Bo review

Bo you are so happy, all the time! I love you love you love you! You are so excited becasue the Halloween store opened this week! You were so funny when I took you there after preschool. You were talking to yourself saying, yea, this is cool, yea I am not scared, yea this is so great mom. You were licking your lips, looked scared out of your mind, but wanted to be so brave. You said you liked everything except for the moving stuff. You even set up a Halloween store at home with all of your stuff that we bought. You turned our living room into your own store and we are all getting to buy things for free dollars ($3) or to much dollars (not for sale) which can generally be negotiated down to free dollars as well. You loved it. You also love to catch grass hoppers. You also have been driving the Monstor Truck down to the bus stop to pick Samantha up. It is the cutest thing ever! You also let her drive it in the yard and then when she drives by you hop in or hop out. It is so cute to watch. You still say, I love you so much all the time. We had a real bad scare this week when you got out of your carseat when Mommy took Baylen into MeMe's. Tongiht you told your sister she sure looked pretty and that she wrote so good. You are such a sweet boy, and I feel like you say funny things all day long. You started to cry in music yesterday when I peaked my head in. You are a big boy, but I love that you are so sweet and sensitive. You love to be cuddled, you ask if we can cuddle, but then you will say, Mommy cuddle is over now. When you have been decorating for Halloween you keep saying, I have a lot of work to do! You love to dance, and talk about eyeballs. You say, are you done mommy in a very funny voice. You are my sunshine. I love you so much....you come to our room every night.

Samantha Pepper Review

Samantha you are a pepper! Here you are at snake day! We had so much fun there! You also have done swim team this month and we are so proud of you! You were so nervous to do it, but did it! You brought tears to my eyes when I saw you "jump dive" off of the starting block. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen! You have such a pretty stroke. You swam in three meets. You did freestyle and backstroke. I am so proud of how brave you have been getting. You love for me to tell you stories at night. We also love to have girl talk. You are still loving your lovie and have no front teeth! You LOVE your baby brother and also play nice with Bo. You are starting to really have a style of your own and love to wear what you want to wear. I love your smile and I love you!

Baylen's Second Month

You are so sweet! You are my bald headed blonde eyelashed baby! You started smiling this month and talking a little bit the past few days. My favorite part of the day in first thing in the morning when you wake up and all I hear is your breathing and the birds chirping. You started sleeping until around 6:00 and drink 6 ounces every four hours. You are always happy. You started to love your swing. You look so cuddly in there looking all around. You go go go all the time and are so content. You love stroller rides. You love to look around now. I love your dimples. I also love after your bath when I rock you in your room and rub your head. You settle down and are so content. We listen to "hush little baby" Cd with waves in the background. It is the best! I love how you smell, I love that you are a big happy baby. You make mommy so happy and I wish I could keep you just the way you are. You have the best eyes and are so perfect! I love you Baylen...

Bo review

Bo Bo Bo. You are an amazing little boy. You went to see Toy Story Three today, and went dressed as Buzz! I love that you wanted to still do that! You often fall asleep around 5:00 0n the couch because you are so tired because you play so hard! You love pirates! You went to VBS and dressed as a pirate each day, you even acted like you had a hook hand. You taught yourself to swim yesterday on fathers day! You looked like a little ostrich, you put your head under and your bottom up and you were SO proud. It was so fun catching you, I love your big eyelashes and big eyes. You love your blankie and "fire" and chocolate milk. You still love for me to sing to you you are my sunshine, you use to always say "again". You are so sweet Bo Buddy and you love Baylen! You love to catch frogs....and lightning bugs at night.

Samantha's birthday

Samantha at her seventh birthady also day Baylen came home!

Samantha review

Samantha had a big month...she was the flower girl in aunt ginny's wedding. She is missing seven teeth. She loves swim team and tennis. She is such a huge help with her brothers. She is loving the summer reading program at the library. She continues to love crafts, and playing anything disney, barbie or polly pocket. She is my drama queen....but very sweet.

Baylen is One Month

I can not believe My Baylen is one month old today! He still looks like a little old man. He has lost his hair on top of his head. Eyes look blue, still has wrinkles on his forehead. Very long big toe. Fell asleep today on top of me, was layed out and looked so comfy I just did not move for an hour. Just started sleeping until 3:00 am instead of getting up every few hours. Rolled over on a lawn chair last week. You smell so good and love to be held! You are perfect if you are being held! Love your passy too. You can get really mad if you are in your car seat or not being held. I love you Baylen, you are 10 pounds and have your one month check up this week!

Bo Review

Bo is the sweetest little boy. Today when Samantha went to a slumber party he ran to her and said "I will miss you Zeppa, I hope you have a great time". He is se kind. He is also full of energy. He is always running and climbing. He is always in character. Dressing up, sword fighting or hanging out in a tree eating a banana pretending he is a monkey. He just melts my heart. He always wants to give hugs and says, I will miss you, but I will be right back. He loves to cuddle. He often says, Is that a good idea? He has the sweetest eyes and is my little love. He loves to give puppet shows...sings the bear na sesamees instead of necessities. Today he blew bubbles with is nose in his chocolate milk with his straw.

Brodrick number three is here

I thought I would start a blog to journal about Samantha, Bo and Baylen... This first post will be general. I plan to post on the birthdate each month for each of them.
Samantha just turned seven, Bo turned 4 in March and Baylen is a week old.
Something funny Bo said today...I called him honey and he said, don't call me honey...I am not a daddy! Bo is also so into holidays. He went on and on about what he wanted to be this year, he got teary eyed he was so excited. Today, I overheard Samantha and Bo in the other room, they were playing and then Bo ran out saying, I gotta go potty, I will be right back Zeppa, I love you!
The kids love Baylen so much. Bo asked if he could stay here forever. Samantha loves to hold, change and feed him. I feel so blessed. I have three amazing children and an awesome husband. Riley and Walker are pretty great too!
