Seriously...

we're not racist (one of my BFF's is black, well brown, but you get the point!)

Today at Arden B (clothing store) a black girl was ringing up my clothes and talking to Brody:

Girl: How old are you?
Brody: (holds up 3 fingers)
Girl: you're 3?! wow!
Brody: (shakes his head yes)
Me: Can you tell her your name?
Brody: (shakes his head no)
Me: :) Tell her your name, silly!
Brody: No! She looks too dark!

Luckily this nice girl didn't take offense to my 3 year olds comment, she thought it was pretty funny! I talk about wanting to be dark alot- especially during the summer, so I think that's where he came up with that idea! My bad!

Funny

Bobby just came out of our bedroom laughing. This is what was so funny:

Brody: where are you going?
Bobby: to take the movie back.
Brody: oh! mommy's going to babysit?

April 2010- The "zoom"

My in-laws got season passes to the zoo this year so we've been a few times. Brody loves it! Gavin has a fun time looking at all of the animals and pointing at them. Kids make everything so much more fun!

We've been on the carousel a couple of times and every time we get on Brody picks the same seat- the peacock that is a bench and doesn't move at all. He's so funny!

April 2010- Brody's First T-ball game

Brody had a blast playing T-ball this spring! He was on the Diamond backs. He had 6 games (or so?) the weather wasn't the best in April/May so about half of his games were either canceled or very cold. It was still a lot of fun watching him play!

He had a hard time getting the hang of the game at first- whenever another player on his team got ahold of the ball in the outfield he would go and tackle them. He thought of it like football :) He learned quickly that you don't tackle in baseball.

He also enjoyed playing in the dirt while in the outfield. While he was in the dugout he would climb the fence. He's a busy, fun little boy!

During the last few games his coach would pitch the ball to the kids instead of having them hit it off of the T. He loved it and did a great job!

He loved getting a ticket after the game to go pick out a treat at the snack bar. His favorite things to get were: hot dogs, laffy taffy, ring pops, chips, and drinks!

We can't wait until next spring to start T-ball again!!

While I'm on here...

I just had to log on to invite some friends to the blog (Shout out to Kev and Mindy!!). I decided I would let you all know that I am still a blogger! Woot woot! And, I have some major catching up to do... as you know, I consider this thing my journal! I will get on and update soon... promise! Lots of pictures from our fun, finally warm, summer!! We've been keeping busy in the sun!

On a side note: I bought a new bathing suit today. Love it! I also bought a cute beach hat (or, pool hat since I live... well, not even close to a beach) anyway, when Bobby got home from work I decided to try on my new little ensemble for him and as I was putting on the hat Brody shouted "Oh!! You look... like a cowboy! You should ride a horse!" Hilarious kid, I tell ya! Hilarious!

Brody,

I'm so proud of you!! (I tell you this all the time, and you love it!) I think it's important for you to know how awesome you are :) especially coming from your mama!!

We were reading a bedtime book tonight (Bernstein Bears... afraid of the dark) and you happened to notice the bears cool bunk bed. You told me you wanted one, which I already knew! You climbed all over them at R.C. Willey a couple of months ago! After you reminded me of wanting a bunk bed I decided to make a deal with you.

I told you that if you went to bed on your own in your own room (for 30 days!) I would buy you a bunk bed (Dad was at school, so hopefully he's cool with it!). YOU DID IT!! And, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!

Keep it up and you'll be in your new bunk bed "with a ladder" in no time!!

We love you, Bubbas!!

***Brody started sleeping in our bed when he was only 8 months old. I was desperate. For sleep. He is now 3 years and 2 months and for the first time ever has fallen asleep ON HIS OWN. I have always had to lay by him until he was asleep (unless he was in the car). I learned my lesson and now Gavin is a great sleeper! I will never do that again! Although, I do love to snuggle with my sweet boys!! Also, Brody just barely got rid of his bottle a few weeks ago. I know- I was bad with his habits! I have to learn somehow, right? Too bad I just didn't listen to people. It would've been so much easier- he only had it at bedtime. And, I'm only putting this stuff on the blog so that I can remember it!!!

Bobby and I (mainly Bobby) folded all of the white laundry and today Gavin got ahold of the nice organized basket that I had yet to put away. He was quiet for about 1 minute (yes, after 1 minute, I figured he must be getting into something) so I went into my bedroom and found him throwing out all of the clothes! Look at that grin!!
