Brady's Dedication

Ryan and I decided it was time to dedicatedBrady, which is basically, standing in front of the church and promise to train him in the way he should go and for the church's prayer to help us as parents to do that and to pray for Brady! We we're supposed to do it on Father's Day but I pastor was a little under the weather and instead of proceeding without him we decided to wait until the next Sunday which acaually turned out great b/c Ryan's fam was in town for the anniversary party the day before!

Ryan and I realize what a blessing Brady is to us and only hope that he will someday grow to be a Godly Man!

Brady was a hoot while we were up there, he tried to honk Ryan's nose and then when Brother Ken told Ryan if he grew up to be anything like him he would be a good man, Brady said something, Brother Ken said it was an Amen!

Brady received a certificate and a little bible, which you can see in the pictures he loved!

First Swim Lesson

I signed Brady up for a 2 wk swim lesson class at a pool not even 5 min from the house. This was are very first day, he just loves the water, and the instuctor was very impressed and commented what a good baby he was! I'm having trouble uploading the video, I'll try again soon!

When we got home later that day, I heard Brady talking and found him on the couch with one of my books, he really sounded like he was reading, what a big boy!

Brady has been attached too Ryan even more, after being gone from him a week!

Ready Set Go

Again, out of order, sorry! Brady started saying go and later started saying what sounds like ready set go, he always does it whiling hold a ball behind his head right before he throws something, and then after he says it, he throws the ball!

Garyn's Graduation Party

My of my favorite kids, Garyn, had a graduation party on the 24th, I know, this is out of order too. Garyn also went to our church for a little while and formed a special relationship with Ryan and, and this year I was privileged enough to have his precious sister Gretchen!
