Getting Out

We try to get out lots. It just takes a little longer to get everything together with two! But it is
definitely do-able and super nice for me to get out! We went to Heritage Park with Oma.


PS. This dress was also worn by me as a baby!!

Always room for some ice cream!


A day at Tuscany Water Park with Keith, Jennifer, Jadyn and Cameron.

Brody had fun playing with Jadyn!


A day at the zoo with his favorite buddy and cousin...Hayden!

And we got to see the baby elephant!!

Brody and Sienna

Brody has taken quite a liking to his new little sister! He has been awesome... He is still learning that she is too small to do most things he does. He wants her to sit next to him in the cart at Superstore for example. Mommy is supposed to take her out of the car seat and put her next to him, but he doesn't understand that she can't sit up. Or he gets his shoes after lunch to play outside and wants shoes for Sienna so she can come too. He will also pick up her monitor when she is crying and walk around talking into it like a phone, saying "okay Nenna, it's okay", priceless! He is adorable with her! He loves to give her kisses and hugs and so far has only hit her once...he wanted to know what would happen so tried it out, and quickly looked at Mommy and Daddy knowing it was wrong. He hasn't tried it since, but they are siblings....so it's only a matter of time I suppose! So far so good...I love our little family!!! Time flies though...I can't believe she is almost a month old! It's seems like she was only born a couple of days ago. I guess that's what happens when you have more than one. We really have to stop and make sure we take time to enjoy it now! They will be grown before you know it!

Brody is 18 months old already, and we're expecting baby #2 on June 14....crazy!! Time goes by so fast. So many memories already in the last year and a half...I can't even begin to describe the joy, laughter, fun, love, and trouble this little man has brought into our lives.

Family Get Together


Our monthly family dinner had a little more excitement added this time around, since we had some "outdoor fun". The whole family took part, even my and my belly! We raced around on Scott's quad and pocket bike. the little boys thought it was a blast and the big boys of course had their fun too...

Swimming with Daddy

Brody loves to swim! We signed him up for his first formal lessons after I took him to 'Mom and Baby' Aquasize for a few sessions when I was off work. I started the Starfish program with him, but had to pass the duty over to Daddy since my belly and Brody was getting a little too heavy!! Scott loves his time with his little dude in the pool! Brody has passed this class and will be strating the next level after baby is born. Yay for Brody!!

Day at Oma's


Brody loves his days with Oma! Oma often takes him for the day. They play, sing, laugh and even go swimming sometimes. This particular day Brody was enthralled with Nakita, Oma and Opa's dog. They were having a great time! Brody kept getting her a few pieces of food and feeding her, and then going back to get more.
