Brody's lawn care service and Emery turns 7 months

Brody is completely obsessed with lawn care - mowing, weed eating, and blowing! He does it all day, inside and outside, and talks about it non-stop! He has quite the imagination, too. Here are a few pics from his lawn care service...

Sometimes he wears his "cowboy hat" because that is what Papa and Mr. Steve wear when they mow...

This is the "blower"!

I got a picture with him wearing my pink cowboy hat...

Sometimes we all need headbands to work too!

This is the best...we have the weed eater, necklace (not sure why he needs that, but he does sometimes!), headband and cowboy hat!

Nice tattoos too!

This was from the first night Brody had a big boy bed - we found him asleep on the floor before we went to bed!

Playing outside with Lathan

Emery is 7 months old now! She is a much happier baby!  She doesn't like it when her Mama leaves the room or leaves her at all!   She weighs about 17 pounds and is sleeping about 11 or 11.5 hours at night, with 2 to 3 naps. She eats fruit, veggies, cereal and yogurt, and loves snacks, especially MumMums and graham crackers! She can scoot across the room, but not officially crawl - soon!

So happy!!!

We went to a pancake breakfast on Saturday and got to play and meet Santa...

Brody wouldn't sit on his lap!

At least Emery is looking at the camera!

Jessica and I make this tutu for Emery for a picture we are taking soon...






Saturday night, we took Brody to the UCA game, and got to meet Bruce D. Bear!  Like Santa, he wouldn't get his picture taken with him!


We had fun at the game though!

Halloween 2012 and Brody's big boy bed!

We had a great Halloween!!Emery was a ladybug, but she stayed home with Grandma and Papa, while Jay and I took Brody, who was a surgeon, trick or treating!  Brody had so much fun!

We went to Jay's office to treat or treat around lunch...

Jessica and Emery

We had chili dogs and frito pies before trick or treating, and Grandma and Papa and Caleb and Jessica joined us...

Getting ready for surgery...

We met some friends who live real close to us, and we all went trick or treating together.  Brody was very good at only taking 1 piece of candy and always saying "thank you"!  What a gentleman! 

Eating smarties...Brody liked to open the candy as soon as we got it!  Suckers were his favorite!

Brody liked going to the houses with Jessica!

And now for the Big Boy Bed!  We had to do it since he was climbing in and out, and it was been quite the challenge!  He does love it, and sleeps well in it at night, but naps are a different story.  I think he has maybe taken 1 nap in a week in there.  The rule is he has to stay in his room, but he usually ends up playing instead of sleeping.

So proud of it!

Emery likes it too!

We went to the fire station today with the Playgroup Pals.  It was a lot of fun!

Brody and Elle loved this little "car"!
