Stories Nov. 20, 2009 We are in Ocean city for the Winterfest. They usually have the beach lined with Christmas lights but since Tropical Storm Ida went through things are looking a little rough in areas. They are still having the lights but they moved them inland more. If you notice in the pictures where you see grass growing is where the beach used to begin and went straight out to the ocean. Now there are alot of drop offs some are little but some tower over even Bud's head. It is amazing to see but sad knowing what was once there and how nature can change it so quuickly. it is going to take a lot of work to get it back to normal. Enjoy the pictures! Love ya
P.S, Jodie did clean Bradyn's teeth on Thursday, he did great! Bud came in to get his teeth cleaned and he kept telling everyone Aunt Dee is going to brush my hair. I told him Aunt Dee brushes teeth not hair and he said okay. He went back and asked her and allowed her to do it all. I will post pictures as soon as I can get Bud to get them off his phone.
Nov 12, 2009 We had to take Bradyn to his one year checkup since he got his tubes. The Dr. told us that his left ear the tube is still in place and working fine and the right ear the tube is out and in the canal waiting to be washed away with ear wax. He said that so far though the ear looks great! everything healed fine and it seems to be open. Now I just have to pray no ear infections we have been infection free since we got them with no fevers or anything just some simple drainage.
Oct. 31,2009 Happy Halloween to everyone. We had our usual firepit and trick or treating. It was freezing cold and the Bradyn only made it half way down the street before he was done. Owen made it a little longer but only to the house that gave out fun dips, then that was enough. They seemed to have fun though. Hope you enjoy the pictures, love ya all.
Oct 28,09 Okay I am no longer the Slacker I finally updated. Took me awhile but I think I am caught up since vacation. Things have been good here Bud is fighting some kind of cold/flu thing. Bradyn had sometihng last week but it only lasted about half a day. Which was long enough because he couldn't keep anything done. He would look at me say mommy ouch and hold his stomach and then up came everything. But half way through the day he was fine. Now he just has a small cough. Other then that he is talking more and saying so much more. He was telling everyone I puked today when he was sick, and he loved taking the guts out of our pumpkin. Then we were watching It's a great pumpkin Charlie Brown and he said look mommy guts! Bradyn is also currently obsessed with Monster trucks and truck night, although truck night is over for the year he still ask to go every Friday. He is like a little sponge learnign so many things.
He loves loves loves Owen and even wants to be Owen for Trick or Treat, it is great to see the together. Owen is so good with him they are like brothers. And I don't think Bradyn could pick a better kid to look up to then Owen. O teaches him so many things and helps him come out of his shell more which is really what he needs. He took him for a ride on his 4 wheeler the other day and Bradyn loved it and didn't want to get off. Normally this is not something my little timid boy would do but as long as Owen's doing it he will try.
Well I am at work now so I better actually do some. Please let me know your out there and leave some love. Love ya all.
BACK FROM THE BEACH!
We had a great time in Myrtle Beach, thank you Aunt Jodie, Owen, Nana, Papa, Aunt Katie and Uncle Jason.
I will update everyone on the trip and life later just wanted to get some pictures on since I know that is what everyone is looking for anyways. Love ya and let us know you stopped by.
Aug 29, 2009 My baby is growing up he had his first sleepover with Owen, Aunt Dee and Joe. Even though they didn't go home until 10 and I went to pick him up by 9 it was still over night. And I survivied so I guess we can do it again. Love ya
Aug 19, 2009 Things have been very busy around here. As you can see Bud took Bradyn to Training camp and they got to meet a lot of players. Then we took Bradyn to his first Truck nite. He loved watching all the trucks and people play in the mud. We took the boys on the party bus, which is an old school bus that they have made into a big monster truck as Bradyn calls it. The next day we went to Aunt Dee and Uncle Joe's to watch the Thunderbirds even though it rained. Bradyn wore himself out so much he was out by 7 and slept all night. On sunday we went to the air show it was very hot but very cool. I still can't believe they did it all for free. Some of Bradyn's new things are he ask "how come" for everything, I am hoping this is his why stage. He is also really starting to talk up a storm. He still takes Woody everywhere. I am trying to put together a scrapbook of all the places Woody has gone and trying to remember to get a picture of Woody and Bradyn at that place. We have our first freckle on his right arm. Bud has a ton of them and I keep getting more so I new he was going to get them but I wanted to make sure to put it on here so that I would have it recorded somewhere. Well hope you enjoy the pictures it is getting late and I have been up since 6 so I must go to bed. love you all and please let us know you stopped by. I really hate talking to myself. Aug. 7, 2009 As you can see Bradyn and Bud went to training camp and got to meet a bunch of players. I think Bud was more impressed with that then Bradyn but he still had fun. As you can see by his smile and tongue out picture I have a little terrible twos monster on my hands. Everything is no momma, me do momma or a total melt down. He thinks it is funny to chase the dog, kick the dog and pull the dogs tail. He is also fighting bedtime more and just being a lot more trying. He is really testing his limits lately. It is giving me a new out look on picking your battles. But I wouldn't have it any other way. He is getting his own likes and dislikes. Well gotta go the little dare devil is going to jump nfrom the top of the couch, Love ya! P.S. Now who is the slacker?
