Brady's Birthday Party

Brady's birthday party was a hit, a huge hit! Our house was so packed, I made Ryan set up the washer boards so they could play washers! As you can see it was a western theme party! You know how I love taking pictures, so I was trying to think of a fun way to get all the kids pictures and think of a fun party favor, so I painted a cowboy and cowgirl cut outs and Ryan cut them out and it worked perfect, even the grown ups had fun with them!

When everyone first arrived we mingled a little inside and then the kids headed to the new playground and the men headed out front to play washers, while some stayed in and played video games!

Then came presents, there were so many though, we had to stop opening and let Brady eat his cake because he was getting tired quickly and ready for a nap!

We decided to do cake in the garage to help with mess, he wasn't real sure what he thought of the cake but he eventually ate a few bites!

After that we headed back in and I got to open the rest of his present while Brady had a bottle and got ready for his nap! It was so much fun, I honestly was in shock all day that we were actaully celebrated Brady's b-day, he just doesn't seem big enough to be a year already!

Fridge Fun/Cabinet Chaos/Dishwasher Dirt

Brady and his cousin Braeleigh share a common interest, playing in the fridge, which we discovered @ Nana and Grandpa's house. We discovered several weeks ago how entertained Brady is with pulling things out of our bottle self and then trying to put them back, unfortunately the hot sauce is a little heavy, so he gets rather frustrated!

Look @ their hair, they have the exact same hair from the back

Okay, what's next?

I think this should go right here!

He also loves playing in the cabinets & dishwasher

Oh what a mess I can make!

First Whole Milk Bottle/ First Duck Feeding

As Brady's birthday was approaching we decided it was time to start winging him off of formula and onto whole, and March 1st was the first attempt; he didn't even blink when he tasted, so we either fooled him, or he didn't care either way. We were on our way to a park about a mile away to feed the ducks for the first time! Brady really didn't know what to think, he kind of sat back and just observed, and of coursed tried to eat the bread for himself!

Yum...Whole Milk!

"So we'll really get to shoot ducks like this somedaym, daddy?"

This bread is mine!

Brady's A Big Boy!

On Wed. 27th Brady had to get picked early from daycare b/c he had fever, well it happened to the day of my first track meet, so Ryan had to picked him and care for him all night, while I was gone until 9:00, so needless to say, I was very sad not to be home with them! But I did get to stay home the next day with him, which he was fine, just a little needy, so I felt think we were playing hooky! So I decided that we would put Brady's new carseat in, I know it's crazy to think, he's big enough to be sitting in a big boy carseat but he is! And let me just tell you, I love being able to turn around and see his smiling face! I mean if you

All Dolled Up

After showing Brady his new playground, he was a little wound up, so he started playing with another one of his favorite toys, my hand band. The first time he saw one, he just wanted to eat it, but then I made the mistake of showing him what you need with it, so he now runs around putting it on and taking it off his own head, it's the funniest thing ever!

Look guys!

He's showing his daddy!

Brady's New Toy

Ryan had Brady's new Rainbow Playsytem delivered on Wed the 20th and he absolutely loves it. We will enjoy it though alot more when this crazy Texas weather stops! Ryan says ladders are for sissy so he got a ramp on one side and rock wall on the other side. It has a trapeze on one side and a baby swing for now on the other side and then of course a slide. Here's just a few pictures of Brady playing, we got home rather late the night it was put in so we didn't get many pictures b/c it was really past Brady's bedtime!
