Little Charlie Brown




I couldn't resist this onesie from Target. Jarin's head is so bald, he looks perfect in the outfit!

December Videos

I've included a link to watch a video of the boys' December activities. Jarin is learning to walk and Brady sang with his 2's and 3's class before the church kid's choir concert. He did well for being in front of about 150 people but he didn't sing to his potential. He seemed to forget his hand motions and words. It was cute anyway!

Just copy and paste the link (below) into your address bar:)

Christmas

Merry Christmas! This year we decided to get Brady something to ride outdoors on. I suggested something small and battery powered but M could only find (at the last minute) something a little bigger than I had in mind. We lowered the miles per hour to something a 2 year old can handle safely. I guess M had an actual 4 wheeler when he was only 5 so he's passing the tradition on. Be careful Brady!

Grandpa also got Brady his first tricycle so he's set for outdoor play! Thanks Grandpa! We both the 4 wheeler and the tricycle assembled and placed under the tree for Christmas morning. Brady still doesn't quite understand Christmas and gifts and Santa and all that but he had fun opening presents!

My sweet little boys were kind enough to stop moving for a rare kodak moment at church last week. Yes, I know, matching your kids is lame but I can't resist!

Thanksgiving in Arizona

We drove to Arizona again this year to visit my grandparents for Thanksgiving. The trip really wasn't as bad as it had been 2 years ago when Brady was young. We chose to drive all night this time and it worked out much better. The entire family came so it was great to spend some time with my brothers and sister and their families too.














My sister's little girl is so cute!

Harvest Banquet

Our church has a Harvest Banquet every year and we went to it last night. The food was great and the fellowship was even better! It was a good time to reflect on how thankful we are. I know Matt and I are definitely thankful for our two little bundles of joy. They are getting so big.









Brady and Jarin loved the singing. They got to stay through the service part of the evening and they behaved very well! Brady tried to sing the songs (even though he didn't know them at all) and he clapped along too.

He Sings With All His Might

Brady loves to sing! One of his favorites is "Jesus Loves the Little Children". When he yells during the song, he is actually simulating the music that leads into the vocals. He is really into singing right now and playing instruments. I don't know if this phase will last so I've got to capture it while I can!
