Catching up.


We have been doing lots of fun things this summer. I feel like this summer is so much more fun because Brody is older and enjoys getting out and seeing new things. Last summer I was cooped up trying to figure out how to take care of a newborn.



We went to the zoo and Brody loved all the animals. We bought a season pass because we figure no matter how many times we go Brody will love it every time. We can even go during the winter when they have all the Zoo lights up. So we are excited about that.












We have a little community pool we go to at least once a week.  Whenever Brody see's the water he always says "Wa" he sure does love being outside. It's funny because I never get a tan, Taylor is always the tan one, he goes outside for 5 seconds and gets a nice golden tan, but this year I'm somewhat keeping up with him I think he is pretty worried I might get darker than he does. I think Brody is beating us both he totally has tan lines up and down his arms because of the rolls on his arms. People always say what pretty skin he has.





There is a little man made lake up by our house  there is always, ducks, geese and swans. In the spring there is all kinds of babies up there. We like to go up there and feed them. They will literally come eat the bread right out of your hands, except I am to big of chicken to let them, its quite scary.











We just got back from Island Park, my family has a cabin up there we spend a few days up there every summer. We rent four wheelers, eat lots of good food, play games, watch movies, its such a fun place to be. Taylor took Brody on a four wheeler ride, it was kind of rainy and cold but Taylor took him anyway because he had never been on one before.  He was so excited to take Brody, When the ride was done Taylor came inside and Brody had a fit, he cried and cried and kept say "vroom vroom" while pointing to the door. Lets just say he loooved those four wheelers. Again just like his daddy! it was pretty cute.


We took some family pictures while we were up there. My sister Kim took the shots and I did a little editing and walahh! they turned out awesome. I was so excited to because I was about to pay a grundle in getting them done by some one else. love it when a plan comes together :)

Brody is growing up so fast. He turned one on May 3, 2012.  He wasn't so sure about eating that cake but he loved destroying it. Ever since his birthday he has been obsessed with balloons. He would point to them every 5 seconds and say "booooon". He points at everything, random people, cars, he loves trucks just like his daddy, sometimes he will do a double point with both hands just to make sure you know what he is talking about.



He says a lot of words now, he says "da" for dog and "ba" ball, "cacker" cracker, "guck" truck, "nanna" banana and we have been trying to teach him animal sounds he says oof oof if you ask him what a dog says, and Taylor's favorite is if you ask him what a cow says he will say "moooooo" he also know's tiger he will growl. Most of the time he gets them mixed up and say's "moooooo" for every animal. We always say he is definetly Taylor son because his first animal sound was a cow, and he can pick out a truck from a mile away.


He used to do this funny face ALL the time, We would tell me to do it and every time he would. I am so glad I captured it on camera because he wont do it as much any more, he sure has made a lot of people laugh with this face. He has such a fun personality I wish I could freeze him right now so he wont grow anymore.
