Helping Papa Work

Brady is not even 2 yet, and already has his first tool belt, fully equipped with hammer, level, ruler, tape measure, chalk line, flashlight, hard hat, and safety goggles. We finally got started on building a storage shed in the backyard so that we can close in our garage to make room for Addison. Brady has really enjoyed helping his Papa work. I just wanted to share some of the pictures with you!!

Easter 2009

Just wanted to share some pictures from Easter with you all! Sunday was a busy day for us. First, we went to church together as a famil, which was nice. We haven't done that in quite a while. Then we went over to Chris' parents house for lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt!! Brady found lots of eggs, some of which had money in them, which he later got to put in his piggy bank that his Papa and Nana gave him!! We stayed there and played until about 5:00pm then came home and fought to keep Brady awake until 8:30, since he didn't have a nap all day!!! He made it until after 8:30 by playing on his new Hot Wheels Trike that the Easter Bunny brought him...It's too cute. His little legs aren't long enough to reach the pedals yet, but he loves to ride it. He rides it inside the house. Wherever mommy goes, Brady and his trike are right behind her!!! He also loves to ride it outside, especially in the grass and make mommy push him!! Not much fun for mommy, but he loves it!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!! Never forget the reason we actually celebrate it!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!

IT'S A....

Well, we found out this morning that we are going to be welcoming a healthy baby GIRL in August!!! We are so excited! Brady is going to have a little sister!
We've decided on the name Addison Leigh O'Quinn!! We'll keep you updated on any baby news and I'll try to do better at posting on my blog!!! Love to you all!

Christmas 2008

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted anything. So, the next few posts are going to be catching everyone up through pictures. Brady got lots of wonderful gifts for Christmas. He got a set of puzzles, which he loves to dump out into the floor. He also got a Bounce and Spin pony. He's not quite into using it to learn with, but he does like to get on and ride the horsey. He also got an inflatable bus ball pit. He has learned that he can flip it over on it's side while he's inside and thinks it is so funny when he does. His favorite gift, which we will someday pay Uncle Lee and Uncle Chris back for, is Elmo Live. This is an Elmo doll that talks, sings, and dances. He could play with this all day if we'd let him, but for those of you who have heard Elmo's voice, know that listening to Elmo all day would drive any adult in his/her right mind insane!!!!

Baby #2 is on the way!!!

Just thought we'd share the news with all of our friends and family--Brady is going to be a BIG BROTHER in August!!! Yes...Baby #2 is on the way. We went to the doctor yesterday. Everything looked great! Our due date is August 5th, 2009. We are unbelievably excited and a little bit nervous about having 2 small children!! Life is really going to change and get busier for us now!!! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Halloween 2008

As you can see Brady was Cookie Monster for Halloween. He actually loved his costume, which kept him very warm on the cool Halloween night. Jill, Michael, Ben, and Hannah came from Midway to go trick or treating with us. We all had a blast. Brady even got to carry his very on pumpkin!! Chris was in Effingham County at a football game and we missed him very much, but we had a ball without him. Our friend Dane came over and cooked hotdogs for all the adults, with the help of Michael, which we were all very greatful for!!! We got to see some very interesting costumes and some that weren't so interesting (or should I say...appropriate!!) We can't wait for next year.

PumpkinParty 10/26/2008

We went to the Kennedy's Annual Pumpkin Party and hung out with all of our friends. We all got to carve pumpkins, which Brady wasn't too sure about! He did stick his hand inside the pumpkin once or twice while Chris was cleaning out the "guts." He enjoyed handing us the tools needed to carve the pumpkin. But, his most favorite part of the day was riding the Georgia Bulldog that sits on their back porch. He also loved eating a sugar cookie with orange icing, which he managed to get all over him!! All in all, it was a wonderful day of food and fellowship with our friends!!!
