Brady's Labor Day...a little R&R!

Brady catching a few zzzz's on Pa's front porch swing on Labor Day!  He really enjoyed being outside.  It was a relaxing day just watching him sleep.  What a sweet baby boy!

My Baby is having a baby!

It doesn't seem possible that my baby, Tandi Elizabeth, is having a baby!  She is 20 weeks (Labor Day week).  We can't wait until Sadie Elizabeth gets here!

Tandi, you look beautiful! 

My babies!

Madi enjoys holding Brady for a few minutes and then she's tired of him.  Today is UT's first game of the season.  I had Madi a UT dress but it was too big.  :(  The sleeves wouldn't stay on her shoulders.  Need to get her a white shirt to wear under it.  It was bugging me so I know it was her too!
But, Brady is dressed in his big orange and ready for the game to begin!  GO VOLS!

The REVEAL PARTY! And, IT'S A GIRL!

The cake is PINK!

It's a GIRL!

Sweet outfit from Sheila

One of many gifts from Aunt Portia

Madi helping with the gifts!

She had a gift too...a new book!

No wardrobe is complete without something orange and white!

The party began at 6 with a taco bar.  The food was yummy and we had way too much, as usual!  Next came the gifts and then the grand finale of cutting the cake.  Everyone gathered in the living room while Stacy and Tandi stood in the hallway.  When Tandi lifted the cake and it was pink, everyone screamed with delight!  MamMaw screamed and danced!

  Those present were: me, Greg, Madi, Johnny, Portia, Aubrey, Lozena, Steve, Suzie, Mary, Chris, Stephanie, Carson, Reg, Peggy, Brandon, Amy, Kipton, Ronnie, Sheila, Marley, Megan, Barbara, Art, Judy

Everyone had so much fun!  Thank you Portia and Suzie for all your help!

Now, we are preparing for our little Princess, Sadie Elizabeth, to arrive!

Brady Christian is ONE month old!

Check out that hint of a smile!

Our sweet baby boy, Brady, is one (1) month old today!  He changes every single day!  He loves to snuggle and he loves his mother more than anyone.  I don't blame him either; she is a sweetheart! 
My life is more enriched everyday because of my family!  I love, love, love them...so much!

Madi's August Visit

All Smiles at Poppie's house!

What a life...barefoot, swinging on the front porch and eating chips!

It's all in a day at Pa's house!

Welcome Brady Christian Shanks

Brady Christian arrived on Monday, August 2, 2010, at 6:45 pm.  He weighed 6 lbs 9 ozs; 20 inches long.  Portia was a trooper during the whole birth.  She maintained her hair-do, makeup and even wore earrings.  Dr. Johnson was impressed!  :)  There were approximately 25 people in the waiting room anxiously awaiting Brady's arrival.
