Easter Weekend!

We had yet another long weekend.  Brody and I spent all day together Saturday while daddy worked.  We went to 2 soccer games and a baseball game.  Nathan and Baylee did awesome.  Nathan and Baylee both scored 3 goals!  Nathan says he had a tricky hat!  (Hat Trick)  So funny!  Baylee's goalie skills are amazing! 



We left the soccer games to rush to Johnny's baseball game.  We missed his first at bat.  His 2nd at bat was a triple and 3 RBI's!  The boys are really good!  They lost 9-10 in the 8th inning. 


Saturday afternoon we went to Grandma and Grandpa Cothren's.  Brody had his own Easter Egg Hunt and Easter Basket at their house.  The Easter Bunny left balls in Brody's Easter eggs!  We got home around 7:00.  We still had to dye Easter eggs.  Brody did not understand.  We gave him an egg and he threw it.  We gave him another egg and he threw it again! Let's just say that Daddy got to color Easter Eggs this year!  We were cracking up!!!   

Easter Sunday and Papa's Birthday!  We did the family thing.  We got up early so Brody could see what he got from the Easter Bunny.  We did our Easter Egg Hunt!  Brody wanted to play with the eggs.  He would walk over...pick up an egg....walk over and get another egg...then bang the two together!  This was a very long Easter Egg Hunt!!! :)  Brody and I ran down to Mamoo's and Papa's to tell Papa Happy Birthday.  Brody came home to take a nap before we had Easter at my mom's.  We went to Mamoo's and Papa's around 1:00.  We had to wait on Aunt Lisa and Uncle Casey before we could have another Easter Egg Hunt.   After dinner we all went outside and played the longest game of wiffle ball.  We had to run to walmart to buy more wiffle balls!  What a great Easter!!!  We are playing another game this Sunday! 

Sunday night after a very long day.  Brody finally figured out his new slide....sorta! :)

Ready...set...flip!!!

11 Months old!

Night time is my favorite part of the day!  Brody and I always snuggle up on the couch to read books or just snuggle. 

Brody,

Mommy would really like you to stay a baby for a little while longer. Just remember that you can snuggle with mom forever! 

Love,

Mommy!

Thankful Thursday!

I'm thankful for the help we received yesterday putting up the shed.  My mom came up to sit with Brody while my dad, Phillip, John, and I put the shed together.  I only put in the windows.  I mostly picked up all the trash and tree limbs that John cut down!  This is no little shed!  Brody and my mom were playing in the box.  It was really cute.  He would not leave the box for a good hour.  He finally took the step into the grass.  He was gone after that.  He thought he was so big walking all over the back yard! 

Brody had his first taste of fish.  I have to say he loved it.  Brody has had chicken nuggets, cheeseburger, and now his favorite...Fish!  I'm so lucky to have a great eater!!!

Weekend full of fun!!!!



 We had a great weekend.  It was full of things to do but certainly enjoyed the nice weather.  Friday night we just hung out.  Brody didn't take a nap so he went to bed early which means I was able to go to the gym early.  I got up first thing Saturday morning and headed to the gym before going over to Candie's.  Brody and I spent all day at Candie's while she took pictures for Easter.  Daddy came over around 1:00.  He stayed with us until Kurt got home around 3:30.



 We got Brody home and put him down for a nap which he desperately needed.   Phillip and I had to get ready because we had plans to go to dinner and bowling.  We had dinner at Carmen's with the Mom, Dad, Luke, Sarah, Judd, and Becky.  Dinner was delicious.  Bowling didn't start until 10:00 so we had time to kill.  Everyone came back to our house where we sat on the back deck!  Bowling was so fun!  I can't wait to do that again!  Sunday morning Brody and I got up super early.  We had breakfast the with family then headed down to the River Market.  The weather was beautiful Sunday morning.  Daddy didn't come with us.  He stayed home so he could get started with the yard work.  He had plenty to do!  The sun was out and it was really heating up.  The day ended with a nice long walk.  Daddy pushed Brody in his car while I took Shelby on the leash.  Brody has been working on his top two teeth for a week now.  He is biting everything.  He figured out that he can bite his car.  I'm glad I had my phone so I could get the picture!  All and all we had a wonderful weekend.

Such a big boy!

Brody looks so big in his car seat.  I love how he will fall asleep while he's in the car.  It doesn't matter weather you drive 5 hours or 5 minutes...Brody will fall asleep as soon as he gets in the car.

Thankful Thursday

Brody and I are finally thankful for long sleeves and shorts weather!  Today was the perfect day for this.  I'm also thankful this week for be able to stay home with Brody 2 days!  We had a great time just hanging out the two of us.  He is getting so big and becoming quite the individual!  Stubborn!!!!! :)  I wouldn't ask for him any other way!  Hopefully he will let me cuddle every once in a while!  Love you!!!!!

Kisses

I'm not sure how I forgot....

Saturday night we hung out at the Peck's.  We all played outside for a couple of hours.  The girls were jumping on the trampoline.  Phillip even got up there acting like he was 12 again.  Then the boys took the kids and Sampson for a walk while Becky and I spent time on the deck doing what we do best!  We all came inside to color and hang out.  Brody was acting crazy.  It's an hour past his bed time and he is running all over the house.  Bennett and Brody have this special relationship.  Brody was kissing her all over.  Kisses after kisses.  We were all cracking up.  I couldn't believe he was acting like that.  I have never seen him do this. 

Becky sent me a text this morning.  She said that Bennett's teacher asks her every Monday...What was your favorite thing about this weekend.  She said Bennett said...The millions kisses she got from Brody! 

Love it!!!! 

Busy busy busy!!!

Our weekend stated out by hanging out at Mimi's Friday night.  We stated outside as long as we could.  All the kids love playing in yard. 

Saturday morning we got up and went to the City Market.   This was the first weekend for the City Market and you couldn't as for a better day so we took advantage.  We left the house at 8:30 and got home at 4:30.  We left the City Market and went to lunch.  D' Bronx gives the kids dough instead of crayons.  I have to say we all had fun playing with the dough.  Mamoo was putting the dough on everyone's head.  The kids loved it!  Brody finally warmed up to the idea of playing with his food! 

After lunch we hit the mall to kill time.  It was the first day for the Easter Bunny...NO LINES....We took advantage of it!  Brody was much better with the Easter Bunny then Santa!  Look close...B is holding the Easter Bunny's hand! :)

B after a very long long weekend!
