Brennan conversations

Often when I'm with Brennan, I wish I could remember our conversations. Here are a few that I do remember.

Oh Brennan look what time it is. We need to get you ready for preschool. (we head to the bathroom to brush his teeth)

Goodby Brennan, daddy has to go to work.

Ok daddy, goodbye! Oh wait daddy. ( a quick look at grandma)Just a minute grandma.

Brennan runs out to the entrance, gives his daddy a hug and a kiss and says, see ya daddy!

Is that Sawyer? I really want to see him before I leave for school. Hugs and snuggles and he is off to school.

At lunch-

Brennan, I'm thinking that maybe you would do a better job at decorating our gingerbread cookie if you take a bite of my Broccoli soup.

Oh, ok. Maybe if I like it, I could eat two bites. Yum! (after the 2nd bite)

Grandma Kathy, why don't I eat 2 more bites then that would be 4 bites. (after the 4th bite)

Grandma Kathy, I think I will just eat 3 more bites because then that would make 7 bites.

Wow Brennan, you are good at Math just like your daddy.

What does that mean?

It means that you know how to add numbers and someday maybe you can have a job like your daddy.

Yah! Maybe I can.

later....

Grandma Kathy, when my mom comes home, can I come to your house with you?

I'm sorry Brennan but Papaw and Grandma are going to a viewing because someone died.

Can I go with you?

No, I don't think you would enjoy it very much. Everyone is going to be pretty sad because someone that was special to them died and I think you would just have more fun at home.

Well I remember when Alli's baby died and she was really sad too, yes she was really sad. I went with mommy and daddy to that and I even made a new friend there.

Sawyer-15 months old. Saying lots of words-loves his brother-continues to have major drool!
Those big blue eyes and smile just makes you love him.

Toy Story

When we were in AZ, Aunti Melissa bought the Toy Story movie for Brennan. That movie was watched so incredibly many times that Matt bought Toy Story 2. Isaiah used to be a big Woody and Buzz Lightyear fan and now it's Brennan's turn. Even Sawyer enjoys the movie. This is a puzzle I found that Isaiah used to put together.

Fun in the Snow

I had off work today and it was a great day to play in the snow. After I came home from grocery shopping, Brennan came over all bundled up and ready to play in the snow. Wil and I had planned to cut wood today but there was too much snow, so we just played in it. Monica and Sawyer joined us for a while.




Brennan said that snow was his favorite thing to eat.

Small Group Ideas

I need your help. Our small group is looking for ideas for our small group.

What are you doing or have done in your small group that you enjoy?

Busted Lip

Where is the camera when you need one? This morning I bundled Sawyer up to go over to Daudy's to get Grandma Barbara ready to go to the Doctor. We had a good time over there, until I bundled Sawyer up back up to go home. He raised his hand to show Daudy his hat and as he did that, his sock-footed feet slipped out from under him and he landed face down onto the hardwood floor. Ouch! I heard the smack and when I picked him up, the blood was running and it wasn't a pretty picture. His upper lip was busted and as you all know, it bleeds like crazy.

Of course, it had to happen just before lunch. I had to be creative when it came time to feed him. The cute part of this whole story was his brother Brennan's response, when he came home from pre-school and I told him what happened.

Brennan's eyes were so big and his mouth hanging open as I'm telling him what happened. He couldn't have been more sincerely concerned.

"Grandma Kathy, did Sawyer cry?"

Oh yes, he cried quite a bit.

"Oh Sawyer, I'm so sorry that happened to you! Are you OK? I am so sorry!"(saying it with such a sweet and caring voice-much like his mother would have said it)

As soon as Monica came home, Brennan ran out to meet her and said, "Mom, let me tell you what happened to Sawyer this morning."

65th Anniversary

We celebrated my in-laws, Alvin & Barbara Beachy's 65th Anniversary.

This post is for all the family that could'nt make it to the celebration.

Projects

I guess a Father can't go to visit his child without working on some project. This time I'm not sure if he visited the Nursery or Home Depot the most. I believe Melissa wrote about the projects on her blog.
Most of the work was done with an audience

Installing the doggy door. Melissa may have a better picture of this.

My son and grandsons

This picture was taken after their football throwing and sand playing was over. Isaiah and Brennan were both the happiest when Daddy and Uncle Matt played with them.
Sawyer was very unhappy when it was time to stop playing in the sand.
I had to add this close up pictures so you could see Isaiah's thick bushy head of hair. They had taken a bet as to how long it would take Matt to tell him he needed a haircut. Instead it was grandma that said something 1st.
