Brady is 2!


Sunday, December 5th, was Brady's second birthday. He had a joint birthday party with a little boy in playgroup at Gymboree.


They had a truck theme- complete with 30 cupcakes!



Back a home with a huge pile of presents! He was about half way done opening presents when he said "go night night" so he did. He got back to the presents first thing on Monday morning!
He got lots of great trucks, puzzles, trains, books, clothes and even his first set of "real" golf clubs.

Thanksgiving!

I broke my camera a few weeks ago and have been going crazy without it. I held out hoping there would be a great Black Friday deal on the one I wanted. I finally got my camera in the mail today so I will be back to blogging again!

The Texas vs A&m game was in Austin this year so we tailgated with the usually crew and Andy's family and headed to the game. It was COLD- in the 30's with the wind chill. Brady was a trooper and really seemed to enjoy the game- and the thermos of hot chocolate I smuggled in!

On Friday morning Brady and I headed up to Dallas to meet up with the Volker clang at my sister's house. These pictures are courtesy of Emily.

Brady is obsessed with his cousin Luke- talks about him all the time. All he said on the 3 hour drive up was "go Luke's house" over and over again. He liked to hang out in Luke's crib with him.

Elle seems to like Brady more and more the older he gets. She really takes care of him!

Both boys got their nails trimmed...

We celebrated Brady's birthday with my family while we were all together. Uncle Brad gave him a lot of cool cars and truck.
Last year Brad gave Brady a big wagon full of mega blocks that Brady LOVES (still plays with it on a daily basis) so he won what Emily calls the "best present award." I think Em's feeling were a little hurt but this year Brady loved the trash truck Aunt Emmy got him. Score: Brad-1, Em-1!

Ya Never Know What He Will Do

A silly place to "rest"...



Brady has been getting pretty good at building (or course he had a little help!)

Cookie Monster is at it again!



Who's walking who?!? Brady got to take Hadley for a walk the other morning. He thought he was so cool- he wanted to walk her even after she pulled him down twice.


We walked all the way to the park...



Forgotten Pumpkin Patch

I can't believe I forgot to upload these pictures from the pumpkin patch. Brady was not really in the mood for pictures but hey...

Happy Halloween!!

We bought a lion costume for Brady a few months ago. It has been hanging in his room since then so he could get used to it. He roared at it all the time and liked talking about the lion but every time we even took it off the hanger he would say "No, no, no!" Needless to say when it came time to put the lion on Brady was less than pleased. While he looked adorable- no one likes a crying lion, so we changed him into overalls and a hat so he could be Thomas the Tank Engine's conductor.





We went to the neighborhood Halloween Carnival that our playgroup put on. He had fun with his friends and playing "carnival" games.
