CITIES

We spent a fun day in the cities on Saturday. First Brody got to explore a toy store in Maple Grove that had a lot of ride on toys for the kids to try. The bike was Brody's favorite.
Then Ryan, Brody and I along with Grandma and Grandpa Jones, Uncle Nate and Auntie Heidi and Mary Ellen went to an ultrasound place where we got to see Brody's little sister. It was really neat to see her. I wish I could take a sneak peek like that every few weeks! In the first picture she is rubbing her eyes and the second picture is mainly her face with some cord below her mouth.


After lunch we went to the Minnesota Zoo to wrap up our summer "stay-cation." Once again Brody loved the zoo and all of the animals, especially the farm. He hardly spent any time in his wagon maybe next time we will just leave it at home so he doesn't have to pull it around!

Hope you all had a great Labor Day Weekend!

FRIDAY FUN

Fridays are mama and Brody days since I don't work on Fridays. Today after hair cut and lunch we went to play at Grandma's school. The park at Jefferson is great for little ones- Brody can do all of it by himself. We also played in Grandma's room with her whiteboard markers and blocks. Brody likes it at school- its a great place to run and play.

ANOTHER HAIRCUT

Brody got another hair cut today. I swear he gets one a month, his hair grows so fast! I told him he needed to sit like a big boy and then he could have a treat. He took the directions very well and sat so seriously during almost the whole hair cut. He just studies himself in the mirror. Today for a treat he got Smarties- they may be a new favorite!

FUN AT THE PARK

Brody, Grandma and I took a picnic lunch (McDonalds) to the park today. Brody had a lot of fun playing on the equipment but he is at the age where he wants to do everything all by himself- even when its better for Mommy to help.

WAGON RIDE

Brody wanted to go for a wagon ride the other night and after pulling him up and down the drive way a few times I got tired, but he still wanted Mama to come with so it was Dada's turn to pull!

BACK TO WORK

I started back at school this week (hence the lack of blogs). Shelly is on vacation so Brody spent Tuesday and Wednesday with Grammy Tammy- and tomorrow my mom will watch him then next week its back to Shell's full time. It was hard going back- but I do have Fridays off again so I am looking forward to spending some quality time with Brody before baby gets here. Just some cute pictures of Brody in the bath tonight- Hudson showed us his cool blue bath water and with mama feeling guilty about going back to work- Brody got some new bath toys! Color tablets (we tried to make purple) and bath markers!
Brody doing his "WOW!" I'll have to get it on video sometime, its pretty cute.

DARBY

I don't know who was most excited to see Darby when we got home Brody or Ryan (it certainly wasn't me). Brody's been playing some new games with Darby including tug-0f-war and trying to ride Darby. The dog acts like she doesn't always enjoy it but she keeps coming back for more.
