The Big Man Turns 7!

Well, it's official....Brady is 7.  Oh, how the time flies (cue "Sunrise, Sunset").  Brady is such a fun, funny and loving kid.  He brings so much light and laughter to our family....and occasionally some inappropriate humor.  It's hard to believe that our once grumpy, hard-to-please, crying-all-the-time baby (Sorry Brady, just being honest!) has grown up to be such a fun, easy kid.  He makes us all laugh everyday and his teachers have even told us what a great sense of humor he has.  He's rarely serious, but when he is, you'll know it.  Every once in awhile, he'll just walk up and say, "I have to give you something."  He'll then proceed to give us a kiss or a hug and tell us he loves us.  I don't know how many times he's told me I'm the best mom in the world (especially on days we all know I'm not)....maybe he's using a little reverse psychology.  That sounds like something he'd do!  There's never a dull moment with this kid and we're so glad he's in our family!  We love you Brady!!!


Cute little guy!

When we asked Brady to pose for a picture with his siblings, he informed us that he felt like the Lincoln Memorial in that chair....hence the serious pose.  Part of us thought that was really weird and the other part thought it was pretty smart.  We were surprised he even knew what the Lincoln Memorial was!


It's so hard to get a normal picture out of this kid!


See what I mean?


There we go!  How can you not love that little face???

Brady always seems to get the short end of the stick when it comes to birthday parties, so we decided to throw him a real one this year.  He opted for a party at the movie theater (we didn't even know they did that).  On a side note, I've decided I don't like hosting birthday parties for kids under 10 in my own house.  It's just too crazy, too messy and too stressful.  It's so nice to go somewhere and have someone else do all the work.  The kids had a great time and a lot of fun!  What more can you ask for? 


We can officially call Project Birthday Party....a SUCCESS!

Another Blog....

So, I've been thinking about starting a food blog for awhile now.  I have a weird fascination with taking pictures of what I eat and thought a blog would be a fun way to keep a food diary of sorts.  It's not much right now, but feel free to head on over and check it out.  http://foodsi8.blogspot.com/
