Funny Boy!

I guess Brady was still a little apprehensive about the big boy tub...I'm happy to report that since these pictures, he has decided it is ok to let go of the sides and splash around!

Also, Jordan got out his baby sports gear from back in the day when the Chicago Bulls and the 49ers were awesome, so here he is getting dressed up like a Build a Bear! Seeing Brady in Jordan's clothes makes me miss my little "Jordan pants." Luckily he is fun and funny (name that movie...) and not too hideous of a teenager yet, so I am certainly enjoying his current age and I will try not to cry for the past...

Photography Group

As many of you readers may know, I have been working on my photographing skills in a group with Cami every other week during the summer. Most all my readers are actually in the group and thus will have already seen this collage, but for the 2 of you who haven't, here is Brady showing his awesome sitting up skills, chewing skills and playing skills. The object of this class (if I can remember since I am backtracking and it has been a while...) was to take pictures of the same thing from many different angles and then make a collage. Photoshop is not really my friend yet, so the pictures probably could have been edited and such and I just made the collage with Picasa. Anyway, the class has been so fun and Cami is a very knowledgeable, patient, and gracious teacher. We took a little break to get back to school, but I am excited to resume. Our assignment for next time is to take a picture of every color of the rainbow. I think Cami has a blog that has all of our assignments to date in case you are interested. It has really helped to work on one specific thing at a time and have a fun purpose too!

Brace Yourselves...

Everyone brace yourselves because there is going to be a slew of new posts coming your way. I've been neglecting this little blog due to back to school, preschool starting, football games, and of course cute Brady. It has been so nice to have an excuse (nursing) to sit down and do nothing and even watch a little TV. I forgot what an awesome excuse babies are for getting you out of a plethora of things! Anyway, I thought I better backtrack a bit fill you in on the last happenings of our summer. First in a series of 7 blogs (isn't this fun, it's like a BBC mini series) is our JBC to Thanksgiving Point. I love the gardens there and the Children's garden is awesome. We went on a day that was threatening to rain, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Also, thanks to Cami for buying a pass so we could all get in half price! In the following slide show you will see Allyson in her most hideous old swimsit, Brady and Gabe "playing", Penny loving the water, Brady not loving the water, the kids playing in the cute little stream that is probably just for boats, Juju and Ally joined at the hip exploring, and Brady doing obsenities. Here goes!
