That 3 ft person that follows me around...

Everyday I get to spend pretty much every minutes with this little guy named Brenden and I have come to LOVE it. He is growing to be so big and I LOVE that too. He has all sorts of personality bursting out of him and Moss says it cause he is just like me:) Here are a list of funny/cute things about him...

His is obsessed with the word "Hotdog", if we ask him a questions he does not know the answer to he will say..."uh Hotdog". We have no idea where he got it from but it is so cute. Each night after we read a book we let him throw his stuffed animals in his crib and he will yell out "dado hotdog.." So weird...

Today we went into a Dr. office to pick up something I had won and as soon and Brenden saw a nurse he ran out of the office and screamed "NO!" haha

When Brenden does not know where something is or doesn't want to go get it he will tell you "it will be riiiight back". Like the mail key he lost in the grass, it still has not come "riiiight back".

He is obsessed with trucks and Motorcycles. He always has to point them out on the road and make the noise they do.

A couple weeks ago we were on a walk and a dog started to follow us and would go pee on every bush we saw. Brenden wanted to do the same but luckily he only thought the dog was kicking the bushes haha! So he kept going up and kicking it like the dog was.

If he hears a loud noise he will say, "hear that mama?" So cute!

He loves....yogurt, chips, cookies (of course) cheese.

He will ask for some chocolate chips in a bowl then ask you to put milk in it and then ask for a spoon... haha

He calls the hallway to his room a tunnel and if it is dark he says its a scary tunnel.

He also calls overpasses tunnels ever since we went through a real tunnel in California.

He calls his sand box in the backyard his beach.

He always asks to play with "kelsiemacey" (our cute neighbors girls) he thinks they have one name.

When Moss or I get home he says "Miss you too" even if we have not said it yet.

If he doesn't want me to leave him somewhere he will say " wait me mama" I love it!

If he wants a graham cracker he ask for a big cracker...sometimes he falls to sleep eating them...


We love our little man and can't wait to see what other funny things he has in store for us:)

IronMan 2011

This year for the Iron Man Moss and I decided to let Brenden sleep over at Bonnie' house and we would go camp out at the lake. It was really fun to switch things up a bit and spend time with Moss' parents and Supe. After chatting for a hour or so we all headed off to bed to get a few hours of sleep. Moss and I just slept in the back of our car and watch a little bit of a movie. It was pretty sweet and I think I will like camping much more with a our new living quarters. At 4 am we got up and got moving. We had a few meetings and had breakfast and then were boated over to the docks where we would be positioned this year.

We hung out for about an hour. Moss was beaming about to do what he loves best haha.

Then it was time for the rest to start, since we were lifeguards we got a sweet view of the start.



We then got in position on the docks and did our job. It was a lot less exciting this year seeing as we only pulled out 14 people. Last year we pulled out over 70. It was nice for the athletes though and it was fun to cheer for them coming in.
After it was over we got on a platoon boat to get taken back to our cars. We were in the dead center of the lake when almost half the boat nose dived into the water. My worst fear was upon me. We freaked out for a second but after moving some people around and jump starting the boat we were all better. I was a little freaked after that and held close to Moss. It was fun to be apart of again this year. We even got a little sleep and made it down to the finish line for a little while.
Moss was excited to see that most the people he was training finished in pretty good times too.
