So...


I always say I want to wait to share the news, but once I find out, its all I think about, and I just can't help telling everyone I know!  Yes, we are thrilled beyond belief!

Best Buds

Bo and Brodie have so much fun together.  They play all the time and they both love each other very much!

Where's the duck?



I went to go do some laundry last night and when I came back home there were a ton of these smiling pictures of Brodie.  I guess daddy really had him laughing!



On our way back down from our attempted trip to Thousand Lakes Wilderness.


There is a road across the street from our road that takes you 9 miles up to Thousand Lakes Wilderness and there is a great hiking trail up there too.  There was still way too much snow to make it all the way up there, which was a major disappointment... so you'll have to stay tuned for pictures of the place once we can actually get through all the snow.

Brodie's 1st Favorites!

Last night I got around to posting pictures of the Big Brode's Birthday Celebration, but I wanted to take a little time this morning to document some of Brodie's favorite things on his 1st year mark!

1. Brodie's Favorite Animals are Ducks and no matter what house we go to visit, he manages to find a picture or a figurine or something that has to do with a duck!

2. Brodie Loves giving hugs and he'll pat you on the back when he gives one.

3. He finally prefers walking over crawling!

4.  He'll eat anything with cheese in it, on it, or under it.

5.  Brodie will turn just about any object into a drum and rock out.

6.  Brodie's favorite song is the theme song to The Office... he also really likes a Geico Commercial.

7.  Brodie is very attracted to toilets and if you leave the door open to a bathroom, you can guarantee he'll be there within seconds.

8.  One of Brodie's favorite things to do it pet the dogs.  His favorite dog is Gabby (my parents dog)

9.  Brodie likes to say "dada", can sign "all done" and "more", and is getting really good at saying "hi."  He also is a great waver.

10.  Brodie LOVES to talk on the phone.  His smile just lights up when his daddy or nana start talking to him.

11.  Brodie thinks he's an Indian.  His dad taught him how to say "Hi-ya-ya-ya, Hi-ya-ya-ya" and he'll repeat that and dance around like an Indian.  Its pretty funny.

12.  And Last but not least... he loves spending time with his Mommy. 
We have so much fun together all day every day and I feel so blessed to have a husband that supports me in being a stay at home mom and doing everything he can to make that happen.  I couldn't imagine missing one second of the first year of my little guy's life!

Brodie's New Tent!

One of the presents we got for Brodie's birthday came in the mail yesterday and I know I should have waited until his birthday party, but I just couldn't help it!  But don't worry, I still have another present to give him on his birthday.

Anyways, he absolutely LOVES it!





For anyone who hasn't heard, we're having a birthday party for Brodie on Saturday at my parents house and everyone is invited.  We'll be bringing his play tent, so bring your kids and lets have a lot of fun!
