We went to Benihanas for Josh and my birthdays this it last weekend. It is one of my all time favorite places to eat, and Brady loved it too! He got a kick out of watching the chef cook our dinner at the table. Thanks to the family for joining us. . . it was great!
He had a great time running in the water and getting wet. Then we wrapped up in a towel and dug in the sand! So much fun. . . we are going back tomorrow!
Having a great time in Florida. . . the weather is a little chilly but warmer than home! We just had to go to the beach yesterday (Brady was dying to go). We got there he walked out onto the beach and decided it was time to go. . . too cold! We braved the chill a little last night to play on the playground before dinner. Today it was to the park to dig and play, while Papa and Gpa played golf. He had a great time digging and playing on the slides! The weather is still chilly but we are enjoying ourselves. Tomorrow it is off to the zoo, then the beach later this week when it warms up!
Just a little something to brighten your day Aunt YaYa. Brady thinks he is hilarious in this video!
Ok so I won't post the telltale shot that we are having a girl, but I thought I would post a couple pictures from today. I can't believe we are already half way through and in a few short months we will get to meet our little girl. Now let the shopping begin, I just can't bring myself to put a little girl in boy clothes!
Shaving cream and trucks makes for a great time. He was a little timid at first and then he realized he could get as messy as possible. . . so much fun!
A box, paper, and some paint makes for some not so messy fun! He loved rolling the trucks and balls in the paint. Then he wanted to paint with his feet so we stripped down and jumped in. Following all the messy activities is "cleaning up" in the sink, one of Brady's most favorite things to do!
Oh yes we also went to a pottery place the other day with Grammy and made a mosaic lizard and painted a race car piggy bank. He is in love with the piggy bank, all we do now is take the money out and put the money in!
The prize of Christmas. . . the power wheel Lightning McQueen that he can drive. This puts the total number of power wheel vehicles that he owns to 4! That is more than the number of cars that Josh and I both will own in our lifetime probably! The best part is they have all been free-thanks to Grandma and her boss who has grandchildren that are no longer using them!
Like father like son. . . it doesn't matter really what is on the tv, both Brady and Josh will just zone out and stare. I believe this was Brady's Curious George movie that Grammy got him. Notice the robe. . . we call him Lil Hef.
The one and only best present for kids and adults alike. . . a remote controlled bulldozer that is the loudest toy we own and gets played with the most!
Making Auntie Annes pretzels with Grammy. He had a wonderful time kneading the dough, rolling it out and cutting it. The he made his very own little pretzels. They turned out really well and were super tasty!
Oh the joys of the season! We have had a wonderful Christmas season thus far. We visited Christmas at the Zoo (on probably the coldest day yet), the Children's Museum, built a snowman and had Christmas in Lafayette with my family. Busy, busy, busy but fun.
We did Christmas in Lafayette with my family on Saturday. Brady got alot of wonderful presents and did such a good job of waiting to open them until it was time. Stie got him Candy Land and he loves playing (it is the first game that he will actually sit down and play). Yaya got him a chainsaw and tool set (he loves to chase people with the chainsaw. . .fun!) and Grammy got him several wonderful car related toys (most likely his favorites)!
We had our first "big" snow of the year and Brady loves, loves, loves playing in it! He went out with Papa just to help shovel and ended up building a snowman too. It has snowed 2 times since then and he has had to go out and play both times!
Christmas at the Zoo was pretty fun. We had to choose probably the coldest night of the season so far but we had fun. Brady liked all the lights and the train ride but was slightly disappointed that he wouldn't see the animals. We bundled up from head to toe and braved the cold.
