Today's Birthday shout out goes to Cory Lynn Braden, or in Sam's words, Pops!
I think this picture is pretty good proof of where Sam gets his black hair and blue eyes.

This is a cute picture of little "scampers" sitting next to his Dad on what I am pretty sure is the same brown couch we had in my house in the late 80's.
Such cute little kids. Jana looks like a little doll.
A nice shot of the boys, pre quinner-binner of course.
I already mentioned the black hair and blue eyes, but it looks like I also found the source for his rugged beard :)
The annual Braden Christmas get together always involves delicious food and entertaining athletic competitions. From what I understand Quinn, Cody, and Sam still have not found a single sport they can beat their Pops at.
This must be where Quinn developed his strong work ethic that he is using now in the mission field.
Sam's told me a few fishing stories about Parkcenter Pond and Silver Creek Plunge, but he never mentioned catching anything this big!
A great Dad, and now, thanks to Jana (and Chuck), a great Grandpa.
We hope you have a wonderful Birthday. We love you!

Yay, happy birthday Dad! I was definitely the best present he got in 1985, but you guys might win for 2009. I love all the pictures; especially the progression of that striped polo shirt from Cody to Sam :). And I think I look like kind of a creepy doll, could I stare down that cake any more intensely?
P.S. I just noticed in that same picture, I'm holding a CARE BEAR. Hahahahaha!
If that first picture weren't from the 80s I would say that Sam has a twinner.
Words can't express how happy I am that you two finally got a blog- and a funny one! Oh I am just so very happy. Thank you thank you thank you.
