Holiday Trains in Cincinnati

2009-01-03T08:25:00.003-06:00

Since Thanksgiving, we have been very busy visiting family and friends. Here are a few pictures from our visit with the Edwards in Cincinnati. Noah and Brady are both very fond of trains, especially Thomas the Tank Engine. The Duke Energy Holiday train display in downtown Cincinnati was a huge treat. We topped off the cold Cincinnati night with cookies for the boys and hot chocolate for the parents.

Noah and Brady got a special treat... Thomas and Percy!

Festival of Trees and Trains

2008-12-01T21:01:00.003-06:00

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, we traveled to Ashland to visit family and enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at Nana Whitt's. While there, we couldn't miss the opportunity to take Brady to the Paramount Arts Center's Festival of Trees and Trains. The Paramount was decorated with close to 100 Christmas trees but Brady did not notice any of them. He was focused on the 3 large model train sets. He even got to run one of the trains with the help of a retired CSX engineer (and old friend of Uncle Bob's).

Brady was very proud of himself when he made the train say 'all aboard'...

Halloween...

2008-11-13T21:12:00.003-06:00

It is never too late to see Halloween pictures of Brady!

Brady and Grandpa...

Even though it is Halloween, trains are still top priority for Brady...

Brady receiving a treat from his great-grandparents - Goldfish!

I love this picture because neither Nick or Brady realize there is more than just a shiny blue wrapper. Maybe next year they will learn how to unwrap and see what is inside.

It's pumpkin picking time...

2008-10-29T19:21:00.002-06:00

On Saturday, we spent a beautiful fall morning at the Gallrein Farm in Shelbyville, KY. Brady took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch. Once there, Brady was so overwhelmed by the endless field of pumpkins that Daddy had to find the perfect pumpkins for each of us. We also enjoyed feeding some of the farm animals and climbing the hay pyramid.

UK football...

2008-10-13T18:51:00.002-05:00

Brady's first football game of the season was UK vs. Western. He was so lucky that his cousins, Jordan, Jacob, and Jill, joined him in cheering on the Cats. His mommy and daddy were also lucky to have great little babysitters during tailgate.

Here is an extra picture from a recent fall festival in Louisville, the Adam Matthews Balloon Glow. I couldn't resist posting it.

Ike blows into Louisville...

2008-09-21T20:09:00.005-05:00

Last Sunday, the remnants of Hurricane Ike hit Louisville leaving 300,000 without power - including us. Even without power, we were very fortunate to have no damage to our house or yard. We stayed with Grandma & Grandpa a few nights, enjoying their power and company. Since school was cancelled, we spent several afternoons at the zoo enjoying the wonderful fall-like weather. On Wednesday, after school was cancelled for the rest of the week and the power was still out, Mommy and Brady went to Ashland to visit Nana and Grandad (unfortunately, we did not take our camera with us). We returned to Louisville on Saturday, hoping to have power. Finally, our power returned Saturday evening.

Brady happy to have power on Sunday morning...

It was a very long week but we appreciated our family and friends' company!

It's Football Time in the Bluegrass...

2008-09-04T20:33:00.002-05:00

Sunday began one of our favorite fall traditions, UK football. The UK vs. U of L game was in Louisville this year, so we cheered on the Cats in Ashland with our tailgating family. Thanks to Jack and Susie Daniel for hosting us. Brady did slow down long enough to get a few pictures.

Go Cats!

Brady Starts School...

2008-08-21T19:42:00.003-05:00

On Monday, Brady began attending the Friends School's 2 day program. He took his lunch in his Thomas the Train lunchbox, met a new friend, and enjoyed exploring his classroom. Here are a few pictures from his first day.

Brady's New Love...

2008-08-18T18:07:00.003-05:00

I am sharing a few pictures of Brady and his elephants (he says el-we). He is very into elephants right now and loves finding pictures of them in his books. We have made many trips to the zoo this summer to see them.

New York, New York...

