Fourth of July 2011

We had such a great fourth of July this year! Mandy and Stella joined us for the parade in the morning, then we headed over to the Orton's for some brunch! After we just played around in the yard for a bit, it was such a nice overcast day it was perfect! Then we all took some much needed naps! Later on we ventured out and bought some couches! So excited for those to show up! We went to Red Robin for dinner and then watched some fireworks! Brody was so good during it all too! I didn't want the day to end! SO fun! Definitely my favorite Holiday ever! Besides my birthday of course...;) That post is coming up next! Hope everyone else had a great 4th!

Brody!

Wanted to put up some of my favorite pics of Brody over the last few months! He has grown so much it is crazy! We're still working on the talking thing, but really he knows so much! He is one smart kid! And we love him so much!!   

Loves his water

Awww

 Classic!

Bieber Fever! 

 The only pic I took on Easter where you can see his whole outfit!

 Really focused on that phone

 Peekabo

Such luscious lips!

 Crazy kid! He is into putting things on his head right now! Wish I could get a pic of all of them!

This is one of my favorites! 

CALI!!

This is so old! I'm so behind! But I had to put up my trip to Cali in February! I had such a great time and it was much needed! So thankful to Andy and Melissa for letting me and Brody come and hang out for a few days! We went to the LA Clipper game, went to a park, Santa Monica Pier and even Disneyland!! I loved every minute of being there! Not to mention the beautiful weather! Andy bbq'd us some great chicken cabobs! So good! Brody had so much fun with Clark too! Clark loved the ipad and played with it for a good part of the time I was there! I didn't really get any pics of Grace because she was in school while I was there! Once again here are some collages of my trip! I know it has been way too long, but hopefully people are still looking at my blog wondering what is up! Well hopefully this weekend I will be officially caught up! But we'll see how it goes...at least I am finally getting California up! Yay! So fun! 

Just having fun!

Disneyland!

Brodys 1st Birthday

Brody turned one on October 8th, 2010 
22.3lbs & 31in with a 18.9in head

We had such a great time at Brodys birthday party! He didn't get into the cake like I thought he would, but he LOVED the frosting! We had just a little party, ate some cake and ice cream and opened presents, then of course played with them! I just can't believe he is so old already! He is the funniest kid ever! He is so curious, has to know how everything works. He sees you use a set of keys to open a door and he'll grab them and try to reach the door to use them like you did! He's like that with everything! It's amazing! He just amazes me everyday! He loves to run and be outside! I've never seen a 14 month old want to be outside as much as he does! We got him a fourwheeler for his birthday and of course he loves driving it! He even stands up while driving it like his dad does, so funny! He likes to copy everything you do except for talking. He just grunts and points to get what he wants. When he is playing he will make other noises, or sometimes while music is on he sounds like he is trying to sing with the music. He also loves to dance! Anytime he hears music start he starts moving with the music. He also loves to watch elmo on the iPad. He dances to those songs too! Oh we just love him so much! Who knew you could have so much love for one little person! I'm sure there is much more but I have a lot more to blog so I will end for now!

10 months

So I have never posted my summer pics! I honestly may never get to it! Now that I am back at work, getting things done at home are almost impossible! This little boy takes all my time as soon as I get home! He goes to bed earlyish, but by the time that happens I am wiped out! This little boy is the love of my life! He is so adorable! He is mostly the happiest kid! And quite the stud might I add! He is so so close to walking! I think he is scared of it though! As soon as he takes a few steps he quickly looks for something to cling onto! I don't know what else is new with him! He is getting smarter though, he copies a lot of things you'll do! He has mastered his wave finally.  He now has 3 teeth.  He will show you he is a big boy.  Knows where his ears are, working on the nose right now.  He is always pointing to the ceiling and talking to it! He has less than 2 months till he is off formula! Yay!!! He is definitely my favorite little kid ever! He sleeps so nicely during the night, and I can finally tell he knows who I am! I have been a little worried about that since he doesn't see me very much! I could keep talking about this kid forever! But I'll wait until the next post to talk more! Probably for his year one! Can't believe how fast that is approaching! So excited!

9 Months

20.19lbs & 30" tall

I can't believe Brody is already 9 months old! So crazy! He has accomplished so much lately! He is crawling, has 1 and 1/2 teeth, walks around on furniture, goes up the stairs, falls down the stairs, eats big boy food, got a new car seat! What a big boy! We love him so much! I have so many pics to post of our summer and I will be doing that shortly! We have had a blast being together these last few weeks! They are quickly coming to an end...:( But I thought I should at least put some sort of update real quick! We sure do love this kid!
