Brody post

All about Brody post:)

You know how it goes the second child gets trucked along everywhere everyone else needs to go.  

Well the Little Gym lets Brody have his very own time.

He can try new skills, play with friends, and just explore. 

These pic are from their "Show Week."

Gma came to watch all of Brody's skills.

The friends at the gym sometimes are family!

Hi Alex.

Bubble time

Oh and "it's time to put the _____away"  

Thank you Little gym for teaching them how to clean up.

I just have to say this moment for me was a proud mommy moment.  

I was tearing up watching Brody hold his hand out and be so assertive that he wanted a ribbon too.

Oh and then back to momma's boy.  

One baby step at a time.

It is a good thing I need you just as much as you need me Brody.

Can't wait to see what you accomplish this semester as a beastie!

baby face

I am snuggling on the couch with Brooks right now because he isn't feeling the best.  

Think b (Brody) shared it with him.

I was looking through pics for a post and this one jumped out at me.

Where oh where has that baby face gone?

That wasn't that long ago was it?

Why does this happen?

:(

I guess I will let it happen because he is mine forever!  (right?  hahaha forever!!!!)

This picture was in the same folder marked July. 

It stuck me as funny because below is a picture of Brooks feeding Emery now.

Thanks for the help B.

And finally.......this came from my phone.  Was on there because I probably was afraid I would end up with "soap" on my camera.  Oh what a mess.  Boys will be boys and it only escalades into more.  Check it out.......

Park in Dec

Park day in DECEMBER!?!!!

(ugh my hands!)

I know this weather isn't going to last but it sure was a great breath of fresh air for everyone.

2012

Dear 2012,

We are glad you are here.......fun times ahead this year.

I know there will be ups and downs but as long as we have each other to go through it together with, we will all be just fine.  

Sending lots of warm holiday wishes.

Cheers!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Card photo shoot.......

Joy

to you and your family.

b&w

check out the b&w pics from this morning......

The cutest chubby cheeks ever!

 cousins watching morning cartoons together.

Funny side note:  Brooks got reindeer food at school yesterday.  He thought we should put it on the front steps.  In the bag and all.  hahaha  He checked on it after a few hours.  It had blown around from the wind and he said "mom was Rudolph here?"  So we left it there incase they wanted more.  Love your imagination B.  

(most of the time)

birthday celebrating

Good morning birthday boy.

Brooks woke up to balloons in his room and streamers across his door.

Brooks was also "star of the week" at school.

I dropped off Brody with Gma and spent the morning with B at school.

We where very busy.

I was the sick patient.

At least I had the cutest Dr helping me feel better.

Trains!  Like you couldn't guess.  haha

We had to inspect the cleaning up for our job today.

Finally snack time.

We enjoyed chocolate covered pretzels made by Brooks and Matt.

Then it was time to burn off some real energy!  

This boy does't stop running when outside.

(p.s.  it was pj day too.  i don't normally let him wear those to school)

After a long day dad was finally home and we could open presents.

"Lightning McQueen!!!!!!!!"

(not so sure this was a good gift.....he hasn't put down the iPad all night.  it is a car you drive through a game.)

Happy Birthday Ice Cream Sundaes topped with TONS of choc chips, sprinkles, and choc syrup.

I don't think he believed we where actually going to let him eat that all.

Dig in Big 4 year old!

It was so much fun celebrating with you all day.  You make me so proud to be your mom.  So happy I get you forever.  You are loved more than anyone could know.  Happy 4th Birthday Brooks!

Love, Mom
