Another trip to the Bothwell Fire Department, this time Brady was happy to try on a helmet and a fire coat. He loves fire trucks right now and everything becomes his fire hose.

The Harvard's
The Canadian Harvard's Association hosts a Wings and Wheels Day in August. We often get to see them practising from our house. Brady was a little disappointed because he was too small to go for a ride. We tried to explain that he is too small, he has to wait until he gets bigger but he tells us he is already big!


Brady got to sit in a Lotus...a very expense car!








Hanging out with the boys...




Cooling Off
Brad cools off on a hot summer day in Brady's big pool! Brady had just filled it before Brad got home from work. He loves the one hose nossel, he pretends that he is a fireman putting out fires...he even has the stance.



Brady and his favourite Uncle Jay...he loves to talk about when he gets to help his Daddy and Jay fix our vehicles.



Is Thomas copying his Daddy already? Maybe but I think Brad was talking to him as he was cooing.
It was the hottest week in June and that was the week Brad had off to build the fence. We were luck enough to have little Brad to help as I was too pregnant to do anything. Brady loved helping and using little Brad's hammer. He also liked wearing his nail belt with just a diaper!

Aunt Diane's Birthday Party!! Brady and Keegan got to decorate the cake with lots of candies =)

Brad is teaching him a young age how to change tires!

Brady & Grandma made me a birthday cake. Here Brady helps me blow out the candles.
