A Cute Video...



Jayden is hanging out in his underwear because he is being potty trained! Yay! We have had two successful days without accidents. Gaga came home from Washington today, so there was no way Jayden was going to leave her house!
We missed you Gaga!

Going Private...

Our little man is growing fast!
We started him on cereal today and he was a champ!
He didn't make a mess at all, and swallowed every bite without any problem.

I think we have another big eater on our hands.We are so thankful for his sweet personality. He smiles and giggles and is the most cuddly little baby. I think it's because he was carried, non-stop, the first two months of his life. Ha. Brady lights up when his big brother walks in the room. He loves to watch his every move and smiles when Jayden talks to him. I love my little guys and am enjoying everyday with them. I love being a stay-at-home mom and feel very blessed to have the privilege.

Our blog is going to be "private" in a few days. If you would like to continue to view our blog, please post a comment or send me an email. I would love for you to follow the events happening in our lives, so please just let me know you're interested and I will send out an email inviting you!
(I just need your email address and to know that you are interested)

Update

We've been busy the last few weeks, but we're having a lot of fun!
Brady absolutely loves his big brother! If he's fussing, I tell Jayden to go talk to him. When he does, Brady stops crying. I love to watch his face light up when Jayden walks in the room, or watch Jayden as he plays with his trucks and toys. The other day I had Brady in the swing and he started fussing. Jayden walked over and got his chair and put it right in front of Brady to talk to him. It was so cute!
Jayden loves to help me cook!
I was wrapping some potatoes in foil and Jayden wanted a piece. He said, "What is it Mama?" So, I told him....a hat!
I formed it into a Vikings helmet and he was so excited!
Then, he said he needed gloves too.

Jayden wanted to do tummy time. I told him it was Brady's turn right now.
So, he laid down next to Brady and said, "Gotta share Bray-ee, okay?"

My friend Lindsey and I like to take our kids to the Civic Center for Library Time. They hear a story, dance to some music, and color a book. The librarian passed out books to the kids so they could
follow along with the story.
Paige is always such a happy little girl!Reed was reading his book too. Sharing with each other...
Time to color a book!Jayden likes this part best!
Hanging out in the morning.
Jamie uses these when he mows the yard so he can listen to his ipod.
Jayden loves to wear them as soon as Dada takes them off!
He's a little copycat of his father. =)
Well...maybe not ALL the time,
I don't think Jamie does this?!?
A few weeks ago, we had a fantasy football draft party. Some families came over to hang out and enjoy some food after the official "draft" was complete.

Elias, Ben and Jayden played so well together.
Taking a break for a drink!
Bubbles!
Cousin Kylie was here too...
Sarah was so good with Brady Ben wanted to check him out too... Pizza Time! Our little Vikings Fan

Telling Elias bye. We went over to Micah and Becky's house to hang out one afternoon,
Jayden loved the sandbox Uncle Micah built.
He liked Aunt Becky's swing too
Trying to get a picture of the boys together...