2008-08-10T21:06:00.003-05:00

This being the last year for Yankee Stadium, Ben wanted to make a trip to NYC to see 'the house that Ruth built' (his obsession with baseball finally paid off for me!). We had a wonderful 3 days in New York with perfect weather. Here are a few pictures....

Ben and I at Yankee Stadium watching the Yankees vs. Los Angeles Angels. Do you see how big Ben's smile is? I don't think he has ever smiled so big!

Ben in front of the new Yankee Stadium. I am trying to convince Ben that I am such a huge baseball fan now that I really want to see a game in the new stadium.

Beach Bum....

2008-07-23T09:03:00.004-05:00

After a few days at the beach, Brady has turned into a true beach bum (hair and all)!

Brady watching the sunset from his ocean pool.

Brady loves carrying his shovel and rake around the condo but doesn't want to dig in the sand.

Brady's first days at the beach....

2008-07-21T08:00:00.002-05:00

We arrived in Panama City Beach early Saturday morning to beautiful weather. Brady is unsure of the sand (and refuses to walk in it) but he enjoys the ocean waves rolling over his feet, sitting in his own ocean pool, and looking for fish in the water with daddy. Here are a few pictures of Brady first days at the beach.

Brady loves looking at seashells in his ocean pool (and he tries to eat them)!

Gotta go! We're off to the beach!

Lake Gaston, NC

2008-06-18T12:27:00.003-05:00

Brady, Momma, Daddy, and the Smith family went to Lake Gaston, NC last weekend. We met up with the Daniels' family, who were wonderful hosts all weekend by letting us play in their lake, ride their jet skis, and took us cruising on their boat. It was the perfect way to relax in 100 degree temperatures!

Brady is all smiles holding the 'water shooter' but it gave him many tears when he couldn't make it shoot like the big kids could!

Could Brady look anymore relaxed?

Thanks again to the Daniels for a wonderful extended weekend!

Etta Lou, Where are you?

2008-06-15T20:48:00.004-05:00

Brady has had a busy couple of weeks...It started with his girlfriend, Etta Lou, moving to Nashville. Before she moved, Brady and Etta were able to have a playdate.

We hope Etta visits often.

And here is a picture from Brady and Etta's first playdate....

2008-06-01T17:55:00.002-05:00

Here are a few recent pictures of Brady....

Brady's friend, Jack, invited him to Churchill Downs to watch the races.

Go Baby Go!

2008-05-04T20:58:00.004-05:00

This weekend, Louisville was abuzz with the running of the Kentucky Derby but Brady celebrated the derby differently. He played in his rocking horse in the morning, then we went to the zoo in the afternoon. In honor of the derby, Brady rode the carousel for the first time but I don't think he enjoyed it. Besides the carousel, it was a wonderful derby day!

Our big Brady...

2008-04-23T16:15:00.001-05:00

Here are a few recent pictures of Brady. He has become such a little boy (and no longer a baby)!

Brady in Central Park

2008-04-16T19:35:00.002-05:00

For Spring Break, Brady and I went to Ashland for several days. The weather was perfect so we had to make a stop by Central Park to play. In Ashland, life revolves around Central Park during the spring, summer, and fall. I have many wonderful memories of the park including many visits to the park with my Papa Whitt when I was young. We would eat lunch, feed french fries to a few lucky squirrels, and then head to the swings where he would push me so high that I knew I was going to flip over. Hopefully, Brady will make his own memories there.

Brady loved the swings. This was his first time on a swing and I think he would have stayed all day!

Brady and Grandad hanging out on the porch...

Brady visits the zoo

2008-04-09T21:42:00.004-05:00

With wonderful Spring temperatures in Louisville on Sunday, we headed to the zoo for our first family zoo trip!

Brady saw Scotty, the baby elephant, who is the same age as Brady. I think you can barely see Scotty beside his mother in the picture.

I think Brady was a big fan of the gorillas, especially after he got up close and personal with this one.

I think Brady's favorite part of the zoo didn't involve any of the animals. He could have watched the train all day.

