The pool water is too hot!  The fountains are the perfect place to stay cool!  Can you see Mimi in the middle with Brookie and B? :)

"I love you Brody"

Brody's vocabulary has really picked up.  It's funny how Brody will try to repeat everything.  One of Brody's favorite toys right now is Scout.  It makes me laugh to see Brody with Scout.  Scout will talk and Brody will talk back.  He also has an obsession with the couch.  Brody wants to be on the couch when he's reading a book, playing with his car, or spending quality time with Mommy and Daddy.  I think he loves the couch because he can crawl up there all by himself.  Brody is such a big boy! 

Busy weekend at the Cothren House!!!

 Friday night we had Adley's Birthday party.  We had a great time.  The kids were playing in the pool and the slide.  Kelli was blowing bubbles for Brody.  Brody loves bubbles!!  He was trying to hard to blow the bubbles.  He puckers up those lips but nothing comes out!!! 

 Look at those lips!!

Thankful Thursday!

There are so many things going on in this world that really makes me appreciate what I have.  I'm thankful everyday for the amazing people in my life.  Most importantly I'm thankful for my little family of three.  Last night I was going through all of Brody's baby clothes.  I was holding the clothes up to Brody telling him that he used to wear these clothes when he was a baby.  I can close my eyes and feel that same feeling as I did September 9th.  I'm so thankful of where we are today and what we've overcome in the last few years.  I can't imagine our life without Brody.

4th of July Weekend!

 4th of July backwards!!!  Brody is sound asleep while we drive to Parkville for the fireworks display.  I'm so glad he decided to wake up when we got there! 

 Brody and Broolynn playing in the water.  My boy definitely loves the water! 

 Brody asking daddy to get in the water with him! :)

We had a wonderful long weekend.  Brody, Daddy, and I got to spend the entire weekend together!  This is something we typically don't do.  There's always something going on.  Sunday we vegged out all day until 5:00.  We went the Dave Ramsey's house with the Peck's!  We had a great time.   All the kids jumped in the bounce house and shot off fireworks.  Brody did one sparkler.  Brody spent most of his time in the back of the truck because he was all over the place.  He didn't care about the fireworks.  He wanted to be in the middle of everything.   It was time for the fireworks show start so we grabbed our blankets to get a spot right in front.  Let me tell you sometimes closer isn't always the best seat in the house.  I was holding Brody on my lap because he was so tired and all he wanted to do was lay down.  I guess I didn't realize how bad the smoke was until Brody coughed and threw up all over my arm.   I couldn't believe I never thought about the smoke.  Brody and I walked far away from the fireworks to watch the rest of the show.  The show was amazing.  Brody and I had the best seat in the house.  (In Judd and Becky's Car!!! :) )  Becky and Brooklyn met us at the car because Becky got hit on top of the head with debris.  I'm telling you the fireworks seemed so close you could reach out and touch them! 

 Brody was playing with Becky's Mom.  He thought she was so funny!  :)  As you can see Brody is right in front of Judd because he was sitting on Judd's lap as always!  I'm not sure why he loves him so much!!

Saturday night we spent at Mimi's.  Brody, Bo, and Brooklynn all played great!  There were taking turns standing on the plastic box.  As you can see Brody was being so nice to Bo!!! 

Black Beans!!!!

Last night was one of the very few nights we stayed home.  The temperature was just too hot to go out.  All and all it was a great night because we got to spend the entire time with Brody.  He was in rare form yesterday.  He was all over the house.  Daddy went to get dinner because it was way to hot to cook!  We got Salsa Grill.  Brody ate black beans and he was rather messy.  He was definitely showing off.  He was so messy that we had to go straight to the bath tub after dinner!
