8 Month Update - Brody

 

Here is Kamden's 8 month update.

Easter

Easter was a beautiful day!  We all had a really great time.  It started with a little visit from the Easter Bunny. We ran into a bit of a problem when Kamden liked Brody's basket better than his own but we moved on.  It was, yet another, lesson in sharing.  Kam was obsessed with the kid snow shovel all winter so I thought he needed the summer version.

Then we headed to church with my parents.  These two had WAY too much fun.  Luckily, it was a very casual service and mid service, it was actually the pastor that encouraged me to grab this photo.  Kam was singing and dancing throughout the whole thing.

We headed back to the farm and did an egg hunt before having lunch.  Kam had his own personal egg hunt the night before but he still wasn't very into actually getting eggs (fine by me!).  He had more grass and rocks in his bucket than eggs. 

Some of the bigger kids were helping him out.  A was moving the branch to make sure Kam got that egg.  So sweet!

Here is the group picture of the kids.  They are a hilarious.  All of the kids are obsessed with "Baby Brody" (except his own brother, of course). 

A few family pictures.  Shocker... Kam wasn't the most cooperative!

After lunch, the younger three took naps and then there was buggy rides... and more buggy rides.  The parents enjoyed some time on the screened in porch while Grandma indulged them.

Good Friday - or Saturday

We couldn't get together for Good Friday this year so it turned into Good Saturday.  The weather was gorgeous and the kids were happy.  I can't ask for much more!

I have to thank Aunt C for all of these photos.  I am continually amazed by what she can capture with a good old iphone... must be all those years of professional training!

 

Nana had a egg hunt for Kamden

 We can't forget Brody :)

 Score! Chocolate!

 

 Kamden found a bowl full of the extra candy.  He dumped those into his basket, too.  I am the kind of Mom that let him have a few pieces then the rest disappeared.   I might as well keep this going as long as he lets me get away with it.   The kid barely eats real food...

Tucson, AZ and Joe's 35th

Joe was working in Tucson on a Wednesday and just happened to turn 35 the weekend before.  We decided to make a vacation of it and head down for some relaxing in the sun for a long weekend.  We, of course, stayed with points at a beautiful resort (on of the few perks of a husband that travels like crazy for work).  It was a gorgeous setting and really nice accommodations.  In fact, it had one of the best outdoor patio/bars at a resort we have ever visited.  That is saying a lot considering how often we like to cash in those points at a nice resort!  It was perfect weather, too... 80s in the day and 50s at night.  We had a car so spent a lot of time during the day exploring the city and surrounding landscapes.  I grabbed a few photos with my phone but not many....

When we got home we had a "birthday party" for Daddy.  Kam was very excited about this...

Joe got some camping gear for this birthday.  We have already set up the tent in the basement where Joe and Kamden spent the night.  Wow!  Kamden was hilarious.  He was running/jumping/dancing around the tent and saying "I LOVE IT" and then he started hugging the tent.  It was awesome.  This mom is excited for some boating/camping weekends in the future... boys only, of course :)

7 Month Update - Brody

Yes, you read that correctly.. while we were in Tucson, Brody had an awful cold, his first ear infection, and got his first tooth.  What great parents we are ....

Here is Kamden's 7 Month

Happy 35th Joe!

More to come later but I was able to grab this impromptu photo of my favorite guys!  Brody just covered himself in squash so he was down to diaper but I love it anyway....

6 Month Update - Brody

Brody,
Love you and welcome to being the second born.  Both your Dad and I can relate.  You can seek counsel with us in the future when you are ticked about things like this.  You are now 7 months old and I am just now posting this update.  In my defense, I created this a month ago but didn't get around to posting.  It probably won't be the last time... you will learn to deal.  We turned out ok and so will you :)

Love, Mom and Dad
