A day in the life of Braden

Thomas left on a little mini-vacation disguised as work yesterday. As he was packing, I wanted to send him with a camera. I found my little silver p&s, loaded it with batteries, and noticed there were pictures on the memory card. Apparently Braden's pictures. Since I have nothing fun nor interesting to write about I will take it upon myself to narrate from his point of view.


This is where we go to find cool sea glass and crabs. It's my favorite beach.


I gave the camera to Mama and she took this one of me and my amigos searching for sealife.


Some of my finds.


Keegan's finds.


Dayton freeing the crabs. Run away crabs...ruuunnn aawwwwaayyyyyyyyy



This is my little brother Dayton. He looks like he might be trying to find his belly. When you ask him where his belly is now, he sticks his tongue out. Weird.


That's Moms arm making a grand appearance. Notice the nice Fossil watch. She bought it at the BX, the only American place to shop here. She paid too much for it I am sure. I think I heard Daddy tell her that. The, when we went back to the states earlier this year, it quit working, then it started again, then it quit again. She bought 2 new batteries. Still didn't work.


The Japanese Emina (not to be confused with enema(I, Mama, added that part, not Braden) mini van. This van has a partner that looks just like it, can't remember the name, but everyone we know has one. Except us of course. Mom HAD to have 4 doors. Oh, and the only vans here with 4 doors have 4 doors that open like car doors and you have to fold the middle seat down to get into the back. So, while being greedy with the number of doors, she has caused herself alot of headache having to fold seats up and down and down and up and where was I? Oh, and the fact that each and every time we stop she has to walk around the van and open all 4 doors, because there is generally only a few centimeters between us and the vehicle we are parked next to. Mama says if I hit another car with my door I have to walk everywhere we go for the net 2 years, or ride on top. I will choose to ride on top. I wonder if I will be going faster than birds if I am on top.


Ohh, this is a great angle for me. In Japan Mama lets me ride in the front seat. No airbags and everyone drives so s l o w. Score for me.


This is my Mom's computer. she spends too much time here looking at pictures, reading blogs, reading news. She doesn't let me play my webkinz enough either. We need another one of these.


That's her hands on the keyboard. Probably writing a blog or IMing with Rachael


This is our parking space out front. I took this shot because I am an art genius and totally see the abstract beauty in this particular angle. Mama made it blank and white for me.


This is the garbage man. He is showing his peace sign. Everyone shows a peace sign here when a camera comes out. Weird. Japanese people are so nice. I want to be Japanese when I grow up.


Practicing a headshot for facebook in a few years.


...kitchen floor, garbage can, Keegans ultra skinny leg with (clean?)socks, Daytons magnetic letter 'Z'. Not sure why this one made the cut.


Base housing, ghetto ceiling tiles, 1980's mini blinds. Curtain rods that are warped because me and Dayton tried swinging from the curtains. Note for those interested, it didn't work.


Who is that girl?


My toes, no Cocoks for me.


The neighbor trying to fix Daddys car. Mama broke it while he was in Alaska.


Already explained this. A friendly smile and a peace sign from a complete stranger stopped behind us at a redlight.
