Our trip to COMO ZOO

Last week Shelli was off on vacation so Mom took a few days off to watch us. One of the days she took us to Como Zoo in St. Paul to meet up with our buds Fuzz & Reese. It was a blast! our favorite pictures are attached.

Bennett chillin' in the stroller....

I'm sure, the FIRST of many...

Wednesday night this past week Dad was working and Mom headed to the movie "The Help" with a bunch of girls. Gavin came over and he, Bennett & I played with our babysitter, Sara. We loved her.

Gavin and I were playing a friendly game of 1:1 hockey...and, bam - my first blow to the head with a hockey stick. I'm tough and I'm fine and I have one good lookin little bruise forming to proove it. My Dad thinks that this is the first of MANY MORE to come. I'm turning three the end of November and my Parents told me I'm getting my first pair of hockey skates. Whoo!

Later,
Brady Michael

State Fair 2011

We went to the State Fair this year again and had a blast - this time was my brother, Bennett's first time. We ONLY ate cheese curds, pronto pup, fries, walleye cakes, deep fried pickles, cinnamon almonds and cookies. Whew! We were tired after a long day but both made it from 9-4pm!

Love, Brady

Bennett 6 month check-up with Doc MB

Can you believe it? Yes, 6 months flies by even faster with 2nd child WITHOUT A DOUBT. From Mom's perspective here, I can't put my finger on why...is it because there is twice as many diapers? Twice as many cries for Mom? Twice as many baths, carseats, feedings and play times? I'm chalking it up to - it's twice as much fun. We are so happy with both boys, but as you can imagine it's also twice the business. We are busy and it seems that this blogging thing keeps moving down the priority list. We want to keep it up though becuase we CRACK UP looking back at the past 3 yrs of blogs & pictures of how Brady has grown. These days, Mom & Dad are prioritizing reading books, giggling and sleeping when we can. :)

Height: 25.5 inches (25%)
Weight: 17.2 lbs (50%)
Head size: 45 (50%)

Bennett had a great 6 month check-up appointment this week! Our favorite pictures are attached! He had 3 shots, including the first does of the flu shot and did well, except for the high temp for 24-36 hours after. He's back to normal now!

We feel so lucky! Enjoy

Carrie On 6K

This past Saturday was a great day - a great day to rembember Carrie Lorman, Shelli's daughter. When I was a wee little nugget, Carrie lost her life in a tragic car accident. We miss her deeply but are able to see her eyes, her hair, her gestures and smiles through my friend, Brooklynn EVERY DAY at daycare. We feel so lucky to have this run/walk each year to celebrate Carrie's birthday - we truly miss her and she will never, ever be forgotten. We've posted a few of our favorite pictures!~

Love, Brady

What are you gonna dream 'bout?

Each night, when we put Brady to bed we spend a few minutes scratching his back. We ask each other what we're going to dream about and talk about having a good sleep. Last night, Bill & I both put Brady to bed together and he said "I'm gonna dream 'bout donuts" I think he's a boy who takes after his mother...

This morning as Brady woke up, he did his usual "Mom, let's go downstairs, watch tv and eat see-wool (cereal)" Bill shared him the news that they were going to take a drive to get donuts for breakfast. By the look on his face, you would have thought he won the lottery. We couldn't resist a few pictures....enjoy!

Happy Donut Boy

I want THAT one

Skiing, a Frog & Bieber Fever with the Beckers

We had a GREAT long weekend up at the cabin last weekend with the Beckers! The weather was beautiful so we've shared many of our favorite pictures of the weekend. We fished, and fished, and fished, went frog hunting, ate pizza at Zorbas, went skiing/tubing, swimming and anything outside because the weather was so very perfect. Zoie and Ellie spent plenty of time with the boys - we will not forget that they were the ones who taught him about Lady Gaga & Justin Bieber. So much, that Brady asked us to go to Lady Gaga's house the other night, and was running around the house yelling "I have Bieber Fever!!" Oh, wow.

Enjoy the pictures. Thanks Beckers & Shercks for a great time with family. We are so lucky!
