Erik's helicopter

This was Erik's favorite Christmas toy. Jerry got one also. At one point they both were sitting in the living room with their ATV helmets on flying these around like pilots...or idiots...not sure which!

Brodens ball pit

Broden loves his new ball pit.

Brodens ATV

Santa thought Broden needed an ATV since all the other boys have one!

Broden's tractor

Uncle Todd got Broden a tractor for Christmas, but the sound was a little scary at first. He warmed up pretty quick though.

This is Broden's first birthday party.....not sure why we didnt get him dressed. I would just like to add that Jerry "wrapped" the presents....including the batteries. Obviously it doesnt take much to entertain us, because we thought Erik on the giraffe was hilarious. Clearly we need to get out more.....but here you go. Happy first Birthday Broden Tyler, we love you!

Broden and Uncle Erik after he had his Birthday cake. Uncle Todd bought Broden this lion, and a 5 foot tall girafee. Broden was afraid of the lion for quite awhile. It probably didnt help that when we gave it to him we (Uncle Todd) kinda growled
and chased him a little. Eventually he warmed up though.

This is more washing up after the cake. Look how talented they both are. We are all so proud.

Yup! It's true! Grandma made a dinosaur cake for Broden's first birthday. Honestly it was a little stressful, I was worried it might not turn out cute. Turns out.....Broden didnt even care.

We had so much fun with Broden this Halloween. He was a dinosaur. He loved watching all the kids come trick or trea! Oh, and he had his very first sucker.....therefore very first sugar high...and then crash.

We all went out for my birthday to see the play, For Girls only! It was sooo cute. Afterwards we went out to dine at the fabulous Breakfast King. Nothing but the best for these girls!

Erik and Broden in band rehearsal. When Tyler gets home they will take their act on the road.

Uncle Jim got Broden a swing for the basement so he could swing all year round. Broden loves it! When we ask him if he wants to get out he shakes his head and kicks his feet. No mistaking that one.

So we are eating dinner and Broden wont touch anything on his plate, he just wants what Grandpa is eating. Sooo we gave it to him, and he loved it. Even when the corn was gone, he screamed when we took it away.

Now if only we could get Erik to eat his vegetables.

Broden is just starting to take steps. He will stand up in the middle of a room and start walking. Of course, as soon as we start to take video.....he does not want to do it anymore.

I was so jealous. Broden will not fall asleep on me ever. He is such a love that we all fight over who gets to hold him.

This is a daily event with this little boy. And I admit it is my favoite part of the day.