It was time to go, but first it was feeding time for the giraffes (feeding cost $1). Brady's mom and dad quickly learned that the zoo staff do not take credit or have change.

It was a wonderful day! Hopefully, the first of many zoo trips this year!

Happy Easter!

2008-03-24T19:37:00.004-06:00

Last weekend, Brady celebrated Easter with his cousins at Nana and Grandad's. They all had an Easter egg hunt but Jordan, Jacob, and Jill had strict instructions not to 'find' Brady's eggs (they were easy to spot because they were the ones in the middle of the yard). The Easter eggs were not hard to find but I don't think Brady wanted to look for them.

Brady found the Easter basket that the Easter bunny left for him. Of course, chocolate was absent from his basket but he did get Goldfish and Animal Crackers for a treat - yummy!

For Easter, Brady went to Grandma and Grandpa's for Easter dinner. He had another Easter egg hunt but this time he was much more interested in the street. Brady also got an Easter bunny that he made at Build-a-Bear with Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Christian.

Brady turns 1!

2008-02-28T20:56:00.004-06:00

On Saturday, Brady's Mom, Dad, Nana, Grandad, Grandma, Grandpa, 4 great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins celebrated his first birthday! For his first birthday, Brady got to enjoy his first cupcake. As you can see, I think he liked it - blue is Brady's color!

Happy 1st Birthday Brady!

Brady's First Haircut....

2008-02-27T17:44:00.002-06:00

As you can see from the above picture, it was finally time for Brady to get his first haircut (and he had to look good for his first birthday). So, we headed to Cookie Cutter's to get his haircut. There, Brady rode in a red car, watched Baby Einstein, and oh yeah, he also got a haircut. To top of the day, Brady was given his first balloon for being a good customer.

Brady's First Snow...

2008-02-15T15:06:00.003-06:00

On Monday evening, it started snowing in Louisville. By Tuesday morning, we had about 4 inches of snow with a top layer of ice... which meant no school for Momma and Daddy went to work late (yeah!). So that morning, we bundled up Brady in his snowsuit and took him out to play. Unfortunately, the ice made it very difficult for him to walk around or feel the snow.

Happy Birthday Jack!

2008-02-12T19:43:00.000-06:00

On Saturday, Brady went to Jack's first birthday party! He loved playing with his friends and then Jack showed Brady how to eat birthday cake! As you can see in the last picture, Brady was eyeing Jack's yummy cake but Jack was not going to share. That's okay Brady, you will get to try cake soon!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Spring fever....

2008-02-03T13:51:00.000-06:00

After weeks of cold weather and freezing temperatures, Brady and Dad are ready for Spring! So on Sunday, they headed to the Louisville Slugger Musuem with big hopes and dreams for the upcoming Reds season. The Cincinnati Reds Winter Caravan travels around Reds Country to give baseball fans with cabin fever something to look forward to in the Spring. Grandpa and Grandma joined Dad and Brady to meet several Reds players, coaches, announcers, and Mr. RedLegs. Go Reds!

As you can see from the pictures, there was so much baseball excitement that Brady could not keep his eyes on the camera! Also, Brady is getting so big that he has already grown out of his first Reds hat!

January Brady...

2008-01-21T20:17:00.000-06:00

After all the excitement of the holidays, Brady has been relaxing for a couple of weeks (and growing a lot). He needs a haircut! He has grown out of his infant car seat and is now in a bigger one (which he can use until he is 5!). And, his favorite toy is the dining chair - he can move it all over the dining room. Oh, and I forgot to mention that he is walking across the floor on his own. Brady has definitely become a little boy in January and his mom and dad can not believe how fast he is changing!

Happy 60th Birthday Grandad!

