Brady's birthday....again

I promise this will be the last post for Brady's birthday.

The day of Brady's birthday I thought it would be fun to do something special. So we went to the aquarium in Grapevine with just the 3 of us. Even though we have been many, many times, both boys had a great time. Brady is just recently starting to really take it all in and truly enjoy it. We all three enjoyed every minute of it. I am so lucky to have these two boys, even if they do drive me completly crazy at least part of every day!

We started the day with a quick birthday picture in front of the banner. And of course Ethan had to join in. This one is Brady trying to copy Ethan. And it is my favorite picture.



Then we were on our way to the aquarium. Of course this included some smiles and nose picking on the way. I'm definitely outnumbered by boys.


































After the aquarium, we had some lunch and rode the carousel at the mall. 



He begs to ride and this is his reaction. 

Later, Dad came home early and we had presents, pizza and cupcakes to celebrate.







He is one loved little boy! Happy 2nd birthday Hulk Baby! We love you!
