Our Very First Black Eye (and other stuff!)
I still haven't found the time to put together our 4th of July weekend post, but I took some great pictures today that I have to share.
Monday, during neighborhood playgroup, Bray got a little boo-boo. One of the neighborhood girls was playing with a bat and Brady just walked right into her swing. Owch!! I took him to the pediatrician's office the next day and everything seems just fine. Our very first shiner! Poor little man!
Yesterday, Memaw and Grandpa brought over a GREAT new hand-me-down for the boys...courtesy of Aunt Diana, Uncle David and cousins Max, Zach and Jack. AWESOME!
Of course the boys had to take it for a spin this morning as soon as humanly possible.
Luckily, our neighbors don't seem to mind a few track marks in their yards...yikes!
Our favorite babysitter brought over her brand new, beautiful baby girl this afternoon for lunch. The boys were totally ga-ga for Lyla! Logan perched himself on the couch and asked if he could please hold her. He's been through this whole "gentle with the baby thing" before!
This is Brady after lunch (shirt removed for peanut butter filled celery). He was SO distraught that he couldn't hold the baby (wrapped in the pink blanket taking a nap on the couch). When he first saw her, he tried his hardest to push me out of the way so he could grab her like a little baby doll (something we didn't let him do) and kiss her (something we did let him do!)
After the boys were in bed tonight, I was straightening up and went to close the curtains to the back window. While I was pulling them shut, I saw a beautiful, BIG rainbow outside! I said to Brian, "go get Aiden quick!!" We knew he was still awake because we could hear him knocking around in his room. Of course you've got to get the rainbow-lovin' kid up for a peek at this beaut! The picture doesn't do it justice...but Aiden appreciated it!

About Me
- Renay
- Stories about BRLAB: Brian & Renay, two relatively sane parents, and our three adorable, but active boys: Logan - 9, Aiden - 7 and Brady - 6. I started this blog to document our adventures and milestones for those family members who are far away and can't always share the fun in person. This blog has become my way to keep track of everything in the lives of my growing boys - from the super big stuff that seems the most important to the small things that probably really ARE the most important. I always include tons of pictures because I plan to make a book out of the blog on a yearly basis. Time flies by so fast, I can only hope that these posts will help us remember all the wonderful and silly times we have together as a family.

You are just such an awesome Mommy. Getting Aiden up to see a rainbow is just the kind of thing that makes for wonderful childhood memories - and your picture of that will be such a memory for you when they're grown with kids of their own!
Poor little Bray's eye! That is quite a shiner - must have really hurt!
LOVE the new Jeep in the family. What a cool, cool gift from Memaw and Grandpa! (even if it's a hand-me-down - obviously Logan and Aiden couldn't care less!)
Hang in there - you're doing a fantastic job even on the tough days!