2008-01-09T19:54:00.000-06:00

Happy 60th Birthday Grandad! We all wish we could celebrate with you (lying on the beach) in Florida! Since we can't be there, here are a few pictures of our good times together! Love, Brady

Of course, aunt Julie did a very cool slideshow of Grandad, to view click on the link below:

Brady's First Christmas

2007-12-27T19:07:00.001-06:00

Brady had a wonderful first Christmas with family. He celebrated Christmas Eve with the Smith's in Ashland. His Nana and Grandad hosted their traditional breakfast on Christmas morning, making breakfast for 29 guests. Then, Brady came to Louisville on Christmas Day and celebrated with the Jenkins'. His Grandpa and Grandma hosted Christmas dinner, then everyone watched Brady open his gifts. The day after Christmas, Santa brought Brady a rocking horse and a few treats for his stocking.

The first of many, many gifts that Dad will put together! Enjoy Dad!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

2007-12-18T21:11:00.001-06:00

This past weekend, Brady was very busy visiting with his family. He traveled to Ashland where he and Jill played and wore their matching pjs (thanks Jill for the pjs!). Next, he stopped by his Uncle Bob's. Then, he went to a Montavon family Christmas party at Jane and Jack's house. There, Brady saw everyone from his great grandmother Rosemary to Santa Claus. What a party!

Oh Christmas Tree!

2007-12-18T20:56:00.000-06:00

Even though the pictures are several weeks old, here is Brady admiring the Christmas tree for the first time. Lucky for his Mom and Dad, he is not very interested in the Christmas tree (of course, he is more interested in the box the tree was in!).

2007-11-29T16:55:00.000-06:00

The Paramount Arts Center in Ashland has an annual Festival of Trees and Lights. Brady, Mom, and Nana enjoyed seeing the beautifully decorated Christmas trees but Brady most enjoyed watching the model train. Brady met Santa for the first time and had his picture taken with him by a wonderful photographer (his aunt Julie)!

Also, enjoy some holiday cheer courtesy of Brady's aunt Julie by visiting the website below

2007-11-11T16:46:00.000-06:00

This week, Brady has made a lot of progress with crawling - he can now crawl backwards. He is also starting to learn to balance himself when standing. We are amazed everyday how much he is changing!

Gotta go brady-proof the house!

Brady's First Halloween

2007-11-04T08:58:00.001-06:00

On Halloween eve, Brady helped Dad clean out the inside of the pumpkin then he carved his first jack-o-lantern with Dad. For Halloween, Brady dressed up in his spider costume and visited family and friends. With all the parties, tricks, and treats, Brady has decided Halloween is his favorite holiday!

Brady was the cutest trick-or-treater to visit Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins!

Brady's First Halloween Party!

2007-10-30T17:28:00.000-06:00

On Sunday, Brady hosted his first Halloween party and invited all of his friends. They all came dressed and ready to party (sort of)! We were having too much fun watching the babies to remember to take pictures but here are a few.

Jack

Etta

Nick

Ethan

Andrew

Brooklynn

Does it get any cuter than this?

2007-10-23T18:57:00.000-05:00

Brady went to Ashland so Aunt Julie could take his picture. Honestly, does it get any cuter than this? Thanks Julie (I can't wait to see the rest)!

go to Julie's Blog to see a few more pictures from the session:

Unbelievable.....

2007-10-14T07:44:00.000-05:00

Brady only knows UK football as being a top ranked program but his Mom and Dad remember when the best part of UK football was the tailgating. Not anymore! On Saturday, UK beat #1 ranked LSU and Brady was there through the third overtime win (5 hours). Brady tailgated with his cousins, cheered on the Cats, and took some naps in between plays.

Go Blue!

Brady's New Toy

2007-10-09T18:59:00.000-05:00

Brady's uncle Josh and aunt Brandy gave him a Tigger Jumper. He loves bouncing and jumping all around in it. I think this has become his new favorite toy. Thanks Josh and Brandy! Also, check out Brady's first 2 teeth in the last picture.

Hello Fall!

2007-09-29T07:08:00.000-05:00

Friday night, Brady, Mom, & Dad went to the Bluegrass Balloon Festival at Bowman Field. Brady walked inside of a hot air balloon, watched hot air balloons inflate, and was amazed by a field of hot air balloons all firing at the same time. It truly is an amazing sight to see for all ages!

