Lucy and Brodey

Brodey was playing with my phone at the park and caught this little video of Lucy. He was making her laugh. Not the best video.. but I just love hearing her baby laugh.. and Brodey being such a good big brother. :) (He's already asked for 15 more baby Lucys.. he loves her.) :)

6 months of Brodey pictures

I finally got around to uploading the pictures from Brodey's camera.. there are almost 400!! (no less than 75 of the ceiling fan in his room) So fun to look through... I guess the last time I uploaded them was around Christmas! Some of these things I don't have any idea when they happened... but are fun to document anyway.

Here we have Lyndsay playing puzzles with Lyla.

Gramma Hat visited last month and Brodey got some fun shots of her playing with Cooper and Brock.

We love crazy Gramma Hat

Here's me and Lyla snuggling in Brock's bed before nap time one afternoon.

And me snuggling Brock on the floor after a fall...

Ninja turtles

Maddy came for playgroup... Brock took like 47 pictures of her. He loves her.

Brodey the photographer

While uploading pictures, I came across some I didn't take. It seems Brodey has grown very confident in his picture taking abilities and now takes them with my camera.

First a couple of self portraits.

Mr. Clint and Maddy

This one is my favorite, Clint!

And the truth comes out...

The boys are not allowed to get out of their beds after we put them in there for the night. This has been going pretty well for awhile. So we thought.

Flipping through the pictures on Brodey's Kid Tough Camera I came across these...

Here's Brock, getting out of his bed.

Checking out the bare light bulb. (that's right.. no lamp shade. They broke three and I stopped buying new ones for them. This was a rare night that I didn't have to take the light bulb out when I left the room.)
Walking around... checking things out.

And finally on Brodey's bed reading a book.

Sneaky sneaky boys.

I should probably get Brock a camera so I can get some dirt on Brodey.

"Share" Day

Once a month Brodey brings snack for his preschool class... his snack day is also the day he gets to bring something from home to show everyone AND he gets to be the line leader (I didn't know that... he told me that this morning.) Today he chose to bring his camera. I LOVED looking through the pictures he took at school. Unfortunately for me he snuck a picture of me breastfeeding Lyla this morning before he left. I'm hoping he didn't share that at school today!

He must have had someone else take this last picture since that is him in the middle covering his face. If I had to guess, I think that boy next to him is "Hudson"... he talks about Hudson a lot so I'm thinking they must be buds.

Birthday weekend part 4

Last part of the birthday series. Last night we had a few friends over for cake and ice cream... I missed getting a picture of him blowing out his candles on Sunday.. and apparently every year until this year.

Mama Gann and LylaWe got Brodey the Fisher Price Kid Tough camera since he likes taking pictures so much. I think it's only like 2 mega pixels or something.. but it's fun anyway. Here are a few he took...
Mr. Clint and Zurg

Brock, the unwilling subject

Buzz, Woody and Jessie

Me driving.

He really likes the camera... he took 73 pictures... these are just the highlights. It feels a little bit like living with the paparazzi.
