Future So You Think You Can Dancers!

Brody LOVES music and has always had good rhythm. Jared always says, "We may not have a girl, but you have your dancer."

So tonight, Jared was listening to some music on the computer and both the boys were dancing! It was sooo cute!!! Chase was boogy-ing on the first one and then Brody totally goes crazy on the second one! He even busts out the worm!!! We have never seen him do this before but I bet he saw it one time on tv and now he can do it! It's hilarious!!

(They get a little lengthy but you have to see his worm on the second one at the very beginning!)

Happy Birthday Jared!

Jared's birthday was on Monday, July 28th. Brody loves helping me in the kitchen so we were excited to make Jared's cake. Brody helped make it every step of the way and it was the best birthday cake ever!!

Good thing Jared likes sprinkles!

Concentrating so hard on getting all 28 candles on the cake!

So proud and ready to eat!

Helping Dad blow out the candles!

Sweeter by the Day

We were shopping at Costco when Brody found the flowers. I watched him as he smelled each bunch. Then, he looked up at me with the most sincere smile and asked, "Mommy, which flowers would you like?" He wanted to buy me flowers and my heart just melted!! I asked him to pick out the ones that he thought I would like the most and he picked these purple daisies. Brody was so proud of himself and carried them to the register all by himself. I picked him up to thank him for my flowers and he says to me, "I got you these flowers because I love you so much!" I immediately got teary-eyed! Brody is such an amazing person! He shows me everyday how truly blessed I am to be his mother!

I love you Brody!!!!!

Soakin' Wet

For the last few weeks, rain has been in our forecast. But since this is Vegas, the weathermen only get it right about 30% of the time! I had been telling Brody that when it rains he can play in it. After a week of no rain, he was very disappointed. Then, last Saturday, I awoke to the sounds of thunder and was hoping that Brody would finally get to play in the rain. A little while later, I hear Brody and Jared laughing and running around outside. FINALLY RAIN!! They were so cute, splashing in the puddles and sliding down the "water slide!"

Our Sweet, Crazy Brody

November, 2008 - Brody wants Christmas to be here soo bad! When he asks me when it will be here, I tell him that we have Thanksgiving first, and then it will be Christmas time. A few days later he comes up to me and asks, "Mom, when do we thanksgive?"
July 29, 2008 - When we were out to dinner at Applebee's, Brody was feeding Jared his apple slices. Jared had a mouthfull and couldn't eat anymore, so he was keeping his mouth shut. Brody insisted on forcing them into his mouth anyway and when Jared wouldn't open up anymore, Brody says "Stop jackin' around Dad!" I could not believe it!! We really need to watch what we say around him!
June 20, 2008 - Brody is totally potty trained now, but I still am in the habit of asking him every 30 minutes if he has to go. When I asked, he says yes and then Jared volunteers to take him. This must have made Brody very happy because his response was "Let's do it bro!" Brody really is very intelligent, even if his sometimes surfer-like vocabulary makes it sound otherwise!!!
June 20, 2008 - Chase was relaxing in his swing and Brody was playing with some toys, each doing their own thing. I was in the kitchen and hear Brody say "Chasers...what up dude?"
June 19, 2008 - While sitting in the McDonald's drive thru, waiting in a forever-long line, Brody asks, "Are you going to open the window, or what?"
May 23, 2008 - I was driving home with the boys in the back seat. I hear Brody counting, but instead of counting in order, he is all over the place....1,10,7,25,63. I ask him, "What kind of counting is that?" Brody explains "I'm counting in Spanish Mommy!" Oh, of course, how could I have not known that!
April 15, 2008 - Jared and I are always telling Brody how smart he is. So now, when Brody asks us about something and we give him an answer, he tells us, "You're so smart!" Nice to know our child thinks we are intelligent also!
March 15, 2008 - The four of us went to breakfast at the Original Pancake House after the Boulder City Easter Egg Hunt. I ordered Brody an orange juice because that is what he wanted. The waitress tells me that it is fresh squeezed and has a lot of pulp in it. I think to myself that it couldn't be that much pulp and tell her that he will be fine. As we are eating, Brody takes a drink of his orange juice and pulls it away with a look of disgust on his face! He hands it to me and says, "It has fuzz in it!" I guess the pulp was a bit too much for him! So, as my punishment for not listening to the waitress, I spend the rest of breakfast drinking from a plastic kiddie cup while having to help Brody every time he wants a drink because I had to hand over my large glass of apple juice.
Jared got home from a hard day of work and was laying on the floor with his eyes closed. Brody walked over to him to see what he was doing. He then pats Jared on top of the head, leans in and asks, "You tired little Buddy?"
Jared and I are no longer Dad and Mom to Brody. He now refers to us as Buddy and Babe when talking to us!
I was flipping through the tv channels and stopped on the Christina Aguilara concert. Brody loves music and started watching it with me. He always comments on girls' hair and says, "She have nice hair, Mommy." I agree with him and say, "Yes, she is very pretty and such a good singer." He continues watching it, very intently, and then comes to the realization, "She have nice boobs too!" I could not believe this! I'm going to have my hands full with this one!
February 7, 2008 - I was getting ready for a doctors appointment and changing my clothes when Brody looks at me, points and asks, "Is that my brother in there?" He is so ready for his baby brother to be here!
Brody is constantly giving my prego belly hugs and kisses because to him, he is giving Chase hugs and kisses when he does this. Jared and I always ask him if he loves his brother and he always says yes. On this day, Brody walked over to my belly, hugged and kissed it and then said, "I love you Chase." Brody melts my heart every day!
I was sitting on the couch, rubbing lotion on my enormous, pregnant, itchy belly when Brody came over and wanted to help. I gave him some lotion to put on my belly. When he was finished, he says "There you go Chase." He is such a caretaker! I love him so much!
December 23, 2007 - I was sitting on the floor with Brody and said "Ouch." Brody is always very concerned when anyone is hurt or in pain so he asked "Are you ok Mommy?" I told him that I was fine. A few moments later, after Brody was thinking for a while, he announces to me "I want to be a doctor, make people feel better!" I could not believe that he had put the two together! What kind of 2 year old has aspirations to be a doctor?! Brody is such a caring and sweet boy, we are so blessed!!!
