What a day!

Friday was awesome! Sid and Jack came over... Dad took all 3 of us to see the movie "Charlotte's Web" !! It was so much fun. The movie was great and so was my popcorn and Sprite!! I love to go to the movie theater- it was so huge. The pic above is of Jack, Sid and I watching Spongebob yesterday at home. This is pretty much how we looked at the movie theater too. Mom was glad to have a day at home with just Beau I think since she had to work late on Thursday night.

Rock the mic like a vandal,

The Cousins are coming! The Cousins are coming! The Cousins are coming!

Sidney and Jack are coming to spend the day at my house today! All I can say is: YES! When they get here my plan is to run around the house as fast as I can a couple times just to let them know how excited i am to see them, then I will give them some hugs. I like Mom and Dad and all... but having both Sid and Jack here to play with me?! Are you kidding!?!?!?!?

Uncle Jeff and Aunt Patty are leaving for Germany today and I am sure they will have a fun time. Sid and Jack are staying with Amma and Pop (I wish I was too!) but today they are coming to see me!!

I will update later with some pictures...

Sidney's a good singer!

We went to a play at Sid's school tonight and I loved it!! Mom and Dad were surprised that I just watched the entire thing without trying to get down or run crazy (I feel like I am always good- maybe they disagree?)The secret to my good behavior was that I was on Poppy's lap. Anyways, Sidneys class of 1st graders did a cool musical about the good old U.S. of A. They did the Pledge of Allegiance AND the National Anthem as well as some pretty fun dances. We even got to go into her classroom afterward! I gave Sid some roses after her performance (Mom's idea) and she loved that!!! I am excited to go to school one day. Dad told me that he went to the same school when he was just a little chap... hard to believe.

PEACE,

Brady

Missing my Amma...

Amma and Poppy live only a 1/2 mile away... AND I still haven't seen them in at least a week!!! That is just too long for me to go without seeing them! They were in Arizona drinking wine last weekend.

The pic above is from Amma's house... Good times. I was painting. It is so fun there. We paint, play games, ride in Poppy's truck, listen to music, dance, watch movies, Amma gives me a bath. I think Mom and Dad should go away soon or at least out for dinner so that I could have some quality time with Amma and Pop!!!


Workin' on mysteries without any clues,

Claw Toe

When a new Fairbanks baby is born the happy parents don't count the fingers and toes... they look to see if the little bundle of joy has THE toe. The Fairbanks Toe. Most of my relatives are afflicted with this strange phenomenon. I know that Poppy, Uncle Jeff, Dad, Aunt Kelly (severe case) Beau, and myself all have it. I am not sure about Allison, Alex, Riley, Sid or Jack? maybe they have it? The above picture is of my little "tootsies" at about 3 months.. pay close attention to the baby toe (the last toe) on each foot. Those suffering from the Fairbanks toe or the claw toe have basically the same symtoms: a tiny or dwarf baby toe that is sort of curled sideways. The sideways slant makes the toe have an incredibly sharp callus on the edge/tip that is very good for wounding/slicing a spouse on the legs while laying in bed... so I have that going for me when I get married. It kind of looks like the poor little toe is taking a siesta on its side. Not a pretty sight. This freakish little digit sort of reminds some people of a dog's dew claw and is every bit as useful. Dad says that the Fairbanks' of the future will likely have evolved to having only 4 toes, if only to spare innocent people from having to see it.


Bedtime.

P.S. Dad thinks he could be a hand model. I told him that the fact that he doesn't bite his fingernails doesn't mean his hands could move product on Madison Avenue... plus- look how stubby they are!! Oh well, let him dream.

Other books are simply imposters

If it is book time, then it is time for Chicka Chicka Boom Boom! I won't allow Mom or Dad to read ANY books until this one has been read first. I call it "Chicken Boom Boom" That's all fine and good but here is the problem: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom was due back at the library yesterday! My parentals may have to actually break out a little $$ and buy a book. Who goes to the library these days anyhow? Who am I, Laura Ingalls Wilder? Well guess what Pa, Half-Pint wants to own this book... We have high speed internet for god's sake... couldn't they have ordered MY FAVORITE BOOK IN THE ENTIRE WORLD on Amazon by now? We've had it for 3 weeks! Now, they are going to have to deal with me when we get to bedtime tonight and there is no "Boom Boom" to read. Like I always say: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Back to Work!

Well... it finally happened. Dad drove my Mom out of the house and back to work early today... she decided to work on a few clients this morning. Mom was much happier than usual today and I think I saw her look at my Dad and say something about not wanting to stare at his big head watching TV... Maternity leave just ain't what it used to be!!!!

Good news! We are having company later today. This means that my peeps will have to feverishly clean the house. I know it will happen- I have seen it many times before.


Wish I didn't know now, what I didn't know then...

And... here is yet another picture of my little brother not doing anything.

Playin' in the snow!

I helped Dad out with a little ice removal yesterday. He gets picky about the driveway sometimes... and then other times he could really care less. Oh well, it was really fun because in the low spot of the driveway there is a huge puddle (I call it a lake) and Dad was scraping out the ice that has built up (maybe because it has snowed every week for 2 months!?) and chopping out the ice and doing a lot of muttering, grunting and making noises. I made him laugh really hard because I started grunting too and imitating how he was stooped over. I was also throwing ice chunks back into the lake just to see if it would splash. I LOVE to be outside. It has been nice with the warm weather this week! It's supposed to get cold again this weekend.

Good times.

P.S. Amma and Pop are going to Arizona today for the weekend. They are looking at houses and looking to go toe to toe with a few bottles of Pinot Noir. I wish they would take me along... just me though... trust me here Amma, Beau would be too hard for you, so just take me. Please. I promise not to make too big a deal out of the fact that Poppy is currently my hero. Seriously Amma, I will NOT "Blind Bobby" you! I Swear!

Busy day...

I am off to Becky's today. I am a little bummed but only because I don't like to have to hustle in the mornings. Here is new picture of Beau for you. He is getting pretty big and he is a good sleeper now (like I care!)

Have a great day!
