Brody Boo is 2

My little guy is 2 years old!

WHAT??? How did that happen.

He is a joy in everyway possible and we celebrated him all day yesterday. He woke up to the house decorated and opened presents, then we had pancakes (his favorite) and played with all his new toys. Then we took him to Farm Country at Thanksgiving Point and played for hours. :) He loves it down there, his very favorite is riding the ponies!!! Of course I didn't get any pictures of that. oops! Having too much fun playing. Then we got ice cream cones at the Soda Fountain. Yummy! We had such a fun day. I seriously can't believe how much he has grown and how smart he is getting, 2 is going to be a fun age!

Brody's Birthday Party

We celebrated with all the family last Sunday for Brody's 2nd Birthday. Woody from Toy Story is his favorite, so we did a western themed Woody Party for our little Buckaroo.

We had it at Draper Park so that all the kids could play on the swings and playgrounds. Brody got so many wonderful gifts, he has been playing with them all week long and loves them.

Thanks to everyone who came!

Zoo Days

Last week we got to spend the day at the Zoo. My kids loved all the animals and seeing their cousins. Brody's favorite animal is the 'phants' (elephants) and mine is the Giraffe. So we made sure to see them and spend some time saying hi to them. I haven't seen the bird show since I was little so we went and it was AWESOME! Brody and Brooklyn were very entertained and we almost got hit by birds a few times. It was a great day! I can't wait to go again.

Brody of course has to play with everything,

he can't walk by something without touching it and seeing how it works.

My darling babies!

Darling little Girls!

Remember that I have to always fight with Brody to get a picture with him.

All the kids LOVE the water ball in the front of the zoo.

Miss Brooklyn is crawling all over the place. She has been army crawling for the past month, but finally got the real crawling down about a week ago. She is speedy too, I really have to watch her close, she gets over by the stairs in a matter of seconds. Way to go big girl!

Summer fun!

We went Camping up at Soldier Creek over the weekend. We use to go up there with our Grandpa alot when we were young and go fishing. So we decided to take our kiddos camping and fishing too. We had such a fun time together eating yummy food and especially loving our new invention of smores, a reeses instead of a piece of chocolate. It's pretty much delicious!!!

Slacker....

I really have been the worst blogger lately. Every day I want to get on and post all about the fun we have been having this summer, but having 2 little kids makes it a bit hard to do anything...much less get on the computer.

Brody is talking up a storm, he repeats everything we say which is so cute and a little scary, I guess that means I need to watch what I say. :) He wants to be outside all day long and doesn't seem to mind that it is blazing hot. He loves swimming so much and has been cruizing around the pool all summer with his lime green floaties on. Such a big boy! His is obsessed with police cars and fire trucks which he calls "we we cutch".


Brooklyn is jibber jabbering, she repeats "da da da" all day. She just starting sitting up like a big girl on Wednesday, she is so proud of herself and squeels with delight. She gets herself up on her hands and knees and rocks. What a big girl she is getting. She loves to eat peas and sweet potatoes and hates rice cereal, even if I mix in her favorites. So funny!

6 months

Our girl is 6 months old today.

She is rolling over and trying to figure out how to crawl, she wants to sooo bad, when she see's a toy in front of her she wiggles with all her might to move forward. Soon enough she will master it and be all over the place. I can't believe that my baby is so big.

She is the happiest baby I have ever known, when she wakes up in the morning, I go in to get her and peak my head over the crib she screams and smiles so big it makes me start laughing. All day long she giggles and smiles. She is thrilled to be around her brother.

Baby girl we LOVE you to pieces!!!!!!
