GO RAYS!!!

Grandma and Grandpa (or Baa as Brady calls them..yes, he calls them both the same thing!) sent Brady this Evan Longoria t-shirt so he'd have it in time for the World Series! Sometime last week I taught Brady how say "GO RAYS" while holding his arms up in the air..it's pretty cute and he thinks it's funny so he's always laughing when he does it. Let's hope the Rays can pull out a win tonight so we can tie up the series.

wheeeeeee!!

HELLO!!!

Here he is doing his "GO RAYS". (on a side note, I just realized that when I look at this picture he looks like our friend Jim Terry!!...hmmm, funny).

MEET BROBEE!!

Brady loves the show YO GABBA GABBA. It's a weird show to say the least, but Brady is mesmerized by it. There's this guy dressed in an orange jumpsuit with an orange wig who has a silver case of "monsters" that come to life. They sing and dance and always have a good message. There are also segments that have kids dancing and/or singing and doing "cool tricks". I believe there are five "monsters", I don't know all of their names, but there is a red guy, a blue girl, a pink girl, a yellow robot type and there's also Brobee, the green striped guy. I was in Target(in Miami) over the weekend and lo and behold, who did see?? BROBEE and a few of the other characters so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get one for Brady!! Brady likes this show so much that I can actually cook dinner without having him under my feet, which is nice!! It comes on twice a day so I record one episode for emergencies and I let him watch the other episode. I guess this show is starting to become popular because I just read or saw that a DVD has come out, so I'll have to get that for sure!! After thinking about it, I've decided that it reminds me of a show my brother and I used to watch called "The Electric Company" that was on in the early 70's. Anyway, without further ado:

HERE'S BROBEE!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention that this Brobee talks and sings!! Brady is pushing his hand to get him to talk.

TIME OUT!

I've been putting Brady in time for a few weeks now when he doesn't behave. I think he gets that he's done something I don't like, but I'm not so sure he knows it's a bad thing to go to time out because when he starts misbehaving and I ask "do you want to go to time out", he responds with, "yeah", with a smile on his face. Of course this usually makes me laugh, so I have to be careful about that. This morning I put him in time out 3 times within the first hour he was up!! The first two times he wasn't listening when I told him "no" and the last time was when he threw one of his blocks at Chelsea (the dog) and hit her square in the face. He definitely knew I was upset with him then. (this throwing incident was after he had dropped his shoe from upstairs and Chelsea was laying on the landing waiting for us so she got hit then too!!) Amazingly he started behaving like a perfect angel after the 3rd time in time out...he even listened when I said "no" to him! This parenting a toddler, or almost toddler is going to be fun stuff, I can tell!!

BLOGETTE MEETING!

We found out that one of the families from my Yahoo group would be in town so we decided to get together for dinner. We went to Macaroni Grill to meet Karin and Ryan (Ryan's dad had to stay home and work) and we had a great time! It was great to finally meet since you start feeling like you know these people that you "talk" to on a regular basis, not to mention that we watch each other's children grow up through our blogs!! Anyway, the boys were cute...I wish they could have interacted a bit more though. Ryan is as cute in person as he is on his blog, but he was a bit more shy than I anticipated he would be. Ryan had just turned 2 last Wednesday and the waiter over heard us talking about that so he brought out a cake and sang for him!! The boys LOVED their cake and ice cream!!

COX FARM

On Sunday we went to Cox Farm with Margi, Mark and their two boys, Ty and Blake and Kristi and her two kids, Kyle and Kayla (her husband Ken had drill weekend). We had such a good time and the weather couldn't have been better! There were lots of slides and of course pumpkins! There was a great hay ride too. We could have stayed much longer than we did but since we were having dinner with Karin and Ryan (who we had never met before) we needed to get Brady home for a nap. I'm already looking forward to next year!

LOOK, it's farmer Brady!!

No smile, but still cute!

ICE CREAM FOR DINNER!!

We went out for ice cream for dinner as our Familiversary celebration and I'm pretty sure Brady was in favor of it!! I decided that since it was a special day that Brady should get something other than the normal chocolate/vanilla swirl in a cup, so I got him some brownie sundae in a waffle cone bowl. When Alan realized what I ordered for him he says (in a snide tone), "oh, he's not going to eat all of that"...well, he ate about 3/4 of it and he probably would have finished it, but we had to get going because I had to go play soccer. (the rest of it it's the freezer for tonight). Then to continue our celebration we went to PF Chang's for dinner last night. We've had a fun few days celebrating our special day!

He can't wait to dig in!

mmmm, this is good!

This is one of my favoite pictures of the two of us....just look at that adorable ice cream face!!
