Memorial Day Weekend

We have spent a lot of time outside this weekend. Yesterday, we took B and B to Deanna Rose. They had fun as usual, but poor Brody had a little bit of a reaction to the sunblock, so we didn't stay as long as we had hoped. Then we took them to Union Station to watch the fireworks last night. We had the best view and B and B loved them! As we were walking back to our car, they both kept saying, "Mommy, I liked those. Mommy, I liked those." They are going to have so much fun this year on 4th of July!

Playing Outside

We spent most of the day outside yesterday doing yard work, taking walks, going to the park, and playing in the backyard. It was such a beautiful day! Here's a few pics Daddy took of B and B in the backyard last night after dinner with their ice cream cones.

Mother's Day Weekend

We have had a very busy weekend! On Thursday night, we went to Maryville for their city wide garage sales. We had a very successful garage sale and I even got some great bargains at some of the other garage sales. Saturday afternoon when we got home, Grandma Madden, Lexie, Avorey, and Tavia came over for a barbeque. Today, for Mother's Day, Daddy and Brynn brought me breakfast in bed:) We spent most of the day outside playing with B and B. It was a nice relaxing Mother's Day. We hope everyone had a great Mother's Day, especially Grandma Farnan and Grandma Madden!

2 1/2 Years Old

This past week Daddy, Brody, and Brynn all have had colds. Brody spiked a 102.5 fever Friday morning, so we took him into Urgent Care that afternoon. He was diagnosed with an ear infection and was started on antibiotics. We took Brynn in too for her horrible cough, but they said hers was just viral. Brody gave me quite the scare when we got home from the clinic. His fever spiked to 103.5. I gave him Motrin and Tylenol and immediately put him in the tub. I was crying while I was trying to get him cooled down and poor Brody was shivering and he looked at me and said, "Mommy, you crying. Mommy, you crying." I couldn't believe as horrible as he felt, he was worried about me crying. Other than them having colds, they are doing quite well. I am proud to say that they both know most of their shapes and we are working on colors. As much as I try, neither of them will count for me. I know that they know how to count, because the other week Brody was scolding Brynn and I hear him say, "Brynn, 1...2...3"! They both are talking in full sentences and talk a lot, especially Brynn. She seems to always be talking and tells the funniest stories! She is still very attached to her blanket and would drag it everywhere with her, if I would let her. Brody has been attached to his bolts (yes, metal bolts) that he has carried around for a couple weeks now. I can't even tell you how many times we have turned this house upside down looking for his bolts. B and B seem to get busier and busier the older they get. The other night we went for a walk and they both wanted to run instead of ride in the wagon and they both ran almost a whole mile! I have started running too with Truman. I told Bryan that I need to get in better shape if I am going to be chasing after them all summer!




We took these pics last night. I had to laugh when I finally found Brody. I thought that he had gotten out of his crib. This is classic Brynn sucking on her two middle fingers with her security blanket:)
