Brody and the Toy

So Brody has this toy that my parents got him for Christmas. It is the one that you push the button, or turn it and an animal pops up. Well...he can't stand to have any of them open. The minute they open, he immediately shuts it. I got it on video below....it is hilarious! (I was trying to get him to say Uh-oh on video, which is his new favorite word, but of course, he wouldn't do it).

At the end of the video above, he started reaching towards me. Well...he was reaching for my hand to bring it to the toy and open the animals up again. Watch below......Although, he did shut his finger in one but he recovered quickly!

Not much else is going on. It is just Brody and I right now. Ted left on Tuesday to go to Hawaii....poor him, right?! He is supposed to be back next Friday, but he might have to leave again on Sunday for a week. We are not sure yet. I had to go to Colorado on Wednesday and I got back yesterday. The weather was actually much better than it was here......it was a record high of 62 on Thursday! I thought I was going to have to bundle up when I went, but I didn't need to. I had never been to Colorado before...it was very nice! Pikes Peak is right outside of our office there so I got to see that at sunset. Very pretty! :) I joked about getting a domestic passport since it looks like I will never be going overseas anytime soon. I have been to two states that I had never been to before in the last couple of months....Colorado and Washington!

My neighbor gave me a book last week that he wanted me to read. We are on complete opposite ends of the political viewpoints (as so it seems with me and most of the people I hang out with, including my husband). It was called the Lone Survivor and was written by the lone survivor of the Navy Seal team that died in Afghanstan in 2005, Marcus Lattrell. I read the entire book on the plane ride there and back and thought it was an excellent book. There were a few points where I had to shake my head at what the guy was saying about the liberal media and liberal this and liberal that, but the story itself was really powerful! I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I was not fully aware of the training Seals have to do and could not even comprehend what this man went through.

Other than that, not much else is going on. I hope everyone has had a good weekend!
