Where's Brody?

I recently learned that Brody can open the door leading into the garage. This video's kind of dark, but if you look close- you'll see that he went into the garage, opened the door to the explorer, climbed in and closed the door behind him...content as could be to push all the buttons.

Ozzy

We got a new kitty recently and named him Ozzy. Brody loves him, but we are still working on the proper way to hold him. I'll get pictures soon, but in the meantime the video tells it all!

The State Fair

We had fun at the fair this year! We didn't get too many pictures, but the ones of Brody eating his corn are too cute!

Let's play in the car!

Brody's newest thing to do is to play in the front seat of the cars and push all the buttons. Yes, the car is turned off, but some things still work like the hazards and the eject button on the cd player. And the Explorer has a memo button so he loves to push play and hear all of the recordings. He can easily sit in there for 30 minutes or so! Here's some pics..





And here are some pictures I took of Brody while he was napping. So sweet!

Branson

We went back to Branson in August. Brody's favorite part of this trip was definately the kiddie rides. He got so excited to ride one of the rides, that he ran right into the metal pole and chipped his tooth. Luckily, it was just a small chip and you can't notice it too much. It sure did scare me though! We also saw the musical "Noah". It was good, but a little boring for a 2 year old. The weather was really nice and we spent lots of time outside. We're going back in October!

This is the ride Brody chipped his tooth on!


Wee!!




Smelling the flowers...

My little dancer

My favorite show of the summer is "So You Think You Can Dance" and I was watching it in front of Brody one day and whenever they would dance, so would he! He's got some moves!! Here are a couple of videos...

4th of July

We had a busy 4th this year. First we went to Kristy's for some good food and fun. Brody was so good in her un-childproofed home. He didn't break a thing! Then, we went to the celebration at UCO and Brody loved all the inflatables and loved the fireworks too. He stayed up until 11:30!!

Brody and Daddy

Happy 4th of July!

"Aunt" Kristy

Brody having a blast in the ball pit!

He wasn't scared of the fireworks at all!!

We had the best view of the fireworks! They were right over our head and we could see every sparkle!!

Some cute Brody pics!

Here's a few pictures of Brody. The one of him in daddy's boots is my favorite! He knows that the word "cheese" is associated with taking a picture. So, whenever I take his picture, he looks at me and says cheese. That has made for some great shots! Wonder how long that will last?!



He loves stomping around in Daddy's shoes!




Cheese!




Having fun at the Paseo Art Festival


Being silly and playing in his Jumparoo-
I don't know why I even have this out
still!

Brody's second birthday party

We celebrated Brody's birthday a little early this year. He had lots of fun playing with his cousins and playing with his new toys. Can you believe he is (almost) 2 ?!?!?


This cake was sooo fun to make!


Ahh, the love of grandparents!


My musician!

Need a ride?


Brody's first flat tire... not a good sign!!


Woudn't be a Brody page without a giggling video!

Our first vacation

We took our first official family vacation last week. We kept it close and went to Branson, MO. We had tons of fun and Brody did really good... not a fan of sleeping in hotel rooms, but that's okay!



His favorite ride at Silver Dollar City (okay, we
only rode one ride, but he loved it!)


This was him being sad when the ride was over.
We waited for 20 minutes to ride it, so we didn't
let him ride it again. Aww, poor thing!


But then, he was happy again because he
got to ride this horse. He's easy to please!


Having fun on Daddy's shoulders!


This is a cool fountain they have in downtown
Branson. It shoots water and then fire and then
makes a rainbow. Wow!

More zoo fun

Oh, how I love the zoo! Elizabeth and Kaelyn joined us this time! Yay!

Kristy went with us to the arts festival this year and we had a blast! And the food was soooo yummy!




Kristy! Look at this cool stick!


Should I get the fried cheesecake?
