Brady and Bella

Bella is one of Brady's friends in playgroup. They get along great- actually play TOGETHER and try to make each other laugh. It seems like Brady is always asking to go play at Bella's house. Here are a few pictures her mama took when Brady was over there.




I love that they get along so well and actually care about each other. Brady thanks God for Bella in his prayers. So sweet!

A Trip to Houston

Brady and I headed to Houston last weekend to visit Gramma Dar and to meet my best friend Niki's baby girl. Brady loved visiting Miss Niki and Mr Mason. Mason scored big points when he came back with an ICEE for Brady. B had never had one before but he loved it. Niki also has a candy dish full of M&Ms and one for Hershey kisses. Something we do not have at home- and needless to say they were not full when we left :) Brady has his mama's sweet tooth!

Gramma Dar had a big ball that Brady enjoyed laying on. He would roll forward or to the side and fall off the ball. He thought it was hilarious. But the next day when he went to get the ball out of the garage and discovered the ball would no longer hold air. I guess they are not designed to hold a 30 pound kid.


My camera was acting up... only 2 pictures on an 8 GB memory card but it kept saying the card was full. Go figure!

Fudgsicles- yum!

Brady's first experience with fudgsicles. Needless to say he loved it!

At the Zilker Botanical Garden with some friends. That smile is for Ms. Jaime not mama! Brady held her hand all morning long.


Mollie and Jenna live across the street and Brady loves to play with them- and they love to play with him. They came to the door and ask "Can Brady come out and play?" How stinking cute! They like to help him with everything and usually he lets them. Even if he doesn't need help- that smile tells me that he knows exactly what he is doing.

Catching Up

I have been a bad blogger lately so I am going to try to catch up on the things we have been doing.
Grandpa Rollie came to "play at Brady's house" as B calls it. Of course we had a few projects and Brady was right in the middle of the action.

We went to see Brad, Christi, Braylon and the dogs in Huntsville. Isn't he adorable?

Brady loves to ride on the "tractor"- he was helping Brad fertilize the yard.
Playing at Lucas's second birthday party- lots of fun!

Brady's first pudding cup- chocolate- yum!
Gotta get every last bite...
We went to the creek to throw rocks in the water with playgroup- and Grammy came too!



Another adventure at Extreme Fun. Brady is really starting to love that place.
Ms. Laura is one of Brady's favorites- he loves to take her by the hand and have her help him with anything and everything. Her daughter likes me so we swap kids sometimes!
Playing in the foam pit- Brady loves to be thrown in
On another hike at Bull Creek- quickly becoming one of our favorite things to do!
Brady took us off the path a little... always an adventure!

Braylon

We went to Huntsville to meet Braylon last weekend. He is such a sweet little baby- he rarely ever cries. Here are a few pics from his first photo shoot. More to follow...

In Dallas Last Weekend

We tried to take some pictures while in Dallas last weekend.
Every time I tried to take Brady's picture he would say, "No cheese Mama!!"

Once he got a chance to play, he forgot about the camera for a minute.


Hi Luke!



Crazy Elle running around and Luke sitting for pictures!


Elle was happy to strike a pose- she said she learned this one from the Bachelor!
This about sums up what Brady thinks of mama's photo shoots...

Braylon is Here

My brother and sister-in-law welcomed their first child, Braylon Thomas Volker, today. He is 7 pounds 8 ounces and 20 inches long. We can't wait to meet him!!
