Bounce House

We went to Kingdom of Bounce with Brody's friend Emmy. It was soo much fun!!! We were worn out after being there for 2 hours. It was hard to get good pics since they were moving the whole time :)
Emmy would climb up first then wait for Brody at the top. She would say "come on Brody!!"

Sliding down on his belly.

Socks on!

We haven't done much lately so I don't have any pictures to post. I do have a cute story about what Brody is doing these days. About a week ago, he was running around our house with Mamo having a great time when he tripped (probably on nothing) and skinned 2 of his toes on the same foot pretty bad. After he was "ok" he kept looking at his toes, and saying "boo boo, hurts" then would start crying agian. I told him that we would put socks on and it would make it all better. Well he really took this to heart. I think he has had his socks off for about 5 minutes total this past week. Any time we take them off, he gets really upset and starts talking about his boo boo and how it hurts. Now, he even takes a bath in his socks! It's pretty funny :) He will let Jamie take them off for a minute to wash his feet only becuase Jamie tells him that we will put new socks on when he is done with the bath. What is even more funny to me is that before all of this he never wanted his socks on. As soon as we would get home the first thing he would say is shoes and socks off! Should be interesting as to what he does when his boo boo is all better.

It takes a village...

Brody got his first hair cut! The mullet was growing nicely, but at uneven speeds. The hair behind his ears was a lot longer than the hair in the middle. So much longer that I could put his hair in little pigtails (which I only did once, just to see how funny it would be). I was told not to post those pics :) My mom used to cut hair, so we just sat him on a stool and did it. I don't even think he realized what was going on except that everyone was paying a lot of attention to him which he is used to at Mamo and Papa's house.

The end result. Not much hair was taken off but at least its even around the back. To us, it makes him look older :(

More Snow!

We got about 4 inches of snow today so when Jamie got home from work we decided to go out and play! We lasted about 15mintues, but it was a lot of fun. Brody looked liked the little brother from Christmas story walking around in his coat.


Notice the pink mittens! Many thanks to our neighbor who let us borrow them (they have 2 girls) because I somehow forgot to buy Brody any for the season.

Christmas in Cleveland

After Christmas we headed up to Cleveland to visit with Jamie's dad, step mom and 2 brothers who were coming in from Washington. His sister and her family were there along with a few aunts, uncles and cousins we hadn't seen in a ver long time. It was a full house but we had a lot of fun. Rockband was a huge hit, especially with Brody and Owen.

Born to be wild :)We took a trip to the Natural History Museum, and Brody loved seeing all of the animals. They also had a huge dinosaur exhibit and Jeremy Brody's uncle taught him how to say Triceratops!Hanging out with Uncle Johnny.

Checkin out the wolves with Uncle Jeremy.

This is what happens when a Michigan fan makes a bet with an Ohio State fan. You look good in scarlet and gray Far Far!!!

Hanging out with Far Far (what Brody calls Jamies dad) and Uncle Johnny.

Christmas Morning Con't

The Christmas festivities continued on to Mamo and Papa's house where we ate a wonderful breakfast and opened more presents!

It was very hard for him not to open the presents before breakfast.

So Mamo gave in and let him open 1 :) He was so excited!

Christmas Morning

We had a great Christmas this year. Brody as predicted got way too many presents! Brody actually slept in till 8:30 on Christmas morning. He usually gets up between 7 and 7:30. I thought Jamie was going to go crazy waiting for him to get up and see all of his presents. Grandma Julie came down to spend Christmas eve and day with us. It was great! This is a picture of them before going to church.

Opening presents with dada.
Brody's favorite new toy- a pirate ship!

This was a candle that Jamie got me. For some reason Brody loved it! He carried it around all morning and had Santa playing with him and his new toys. I guess next year it's going to be candles instead of toys :)

New fire helmet and gas mask :)
