Febuary Fun

This month the boys were excited to spend lots of time with their grandparents!  Brady loves taking long walks with my parents, Tyler loves it when his Papaw lets him stay at the school playground for as long as he wants, and the boys got to spend time with their Mummi after she returned from her trip to Florida!  I got to attend my friend Nina's 40th birthday party!  I also had dinner with my friends, Barbara & Leigh!  Tyler and Dan had a great time watching the Superbowl (I watched until after the half time show!)  Brady and I met our friends, Eden, Falana, & Ana at Panera one morning, and he did a great job sitting nicely in his stroller for over an hour!  Then we headed off to Target (one of our favorite places to shop!)  Tyler and Dan have been playing kick ball a lot on our warm weather days, and Brady and I have been going to various playgrounds!  The boys have been very busy with school (and speech for Brady!) Brady's teacher told me that whenever Tyler and Brady see each other at school, they hug.  This makes me SO happy!  Brady and I had a great visit with my sister-in-law, Kristen, and Tyler has discovered he enjoys watching Naruto on Netflix & doing seven minute workouts with Dan!  After not reading for many months, I read four books, including Jessica Simpson's memoir.  After watching Cheer on Netflix (which I loved!) I watched Love in Blind (with lots of fast forwarding here & there!)  Brady and I love going to the library once a week to pick up books and play with the trains.  :-)

Brady just loves his big brother so much!  We took Tyler with us to Home Goods one day (another place where Brady and I love to shop!) and he thought Tyler was SO funny!  :-)

I love shadow pictures!  Tyler and I were holding Brady's hands on the way home from school one day.  :-)

Brady just loves puzzles, flipping, running and jumping on the couch, and going to his favorite playgrounds!

Dan's 42nd Birthday

Dan turned 42 at the end of last week!  We celebrated with some treats on his actual birthday, and Tyler wrote Dan a special note.  :-)  Brady and Tyler were SO cute singing to Dan when he came down the stairs!  I didn't take a video (since Dan had just woken up!) but I will always remember how adorable Tyler was singing to his dad, and Brady clapping and cheering at the end.  :-)  Dan, Tyler, and I were able to go to Rio Grande for lunch one day while Brady played at his Gaga & Papaw's house.  :-)  Dan was also able to have a nice lunch with his mom.  This weekend he will celebrate with his good friends, Marco, Lomy, & Dorothy!  :-)

Spring Picture Day

Today was spring picture day at school for our boys!  Brady doesn't have preschool on Thursdays, but I brought him to school so he could be in the group photo with his classmates and teachers.  He also had individual spring pictures taken.  He ran away a few times, and didn't smile, but I was able to capture a smile at home!  When he was waiting for his turn, I said, "Look at the flash, Brady!" and he said, "ash!"  He repeated the word again at home.  SO exciting!  Earlier this week, during his speech session, I could hear him repeating, "No" ("oo") and "up".  I even managed to capture him saying all three words on video!  We are so excited about the progress he is making!

Tyler was a good sport about wearing the outfit I chose for him for picture day...at home for a picture with his brother!  Then he changed into an outfit of his own choosing.  We can't wait to see Tyler and Brady's class photos!  :-)
