Brody's weekend away!

Brody went to stay in Wynne with Gram and Pop this weekend. He had a great time playing on the farm and with his cousins Tom and Austin! I ran the Race for the Cure in Little Rock on Saturday morning, and then Jay and I went out Saturday night for a date. We went to a charity art auction benefiting the hospital. It was nice to be out together, and we met some new people too. It was nice to get some things done around the house and spend some time together, but we missed our baby and were so ready to see him on Sunday!!

Here are some more pics from this past week...





New tennis shoes!

We made a cake last week, and Brody was a big help! We used pumpkin instead of eggs and oil, so don't worry - I didn't give him raw eggs to eat! The batter tasted great, but the cake...not so much!





Trying on our new hat!

We have been having play dates with our new friends that live really close to us. Tanner and Brody have the same birthday! It is fun to get them together. Jay and I really like Tanner's parents too!

Of course, they always want to play with the same toy!! I think they will get into plenty of trouble over the next few years!!

New camera!

Our week started out pretty good. I got my new camera in, so here are some pics from the week...



My "mad face"! He probably wanted to go outside!

See - happy now!

We love having lunch with Kara!



Brody learned how to drink out of a straw from a capri sun!

Look - an airplane - see it?!?

MMMMMMmmmmmmm!

Playing with the water - it has been hot here!











Yea - it finally rained here!! Brody loves playing in the rain!

So that was the first half of the week, and then it all went downhill. We have all been sick! Brody started with diarrhea on Wednesday, and then I woke up that night vomiting and so sick. Luckily, my mom was able to come Thursday morning as soon as I called so she could take care of Brody. That afternoon - Brody started vomiting! That night, Jay started!! Luckily, my mom hasn't gotten sick yet! She was a huge help though - I couldn't have done it without her- thanks Gram! It did take several days for us to get over this bug, and Brody woke up again last night throwing up. Hopefully he is done and better now though!

Gram taking care of Brody - poor sick baby!

We felt so bad!

Saturday, we decided we felt like getting out, so we went to a little bit of the UCA game. After Brody had diarrhea and tiny bit of vomit, we decided to leave. Once in the car - Brody puked all over himself and the new carseat! He felt so bad - apparently the game was NOT a good idea!

We hope you feel better sweet boy!

Quick trip to Wynne

Gram came to visit last Wednesday and kept Brody while I ran, rested, and cleaned - it was a nice break and they had tons on fun together! Jay had a course in Memphis on Friday, so we were planning on spending the night in Wynne on Thursday night. Gram took Brody with her on Thursday so he could be in the car for his nap, and I waited on Jay to finish work. I had a nice afternoon of shopping and cleaning while Brody got to play with Gram and Pop and his cousins!



Playing outside with Gram...


And Pop!

There are tons of things to ride there, so Brody loves it!

Saturday night, Lathan and Landon played baseball at UCA, so we went to see them.

Ginger was nice enough to share her diet coke with Brody! He recently learned how to drink out of a straw, so this was a ton of fun.

Eating yogurt and cheerios

Forget the spoon, I'll use my hands!

Yes - a huge mess, but very fun!

Almost bedtime...I've got my paci and hippo!

Kissing hippo!
