toys. No biggie. A couple of days later, I was in Colter's room picking up and I noticed a candy wrapper on the floor. I thought it was odd, because I was pretty sure my sis-n-law would not throw her wrapper on the floor. I threw it in the trash, and went to Colters drawer to get some clothes out. When I opened the drawer, there was a pile of candy wrappers in there. Ah-ha! I knew who the culprit was. Brayden had decided he wanted some candy and then hid the evidence. Silly boy. I am going to have to teach him to be a little bit more sneaky.


Brayden looks like a minnie me of my brother, and acts like a minnie me of me. I feel sorry for my sis-n-law. :o) I love being around him because I can act like a silly kid again. We have a great time. There is something so special about being an aunt. Its great being able to just let loose, spoil them, (send them home) and almost always be the good guy. I am so glad I get to be Brayden's aunt. He is so special to me! Love you turkey bird!
