Party Prep

Last Saturday we were stuffing the goodie bags for Brady and Madison's birthday party on Sunday.  We got these funny glasses to put in the boys' bags.  They are funny!

Love this!

This makes a mama proud!  They sat quietly and read to Blake.  Brady would read one side and Madison would read the other.  They tried to use dramatic voices to make the book even more interesting for their little brother.  I love these guys!

Double Digits!

Our big guy turned 10 last Sunday, October 3rd. It is very scary to me how fast time is going by. He is showing signs of making the change from Justin and I being the coolest and smartest people in his life to his friends being the coolest and smartest people. He is still very sweet and respectful, but in the slightest ways I can see that he is beginning to test some limits. He is becoming independent in many ways and in other ways he needs our guidance more now than ever. Parenting can be such hard work!

We learned early last week, that our good friend Bill Buchanan had 4 tickets to the Nascar Race in Kansas City. He asked Justin if he and Brady would like to go. We don’t really follow Nascar but the trip was too awesome to pass up. Not to mention that Brady thought the entire thing was planned specifically for his birthday since the race was on Sunday. They had such a good time and received royal treatment in the Sprint Suite at the race. Here are some of the pictures they took!

The boys got to sign the finish line!

Here is Justin and Brady with Tanner and Bill.

Great times with a great friend!

 

I love how Brady is hangin' with the big people!