July 17, 2009 We took Bradyn to his 2 year appt today. No shots yeah! He is still off the charts he weighs 22pounds 7 ozs and is 33 1/4 inches tall. All in all it was agood appt. he found a small weak spot in his belly button that we are just going to watch. Also we have to just go for his yearly check up with heart doc. to check his murmur. And one of his tubes looks sucked in instead of coming out. He said though all is nothing to really be concerned about. July 5, 2009 Happy Anniversary Aunt Jodie and Uncle Joe, we love you!
Wow what an update please be sure to keep click because I think I loaded about 100 new puctures. So much has been going on lately so where to begin. We took Bradyn to the Cortland Street fair and parade he loved the french fries and picked up candy with Papa. Then the next day we had a small party at Jodie and Joe'e for his birthday. Thank you Aunt Jodie and Uncle Joe it was very fun. Also thank you everyone we had a great day. This week we had Bradyn's actual birthday his Grandma Cartwright(Bud's mom) came over in the morning and brought him a cake. Then Papa, Nana, Grandpa Randy, Jodie, Joe, Owen, Natalie and Bump came over and had cake and ice cream. Our nieghbors came over later and we had a fire. It was a great time. Yesterday we went to a parade in Howland and party at the office. We then went and rode four wheelers and had a picnic at Linda and Bills. Then Nana, Papa, Jodie, Joe, Owen, Mike,and the neighbors Jim and Dee came over to watch the fireworks. This was Bradyn's first real fireworks because last year he fell asleep half way through. We also had Bradyn's second evaluation with Help Me Grow and it went great! Well it is getting very late and I need to got te bed. Love ya all! Don't forget to let us know you stopped by. June, 25, 2009 We are on a staycation kinda this week Dr. LaPolla is out of town so I had to work a few days but only a few hours. We went to Bradyn's first baseball game on Tuesday and then took the boys to Deer Park on Weds. Parts of that place has changed but other parts are very much like they were when were young. They still have the choo choo and the pony rides and of course the jail. What a great time just doing things local I didn't realize there were these things around here. Well enjoy the pictures and don't forget to let us know you stopped by.
June 12, 2009 Here you go Aunt Jodie a few daycare pictures there are not many I was a little busy. For those of you wh don't know what we are talking about I watched Bradyn,Owen and our friends Todd and Lori's two daughters Alex and Gabby last Sunday so everyone could go on a poker run. Way to go Papa and Lori who came in first and third. We also had Bradyn's milestone evaluation last Friday. The pedi thought that we should have his speech evaluated but the closest doctors on our insurance was in about 2 hours away. So thanks to Kelly we were able to get information on a help me grow program that was free and they even came out to the house to do it. It was amazing. He did relly good on most of the things but they do think he could use further evaluation of his speech and problem solving. he was just in the black for speech and just over for problem solving. For motor skills he was the highest you could go. We have his next evaulation in two weeks so we will see what they have to say then. June 2, 2009 No new pictures just had to share how fast this last year has went. I can not believe that in one month my baby will be two! Just seeing his ticker makes me teary eyed and to watch him and talk to him about his day makes me even worse. I love every minute of being a mother the good, the bad and even those ugly tantrums I love it all! And now to see him and Owen together is amazing. May 25, 2009 We took Bradyn to Wagon Trails to feed the animals. It was kinda pricey but he loved it so it made it worth the money. The animals come right up to the truck you are in and many eat right out of your hand. I thought they would scare him because they are very big and come right in you face but he loved it and was petting them and feeding them. I thik we will most likely go back again. It is righ down the road from Jodie and Joes. I can't believe my little man is going to be two very soon. I think this year went faster then last year. He is such a different person then hewas a year ago. His personality is coming out pretty quickly and e has the papa grin down like a pro. He talking more and more everyday although he doesn't say the first part of words. Like he says eddie, et, go (Ready Set Go) or he can count to ten but most of the numbers are only partial words. We had his speech evaluation scheduled for Friday but the ladies son had an asthma attack and couldn't make it. So we are going to reschedule. Well better go eat breakfast. Hope you enjoy the new pictures and let us know you stoppped by.
