Easter Baskets!!

Easter was a ton of fun this year because Brody actually got excited about his basket and finding eggs around the house. He walked out into the family room saw the baskets and went right over to James's bowl with the yummy candy in it and wanted to eat it. He then moved onto his basket pulled the clothes out and started hunting for eggs. He was very cute to watch. Zach's interest was the grass in the basket and he didn't care about anything else.

We had a very relaxing and spiritual filled day watching conference and listening to the wise council of the prophet and other church leaders. They are very inspired men. After conference we had an Easter dinner over at Pam's house with my mom and Raquels family who came down from UT. It was fun to have everyone together and it made our Easter that much more special.

Eggs

I'm a little late on posting about Easter, but what is new!! This year we did egg painting with just our little family. Which consisted of Brody and myself!! Brody loved decorating the eggs and did really well at keeping them on the wand. He would dip it in one color and then go on down the line. Needless to say we had a lot of green/blue colored eggs which looked pretty cool if I do say so myself.

Don't break the concentration!!

Train Park

Cool looking firetruck

I have mentioned many times that Brody loves trains so for his birthday we wanted to take him to this cute train park. Weekend after weekend something came up or it was raining so we were never able to go until a week or so ago. He was so cute when he got out of the car and saw a bunch of big train cars. Everywhere we went he migrated to the train cars it was very funny. We took a ride around the park on a little mini train which Brody loved and couldn't get enough of the engine. They had a pretty cool looking fire truck at the park so we got to see that and have free ice cream. The park was really nice with places to have picnics, great toys to play on, a model train building, and of course train rides and trains to tour. Brody loved it all and it was fun to see him get all excited.

Bath Time

Brody when he was a little guy.

I realized I hadn't taken any pictures of Zach having a bath so here he is 7 mo old. I'm such a bad mom. For some reason I thought they looked a little more alike in these pictures. Maybe it was the double chins!!

Look at those rolls!!

Catching some Z's

Brody isn't one for taking naps anymore, but somedays he just can't help himself. He was outside playing with his train in the nice warm sun and pretty soon I couldn't see his hand moving anymore. I went to check on him and sure enough he had been lulled to sleep. I thought it was adorable so I had to share.

Brody's 3!!

Brody's Train Cake

On January 21st my big boy turned 3! We are a little late on posting for his b-day. I've been waiting to get the pictures from James' computer, but he is always on his computer. . . so this will have to do for now. We had a small little party for Brody with family and neighbors from next door. Brody loves loves loves trains so I attempted to make a train cake. It was a little sad in places, but over all very cute. Brody thought it was the best thing ever and that is what really counts. He didn't even want to open presents because it would take him away from his train cake. He was super cute!!
A few things about Brody: He loves anything to do with trains. He likes Thomas movies, the Polar Express, and just about any movie that has a train. Brody has learned how to work the computer and loves playing games and doing little activities. He also enjoys being outside playing at the park, or riding his bike. I just got him a soccer ball and he has quite the kick going on. Brody is such a happy little guy with an easy smile and fun personality!! He's my little cuddler and I'll take that as long as I can. We love you Brody and are so happy you are a part of our family. Happy Birthday Big Guy!! : )
