Monster Trucks

Lowes this week we got to build a monster truck! Brendon thought this was the best thing in the world. It was a quick build and Brendon loves using the kid hammers they have out. Best part of all "the wheels roll over everything" as Brendon puts it. 

 All Done!

Before Everett Turned 9 Months Old

It's been a while since I made a post on How big Everett is getting. Here is some of the things he has been up to the last couple of months: Climbing, Trying to walk, kisses, waving, playing with  cars and talking. He can now say MOM, DADA, BRA (Brother or Brendon), NIGH NIGH (night night for blanket or to go to sleep) and DEE (Doggy)  

 

 He loves to try on hats with Daddy at the store. Here they are sporting some ST Patrick's Day hats. Howdy Ladies! He can be such a flirt with girls no matter where we are. (The baby not Daddy)

 Everett is afraid of uncle Keith lately but he will still try to steal his keys from him as long as he doesn't look down. As soon as Uncle Keith looks he will run away or cry. It is funny because Keith will chuckle the whole time it is going on.

 

Everett loves to be out and about and with teething we can't get him to nap that well so we go for a ride. This turns into going to the store and he sleeps in the car seat in the cart.  Whatever works right? 

 He a a preference to being out of the walker, being insde doesn't last for long and usually results in only being used as a high chair. Although he is determined to climb on it. 

 Everett is 9 months younger than Dean and it is so sweet to see them play together. Here they are trying to get past the gate while the Daddy's were working on part of the house. 

As a treat we took the boys to walk at the mall. Our strollers were in the storage unit so we rented a double fire truck car for them to ride in. It was a hit!  

Everett loves to play with toys and has discovered how to move cars around on their wheels while crawling on the floor himself. 

Flint's Children's Museum

 Here Brendon had to take the wand from one side of the wire to the other with out it buzzing, much like the game of Operation. Brendon was a bit short to get the top so Daddy helped him up a bit. 

 Brendon loved this part of the museum. he had to use the bean bags to move the balance till it was equal. The tricky part was not all the same color bean bags were the same weight like he had thought. once he got it he was so excited. 

 Golf ball fun! Above he could put the gulf balls at the top and it would spin around the tower, "round, and round, and round". Below was a funnel where the gulf balls would spin faster and faster the lower they got. Brendon had a blast doing this that he kept garbing more and more. At one point he had 6 going at one time without them hitting. 

 The second section of teh Museum is set up for the musical and theatrical arts. Brendon gave us a puppet show that had Everett laughing so hard he snorted a couple of times. I have no idea what the story line was but this just got me to thinking about how fun it would be for us to build a stage/ puppet house for the boys. I think I would even get the cool bean bag stools too! 

 "Roar!" "Don't eat me I'm the cook" "I Hungary" "Eat Soups, not me"

 This was a lot of fun. The floor had sensors under each of the color dots. The sensor would then let out a sound through the surround sound system throughout the whole room. You could change the type of sounds with a factory control button system .

 In the body Section of the museum they had a climbing wall and Brendon was a natural. He climber right up to the top of the wall as was so excited! He wanted to do it again. His only problem was he couldn't climb down the wall. That's where Daddy came in.  "You all ways catch me daddy." Is what he said as Nathan helped him down

 In the final section of the museum is a mini city. Here they have a Fire truck and Helicopter to climb in and drive, a post office, restaurant, store to run and shop at and a home to live in. It was a lot of fun watching Brendon Practice all the different roles of the community and to interact with the other kids their as well. 

 Nathan and I were sitting outside the side doors of the house and Brendon made us some soup, cake and pizza for lunch

Brendon heard Nathan and I talking about going to get some groceries and decided he would go shopping for us so we could have some more play time.
