little drummer boy

Brady loves to drum on daddy's drums. His musical talents continue to blossom. He is also starting to sing full songs like twinkle, twinkle little star and he even knows a few words to Taylor Swift songs........ maybe someday he will be a drummer in her band!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We made little cupid his hat so he could deliver all his Valentine's Day love and cheer. We hope you all have a very lovey day!

The story of Logan and the shrinking monkey - 1 month

Welcome home Logan Roo! We are so happy to finally have you here. This month has been such a roller coaster ride. Your big brother is excited to have you here most of the time, but sometimes gets a little jealous. I know that you will be the best of buds some day, it will just take some time. You are already sleeping better than Brady ever did and are smiling in your sleep. I know it is probably gas, but it sure is cute. You love to be cuddled and loved on and we love to do it. We have been giving you sun baths because you came home with a little jaundice. You seem to enjoy your brother serenading you when you are crying. We are so lucky to have you home and healthy. We love you little man and can't wait to watch you grow this year and many years to come.

We are so fortunate to live in Colorado and have beautiful places like Red Rocks to go to. We have a little musician on hand so I can't help but wonder if he will be performing on this stage some day. We came up here today with Great Grammy and Papa to check out the sights and have some lunch. We had a blast and Brady got worn out checking out all of the cool stuff. He especially enjoyed dancing to the music and the gigantic Red Rock that was in the restaurant we ate in.

Thanks to Great Grammy and Papa for a fun day and a wonderful lunch. We love spending Thursdays with you!

more than just an oven

Finally I feel like more than just an oven this time. Check out my baby picture and Logan's picture. There are some similarities!

little boys growing up

as i rocked brady to sleep for nap today i could not help but stare at his adorable face. those adorable little baby features of his face are starting to fade. i was so sad for a moment but so happy to, that i am able to spend the time rocking him to sleep for his naps. grateful that i am able to stay home and watch him grow into the wonderful person i know he will be.

the finished product

brady after a day of baking cookies and lots of icing

We had a great day today with Aunt Mo baking Valentine's Day cookies. We used Grandma Betty's cut out cookie recipe. A very unique one with Nutmeg. Those of you who have never had one of these cookies, you are missing out. Brady learned how to cut out cookies. Like normal Brady style he found he then changed it to his own unique way. Who needs a full cookie anyway? The end product is pretty and yummy! Thanks Aunt Mo for coming over today and spending time with us. We sure did have fun with you! Happy Valentine's Day!
