Great winter weather!

This January has been so mild, and we have really gotten to enjoy the nice weather. Brody and I play outside for an hour or 2 almost every day! Jay has been off more weekends too, so we have enjoyed spending more time with him as well! Last weekend, we went to Little Rock to do some shopping and have lunch...



Having a "nack"!

Pizza for dinner!

We love Brody's smile! He is such a happy boy!



Brody likes moving the couch cushions, playing in the hole and sliding down the cushion

My "OHHHH" face!

Grandma and Papa came to visit for the day last week too! Brody still talks about "Apa" and the "nacks" they found in the car!



We went to a playgroup music class recently. The kids were relaxing and listening to the music and story - Brody wasn't so sure he wanted to lay down!

Ok, fine - I'll try it for 2 seconds!

Tanner and Madison came to play with us for a little while on Saturday

Happy Birthday to Hannah! Jay brought me a cake and flowers on Saturday and we cooked steaks for my birthday.

We worked on our fire pit we are building in our woods this weekend - we have a lot more to do, but it does work, and we are going to cook smores and hot dogs this next weekend!



Monday was my actual birthday - Brody and I spent the morning playing and having story time at the library, and then Pop and Gram came in the afternoon to play with us and take us all out to dinner. It was a great birthday!

Playing, singing, and bubbles!

We have had a good couple of weeks - I don't have pictures from everything, but we have had lots of playdates and have been to lots of places to play. JumpZone is one of Brody's favorites, and we have gone there twice in the past 2 weeks! He also still loves gymnastics and going to the gym to play while I work out.

We went to Wonder Place in Little Rock a couple weeks ago to play...







Breakfast with Daddy last weekend

Brody is playing in the bed with his animals and paci's!



Brody still doesn't watch much TV, but he loves the Bob the Builder intro song! He sings "Bob" really loud the whole time! He doesn't watch the whole episode, but loves the song! He also loves singing Jesus Loves Me - he says "Jesus" and "Bible" the whole time that I sing!

Bubble bath! Brody also loves saying "bubble"! He likes to pop my bubbles that I blow with gum too!



Playing with Gram and Tom - another word Brody is very good at is "Pop"! He says "Daddy" and "Pop" all day long wondering where they are! Pop came to visit us last week and we went there for 1 night this week, so he misses him!







Brody loves to blow out candles, and wants to several times a day!

Sweet boy! Drinking milk before bed!

Happy New Years 2012!

We had a great start to our New Year's weekend - Jay was off on Friday! We started the day out going to the gymnastics place for a playgroup playdate. We just started going to "playful parenting" gymnastics classes and Brody just loves it, so we had so much fun with Daddy!









Grandma and Papa came on Saturday and we opened more Christmas presents!



They kept Brody on New Year's Eve and we went to a movie and a nice dinner with Matt and Kara. We had a really great time!



On Sunday, we went to Wynne to Memaw's for a Howell Christmas. I didn't get a picture of everyone, but here is a great one of Brody and Memaw!

Brody, Daddy, and Papa

Brody just checking things out!

Back at home - playing with our toys in the great Arkansas weather!
