happy bama times day!!!!!

 

 

last week when i picked brady cole up from school, he kept talking about bama times. i had no clue what he was talking about and just thought he was being silly. he mentioned it again a couple of days later, and i finally realized what he meant. he was actually talking about valentine's that he had made/painted at school. how cute is that? we hope everyone has a "happy bamatimes day!" we're off to eat our bamatime dinner and to a mardi gras parade afterwards.

gulf breeze zoo

 

 

 

 

we recently took a trip over to the gulf breeze zoo. we had lots of fun and brady cole was all into it. he loved pretty much all the animals too. it's a great zoo that we had never been to, so we'll definitely go back for another visit in the future. we enjoyed a little train ride and got to see zebras, hippos, gorillas and all sorts of different types of deer. i saved the picture for the tiger all by himself. he obviously didn't like us looking at him b/c right after i shot this picture of him, he got up, walked to the fence,and squirted tee tee out of his hiney all over buger and brady cole and just kept walking. what a stinker!!!! it was hilarious, but a little gross too. luckily, i didn't get a squirt but i grabbed the baby wipes and helped them clean up afterwards.

this is the result when....

 

i hear "mommy, dat sun burn my eyes!" he prefers my sunglasses over his.

all smiles

 

i think he likes his new "arnge" boots

please excuse the hair, he was still sporting his "bed head" before his hair was brushed

brady cole's favorite

 

 

in one of the previous post, i mentioned that his geotrax is one of his favorite things to do. he loves it so much, and it's likely that he will talk about them in conversation any time he may see you. he's not hesitant to talk about it at all. he spends much of his time playing his geotrax. he even had to take a litle pamphlet to school that came in the box of one of his choo-choo's and show his teacher different types of geotrax this week.

saying "boo"

 

 

he loves to hide and jump out and say "boo." instead of saying that he wants to hide from me, he says, "mommy, i wanna say boo." which means that he wants to hide. he loves hiding behind our couch too. silly boy!

happy 2009

 

 

 

we didn't do too much to ring in the new year other than sleep since brady cole hasn't been feeling well, so we took him to the hangout for a little while last night. we had appetizers while brady cole got a little dancing in. he's such a flirt and you can tell by that huge smile on his face that he was loving every bit of dancing with our waitress.

sleeping under the tree

 

 

 

he crashed one night this past week under the tree. he was a sleepy boy and wasn't feeling too hot!

Christmas Day at Yai Yai and PawPaw's

 

 

brady cole and letson racked up again on christmas day. brady cole's favorite part was actually opening his "pesents." when he ran out he would be quick to see if cousin needed some help. brady cole got spike the dinosaur which he is still a little unsure of at times, a big wheel, airplane for his geotrax, an easel, portable dvd player, and lots of other goodies from yai yai and pawpaw. i have to say his favorite is probably the airplane for his geotrax. he would play with that thing all day if you would let him. it's really cute and buger and i both enjoy playing his geotrax with him. i'll have to take a picture of his "set up" one day. we've been hit with the cooties at our house this past wk, so brady cole has been a little under the weather. he got RSV and had to take his "breeeeth teatments" as he would call them. we tried not to let him run around and play too much since he had some wheezing going on, so yesterday was the first time he's been out of the house in a while. the radio flyer scooter that kaka and dayle bought him has been great this week, b/c he's been able to ride that inside. he loves it and rides it all over the house. he says "look me, ride my cooter."

Tis the Season of JOY

hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. sorry for all of the posting, but i was a little behind and still have many more pictures to post, so stay tuned. we've had a pretty busy week and my aunt/uncle and grandparents have been down visiting at my parent's house since monday. we'll be getting together with buger's family soon. it's so hard to make the trip to birmingham now during christmas, so we celebrate after christmas with them. have a great weekend......

santa was good to brady cole

 

 

 

brady cole's big things from santa were his bicycle that he asked for numerous times, table and chairs and matching book case. he got excited when he saw everything and some of his first comments were..."holy mokes" and "my like that bicycle."

getting ready for santa

 

 

 

after we got home from aunt shelly's house, brady cole was excited about putting cookies out for santa on his new plate that kaka and dayle bought us. he was so cute getting it ready. buger wasn't home at the time b/c he was working at the station, but after brady cole went to sleep he got to come home for a couple of hours and then had to go back to the station for the rest of the night. he was back home the next morning in enough time to see brady cole wake up and check out his "pesents" though. when buger came home for a couple of hrs to play santa, he decided that santa needed some milk, so he put a little milk in santa's mug and laid it on it's side to make it look like santa spilt his milk. little did we know that it was going to be a huge hit the next morning. brady cole thought that was the funniest thing ever and had to tell everybody that day that "santa pilt his milk" and he is still talking about it.

Christmas Eve

 

 

 

the past two years we have gone to brad and shelly's on christmas eve to eat chilli and have birthday cake in celebration of letson's birthday. this year we let the boys open gifts that they got one another, eat their chilli/birthday cake, get baths and put their cute matching jammies on that yaiyai and paw paw bought them in an attempt to get cute pictures. as you can see it didn't work. they wanted to roll around in the floor and do flips over letson's chair instead. isn't that what kids do though? they're really funny and entertaining.
