How would it be being a kid and having a birthday all month long? We started Brody's Birthday off by going to the Living Planet Aquarium. We had a good time other than the fact that there were trillions of kids there for a field trip and Brody wanted to try out our new double jogging stroller so he stayed in it almost the whole time. But at the same time I would be scared of all those kids too three times my size. Brody loves the movie "Cars". So he got Mater sheets and a Lightning McQueen chair and helmet to go with his new blue bike which he absolutely loves!
That night we took him to Chuck e Cheese for the first time and boy that was a hit. We ended up buying another trailer the night of his Birthday so we drove up to Layton to pick it up so we asked my family if they wanted to meet us at Chuck E Cheese in Layton and they all came and our friends Becky and Blake and Tori met us all there. It was a blast! Brody and Taya couldn't get enough of all the fun games.
Last Sunday we officially celebrated with the whole family. We are so grateful for how close our families are so then we can do these fun parties for our little man. Brody and I went and chose a birthday cake for the family party at the store and he spotted the tractor cake and wanted to take it home right then with us. That cake got a little scuffed up but oh well. He didn't quite understand that we couldn't buy it right then and that we had to wait to pick it up in a few days. The cake turned out cute and Brody just wanted that tractor on top he didn't care about the rest.
I love this picture because not only did Brody have lots of help opening a present but Jack even got a hammer to help open it, so cute!
What kid gets excited about clothes, apparently my kid does!
St. Patrick's Day
Brody woke up to a huge mess with cookie cutters all over the place. I told him that the Leprechaun came and did it. He looked at me like he couldn't believe it. I told him that the Leprechaun must've wanted him to make some clover cookies. So we decided to invite our friends Trisha, Lexi and McKenzie over to help make some cookies. I forgot to take a picture with them there but we have the end result with the cookies all done.
For breakfast I made pancakes and of course Mickey Mouse pancakes for Brody. But some how the pancake batter turned green, that little Leprechaun was on one. So we had green pancakes besides Brody's Mickey Mouse pancake, even Cooper had green pancakes.
Music Makers
In Brody's and Cooper's grandma's ward there's an activity every Tuesday called Music Makers of which she takes the boys to. Brody gets so excited for it. There's a bunch of kids that come and dance and sing. Brody comes home and sings some of the different songs. Cooper even loves it and gets in on the action. Here's just a couple pictures.
