A Football Fort

Daddy and B built this fort to watch football in...
don't they look cozy?

Our Trip to the Circus

We got to go to the Austin Shrine Circus on Monday... it was an experience...
Brady liked making elephant noises.

Clapping for the elephants as they walked in


I'm sorry... are you 2 or 15?



Hard to say if he was enjoying it at this point or not...
The tigers... they could do some cool tricks but it was kind of hard to see thru the cage.
Although we didn't even make it to intermission, I think the kids had a good time for the most part. I must say that I felt kind of bad for the animals.

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Yesterday was Andy's birthday so Brady and I made him a cake..

The entire time Brady just kept saying "taste it please mama!" over and over and over so finally I let him!

He kept helping himself to the icing too!


And helped blow out the candle too!

Chuck-E-Cheese Round 2

It has been cold and wet here for a few days now so we headed to Chuck-E-Cheese to get out of the house.
When we got out of the car a train went by so we had to stand outside in the 29 degree weather for 6 minutes until the train was gone. Neither Harlow or Brady would move at all until it was completely gone.

Several kids from playgroup met us there- we love outings with our friends!

A Boy After His Mama's Heart!

Brady is obsessed with the vacuum- he loves it.

And, of course, I love that he WANTS to vacuum for me! :) What a kid!

His Father's Son

We had a birthday party in Driftwood (about a hour away) last weekend.
Brady and Andy both fell asleep on the way there...

And on the way home....


And at home...
No idea how they end up sleeping in the same position as each other. Silly boys.

A big red ball and a little boy= hours of fun...

A Lollipop Adventure

Brady's first attempt at eating a lollipop. A little messy but he loved it.

Christmas in Huntsville

We all went to Brad and Christi's house for Christmas this year. The car was pretty well loaded down with presents, food and even Hoss. The presents rode in the backseat with Brady so he opened one on the way...

Two new toys for Luke but Brady and Elle seemed to enjoy them too!
Brady is obsessed with "Choo Choos" right now so instead of making a gingerbread house we made a train.

Our Gingerbread Choo Choo masterpiece...
Grampa, Bob, Brady and Elle riding on Brad's new toy- a Polaris Ranger. It was so much fun to drive around on! We all had a blast going super fast over bumps and hills. Andy and I are wishing we had a place in the country so we could get one too!! (not sure why this picture won't rotate!!)

Hoss got to go to Brad and Christi's too. They have 2 chocolate labs (both with orange collars as well)- sometimes it was hard to tell them apart.



Poor Luke was sick and had to do breathing treatments... not fun for any of us!
Elle got not one but two make up kits for Christmas so here I am being a good Aunt and letting her give me a make over...

Santa got Brady a parachute and balls- a huge hit with all 3 kids!

Elle got a baby doll for Christmas and Brady immediately took it and started playing with her- feeding her a bottle. I thought it was sweet but all of the dads (Andy, Bob, Brad and Grampa) kept trying to distract him with a truck, tractor, ball or boat! Silly boys!
Elle and Brady both got a sit and spin- Brady is not sure what to do with it yet...

Brady's new cash register- he is a big fan of money!
Gramma got Brady a truck pulling a boat- he was in heaven!
