Happy 4th Birthday Brady!

Brian's sister's son, Brady turns four on the 19th.  They came home this weekend to celebrate with us (thanks guys for always being the ones to travel).  It was extra nice to see them since the last time they were home was when Eden was still in the NICU.  They were pretty excited to meet her too!  We did the usual jump on the bean-bags, watch the trains go by, open presents, eat cake and just plain have fun together.  Eden is going to fit right in with this bunch!

I can't believe Brady is already four!  Time goes by so fast!  We love you Brady and hope you have another great year!  Happy Birthday buddy!

Brady turned 3!!

Today was definitely a day filled with lots of fun!  To top off the day we celebrated Brady's 3rd birthday!  I can hardly believe he is three already!  Keziah skipped her nap earlier today due to our family get together so she was snoozing in the car by the time we got back to New Hampton!  Mat and Steph were kind of in a hurry to get back to MN because the weather is going to get bad later tonight.  We ordered pizza from Poor Richards and had cake and ice cream.  Brady got some really fun gifts too!  I think his favorite gift was a puzzle that was four different puzzles in the same box.  He also got a set of golf clubs.  We just got him a boring ol' gift card, but at least maybe he can go and get some more puzzles if he wants!!  Happy Birthday Brady!  You are growing so fast!  We love you bunches and are excited to see what your next year brings!

The Coyle Family!

Mat and Steph and the boys came for a visit this weekend. It was so great to see the boys and how much they have grown. Brady is talking up a storm and Henry is working on teeth left and right! The kids definitely love to hang out and get practice at sharing their toys but their most favorite thing of all to do is jump on the bean bags! Even Austin gets in on that game (I don't have any pictures of that this time though!).

Cousins!

Yesterday we spent the day with the Coyles and Brian's parents. It was great to have them in town and see how much the boys are growing! I love this picture of Henry and Steph!

Brady and Henry Visit...

Mat and Steph were in town this last weekend so we got to hang out for a bit on Saturday. Henry is getting so big as you can see. He is just 5 weeks older than Adah! It won't be long and they will be playing together like Kezzie and Brady. Keziah and Brady had a really good time together (more then usual-less fighting). Riley and Kathy have several over sized bean bags and for a little fun we have started putting them in front of the couch for Kezzie and Brady to plop onto. Under strict supervision, they kindly take turns! I have video of it and will put it at the bottom of the page in the next couple of days. It gets pretty crazy around there but it is a lot of fun to have them visit! Austin was gone at a friends' house so he didn't get to add to the chaos :( Maybe next time! I don't know which baby is more thrilled to have their picture taken-Adah or Henry! I just couldn't get any smiles for the life of me (except for my happy Kezzie)!

Brady's Birthday!

Brady turned 2 on the 19th of January. But he was pretty sick on his birthday so he didn't get to enjoy celebrating it. Since they were all here for LaVonne's funeral we decided to celebrate it with him. I baked him a really dorky but yummy cake and we all got together yesterday afternoon after the funeral (1/30/10). Kezzie and Brady enjoyed running around together and Henry and Adah mostly just slept! Austin got to be there with us too and he mostly found joy in irritating/playing with Kezzie and Brady. We love you Brady and hope you had a good birthday!
