About a month left...

and believe it or not, I'll be back in school (sad face).  We've really had a lot of fun this summer and there is NO slowing down.  Ever morning, as long as the kids get up before 10:00, we take a walk.  We usually walk a long way too.  Brady has totally bought in because he wants more than anything to be "big and strong".  Here's a couple pictures of our adventures...

Telling me he see's a deer.  He didn't but whatever...

Taking a break and taking in a pretty nice view.

I can't get pictures of Addy because 1. I'm pushing her in the stroller and 2. She's more then likely asleep.  Immediately. As soon as we start...

I took Brady fishing one evening last week and he caught 4 sunfish.  I swear.  Of course I don't have the pictures to prove it but he did.  Believe me or don't, whatever.  We know the truth!

Sitting there reeling um in...

We go to Nana's house on Fridays and mow the grass.  Well, I do, they play...

Front porch sittin...

Fighting with light sabers.  They have never seen Star Wars but whatever...  It was fun to watch.

Yesterday on our walk, we found a secret playground!  It isn't really a secret but I've never been there AND it's a long walk away.  Hopefully he'll forget about it.  Probably not...

I can remember when he needed my help with everything.  Those days are gone...  He's so strong and independent.  I love him so much...

Sunday was a LONG day in the car but they got to go to Granna and Pop's house for a little bit.  Needless to say, I think Granna and Pops wore them out...  We could actually hear Brady drooling.  It was gross...

Today we went and got Brady's haircut.  After that, because he's been asking and talking about dad a lot lately, we went up to the cemetery.  It never gets easier for me and I know that Brady feeds off of my emotions up there.  I will never stop talking to him about dad though.  I'm so glad that he talks about Pappy so much.  Who knows how much he remembers, but we'll keep dads memory alive through constantly talking about him.  We do it all of the time.  I know Brady misses him so much.  We all do.

When we got home, they were clowning around as usual, so I took a picture.  It pretty much sums up our summer time together...

I just may be the luckiest guy in the world...

Still rolling...

So Daddy Daycare is in full swing now!  Usually, if the kids get up before it gets too hot outside, we go for a walk.  Several times, Brady has said "Oh well, it's too hot Dad."  Occasionally this is before 8.  Nice try Brady.  Addy loves walking and today she fell asleep on our cruise.  I need to go because I'm learning what it's like to have a job where you don't walk nonstop like I do.  During the school year, I would get 10,000 steps on my fit-bit before lunch.  Now, I can't get 10,000.  EVER. 

PhotoOp during our walk

Addy usually looks like this in the morning, as long as Brady doesn't wake her up...

When he does wake her up, she looks like this in the middle of the day...

Followed by this...

You can't say he doesn't love her though.

Last Saturday, we had a suprise party for Great Grandad.  HE'S 80!!!

Addy being Addy

The kids even danced a little bit!

Until next time!

More Carnival Fun

Well, we did it again!  Last night we met up with Nana and went to another carnival!  Brady as usual, had a great time.  Addy was mad because we chose to push her in a stroller instead of let her roam through thousands of people.  We made the better choice because before we left, she got to get out.  That resulted in Addy walking around without a care, butting in front of whoever she wanted. 

Here are some of the pictures from last night...

Also, Brady insisted on trying to climb the ladder.  This is a "big kid thing to do.  He let us know that he is in fact a big kids now several times last night...  :(  Our boy is growing up.  He made it to like to forth step.  I KNEW he would fall off on the first.  Dad underestimating him already...

This is what Addy looked like for most of the night until she got turned loose.  I guess it wasn't great just watching her brother ride rides and have fun...

Just waiting her turn.  When she got out, we (she) made our (her) way towards the concert.  When she got there, Brady REQUIRED her to dance with him.  She wasn't really into it.

My man just wanted to dance!

Also, Brady got to milk a fake cow before we left!  He complained that his hands got dirty...  Guess he loves cows from a far.  He definitely could not be a farmer!

Another one in the books!  The Baugher Family Summer rolls on!!!

Until next time.
