Pumpkin Party!

Travis' cousin Kimberly has a pumpkin carving party every year. Here I am working on Brady's pumpkin. No, not the one in my shirt! The one on the table! Kimberly gave Brady this dump truck and you know she was the favorite for the rest of the night!
Brady was proud of his pumpkin that "Mama made for me!"
Cute little face...
Happy Fall!

Early October 2008

Today we had a play date at the house...Andrew and Brady... Brady and Riley...sharing the "fire boots" and the "hunting boots"!
We have to capture these moments on camera as much as possible because it doesn't happen often!
All ready to go to the football game! He insisted on wearing his "football shirt with the number 1 on it"!
Upon arrival home, the boys had to have their own football game...look at that form!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY BRADY!

He thought this card was the best...Thomas the Tank Engine-BeepBeep...we had cake and icecream with "Trenny and Papaw". It was small and sweet and fun.
We got Brady another piece for his Thomas collection and some more track. Daddy did a good job of making a big set for him.
These days we spend a lot of time at the pond by our condo. There are lots of bluegill and catfish and some bass. Brady has learned to cast and catch his own fish! "I do it myself!" Sweet boys...
This weekend was the big Tennessee vs. Flordia football game. Travis' friend John came up from Georgia for the game on Saturday. We had our own rivalry game right in the living room! Go Big Orange!
Our friends, Brent, Amber, and Riley gave this monster truck to Brady for his birthday! It has been a favorite ever since. Note also the "fire boots" that are almost a staple in Brady's wardrobe since bringing them home from Colorado!

August 2008


Brady and I traveled to Colorado to visit my family this August. We stayed almost the whole month! It was tough being away from Travis, but it was really nice to spend time in warm weather with my family since we usually visit in winter!

We took several trips to see my dad at work, where Brady became an expert backhoe operator!

Probably the biggest hit of the trip was the "4-da-weeda"...almost nightly rides with anyone who would take him. If he was big enough he would take himself because he sure knew how to operate it! And if you did it wrong, he would tell you just how to do it.

We spent some time in Colorado Springs with Travis' mom and step-dad Ray. Brady made a point to go outside and show off his football skills. Including tackling Grandma Janice when she was least expecting it!
Grandpa was great to spend so much time with Brady and teach him new things. My sister and I used this mini bow and arrow set when we were young. Brady thought he was pretty big stuff to be able to shoot after watching Grandpa shoot his big bow!
Oh yes, the water hose and mud! How many nights were we having "patio time" watching Brady play with water or mud or dirt or any combination of the three?! You know that was a good time!
It was sweet to see my parents with Brady. Funny thing happens when parents become grandpartents! LoveYall!

We had a great time in Colorado and can't wait to see everyone again soon!
