First Boo Boo!

Brody has had his first accident which meant our first trip to the emergency room. I got a call at work from my cousin Carmen who was watching the boys that Brody fell and hit the corner of the coffee table and she thought that it needed stitches. I came right home and took him to the ER and sure enough he got four stitches. I don't know if Beckett knew he needed a little brotherly love because I think he has been giving out more kisses than usual. So having two boys I am sure that this was the first of many trips to the hospital, I just hope for not much worse than this.

Summer Fun

Toby has had to take Brody fishing about everynight. Toby got him a superman fishing pole so that is all he has been wanting to do. Beckett has even wanted to try and catch some.
Brody finally caught his own, with a little help from dad.

I have been taking the boys swimming at my cousins house about once a week and they both love it. The first time I took them Brody learned to swim with a life jacket on, so now he doesn't need to hang on to everyone. I was a little nervous that he wouldn't do it once we put him in the lake but he did great. Beckett just loves to float and splash. Hopefully next summer he will be able to do it on his own too.

Is Summer finally here?

So the weather has finally been warm enough to get outside and let the boys do something. The boys got to go swimming in the swim spa with papaw Braeger, which they loved and think they need to do every night. We have got to go out on the boat. Brody loves to drive and go fast. Beckett is not to sure of it first but he usually falls asleep. Toby put his jetski in on Sunday and we didn't know if Brody would go out with him, but he did. Every time Toby would bring him back he wanted to go again, so a least he wasn't scared. So hopefully the weather will stay warm enough to warm the water because it is still a little to cold for me to get in.

Memorial Day Weekend

Okay so I know I am a little behind, but better late then never.
We had some friends over that weekend for a cookout. As you can
we had a lot of babies at our house that day. Brody gor to play with
his friend Turner again which he loved. They play really well
together, they are both very active boys. Poor Berkeley was the
only girl but she held her own. Beckett liked playing with her.
Then there was Dylan, Griffen and Cooper but they are not quite
old enough to play, but it won't be long.

Sneak Peaks

We had our pictures taken this past weekend by Krista Goodwin the photographer that has been taken Conner's pictures. I loved her work so I wanted her to come take pictures of our family. Here are a couple sneak peaks. Hope to see the other ones soon. I never thought Brody could be so photogenic. I really think it helped that she came to the house everyone was a lot more relaxed and she was so patient and good with the boys.

Family Vacation!

We had or first official family vacation in Siesta Key, Florida.
We thought the boys did well flying on the plane. Brody wanted
to talk loudly and complained a couple of times that his ears were
hurting but we made it. The boys loved playing on the beach.
Brody could have spent all day there if we would have let him.
We had to keep Beckett's pacifier in his mouth when he was down
because he thought that the sand needed to go in his mouth.

We did a lot of fun things and ate at a lot of great places while we
there. Toby, Brody and I all got that 24 hr. flu about 12 hrs
apart so that was kinda a bummer and it really screwed up my tan
(ha, ha)! We rented a pontoon boat for half the day and took it out
on the Bay, so that made us feel like we were back home and
everyone really enjoyed it.

Toby got to spend most of his time helping Brody build sand piles
and sand holes. Brody really enjoyed having Jason, Kristin and
Conner there. We didn't really exist when they were around
because he wanted to be with them, but didn't understand why
he couldn't give Conner kisses anymore when he was sick.

So I am glad to say our vacation was a success and I am glad we
all got to go together, since we had a great time.

Beckett's 1st Birthday Party

I can't believe how fast a year has gone by. I had to put the first picture up to remember how little he once was and it was only a year ago. We had Beckett's 1st birthday party this past Sunday even though his birthday isn't until the 19th, but we will be leaving that day to go to Florida for a much needed vacation.

Beckett enjoyed checking out all of his new toys and Brody enjoyed stealing them and playing with them.
Even though he is a big eater he wasn't so sure what to so with his cake. He liked playing with it in his hands but I think he did get a couple of bites in there. So we hope to have a great trip and hope to have some good pictures to show of the boys when we get back.
