Braden is 3!!!

Braden turned 3 on September 18th. Needless to say we threw quite a party; well actually two parties. A family party and a friends party. At the friends party a "Big" firetruck actually came to the house.

Here's a picture of some of Braden's friends and family who made it in time to see the truck:

Firetruck Cake!

Opening gifts with Addy.

Firehats for everyone.

A firetruck pinata.




Coleman enjoyed the party.

Hugs for Addy and Sophia.
Grandpa Dean came for the party: and installed a new dishwasher and garbage disposal...

The BLSL

We didn't let a little Tropical Storm stop us from having our inaugural practice of the "BLSL" the Bryce Lee Soccer League for Toddlers. Yes we started our own little league to avoid the crazy cost of soccer for 2-3 year olds, some might call us a little cheap ... others ingenious. Logos, tshirts to follow...
Due to the weather we had to transform our living room into an indoor soccer field. So for the first practice we were the --- the BL"I"SL; the Bryce Lee Indoor Soccer League. Hopefully next week the weather will cooperate because with the practice indoors the lure of the playroom was too great for many of our "players".
Coach Bryce started them off with some stretching:

Our complete roster of 17 kids was not able to make it out in the storm but we did have quite a line-up.


Cousin Collin




oh how we love cousin collin!

Busch Gardens pics on the Ritners Blog

Kristyn is the only one who remembers to bring her camera to Busch Gardens, so here are some pictures of Braden on their blog:

After many complaints about my lack of updating the blog, here are some random pictures from the past couple of weeks.

Braden continues to be obsessed with "Baby Coleman." He always wants to hold him, hug him, see him. Hence, here are some of the many pictures of the brothers Lee.






Braden and Coleman were excited that their cousin Rachel came to vistit while she checked out W&M. Sophia and Braden at the Chick Fil A playplace.

Coleman loves his "Lion"... there is no name for the Lion... Braden named him simply "Lion"


Here is a Rozy picture in case you think we have forgotten about our sweet dog.
