Too Many Pictures??

I just tried to add more pictures and blogger is saying I've reached my quota!
Anyone else having this problem? Hope I don't have to create a whole new blog!

Well...Today we had a fun Valentine's Day Party at the Park.
I've posted my pics on Facebook if you want to see them...

Yep, just checked and once you've reached your limit, you have to pay per year to upload more pictures. Hmm...I'll have to figure out what to do.
It's only $5 for a ton of space
(per year +tax+shipping, but what are you paying to ship?).
I'm just worried they'll increase it every year and I'll end up paying a fortune to keep my blog up and running!

Maybe I will start a new one, or maybe I will just stick to FB...is there ANYONE that reads this who doesn't have a FB account???
Uploading to FB is a lot easier, that's for sure! =)

Cell Phone Pics...

It's time for me to download my cell phone pictures again. I know they're very random, but still cute. My boys have the cutest relationship. I can honestly say they are best buddies. Wherever Jayden goes, Brady follows. Jayden is so patient with Brady and I love it! Brady lights up when Jayden walks in the room and my favorite thing ever is to watch these two laugh together.
Jayden can really get Brady giggling!
Brady loves books like his big brother. Jayden tells Brady,
"Come here Bray-ee, I'll read it to you!"
Jayden told me he wanted ice cream one day. I told him the only ice cream we had was Daddy's ice cream. He wanted it, and thought it was SOOOO funny that he was eating Daddy's ice cream, while Daddy was at work.
Coloring is one of Jayden's favorite things to do.
Brady had his first cookie, but he wasn't too impressed.
Daddy's little buddy always wants to "help" him mow the lawn.
We are loving the warmer weather!
We go to the park and walk around while Daddy and Jayden play.
Like I said...little brother follows big brother everywhere. The funny part?
Jayden likes to do whatever Brady is doing too!
I was making breakfast and looked over and the boys
were both on their knees looking outside.
It was raining one day, so we made a "bear cave" inside.
Jayden was Baby Bear and I was Mama Bear.
I LOVE Jayden's imagination!
Bath Time is always fun!
My baby will be 9 months next week!
He is such a content baby. Mommy loves you Brady.
We enjoy going for walks with Lindsey, Paige, and Reed.
Jayden and I had a Lunch Date yesterday. I let him choose where he wanted to go. He chose the "Cheeseburger Store?" So...we went to Jack-in-the-Box. It was so nice to sit and focus on my little guy.
We had a great conversation and a nice, relaxing lunch.
I can't believe he turns 3 years old soon! He is such a good boy.
Mommy loves you Jayden!
Happy Wednesday!!

Superbowl Party!!

This year we had our annual Superbowl Party at Gaga and Papa's House!!
The boys had so much fun together.
Jackson, Carter, and Jayden...
Auntie Sheree and Brady
Selah and Aunt Bev
The girls enjoyed the fellowship and food!
There was a TON of food!
Lots of crockpot food too! SOOOO good!
The guys enjoyed the game.
Auntie Aimee is being induced this Friday!!
(unless Cody comes before that)
Friday is my sister's birthday too! How cool that Cody
might be born on her birthday!
This little guy is all over the place! He's crawling, pulling himself up,
and walking along the couch.
Gaga's Playroom was the big hit for the kids!
These are blurry, or dark, but it is still a cute picture of Jayden. Tuesday was his last day at Redlands Gym. He had a blast! They did a super cute Valentine's Celebration.
We got there early, so we were hanging out in the car.
Fun!!
We signed Jayden up for T-ball and it starts next month!!
He will be playing with 5 of his buddies, so it will be fun!

Celebrations and More...

It has been a long 4 weeks! My boys have been SO sick and it's taken a while to get everyone healthy again. Brady got the worst of it and had to do breathing treatments every 4 hours to get him better. We are all well, and back to our daily activities, so I have time update the blog!One thing we are so thankful for is our Church Family! There are so many kids who are the same age as Brady and Jayden. Between our Mom's Group, Bible Study, and church on Sunday, we have really been blessed with friends. This little guy turned 3 in January and had his party at Jump Zone. Happy Birthday Everest!!!
Jayden had so much fun on the blow up slides!
He wasn't too sure about it at first, so I "helped" to encourage him
by going with him.
I think I had as much fun as he did!
Where's Jayden???
Jayden has really slimmed down. He is so tall and looks like a little boy...
no more baby about him. I'm biased of course,
but I sure think he is one handsome little guy!
This was before he got brave enough to go in the jumpers.
Brady is also growing quickly!
He is now pulling himself up and is walking along the couch.
He loves to eat Apples&Oatmeal and stars!
Samuel and Jayden are great buds! We love having Samuel over once a week.
Here they are doing a craft...making a Valentine for their Mommies!
Snacktime!
Aunt Margarethe and Uncle Doug came to visit in January.
They live in Minnesota, and Jamie lived with him for a few years while attending High School. They are very special to him and to our family. Aunt Margarethe has a grandson Jayden's age, so she knew just what to "talk" about with Jayden.
Jayden loves to cook/bake/wash dishes (for real),
and also with his pretend food.
This was at Cousin Kylie and Emily's house.
Aunt Margarethe brought the boys a special surprise.
Thanks for always being so thoughtful!
Cousins
My handsome big boy!
Brady loves to be outside! If there is a window in sight,
he will crawl over and just stare outside.
He also loves dogs! This is Cousin Sammy!
Happy 2nd Birthday to my cute niece, Kylie!!
(in January-more pics are on their blog)
Uncle Doug and Brady
Hanging out in the car...
The best thing about the weather warming up...YARD SALES!!
(and many other things)
Jayden got these cool golf clubs at the last Yard Sale we went to.
I don't think he's actually ever watched a person use golf clubs, even though our backyard backs up to the golf course!
The trees are tall, so we don't see the golfers play.
I was trying to teach him, and he was cracking me up. We need to work on coordination. He is signed up for "Biddy Ball" (tball) and starts next month.
"Cheese!"
Hope you're enjoying your weekend!
