1 Year

One year has passed. One year has flown by. We blinked and before we knew it, he was one. Brevyn spent his first birthday doing fun things with his friend Mena. They did a "camp out" in the living room. Then we took him to America's Incredible Pizza (think Chuckie Cheese) for dinner and he enjoyed all the lights and games. After dinner we gave him his very first cupcake. All for him, needless to say, he enjoyed it.

The Arch on the 4th

As part of our 4th extravaganza, we went to Fair St. Louis at the Arch. It was Danny's 1st time to the Arch. Even though it was unnaturally hot, we did manage to have a good time. We listened to a little music, took a ride to the top and got to see an air show too. All before the crazy rainstorm rolled through. A great day.

Happy 4th of July!

Of course we had to do fireworks for the 4th of July. We went down to the St Charles waterfront. They put on a really great show. Brevyn LOVED the fireworks. We were worried that he would think they were scary. Not our kid. The whole experience was worth it to see the look on his face.

Your Tour Guide Brevyn

As part of Grandpa and Uncle Dan's visit, Brevyn took them to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. We all go to taste some beer. Even Brevyn got a sip of rootbeer. Brevyn is an old pro with the Brewery. We figure by age 5 he will be giving tours and telling everyone the 7 steps to brewing a perfect Budweiser.

Cardinal's Game

We went to the Cardinal's game (7-2-10). It was Dad, Danny and Brevyn's 1st Cardinal game. It was "brockabrella" night. Brevyn did not want to wear his. It was also military appreciation night. We got to see an awesome show by the 82nd Airborne. Brevyn got a bunny from Build-A-Bear and he named him Alberto. We got to see the Cards dominate the Brewers. It was a great night for baseball.

Swim Lessons

In June, Brevyn started taking swimming lessons. The lessons are more about getting used to the water and socialization, than actual swimming. They sing songs and do "swim" moves to the music. He does "laps." Our little duckie loves the water (except when Mommy dunks him).

Father's Day

Matt's 1st Father's Day was spent....well, being Brevyn's awesome Dad. They did some swimming in the pool, followed by a nice dinner. They are 2 little boys who love to play.

1st Steps!

Unfortunately these are not the actual first steps (no camera on hand). These are the steps that followed. Our little 10 1/2 month old went from infant to toddler in a flash. He is all over the place now. Pushing toys and running back and forth from the couch to the toys. We love you Brevyn, you make us so proud.

Jelly Man

One of Brevyn's favorite snacks is toast with the strawberry jam that his Mom and Dad made. He thinks it is delicious. However, I'm not so sure if I'm a fan of the teeny-tiny sugar rush that follows. The little devil in him comes out.

Hi Everybody!

Brevyn just wanted to wave hello to everyone.
