Brady's Room

Well we finally have gotten Brady's room all together...it took long enough! We went with an airplane theme (with some cars too...). It's hard to get good pics in a room but here goes:

I hope all you Mothers out there had a very special day on Sunday! I can say that my life has changed so much since we had Brady and I love every minute of it! Being a mommy is great! On Sunday I got up and did my training run and when I got home, Andy was starting to make me breakfast---well then we lost power so that idea went out the window! I got a beautiful card and a gift certificate to get a facial--I'm so excited to do that as I've always wanted to! Then we went out for lunch and did some things around the house. It was a nice and relaxing day with my boys!

Tulip Time!

We had a great day on Saturday! We headed to Tulip Time in Pella and were excited for Brady to experience it for the first time. All of the flowers looked amazing! We were able to meet up with our good friends Travis, Ashley and Tessa. We walked around and most importantly ate some yummy food! We spent a few hours there and then came home and rested up after our long day!

"Hey Tessa, look over here!"

Tessa looks a little annoyed with Brady...ha ha ha!

Here's a cute one!

Family time!

5 Months Old

On May 6th Brady turned 5 months old! We can't believe how fast it's going! He is such a good baby. At his 4 month check up the doctor wanted him to come in again around 5 months because they were concerned with how large his head measured at 4 months. Andy took him in yesterday and his head measured smaller than it did at his 4 month check up...the nurse said that maybe he was wiggling around when she measured last time...so all that worrying for a month for nothing! Oh well, at least he's okay!

Posing with the tulips

Pretty soon I'll be able to sit up all by myself!

Outside Fun!!

What great weather we had today! We took Brady outside for his first encounter with grass! He didn't seem to fazed by it. He did what he usually does when on the ground---legs up and rolled around!

Mommy, why do I have to wear this hat??

Baptism

Today Brady was baptized! It was a great day, the weather was perfect and church service was wonderful. Pastor Scott did a great job. Brady's sponsors were my brother and sister-in-law (Chris and Jessica), my brother Nick and Andy's brother Brad and sister-in-law Stephanie. After the church service we came back to our house to grill out, enjoy the weather and chit chat. My grandmas were also able to come so that made it even more special. Here are some pic:

Day Care-Free Week

We had a very busy week! Our daycare lady was gone Tuesday -Friday so Brady got to see lots of family this past week. On Tuesday, Grandma Cathcart came to watch Brady and they had a great time. Steph and Jaxson were able to come over too! Then on Wednesday Grandpa Petersen came to spend the day with Brady. Thursday he went to play with Jaxson again while Stephanie watched him. They were able to go to the park and Brady loved the swing! Then on Thursday afternoon we headed back to Kimballton as I had the day off on Friday and was getting my hair done back home. It was a really busy week but Brady loved spending time with his grandmas and family!
