HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!
Feb. 14,2010 Happy Valentines Day! What better way to spend our Valentines day then at the Monster Jam truck show. They came to Cleveland so we took Bradyn. He was so cute he sat at the very edge of my lap and I think if he could have gotten away without blinking he would have. He was upset at first that Grave Digger wasn't there but quickly found a new favorite in Brutus the dog car. I like Bad Habit because he was from Boardman, Ohio so gotta cheer for the local boy. Well enjoy the new pictures and leave us some love so I know you were here.

Feb 6, 2010 What to do in the winter in Ohio...Go to the Zoo of course. We had the weekend off so we wen to the zoo and seen the rainforest since it is always 82 degrees in there. Then we went over to the actual zoo and they took you around in a heated bus. What a way to see the zoo. There were not as many animals out at the zoo but we go to see a lot more then I expected. Bud got sprayed by the male Cheeta. When me and Bradyn walked up to him he was just pacing back and furth. Then Bud walked up he started growling and the hair on his back was standing up and the he sprayed. I told Bud he must have been a Steelers fan because he was all dressed in his Brown stuff. Well enjoy the new pictures talk to you all soon.
P.S. Since I have a mind that never stops I am already thinking about Bradyn's Birthday. His actual birthday falls on a Friday and since he is obsessed with Truck night I am thinking about having a get together here at the house. You know hot dogs, hamburgers and stuff and then getting a group to go to truck night. It is $5 for anyone over 10 and free for anyone under 10. They are also having fireworks that night for the 4th. So if you are interested let me know if we get enough I can buy a package that gives up to 50 people a free private ride on the Party Bus. So for all you out of towners if you are headed this way for July 4th then join us on July 2 for so mud and fun.
Jan. 15, 2009 We went to see Dr. Guru for Bradyn's 2 1/2 well visit everything went great. He said he is very impressed with his speech and that it is getting so much better. He also said that the one tube is still sitting in the canal and the other is still in place. We got his last Hep A shot again a tear free shot, (My big boy). He is finally on the charts for hieght still lower end but on there at 36 inches. Not on the chart for weight he only weighs 24.6 pounds. No wonder i can't keep pants on this kid.
Everything else is well with us, please let us know you stopped by. Love Ya! Congrats to my cousin Kelly and Bob on the birth of their new liitle boy! Welcome to the family Carson!
12/29/2009 Christmas was great! Bradyn really wasn't into opening the presents as much as I thought he would open one and then say okay lets play. The Choo Choo was a huge hit. He even played hooky from my grandma' house to come home and play with it. He acted sick and slept the whole time we were there but as soon as we came home he was wide awake and fine. you can push it or use the remote to make the train go. He will hand you the remote but if you touch it and make the train go he looks down his nose at you almost as if looking over glasses and tell you "don't touch anything". So cute
We went this morning and got his flu shot finally after having to cancel 3 times. He was such a big boy he didn't even cry or flinch when she did it. Although he was really mad because he could hear Dr. Guru and we only saw a nurse. He kept saying got wait for Guru, can't go home yet mom. Sorry there are not many pictures from Christmas atleast we got video, my stupid camera is not working very well again. Let's see what trouble Best Buy is going to give me this time.
Well better go get some cleaning done while Bradyn is allowing me to do. love ya all and let me know you stopped by.

Dec. 19 We made Bradyn's crib into the toddler bed/daybed. He loves sleeping in it so far, we plan to put him into the full size bed soon but wanted him to get used to it first.
He had a Christmas party at school and they all wore their PJ's it was crazy. Screaming kids because they loved Santa, screaming kids because they hated Santa, and screaming kids just to scream. It was cute but I was glad it was only 2 hours. Well enjoy the few new pictures and Merry Christmas.

Dec. 11, 2009 We have been very busy this month getting ready for the holidays. Me and Bradyn made cut out ornaments from salt, flour and water then you baked them h had a fun time cutting them out but has gotten the painting part yet. We then went to Nana's and did them with Nana and Owen. We also decorated two trees and have so many lights on our house the neighbor calls Bud, Clark. We also made our yearly trip to Kranyak's t lights were great and it seemed like they got a lot of new ones. The other pictures are from a thing called Country Lights that Jodie got us tickets for. It was at the Lake Farmparks in Kirtland and was a blast. For those of you in the area and those that visit the area up there around this time of year you should check it out. Tickets go on sale I think in early November and sell out quickly. It was only like 20 for the three of us and Bradyn got to make a real wooden toy with the elfs. There was a Santa, a horse drawn carriage ride and other things to do as well. I hope to go back again next year. Thanks Aunt Jodie for asking us to go.
We also took Bradyn's pacifer away this month. On Dec. 4 so he has been Love ya.without it for a week and has only asked for it a few times. The first night was the worst and I almost gave in. He was shaking and gagging and screaming I'm not a big boy, I'm bad. But thankful it was one bad night and then just a little more fussing then normal.
Well he wants me to play so enjoy the new picturs and if I don't update before Christmas hope everyone has a great holiday. May God bless each and everyone of you!
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.
