"Endergy"

We recently switched Brady from a crib to his "big boy" bed. Ever since we did that, he has been sleeping in until about 8:30. This morning I was still in bed when he wandered into our room. He crawled in and we snuggled for a little bit. The moments before falling asleep or when he has just woken up are the best ones for getting him to chat. He likes to talk about anything and everything. We talk about daddy, his friends, Cooper and Maggie, or whatever happens to be on his mind. Today we talked about how much he likes to sleep in his new bed and how comfy it is. He said that sleeping in his new bed gives him "endergy". He said that eating gives him "endergy" too...

Halloween Party

Happy Halloween! A few days before it was time to head out trick-or-treating we had a little party at our house. Brady and I had some of our favorite people (Tara, Jeff, Harmoni, Izzy, Amber and Isaac) come over to help us decorate cupcakes and eat lots of candy. The cupcakes turned out great, but the highlight of the evening was the dance party in the middle of my living room. I turned on some fast, upbeat kids music and they all went crazy! I was especially impressed with Isaacs crazy break-dancing abilities!

Family Time

Nate and I recently took a week of vacation. We headed up to the mountains for a little bit of family time. It is so easy to get caught up in our busy schedules, that I often forget how much we all really enjoy being together! While up in McCall we decided to go do a little exploring. We took Brady and Cooper to "Little Payette" lake. Brady was in awe of all the dirt, mud, and gnarly tree stumps. Cooper was just happy to be in the outdoors. After that, we went a little farther up towards Yellow Pine and found a creek. Cooper jumped right in for a swim and Brady spent nearly an hour just tossing rocks into the water. I love, love, love my family!
