Two Teeenagers!!! CRAZY!

13 years old!!! No WaY!!

On March 2 Braden turned 13 years old. I can hardly believe it. Where has the years gone.

Braden will always be known as BUBBA because he was so chubby when he was little. We called him Chubba Bubba. The name has stuck and now a lot of people know him as Bubba. You would never guess now that he was so big. He is very skinny and growing taller by the day. He is getting ready to pass me up.

Braden has away been a sweet child. He is always giving me hugs and has a very caring heart. He is a hard worker and an even harder player. He loves to play with friends and is always on the run.

Braden is very responsible and has been Paiges main watcher when parents are absent. Braden is so responsible and always make sure she is cared for and on time to activities. He is very mature for his age. I know he will make a great father to his children someday.

We are so proud of Braden and all that he has accomplished in his 13 years on earth. We hope that he has continued success with family, friends, school and church. We will always love you no matter Braden!! Good Luck and Happy Birthday!!

Braden's Year in Review!!

Braden started his 12th year off with a birthday weekend of family. Kyle and his family came and Grandpa and Grandma Clifford and Evans came also. Aunt Jana also came as we celebrated Braden getting the Aaronic Priesthood and his Faith in God award. It was a great weekend. Kyle's family brought Braden a candy-gram full of Braden's favorites, CANDY!!

Braden @ Grand Targhee!!!
We spent spring break in March @ Grand Targhee ski resort with all of our
friends. The kids have so much fun skiing for 3 days
and staying in the motel on the mountain.
We even had Easter egg dying and a hunt. What fun memories.


Braden had a great last year of baseball. He played right feild
and pitched 1 or 2 times. He finished his Majors Giants year coming
in second place in the league. It was a great tournament.


Braden, Jordan and Gerald rode the

Slick Rock trial in Moab on our way to our
Family reunion to Colorado. They all rode
great but in July it's way to HOT.
They almost fainted from lack of water. Not smart
on Dad's part.

Camping in Colorado with the Deckers & Cliffords
at the family reunion. Lot's of fun and swimming, biking, golfing
playing and memories.


On our way back from a GREAT family Reunion
with the Cliffords and Deckers, we stopped at BYU
and toured the campus in hopes
the kids can go there someday.
Grandpa Clifford teaches
there also.

Riding with the BIG BOYS!!
Braden loves to ride motorcycles with his dad and brother. This must have been a good ride by the looks of his face. Braden also loves camping with our camping friends and family in the summer. We are
so lucky to have the opportunity to camp in the great outdoors of Idaho.


Braden started his 7th grade year at Eagle Middle School.
He is a very hard worker and all of his teachers love him.
He is also very good to his crazy sister Paige. He takes great
care of her when mom works.

Braden did a wonderful service project for EMS to raise money to help build schools in Africa. He and his friends raised over $200. in less than 4 hours. He is such a caring person.


Braden is now a Life scout and has been working hard to get to his Eagle. He attended
scout camp in the summer and many other scout service projects
like his brother Jordan's Eagle Scout Project helping the Eagle bike park. Braden
is now experienced and ready for his own project!!
Braden with the Scouts in our Eagle 5th ward @ Bruno Sand Dunes.
They had a great time sledding down the sand dunes.



This Christmas we spent with all the Clifford cousins at Grandma & Grandpa Clifford's house. It was a house full of wild kids of all ages. Actually they were all good and not one was hurt. Braden had fun sleding, skiing and sloveling snow. Also playing the Wii with all the cousins.




Braden stays busy in the winter. He helped Grandpa Clifford shovel LOTS of snow at Christmas time. He also loves to play with the younger cousins and is a great ski buddy for Gerald!!!

Braden was a great helper at the Klondik Derby in January.
They have a great snow campout and do snow races.
Braden and Gerald lucked out with a very warm tent and great weather.

Braden rapped up his 12 year with a great trip in Feburary.
Braden's first time at Disneyland having a blast.
He was loving the rides and did all the crazy rides like the Tower of Terror. Lot's of smiles!!!!
