Tattoos. . .

We did tattoos today and Brady wanted to put them everywhere, so we did! He now has tattoos on his hands, arms, face and stomach, very cute if you ask me. He is growing up so fast it seems hard to believe that he is already 2 1/2!

Any nice weather that we get we love to be outside. Brady's favorite place this year seems to be the playground. We don't have a playground in our neighborhood but there is one in the neighborhood next to us, just a short walk away. So it works out nicely for both of us, I get to walk/run to the playground, we play and then we walk/run home. . . exercise and play all together. . . great!

Happy Easter

Easter was great, busy but good. We got to spend time with Josh's family and my family and Brady loved it all. He was busy preparing for the easter bunny and hunting eggs ALL day on sunday (he got to do 3 egg hunts on sunday alone!) Here are some pics from the festivities. . .

We made cookies and brownies to take with us, the balloon in the picture above is tied to his waist, he wanted to tie it to him so he wouldn't have to hold it. He loved licking the spatula from the brownie bowl.

We colored eggs with Grammy and Stie, Brady kept sticking his hands in the dye to get the eggs so he had "monster" hands. They were black for 2 days!

The easter bunny came to our house and hid eggs and a basket. Brady liked hunting for them and then he thought it was really great becuase he got to eat some of his candy for breakfast, he even got to open the chocolate bunny and eat some!

Our first stop of the day was at Josh's Green Grandma's and Papa Tim's where Brady got to play with his 2nd cousins. It is nice that he has some kids just a couple years older then he is to play with, they are the only cousins he has. He really liked hanging with the big kids, especially when they started beating up on Papa.

Grandma found special eggs for Brady this year, they are real eggs with confetti in them that he got to "crack" on everyone. I believe he has been through roughly 6 dozen of these eggs!

Our second stop of the day was to Grammy's for another egg hunt and dinner with my family. Sarah and "stinky" Scott came down from Lafayette, Stie and Sam were there and we got to hang out and spend some time together. Unlike Josh's side Brady is the only kid for these functions, so he has no one to play with but he is the king of the house with everyone at his beck and call-life doesn't get any better!
The easter bunny brought Brady a Thomas bubble blower that toots as it blows bubbles, he had to try it out. Along with the Silly String that Grammy got him- he loves his silly string-although it is a major mess!

Easter Egg Hunt!

We had a cul-de-sac egg hunt this weekend for the kids of the street. Brady loved it and got very into finding the eggs. The weather was wonderful and just being outside with everyone again made me realize how blessed we are to live on a street where everyone gets along and there are so many kids for Brady to play with and grow up around. On our cul-de-sac alone there are 17 kids not including Brady under the age of 8, with at least 2 more on the way (no not us). Anyways the kids had a great time hunting for the eggs and then everyone migrated to the front of the houses and the kids played, oh how I can't wait for it to be warm all the time! So here are a couple pics from the egg hunt. . .enjoy!The group for the egg hunt, what a cute and wonderful bunch of kids!

"Look at those silly kids playing! Do you want to go play man? Nah do you? Nah why should we play when we can eat our candy!"

Everyone was playing on the playset after the egg hunt, except Brady and Aidan, they were smart and just plopped down on the grass and started digging into their eggs!

Random picture from our picnic today. Brady wanted to eat in his lightning mcqueen chair so we made a table out of the bench and had a "picnic" in the living room!

Things

Check out the outfit. . . Brady picked out his outfit the other day. He wanted to wear his mixer shirt and his star jeans. When the jeans wouldn't stay up he decided that he should wear his suspenders (how smart is he) then to finish the outfit off he felt he needed to wear his Lightning McQueen boots. He was pretty cute!
He thought he needed to wear his suspenders the next day too, eventhough these pants stayed up. He also wanted to wear a hat like papa so he picked out his cute dinosaur hat that GG got him.
He wanted to eat breakfast in his Lightning McQueen chair so we decided to pull the bench out and make a table.

Aunt Sarah got me some wine for my birthday, I had a glass the other night and Brady thought he needed to have some too, so we compromised and he got to drink juice from a wine glass, he thought he was pretty cool!

Josh made me a Chocolate Drizzle cake for my birthday (recipe courtesy of Aunt Stie), the drizzle turned into more of a drop and then Brady thought it needed candles so he put the ones he wanted on the cake.

Ok so we have been busy since returning from Florida, we had Josh's birthday, Brady went to the circus and just been busy. We spent 4 hours outside on Saturday since the weather was wonderful 70 degrees and beautiful, makes us miss Florida and GG and GGpa. So here are a couple pics from our recent adventures.
We made cookies to take to Grammy's tonight, Brady dumped the flour in and missed the bowl.

I wore a hat the other day so Brady thought he needed to wear his hat, he is adorable with it on.

We made a cake for Papa for his birthday. Brady got mad because he wanted to lick the icing off the cake and mommy made him wait until papa got home. Josh got home and started licking the icing so Brady got excited and had to have his turn!

Ok so here is what we have been doing, check it out. . . we have been to get ice cream at the Royal Poop (scoop), gone to the playground, eaten powdered donuts & spaghetti, gone to brunch and the waterpark. . . am I leaving anything out? He has been busy, busy and to prove it he lost it and fell sound asleep at 7:30 tonight! Love you all!

So Brady is a fish at heart just like his mom. . . we had a great time swimming at the pool with Hailey and Aidan. Brady went under at least a hundred times or more! More to come. . .

The Beach!

Ok so here a just a couple pictures from the beach. . .

Playing the harmonica on his bed, he is very good!

Playing on the beach and wearing GG's funny glasses.

Having a picnic on the beach, it was windy but fun!

Worn out from a windy day at the beach, look for more tomorrow!

Happy Valentine's Day & More

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Brady studded it up for his Valentine's Party at school today so I made him take a couple pictures of his cuteness before we left. Brady spent some time this past week and made Valentine's for everyone, however his stupid mom put them in the mailbox the night of 60 mph winds and most of them blew away. We managed to find a few and had some extras so to those who didn't receive a Valentine here is what you would of gotten. . . Happy Valentine's Day!

Can you stand the cuteness? Who wouldn't want to be his Valentine!

We got to play at the Children's Museum the other day with Grammy and Breeze. He loved the house of mirrors and found it hilarious to run through the streamers that were hanging down.

Brady built his first snowman when we had all the snow. He thought it would be great to build the snowman, give him all his features then knock his head off:) Boys will be boys!
