Brodie's "Real" Birthday

As you know, we had Brodie's "Mickey Mouse Birthday Party" 2 weeks early this year since we were due with Tristan the day after Brodie's real birthday. I was actually surprised how well Brodie understood this...he kept saying "I'm not 3 yet...". He knew he wouldn't turn 3 until his "real birthday". He also knew that his little brother would be here around his birthday so he was also excited about that! So...when we got up that morning I told him it was his birthday, he was so excited...he said "Yay! I'm 3!!" (as he jumped up and down). We asked what he wanted for breakfast and he picked cinnamon rolls :). We went to Red Robin for lunch to celebrate with family and a couple friends.

Mommy made cupcakes and Red Robin brought a sundae...lucky boy :)

Brodie,

I can't believe our little boy is 3 today. My heart is full as I think of the joy you bring to our lives daily. It seems like yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital and now you have become our little boy who is full of life and laughter yet still with a sensitive heart, that melts mine. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you and love you so much. We pray that you continue to grow and love Jesus with all our heart. You are so passionate, what a blessing it will be to see you as a big brother. :)

Love,

Mommy

Peanut Fest

This was 2 days before Mommy's due date so luckily Aunt Dana was glad to ride the rides with Brodie. :)

Brodie was concentrating on driving...I think Aunt Dana was having the most fun. haha

Boys being boys....

My knights in shining armor....:)

I had a couple boxes and I jokingly wrapped one around Brodie and said "this can be your armor". Welll....Daddy got out the scissors and markers and you can see the rest...:)

Yes, the nursery is complete except for 2 pictures Daddy has painted that are going in there. (They are drying in the garage and will hopefully be ready to put in there tomorrow).

Brodie's 1st trip to the Dentist

Today was a busy day of appointments. We had our 39 week doctors visit this morning for the baby. All was good, just waiting on little man to decide he's ready to meet the world. :) We then took Brodie to get a haircut. Finally, we had Brodie's 1st dentist appointment!

We took him to a pediatric dentist, at place called "Children's Dental World". It was very kid friendly, the dentist was very nice and Brodie did soo good. Today was just another reminder of how 'big' my little boy has gotten. Brodie immediately loved all of the "Incredibles" posters and picked out an orange toothbrush. They had headphones on the dentist chair and tv's on the ceiling so Brodie kicked back and watched some. He did great while she cleaned/brushed his teeth, then the dentist came in and gave a good report and answered any questions we had. Here's a few pic from today...
