Videos

So it has been forever since I have posted anything but I was going through our little point and shoot camera and thought it would be fun to post some videos:)

Brent the Beast

So here are his 2 year stats....

He weighs 32 lbs (90-95%)
36.5 inches tall (90-95%)

and just bought him new shoes for the fall....


SIZE 9!!

So many pictures so little time to post them:)

The princes on their camel

Brent loves goats....goats don't love Brent.

The scary thing is that because Brent is so tall he made the cut off to ride the tea cups (no adults could go with). We were kind of nervous cause there is no tell what he is going to do since he has no fear but he actually did pretty good until the very end when he was up out of his seat belt and off the ride before it stopped of course.

So we have been busy this summer....one of the reasons I love summer...and have taken a lot of pictures but I have had time to download them off my big camera. So here are a couple from six flags and the zoo from my little camera.

Random pictures

Fishing

He already knows how to spell:)

His typical face when he sees the camera

Safety first, Mr. Cautious (I wish)

"fixin" it

So I am horrible about downloading pictures from my point and shoot camera so here are some random pictures we have taken this spring.

Okay this one too...

So I had to had this one too cause once again it is so Brent...bet you didn't know tractors were as fun to climb and steer with your feet as they are to drive. Climbing + Tractors = the loves of his life right now:)

Tractors

I am not lying this is like one of 50 pictures of have of Brent with a tractor because he is currently obcessed with them...I love his expression in this pic:) So him.

Summer

Not too many words needed to describe the fun Brent's been having this summer (clothes optional)

He's a mad man behind the hose

Hard day at work on the lawn

Brent in the Garden of Eden

Our poor neglected son...

This last month or so has been crazy with going back to work and nick finishing up his classes so thankfully we have had some help with Brent between the grandparents/family and daycare (or as Brent refers to it as "school"). He loves his teacher "miss jessica" and he loves his newest classmate "emma" (the only girl) and apparently went around hugging her all day her first day she was there. I am offically done with my 5 week orientation which I refer to the time as "the black hole days" which therefore means I have returned from the black hole and doing much better working my 1-2 shifts/week.

I randomly ran into a girl I worked with at st. louis children's hospital (6 years ago!) who just started working on the same unit as me a month before me. Small world.

Humm what else....Brent is as strongwilled as ever. The other day he was mad at me cause I wouldn't let him help me make pancakes and stir the batter (since I had just scrubed my floor on my hands and knees the day before) so when I went to shower he decided he would make his own breakfast......a dozen eggs on my kitchen floor! I knew I was in trouble when he can walking into the bathroom as I was getting out of my 5 minute shower with 2 eggs in his hands...one in which had a finger whole poked in it and was dripping yoke from the kitchen, through the livingroom, to the bathroom.

I am guilty of not having finished/started his baby book, so that is my goal these next couple months to go back through the blog and figure out dates and stories. So for now some side notes for his baby book (well almost 2 years old book I guess now):



Current favs:

1. spiders/ants and alligators (more of a love/hate relationship though with the last though)

2. The Wheels on the Bus

3. "mowing" the grass (toy lawn mower I picked up at a garage sales saves the day everyday)

4. "outside" (repeated every 2 minutes of the day we spend inside)

5. still likes to "work" fixing things with his tools (a lot of times we have to go run errands with a toy hammer...and then I get the looks from everyone, "no wonder you son has bruises on his forehead)

6. banging his head with frustration (ie: his strong will, bruises on forehead)

7. his "baby" a porcelain doll figurine grandma miller (karen) made when nick was a baby (bad combo, brent-porcelain-hammers-etc) but he really does take good care of it...gets a diaper (or 5) out for it and always says it's "butt itches" and puts desitin on its bottom

8. New love is the beach...which we are lucky to have a nice one on base and free and no one but us it seems like goes there



Anyways, hopefully now that I am back from the black hole I will be able to put up a few more pictures and stories....or even better yet be motivated to print off my 1,000 pictures I have taken of Brent over the past 2 years for a baby book:) I just don't know where to begin though at this point....okay by his 2nd birthday it will be done!

April Showers bring May Flowers

Jail Bird

I just think these pictures are funny cause his little leg warmers remind me of a jail suit for some reason.

Little boy after Grandma's heart

So the other day I went into the bathroom to get ready for the day and I knew something was up when my comrade wasn't at my side but I choose to enjoy getting ready with a little peace instead of seeing what he was up to knowing he was probably up to no good. Well, on the way to the bathroom he notice one of the cabinet doors in the kitchen was open just enough to spark his interested (they are child proof with a latch) and he decided he was up for a challenge. Brent was able to slide his hand threw the 1/2 inch crack to be able to pull out some baking chocolate and of course indulged. When I came out he was wiping his hands clean...but there was something else that gave away the chocolate bandit's guilt....

Some bits of random...

We have a brand new video camera that we have used like twice but somehow in the move lost the battery charger. Anyway, so for videos we have just been using our little point and shoot camera clips. Here are a couple videos of the energy I deal with daily...not sure who he gets his moves from:) Also on the camera, I was looking through it and found this pic...I have no idea how old Brent is but it was a night I was gone and Nick was in charge of dinner:)

So a quick catch up on our crazy life...Brent is using the potty:), I am going back to work as a nurse, we have started rennovating the Miller farmhouse, Brent has another new cousin, and hummm I turned 28 years old:) Here are random snap shots I have been meaning to put up.
