Easter Egg Hunt #1

Spring is finally here and with it comes Easter egg hunts! This is one of Brody's favorite holiday activities so we usually go to at least two a year. The first one was in Boulder city and is always a fun time to see old friends and their kids.

We always meet up with the cousins, Alyssa and Jacob

For some strange reason, Chase will not walk in the grass by himself...I think it weirds him out because he doesn't like to touch it either!

Chase picked up two eggs and then sat down in the middle of everything!

He sat there just taking them in and out of the bucket and was so happy! It was super cute!

This is Chase with Callie. They were born on the same day, only hours apart, so it's fun to see them together!

As you can see, Brody was pretty stoked about his full Easter bucket!

This is my favorite picture of the day. Brody and Chase were sitting by the tree and just cracking up at each other! They seriously love each other so much...it's the greatest!

Monster Jam 2009

Jared and I took Brody to his second Monster Jam last weekend. Everyone always laughs at us because we go but it is seriously so much fun! I think Jared and I like it as much as Brody does!

See what I mean...just as much as Brody :)

This truck actually lost it's brakes and went up into the bleachers!

This was after we got home at 12:30 am. I found Brody in the toy room lining up all 34 of his monster trucks before we made him go to bed!

We are so excited to take Chase with us next year!

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!!!
