We are still around ....

I know I have been the worst blogger, but I have gotten so behind that it has gotten overwhelming to sit down and catch up, but I decided, that today, my off day, I am going to get updated and try not to get this far behind again. In catching up, we have been to the beach again with my family. We had a very nice time and Brady enjoyed the pool again. We didnt' even try to take him back to the sand again, because it is almost a football field length to walk out there, and that is just to far for this out of shape momma to walk and stay out there and walk back in 10 minutes carrying a 23 pd child :) 

We finally made it to the lake this past weekend, the basement issues, have been resolved enough for us to go down there and enjoy the rest of the summer. Brady had a blast. He loved the water. I wasn't sure if he would like it or not since it was "dark water", so I bought an inflatable pool to put on the pier just incase, yea, it never made it out of the box. he loved the river, which I am so glad, that is where I grew up during the summers and I hope Brady is able to do the same! He even rode around with his daddy on the jet-ski, but I didn't have my camera down there then so I didn’t get a picture of it … he loved the boat rides, he would just point wave and enjoy the wind blowing through his hair! 

I guess those are our 2 major events, other than that, we have hung around the house in the air conditioner, it has been way to hot to be outside! We have started landscaping our yard, in phases, we have gotten side 1 and front side 1 done, we are doing it week by week, so next week will be the other side of the front, then the other side, then the back, etc. Then it will be on to Brady a play area in the back, I told Jason that could wait until fall when it cools off, because I am Santa or his birthday will bring an outside play set, so we have a little time for that. 

Brady did have his 18 month appointment on July 31st. He weighed 23 pounds, and 11 ounces. He is in the 80% for his height and 25% for weight … so he is tall and skinny for his age. His height has leveled off though, because he has been in the 90th percentile for height. He only had to get 1 shot, and he did VERY good. We don't’ go back until he is 2 years old.  

Below are pictures from the beach, lake, around here, etc.
