Rudd Lake

 Today we decided to spend a little time at Rudd Lake! Brody pedaled his little trike all the way around the lake - that's 0.9 miles! We cooled off at the beach after our walk!

 

 

Teddy Bear Mask

 This week is Teddy Bear week at daycare and Brody made this cool Teddy Bear mask!

Muscle Man!

 Look at my muscles, Mom! Since we are potty training, Brody has been spending a lot of time in only undies. I don't think he minds...

Undies and Boots

 What mom wouldn't save these undies/boot pictures... perfect for a graduation bulletin board :-)

 

 

 

Rock Falls Fun Days 2013

We enjoyed the festivities at Rock Falls Fun Days this year. Mommy ran the 5K in the morning and then we came back as a family for lunch and to check out the kid's games! Brody wasn't all that excited about the games but he LOVED the inflatable slide.

 

Dad and Cooper even tried it out :-)

Tree Planting!

This is a little Arthur family tradition! For each grandchild's baptism, Grandpa and Grandma Arthur purchased them a tree to be planted at their house. Now there is quite the row of trees in the back yard. It will be so wonderful for the kids to be able to watch these trees grow big as they grow. Today we added two trees - one for Cooper and one for Maci - to make a total of 4 :-)

Cooper couldn't help plant his but this is how he sized up to the hole we dug :-) - grandkid #4!

Brody helping!

Brody posing by his 2-year-old tree - grandkid #2! As you can see, he is a little shy... we don't take his picture very much.

3-Day Potty Training

 This week we decided to try a little 3-day potty training bootcamp! So far, we think it actually worked! Brody is excited and doing awesome. Check out that chart... 7 stars in a row! Yahoo!
