Some more pics from today

What more do you need..... tears, snot, and lollipop drool.




I took this picture yesterday while I was practicing.  I was playing with manually choosing which part of my picture to focus.  Well I didn't toggle it back to the spot Brady was in so I focused on Maddux instead.  I love this picture and wish Brady wasn't so out of focus. 

Sledding with Miles

Today we took the boys sledding to a place I have always wanted to go to.  Everytime I drive by this hill I say I am going to go.  Finally today we did.  Lucky for me Brady enjoyed it, because it was one hell of a work out lugging him up the hill.

 

 

 

Then we headed to Lowes to pick up materials for a photo project I am working on.  The boys got to ride together in the race car.

 

 

Brady tried to leave his hat in exchange for a Dora brush.  We were at the dollar store by the way, I don't want anyone to think Lowes now sell Dora hairbrushes.

 

 

Miles is giving Brady back his hat.  

 

20 Months Old

Another month older..... pictures to prove it. I am not in love with any of these pictures. He wasn't really interested in having his picture taken this morning, I don't blame him, I didn't feel like taking them and I didn't have my trusty companion with me to entertain Brady.

There was a lot of sticking out of the tongue today.  I guess its better than his mean face I have been seeing a lot of.





Watching the snow plows.


Most of the pictures were like this.  He would rather read Fancy Nancy.  Again, I don't blame him.






And lastly a picture of Maddux wearing the "bling".  Too funny not to post.

Marshmallow Snowmen

Today we tried making marshmallow snowmen.  It was a good idea in theory, but I didn't think it through and it wasn't a success.  I didn't buy the tiny marshmallows like I should have and I didn't have glue like I should have, but we tried it anyway.  I used melted marshmallows for the glue which was a total pain in the butt and smelled burnt.   When we were all done we enjoyed a few.  Well I enjoyed them, he just let them slip in and out of his mouth like slimy worms.  His faces were hysterical.

 

 

Now, I don't want anyone to think life with Brady is just all fun and games.  A good bit of our days involve whining, crying, and temper tantrums.  I look forward to when he can actually talk and be reasoned with, because this whining shit is for the birds.  Here are the pictures to prove it.  I swear, he is like a 13 year old girl sometimes with all the attitude he has.

 

 

 

 

 

 And then miraculously he is right back to happy and smiley.  I just wish he would stay happy and smiley all day.  But I guess life isn't that easy.

 

 

My new lightscoop

I got another fun add on for my camera, its called a lightscoop.  Basically its a cheap way to get good light without spending 500 bucks.  Its a mirror that makes the flash not shine right out straight.  It came yesterday so I tried it out, I love it!!  Makes taking pictures easier in the house.  Which means now I can take pictures in other places than right in front of the slider in the kitchen, which is the only place on the first floor that gets any light.  Our house is basically a cave in the winter.

Anyway, here are the tryout pics:

 

 

 

 

 

 

And lastly, these two.  It came while Brady was napping so I wanted to try it out right away and couldn't wait for Brady to get up.  I figured they wouldn't mind being my photo subjects, at least its attention.
