Sing It, Brady!

The kindergarten and first graders recently had their school concert and Brady sang a duet! Very exciting! Of course, he is so much taller than most of the other kids, the mic was too low for him, so he had to hunch over. From the look on his face, I think this caused him some anxiety, but he pulled it off. You all know how those young programs go...they could stand on their heads and we would all think it was fantastic!

Enjoy the clip of his debut!

Wii finally got one!


Last weekend, I stopped in at Walmart after a birthday party. Just needed a couple of things...found myself in electronics and found that they had 3 Wiis. I looked forever for one of these things. Figured we didn't need one. Convinced myself they were a waste of money. Bought one anyway!

Everyone I have talked to who owns one has no regrets. Neither do we! I woke up the next morning so sore from boxing (and knocking Duane out!) that I couldn't pull open the dryer door! Pathetic!
Kaela is already an expert bowler and Brady loves baseball. Doesn't matter the sport, you can pretty much guarantee that I'll get beat.

I'm fairly certain that an ER trip is in our near future. Someone is bound to whack someone - soon!

Quiet Time


Sunday was a fairly nice day, so Brady and I decided to take advantage of it and ride our bikes over to the Dyck Arboreteum. We had some old bread and were hoping to find some fish and turtles to feed. No luck with the turtles - we're sure they were hibernating at the bottom of the pond - but there were two pairs of ducks interested in a snack.
As a mom, I always marvel at how different my kids are when you get them alone. Kaela and Brady are at a point that I can barely stand to be in the same room with them together. They fight ALL the time about EVERYTHING! But, when you get them alone, you remember how pleasant they are and that they can actually be fun to spend time with.