May 8, 2009 Happy Birthday Aunt Jodie! The new pictures of the boys Bud took while he watched both of them so me, Jodie and my mom coul g get our hair cut. Thanks daddy! He also watched them again yesterday before I got home from work. We took Bradyn back to the ENT to have his tubes checked and the one that was clogged is now open and they are both looking great. He doesn't want to take his adnoids until he has to and is hoping that since it is no longer cold season that it will give him time to grow so we won't need to get it done. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there and We hope you have a great day! love ya and please let us know you stopped by.
April 28, 2009 We are bnot really trying with the potty training just kinda letting him do his thing but when you are on it h wants to be and before bath he will try. But had to post the cute picture before I forgot. i think I also forgot to tell everyone that he can count to 5 but you have to listen very close. His talking voice is so quite. April 19,2009 We are home from our trip and although it was notthe beach trip we had planned it was a great trip very relaxing and great just to get away and enjoy family time. We went to Cosi for or next day in Columbus. It was fun but a little to setup for older kids. They had a few things that Bradyn liked he really liked the ocean room because he got to play with water. There was also a Kidspace that was setup for chidren 6mos-6 years old and was a locked area so you had to have a tag to get in and out. He liked that area to but we didn't get to spendmuch time in there after lookin at everything else. He also enjoyed the frog display that was kinda like a zoo display of a bunch of frogs. Therer is a water park at the zoo we would like to go back to some time this summer and maybe take some more people. Besides our trip we took Bradyn back to the ENT doctor on Monday because he was having issues with one of his tubes. It is clgged with something so he has been on drops for five days to try and fush it. We have to go back in three weeks to see if it gets any better. Lets hope so because with all the drainage he has had the ENT said they are not ready to come out yet. Well we are all tired from our trip so talk to you all soon. Love ya and please let us know you stopped by. April 18, 2009 We decided to make a spur of the mment trip to Columbus for the weekend and take Bradyn to the Zoo. We got a hotel with a pool so he could swim but it was to cold he he would only swim in the hot tub. sound familiar Aunt Dee. Yesterday we went to the zoo there are mre pictures but I wanted to get some on for now. Then we went to dnner with Jason, Megan and Espen it was a great time and he is so cute!. Well now we are off to Brunch with Jamey and then Cosi. Talk to you all so April 11,2009 Happy Easter Everyone! Hope everyone has a great holidayand have a great trip Aunt D and Owen. I have loaded a ton of photos from the past couple weeks we have been very busy. Last Friday we took Bradyn to Easter Bunny lane and then to Quaker Steak he loved seeing all the cars and bikes hanging from the ceiling. Then we went to an Easter Egg hunt and to color eggs with Jodie, Owen, Nana, PaPa, Joe, Zach, and Kylie. My camera stopped working so we don't really have pictures from that. Then this week he had a party at Daycare that Bud took him to and then we went to play with Owen and Aunt D at Buger King. We also went to Build A Bear and Bradyn built a monkey we named Roger. Thanks Sunt Sandy and Aunt Tammy. Well I have to go to the store before Bud goes to work so please sign the guestbook and have a great day. March 27, 2009 B is feeling much better and has been fever free today. He still tires easy. His test came back negative for whatever they were testing for. We took him to a different pedi today for a second opinion and were there for almost an hour and a half. We only discussed his nose,ears and always being sick. B slept through most of it. He thinks it is allergies,which is what I thought all along. However he said there is no reason to test this young becaus you get to manyufalse positives ubtil they are about 4-5. he example he gave was milk it may show you are positive for milk bit then you drink it and there are no symptoms. When you test later it is negative. Because of this he wants me to keep a journal so I learn his triggers before we put him on medicine. It was very informative. He showed Bud his ear tubes and one is either blocked or sideways.We go see that Dr. soon for our recheck. Thank you for your prayers and good thoughts.
