Brady's 7!!

Well, Brady's 7 today! SEVEN!! It's crazy to think he's that old!!!! He was able to read most of his cards this year by himself. He's really doing well, sounding out the words and figuring them out. At times he gets frustrated, but that's to be expected.

We had a birthday party with four of his friends on Friday. We went bowling. It was fun! It was interesting with 5 boys. Whew!! They all bowled very well and had a great time. I know Brady really enjoyed it! Bethany even bowled too, the ball went Verrrrry slowly. I keep telling everyone think of the scene on Uncle Buck! hahaha

Today after church we went out to eat Brady's choice. He either wanted to go to KFC or Long John Silver's/A&W-go figure! He's 7! haha We ended up going to KFC and then he got a RootBeer Float for dessert at A&W. We don't think the float is what he expected. ;) We came home and opened up his gifts from us and the rest of the family. Thank you guys!

I think he enjoyed his birthday weekend very much!

Van

Well, I honestly can't believe I'm saying this but we are now owners of a minivan. Seeing #3 is coming shortly we decided to pony up and get one. We got a 2002 Honda Odyssey, it has some miles on it but it's still nice. We figure this is a nice transitional vehicle and we aren't paying out the rear for one. So far I like it, it's alot easier to get Bethany in and out. She can actually climb in now, where with the Durango I had to lift her in every time and that was getting more and more difficult. I was VERY sad to see the Durango go. It really was a great vehicle that was very comfortable. But times change so here we are, I have the mommy van, I feel older now. Guh! :)'
