GOIN’ ON A COLOR HUNT…

A couple weeks ago, Brody and I went on a “Color Hunt!” No frills but SUCH a blast! And, leave it to my B.O.Y. to find dog poop for brown and some sort of hair ball for grey!  Blech! Regardless of the roses that he stopped to smell, I loved that we took time to enjoy God’s beautiful world as we went on our Color Hunt!

And coming home and downloading the pictures was just as much fun as the actual hunt. He loved looking at his findings over and over again!

ADMIRATION.

A few weeks ago after ryley got home from school, we pulled the basketball hoop down to the curb and got brody’s little one out so they could shoot some hoops together! Brody looks up to Ryley you can just tell, and I loved watching them play together outside!

How I love these two boys and their precious relationship!

Happiness is CELEBRATING the little things!!!

.. . ,,.Why in the world would we make a big deal about Brody’s half birthday?

Well….why not!?!?!?

On Sat May 11th, my little man turned TWO & a half! And, if you were ever a kid, you know that the number with the half next to it is VERY different from just the number. and we have celebrated his half bdays since he was 6 months, and again at 18 months. So, in honor of my big Two and a half year old, we did LOTS of little celebrating. It started Friday the day before his half birthday.  I took him to the park to play and we stopped at Sonic for lunch and a milkshake and a few other errands.

the next morning we woke up and had yummy donuts and fruit for breakfast (brody’s fave) and after lunch we set up the pool and water table to play in the water!

then we all took a walk up to the park to play

then we came home to bbq some dinner and let brody open his little sussies (the girls picked him out a few dollar tree toys) (and I got him a couple pairs of summer pj’s)

then for dessert we had home-made strawberry shortcake! it was YUM!

For it only being a half birthday, Brody was SPOILED for sure! he had a weekend that would bring a smile to any Two and a half year old’s face! Oh how I love my little man!!! And, oh how I love celebrating with him…even the little things!!!
