Brady turns "2"

09.12.2009

I flew up to be in canada for brady's 2nd birthday!! My Mom, aunt, cousin, and granny were already up there, it was a ton of fun just having all of the girls there. We did so much while we were up there. It's always so fun to be up in the country and relax!!

Brady, i can't believe how big you are!! It was so much fun to be up in Canada with you on your birthday!! Auntie can't believe how fast it's gone by, you are such a big boy now and i am so very proud to be your Auntie, I love you so much!! When i look back at all the pictures we've taken of you, it's amazing to me to see how big you are. I love to call and just sit on the phone and listen to you talk, it makes my day!! I want you to know how much i love you and how proud i am of you!!

A few things i want to remember from the last 2 years!

-I've loved listening to you learn how to talk, i remember in such high hopes wanting you to say

"Auntie Shauna" so bad only thinking that my name is hard to pronounce, i was so proud when you finally said it

-You don't realize now, but hopefully when you are older, you will know how much you would make my day to call and just listen to you talk, whether to me or to your mommy, easten or daddy

-i so loved watching and listening to your little anecdotes, when you wanted your milk, you
would point to your mouth with one finger and make a sipping sound

-when you would call your tractors "dumm"

- when you would say "go away auntie" when i wanted to talk to you, i thought that was so funny

-when i have been able to be up in canada with you and the family, you would yell out "auntie", "auntie" i would say "ya brady", you would want my help with something or you would want to show me one of your toys, you made me feel like the most loved and luckiest auntie in the whole world.

-when i call now and hear you say "Hi, Auntie Shauna" you don't realize how much i love hearing you say that or when you say "bye, Auntie Shauna, I wove you!" it simply melts my heart!!

I haven't had the chance to experience the love that one has for there very own child, but i have experienced the true feeling of love i've felt for you and easten! You and easten are Uncle Ryan and Auntie Shauna's pride and joy in life!! We love you little boys so so much!!

You and your little brother have brought so much joy to our family!!

While i was up in Canada again for Brady's Birthday, Taras (my brother in law) birthday is a day before Brady's birthday, so we celebrated alot while we were up there, here are a few pics from the birthday bash!

Dad and his Boys

How Cute, Kisses!!!

So, the boys and Mandee got Dad a new tool box and Brady was in Heaven!!

This is my favorite picture because of the story behind it:

I was telling Brady to look at Auntie so I could take a picture of him

and he tells me with his eyes shut,

"Brady, gone driving Choo Choo Train"

I loved it, he is so darn cute, where do they come up with the things they say, so funny!

Singing happy birthday to Daddy!!

Daddy and Easten, so cute!!

Brady playing with his Tractors

This picture is so funny, he climbed into the chair, buckled himself in and starting throwing all the confetti that was on the table on the floor, it was funny. Brady had a good time.
