Happy Birthday!!!

Last Monday was Brady's 2nd birthday. I am still trying to come to terms with him growing up so fast. Scary. We had a pretty fun day. We had lunch at Brady and Cole's favorite restaurant - yep - McDonalds - gotta love it:) Then went home and had cake and ice cream in the afternoon. Loads of fun.
At the moment Brady's favorite things are playing cars and playing with any kind of ball. He is quite the kicker. It's really cute because he lines up and kicks it just like the football kickers on tv. He kicks it good too.
He also loves to just be outside. He's usually just wandering around in the rocks or playing t-ball with himself, but since Cole got a bike for Xmas and has now passed his scooter onto Brady, he gets to ride around. He really has the hang of it now. He can almost keep up with Cole on his bike. It looks funny for a such a little guy to be riding around himself. If you can't tell yet - he never runs out of energy, which is why I included this picture of Brady and Cole passed out on the couch. Such a rare thing. I had been doing some work in the office and all of a sudden noticed how quiet the boys had gotten. I got up to look for them and to my surprise they were both asleep. That was awesome. I wish they would do it more often:)

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

So I haven't updated my blog in a while - sorry about that - I never seem to find the time to do this extra stuff in the midst of everything else in December.
Anyway - we had a wonderful Christmas! The theme of our Christmas this year ended up being all about bikes. Santa brought Cole & I new bikes and then Tyler and I got a bike trailer for Brady to ride in. Cole was extremely excited and managed to ride all the way to the grocery store for a treat.
Tyler's parents were here, Ashlee & Jeff & Jessie stopped in for a visite, and then Tyler's brother Traci and his 3 kids came down from Utah the day after Christmas. We had lots of fun just hanging out, more shopping, and riding the quads. After getting constant fun and attention from their cousins,Cole & Brady went through withdrawals after they left.
While they were all here the boys went to a Cardinals vs. Rams football game. They had really good seats and Cole & Tyler even got on the jumbo tron camera.
By New Years Eve we were pretty much partied out. I did manage to stay up until midnight watching the ball drop, but didn't do any banging on my pots n pans. I know everyone says this - but I just can't believe another year is over!
I love this time of year because of all the parties, family gatherings, and renewed hope for the coming year, but by now I am so tired of all the football games! Tyler is glued to the tv as we speak watching the Ohio State game. Oh well - gives me a chance to do something else for me.

Santas Comin to Town!

We finally got to go visit Santa yesterday. Cole was very excited to ask Santa for an XGames Bike and to remind him of how good he has been...Brady on the other hand - not so excited, hence mom ended up in the picture. We brought Cole's best friend Dylan and his little brother Carter with us so they all had a really fun time. After visiting Santa we went and played at the park. Gotta love it when you can still play at the park in December!!

Say Cheese!

This week Cole went to Utah with Tyler's parents for a couple of days so Brady has had me all to himself. As you can tell he's having a blast.

Is this not the biggest cheeser you've ever seen?
