{A Sneak Peak!}

They are the best thing that have ever been mine!

A small taste of whats coming!

{I'm A Big Boy Now!}

Brady is a big boy now! We bought him his first 'big boy' bed on Monday night! This is the kids riding his new mattress down the stairs.

there they go!

yeah so the adjustment isnt going so well. Brady is our sensitive child, he really freaks when anything changes in his life...so yeah getting use to a new bed has been challenging for him.

Ryan, annoyed with my picture taking....smile for memories honey! ;)

Lenny thinks this is her new bed, the box Braid's bed came in

Its finished!

Tuesdays are always a bit insane, that's Ryan's day off so we cram just about as much as we can into those 24 hours! This day we made it a priority to have some dedicated family time.

So we though it would be fun to take the kids to freestone Park to ride the train...

Little did I know that they are only open weekends...dang...

Poor Brady fell asleep on the way there!

Alenna and mommy waiting for dad to show up

We saw a mother duck who had 14 babies!

there were ducklings everywhere!

Totally adorable...

 We didn't realize you aren't suppose to feed ducks yeast.

Only seeds and duck feed you get from the store.

learn something new everyday I guess!

Alenna is obsessed with flowers! Everywhere we go she HAS to pick one.

my angel is almost 6 months old! Odd to think when Brady was this age I was already pregnant again!

*****************************

 we love ducks we decided.

***************************

Because the train was closed we played on the play equipment...

for about 5 minutes! Then we decided it was too hot so we went home...

this about sums up how we were feeling...

{While Daddy Slumpers....}

 

Daddy worked a 24 hour shift, in which he got 45 minutes of sleep the entire night which meant....

Mommy took the kids out to keep the house quiet. 

 

We ran errands than ended up at a park by the house.

 

Didn't really keep their attention. Maybe my children have ADHD?

 

Was fun for the half hour it lasted though! (It WAS nap time...)

 

WEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

 

Of course, MY child was the one throwing sand...NICE.

 

Beautiful Shaylin

  **************************

 

Alenna wanted to stay longer, she had a blast!

 

He loved this!!!!

 

They were unsure about the swings, they always are. Must be an acquired taste!

 

It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!!!!

{ HOT tip!}

A friend referred this place to me, it has a TON of cute hair bows and flowers for little girls! I ordered several and LOVE them- they are SO darling!

{The Bergens Play!}

Friday we had a play date! We were in dire need of one!

***************************

How cute are they?? Alenna, Raelyn and Katie

Life Long buddies :)

 

*****************

I LOVE when little girls hold hands...too sweet!

Than we went to see the puppies!

Brady LOVES puppies!

And for lunch....Heaven on Earth: Paradise Bakery!

*********************

Brady's mischievous look....

The best cookies on Earth!...too bad mommy is on a diet.

Thanks for playing Whipples & Merrills!

{Alenna playing at MeMa's...}

{Brady Speaks...}

{This post is about, who else? Brady!}

My little dude...
{Hard at work}
{they love each other!}

Not very much at this point, but here is what he has said or is saying...

{Mama or Dada}
{A-la-la (Alenna)}
{Bye-Bye (accompanied by a chubby wave)}
The other night he pushed Alenna's bedroom door open and crawled all the way to her bed. Once there, he stood against the bed screaming for her to wake up and pay attention to him!
Once caught by mommy, he exited her room by saying, "bye bye A-la-la.."
{First conversation!}
-He will sign "more" when he wants more food or drink-

We have a drinking fountain in this house, Ryan has built a stool for Alenna to stand on and get a drink from so we aren't having to constantly be filling and refilling her cups all day. Well, once Brady discovered that water comes from the drinking fountain, he was all over that one! He will actually crawl up the stool, and stand against the fountain, sucking water from the spout!

Our "little" dude is our future line-backer! And if you've ever eaten a meal with him, you know why I say that!
Braids is 13 1/2 months! Wow!
