1st Snow

Yesterday it finally snowed! We had to stop at Mamo and Papa's house to get a few things and we realized it had snowed a few more inches than at our house. So of course we had to go out and play. We wern't really prepared clothes wise to play in the snow so we used what we had. Brody is wearing Papa's hat. It makes his head look huge! (more than normal)

Santa!

We went to see the Fantasy of Lights a place where you drive around and see a ton of Christmas lights and midway through you can get out and see Santa. Brody did so much better this year. All he ever talks about is Santa and anything else that involves Christmas. This Santa was great and it was nice because he was in a separate room not out in the open like the mall.

He didn't want to sit on Santa's lap but he was good with the reindeer.

A little unsure still, but ok to hold his hand :)

Enjoying some good conversation

Now they are best friends!

This is the closest we got to a smile.

Flashback to last year!

Having fun

We went to a wonderful wedding last Saturday for my step-mom Anne and her new hubby Jeff. Brody was hamming it up for the camera.

He is really starting to love sticking his tongue out, and licking whatever is in reach.

So GQ.

Early Christmas

We went to Delta last weekend to visit Grandma Julie, Uncle Steve, Aunt Jenny, Owen and our newest nephew Carson! We had a lot of fun :)


Somehow the boxes are always more fun than the actual presents!

Playing in Owen's new car.

Static!

Jamie and the new baby Carson. He is such a cutie!!!

Random

Whenever I am in the kitchen cooking or cleaning, Brody goes into the pantry, stands on the tool box and opens and shuts the door. Each time he opens it he says "mama!! chocolate chips and doritos!"


This is probably one of the best shots I have gotten of his ever growing mullet. :) We have been starting to get people telling us to cut his hair, but we just don't want to. Although after looking at this pic for a while I might start considering it.

Halloween part 2

To much of my suprise I was able to get Brody in his Halloween costume on Saturday. He was still feeling a little sick but didn't make too much of a fuss. He didn't want to wear his head piece that much, but we were able to get a few pics which was all I wanted :) He did not want to be put down, so we wern't able to get the full costume. I guess you can't be picky. This picture was taken right after I put the costume on...don't mind the weirdo in the background :) (Nice shorts Nay Nay)

The lion with Troy Polamalu.

Papa got to wear the lion hat pretty much all night.

We went to about 4 houses...Brody did not want to walk, but he did say Trick or Treat very quietly and thank you which was cute. When we got back to the house he wanted me to open all the candy. He wouldn't eat it, he kept giving me a piece and saying "see".

No tricks or treats...

Jamie has been home all week with the flu. We tried our best to keep Brody from getting sick, but Thursday he started not feeling good. So we did not get to go trick or treating :( Saturday night we will try again at Mamo and Papa's and hopefully get some pics of him in his costume.

Birthday fun con't...

Last Saturday we continued with Brody's birthday celebrations. He got to open a gift from us in the morning.



Nice form!




In the afternoon we went to Mamo and Papa's for a family party. He was loving his 2 balloon.



Opening presents
Birthday doughnut! Although we didn't get a great picture of this, he was very happy to get this instead of cake! He was actually more happy to eat it :)

Zonked out after a long day of fun with friends and family....and no nap

Birthday Fun

We started out Sunday with a good breakfast. These days Brody only wants to sit in a regular chair. He has been doing pretty well eating from it, but at times it can get messy. Notice that Brody is having a bit of a bad hair day. I try to wet it down, but it doesn't help.

Playing with his birthday balloons.

Actually smiling for the camera with his new favorite Oscar "the the" Grouch. Too bad he had his beloved binky in :)

Not happy with the birthday cake. Maybe this Saturday the birthday doughnut will make him more excited :)
Brody's cousin Owen was in town and came over to play. They had a great time together.
