Zoo Day

Are those things real???

I'm almost as tall as a dolphin!

Where are all the Bears?

This is pretty fun!

Look mom!

Brady got the opportunity to go to the zoo with the boys from his day care. It sure looks like he had a fun time! Thank you Miss Lisa for including Brady in the fun day! :)

A VERY busy Easter Weekend

Happy Birthday Grandma! We went to the Sox game on Friday night to celebrate Grandma's birthday. The Sox game was a good game till the 7th inning when the Twins scored 7 runs! That really made the 30 degree temps feel REALLY cold! But check out the hat Brady got at the game...GO SOX!

Happy Easter. Brady had a great Easter at the Behringer Farm. We woke up and did a few Easter hunts, went to church, had some good food, and got to play with the family. Here are a few pics from all the fun times! What did I get in the Easter baskets? This is so much fun!

Check me out mom...I am looking good!

Mom's photo opportunity.

What a little cutie Dusty and myself have. We are so lucky! Brady is such a good boy and he is growing bigger and stronger everyday. We continue to work on his speech and love seeing him learn and recognize new things. Brady and myself count the ducks on our lake every morning when we get up and of course give the morning squeeze and kisses. What a blessing we have been given to have Brady in our life and baby #2 will be just as big of a joy.

Easter Egg Hunt @ Church

Easter Egg Hunt!!!

Here I go!

Move over kiddos!

My Boys...from Daycare.

(Brady, Christian, Bryce, & Caleb)

Church had an Easter Egg hunt in between services this week and Brady was a mad man going for the eggs! :) We had to wait a little bit and then then they said go...he then stood there and watched the kids! Ha! So we coaxed him a little and he got the idea. It was pretty fun!

What a FUN weekend!

Lets go swimming!

CHEESE!

I'm a big boy who just went down a slide by myself!

Big bucket just poured out...watch out!

This weekend was pretty fun. I had the day off on Friday to see Dusty's track girls compete at indoor state. Before we left for state Brady and myself did a little shopping. I got Brady a new swim suit and a pair of shorts. We then saw a cute little green dress with flowers. Brady really wanted to buy something for his little sister, how could I say no! We then got lunch and headed home for a quick nap and off to Illinois Wesleyan. The high jumper cleared opening height but didn't make it any further. His hurdler did very well. She was ranked 6th but ended up getting 3rd in state! Pretty impressive I might say! Ian and Rm met us at the meet and we just hung out for the time in between races. During all the excitement there was a long jumper who broke her FEMUR! Ewww! So that made everything slow down a little bit.

Saturday I was invited to Valpo for a softball game in which there was going to be an alumni presentation but they cancelled everything because of the weather. So we decided to stay home. We then got the opportunity to go to an indoor water park/hotel! How fun was that! Brady had so much fun and he did so well. He went down the slides and even one slide that was probably too fast for him...only cried for a sec after bumping his head(whoops). We went on the lazy river and through all the fun things that squirt at you. Daddy even enjoyed the BIG slide where he tipped over every time he came out of the tube!

Overall it was a great weekend with such great family time for us. It seems like things always go so fast and by the time we unwind at home, we are asleep on the couch. I thank everyone for all the help and support they have shown as I have transitioned my career to where it is at today. It has been a rough couple of years but I think we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and starting to enjoy life!

Firestation

We went to visit Grandpa John at the fire station and Brady loved the fire trucks! He was able to get in all the different truck and turn the lights on. He was also able to honk the horn and pretend to even drive!

FUMBLE....

Brady and Daddy getting some football practice time on Sunday. If you notice, Brady says fumble...even though he doesn't fumble! :)

Boss Birthday Party

Aunt Sarah, Brady, Grandma, & Aunt Kimberly
John Jr., Austin, Brady, Josiah, Kaitlyn, Daylia, and Kruesie

We had the Boss Birthday Party this past weekend. All 7 great grandchildren were able to attend which was pretty special. By July we will have a total of 9 under 3 (great grandchildren). Lets just say the Boss's are contributing to the baby boom!

Brady working hard!

Brady came to work with me while Dusty did some moving of boxes for my dad. He took over my desk and made himself at home. He typed up a word document and looked at all the pictures I have on the computer.

Valentines Day

Brady wearing the slippers we got in our hotel room! Enjoying the pool.

Valentines Day

We headed out of town for the Valentine's weekend. It was nice to get away and have a little retreat. Brady had a great time swimming and Dusty and myself got some much needed rest! We got the "sweetheart" package which included slippers, buffet breakfast, and chocolate strawberries and champagne. What a treat to have such pampering
