Bike Rides

Today was an absolutely beautiful day, it actually got up to 75 degrees. I was so happy to get our bike out, we went on our first bike ride of the year. Brodie was happy to see the bike too. As soon as I got the bike out, Brodie grabbed his helmet and couldn't wait to get on. We went on about a two mile ride and ended up a Nana and Da's. Tiff had brought up the girls, so all the kids were there. Brodie loves playing with his cousin, especially his Dulaney or "Dananie" as he calls her.

Two Years

Today was mine and Joe's two year wedding anniversary. We had a great day, Joe didn't ride today so we got to spend the whole day together. We decided to go down to the Wilmington Water Front. Brodie was so happy to be outside, when he ran on the boardwalk it made a really loud sound and he thought he was so cool. Joe also got Brodie a skateboard today, because we didn't want him to feel left out when we gave each other presents.

My little Gymnist

Brodie has been going to gymnastics twice a week for three weeks now, he loves it. Today, he did a somersault all by himself. Usually he get it position and lifts one leg for me to push him over, but today he decided not to wait. Brodie's favorite thing in the gym is the balance beam. He has always had a lot of balance and he loves to show off on the beam. While the other kids in the class seem to show a healthy fear of the beam, my crazy kid climbs on it all by himself and trys to run on it and jump off the end. Our instructor loves to put him on it, she gets this crazy look in her eyes like she is she sees Olympic gold in his future. I however just get a sick feeling as i am seeing lots of trips to the E.R. and casts and bruises in my future. I guess that is the life the mother of a dare devil can expect.

Zenyatta Fan

Well apparently Brodie is a Zenyatta fan. He found a Zenyatta hat earlier this week, and it has been on his head most of the time since then.

The Girls

Yesterday we drove down to Baltimore to hang out with Baden and Dulaney. It was another great day, it got up to 65 degrees. Brodie loved watching the girls run around and was trying his best to keep up.

Poor Chunks, he got nominated for the sidecar

Brodie and Baden traded power wheels for a while. Badens four wheeler was much faster than the motorcycle, Brodie was giggleing the whole time

They helped uncle Jed do the leaves

It was a lot of fun, Brodie and I were both wiped out when we got home

The Park

Today was the nicest day that we have had in months. It actually got up to 55 degrees today, so we decided to go to the park. We called Joe's sisters Courtney and Tiffany asked them to meet us there. The kids had a blast. We played on the playground, tried to fly a kite, and played baseball. I can't wait for spring to get here, Brodie loves playing outside.
