To Grammy and Gramps

We took a little road trip to see Grammy and Gramps yesterday to have a late birthday dinner with Grammy. We stopped at Rudy's to get some food... and a cookie for Brady.

Brady entertained himself in the car with a water bottle and hanger.

After dinner, we took a ride on their new boat.



Are there any fish out there?


A beautiful sunset over the water.
Happy belated birthday, Grammy!

Trash Project

Last night we went to the Trash Project... we didn't really know what it was about just that there would be a lot of trash trucks. It turned out to be really fun. There were all different types of trash trucks, recycle trucks, street sweepers, bulk trash trucks, etc. They drove around in patterns to music, lifting and moving trash cans. It sounds strange but it was pretty cool. Brady loved it.

The librarians also did a little dance about freedom to read... that books should not be banned. Miss Aubrey, who does story time, was one of them.
I guess it was a little loud for Bella.

Sweet Boy

The other night we had spaghetti and salad for dinner. Brady cleaned his plate and then said "That was really good food, Mama." Such a sweet little man. He has been learning how to clear his plate and put his things in the dishwasher.


Brady is obsessed with the ipad. He always wants to play games and is really good at most of them!

We went to the lake on Sunday morning and Brady had a blast playing in the tube (same one he hated last year)!
And driving the boat of course.

Getting Excited for School

Brady starts school next week and we have been talking about it a lot. He is very excited about his new backpack and lunch box.


Every time we talk about school, Brady asks "You'll come get me, right Mama?" and I say "Always!" He seems ready... we'll see.

Winter Clothes

Today was winter clothes day at swim lessons and I am happy to report that Brady did great!


This one is supposed to be like falling off the boat... head first and downward...


Just hanging out in starfish.


Brady is pretty much done. Tomorrow I get in the water with him and Miss Erica so she can teach me how to work with him and keep his skills sharp. We highly recommend ISR lessons- well worth the money!!

Pump It Up!

We bought a Groupon for Pump It Up and today we went to play. Brady loved it. He and Harlow immediately started running around and trying out all the bouncy houses. Hopefully it was enough to get him to nap today :)

Summer Clothes

Brady is getting close to the end of swim lessons. Before he can "graduate" he must prove he can perform his skills in summer clothes and winter clothes. Today was summer clothes and he did awesome!





Ms. Erica dumps them in the pool in crazy positions to simulate a fall and make sure they can still find their way to the surface even if they go in upside down. She even splashes him in the video and he just keeps on floating. Brady laughs and laughs when he watches this video of himself.




When we got home, he ate a big salad for dinner complete with a few types of lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, carrots, walnuts and feta cheese. He emptied his entire bowl! That's my boy! And he was rewarded with ice cream. Yum!
