Here Comes Trouble

Brody had his 1st birthday party on Saturday, he will not be one until Thursday but I wanted to do a swimming party while the weather was still nice. It was a beautiful day it was about 85 degrees so perfect weather for swimming. We had pizza Brody's favorite food and chocolate cup cakes also one of Brody's favorites. Ya Jason has been feeding him all sorts of foods that he is not supposed to eat so this was not his first attempt at eating cake. I can hardly believe that he is a year old. Each child grows up faster and faster. I wasn't sure I would make it through the sleepless nights but here I am a year later and we made it through. Brody is a character he started walking on the 13th and hasn't stopped. He is so little so it is funny to see him walking around and getting into everything. Now that he is walking the attitude has begun, for some reason my kids think that is a right of passage once you start walking you can do whatever you want whenever you want. He is still sweet but very persistent which is good because he is the third child so he has to fight for the attention. He is not talking English yet but he love to jabber away, I wish I knew what he was saying because it always sounds so interesting. He loves Ethan and is always excited to see him. Addy on the other hand sometimes drives him crazy. She likes to be in his face and constantly touching him and most of the time he wants to be left alone. It is pretty funny watching them. We are so glad to have Brody around he keeps us so busy but we wouldn't have it any other way.

King of the day

On Friday Ethan got to be king of the day it was very exciting. Ethan got to make his own very special crown. Then he had to fill the jeweled box with things that were important to him. It was fun to see what he wanted to put in the box. He made sure to put one of his transformers in, one of his Lego creations, his light up gun and a star wars guy. Then he threw in a baseball, he doesn't like baseball that much but he does like sports so that counts right? He put one of his soccer cleats in then he came running down the stairs asking for a picture of the family. It was so cute, he came to me and said I need to put a picture of our family in the box because that is very important to me. It was neat to see that he had thought about that. I could not find a picture so he put in a photo book that we had made that had pictures of the family. All in all it was a perfect day to be king.

Preschool for Addy

I think she needs a bigger backpack.

Addy is an official preschooler, she just walked right into class and sat down she had no problems leaving me behind. Addy has been looking forward to going to school after watching Ethan so she was a little disappointed when she found out I was driving her and she would not be taking the bus like the big kids. She got over it pretty fast when she found out we would be carpooling with Nic. Her teachers are Mrs. Jackie and Mrs. Loni and so far Addy has made a big impression, because they commented to me that they have loved having Addy in class this year, which makes me wonder what kind of shenanigans she has been up to. Addy is really growing up despite the fact that she is a foot smaller than everyone in her class. Don't worry she makes up for her size in attitude and she will have no problems finding her way through this school year.
