Brady and Daddy like to work out together.

Royals Game

We went to a Royals game with my mom, sister, uncle Tim, and cousin Mary. We had a great time! It was Brady's first game and he loved it. He was really interested at first and stood and watched the teams warm up. We went and checked out the kids zone. Brady didn't really like the carousel so he kept a tight grip around my neck the whole time. He played a little Putt-putt with my cousin Mary. Brady received a certificate for his first Royals game. He was very excited about that. Brady also got on the jumbo screen 3 times, probably because they thought that he was SO cute. Finally, on the third time we managed to get a picture of it. Overall, we all had a really fun time.

Picnic and Disc Golf

We went on a picnic and played disc golf. It was so fun, but so hot. Kaya got to run around and enjoy being outside. She did really well until a deer ran by. She went after the deer, I went after her, and then Timothy went after both of us. Steph just stood where she was and laughed. We eventually found Kaya and went back to playing. I wasn't too happy at Kaya, but I couldn't help laughing about it.

When we put Brady to bed he for some reason moves straight to the floor and sleeps right in front of the door. This is what I found when I went upstairs.

Vacation to Florida!

We went on a vacation to Daytona Beach, Florida. It was Brady and my's first vacation with the DeArmond clan. We had a lot a of fun.
Brady loved waking up to his Grandparents and Aunt Brianne every morning. He got to play with his cousins everyday and had a great time.
He was scared of the ocean at first, but once he got used to it he played in the sand and splashed in the water.
He also enjoyed his phone calls to his Uncle Keith, but we think that he now believes that Keith is in the phone.
He loved the kiddie pool and went down the slide many times. In the big pool we had to keep a close eye on him because he tried many times to squirm out of your arms and put his face in the water. He loved jumping off the side into the pool and even tried to jump where you wouldn't catch him. Brady also loved lounging in the lazy river.
We had a great vacation and here are some pictures from our trip.

Brady's New Backpack

My mom and I were on a hunt to find Brady a kid's backpack. We were about to give up on the search when my mom found two. She held up a Thomas the Train one and a Toy Story 3 one to give Brady his choice. He chose the Toy Story one. I liked the Thomas one better so I said "He is one, he doesn't know what he wants." I then preceded to put the Thomas the Train backpack on Brady. He didn't want anything to do with it. My mom again asked Brady which one he wanted. He again chose the Toy Story backpack. Grandma put it on him and he waltzed down the aisle.

Timothy is not always to blame

Since living with Timothy I assumed that if I didn't do it Timothy was the one to blame. It has usually been correct up to this point.

This morning I went to let Brady out of his room. I noticed that the fan was on and my mind immediately jumped to the thought that Timothy must have left it on. But as I was telling Brady to come downstairs, he walks right over to the fan, turns it off, and heads downstairs.

Most days I have to get on to Timothy about remembering to shut off the hallway light. Now I can no longer immediately blame him because Brady likes to spend a lot of time turning the light on and off. Luckily when I ask Brady to go turn off the light he enjoys doing it.



These last few weeks I have gotten a little annoyed at the fact that every time I tried to put on my backpack the shoulder straps were buckled together. I thought that Timothy was doing it to make me mad but I just forget to issue my complaint. Today, however Brady was messing with my backpack. When I went to see what he was doing I heard the "click" of the buckle. Brady was the culprit all along.

Finally, I noticed that the patio door got left open. I figured Timothy left it open, so I went to shut it. Later I went to let our dog outside and then Timothy found the door open. He figured I let her in and forgot to close the door. I told him that it wasn't me and we realized that Kaya has figured out a way to open the door when she wants in.

Now, I have learned that I cannot automatically blame Timothy for everything.