Goodbye Summer!

2007-09-24T20:30:00.000-05:00

Brady wanted to celebrate the end of summer in Nana and Grandad's pool so we headed to Ashland for the weekend. Lucky for Brady, Grandad had his pool heater replaced and working before he got there and the pool temperature was just right. After 3 days of swimming, Brady was a little waterlogged but we all enjoyed spending the hot days relaxing in the pool.

In between swimming, Brady visited with his great grandmothers, had a slumber party with Jordan, Jacob, and Jillian, and cheered on the Cats to ANOTHER victory with Baby Ava at Jack and Susie's.

Brady & Jack

2007-09-18T07:13:00.000-05:00

On Sunday, Jack invited Brady over for a cookout. The boys had a great time playing together. Jack shared his toys and showed Brady how cool it is to crawl (I don't think Brady was interested though). Brady's Mom and Dad enjoyed themselves as well - great company, great weather and of course, great food (Jack's Dad is a chef)!

Wow! Look how much they have grown since their first playdate! They are getting too big!

The Cutest Wildcat Fan...Ever!

2007-09-07T19:11:00.000-05:00

On Saturday, Brady became the newest member of Nana and Grandad's tailgating group. He tailgated for about 4 hours before the game, then went into the game to cheer on the Cats. Brady is looking forward to an exciting football season.

Go Blue!

It's Football Time..... in the Bluegrass!

2007-09-01T10:26:00.000-05:00

Go Cats!

Brady sits up!!

2007-08-26T09:37:00.000-05:00

Last Sunday, Brady began sitting up on his own. This week, he has enjoyed showing off his latest accomplishment to his Grandparents. Since sitting up, Dad and Brady have enjoyed playing ball together - Dad is looking forward to this for many years to come.

Cookouts & Baseball...It's Summertime!

2007-08-21T07:58:00.000-05:00

Brady's Daddy thinks there is nothing better than cookouts and baseball during the summertime. On Sunday, Brady went to Grandpa and Grandma Jenkins' for a cookout. We enjoyed nice weather, good food, and some family time. Brady entertained us by wearing his Reds hat. He hasn't given up on the Reds yet (even though Daddy has), he has even put on his rally cap!

Brady has a 'Great' family.....

2007-08-19T09:36:00.000-05:00

This week, Brady's Great Nana and Great Great Uncle Bob were passing through Louisville on their way to Memphis. They stopped by, along with his Great Uncle Randy, to visit with Brady. Brady was very lucky because his Great Great Uncle Bob loves holding babies - and Brady loved being held!

More Beach Pictures....

2007-08-08T19:02:00.000-05:00

Dad, Mom, and Brady stayed for a second week at the beach. Here are more pictures of Brady's vacation.

Brady Visits the Beach

2007-07-28T10:14:00.000-05:00

Brady needed some time away so he decided to take a vacation. He went to Seagrove Beach, outside of Destin, along with his Mommy, Daddy, Nana, Grandad, Aunt, Uncles, and cousins. He loved sucking the salt water off his fingers, napping on the beach, being entertained by Jordan, Jacob, and Jill, and lounging by the pool - he's a natural beach bum! He and Mommy also celebrated birthdays. Brady's 5-month and Mommy's 30th - not a bad way to celebrate your birthday!

Thanks Nana and Grandad for the trip - we had a wonderful time! Here are the pictures to prove it!

Brady Visits the House of Blue

2007-07-23T11:56:00.000-05:00

Brady took his first trip to Lexington to visit the House that Rupp built. Here are a few pictures of the newest Wildcat fan! We think we heard Brady whisper Go Blue!

Thanks aunt Christian for bringing your camera since my mommy and daddy forgot theirs!

Cookout & Playdate

2007-07-15T20:41:00.000-05:00

Recently, Brady invited his friends, Jack and Etta, over for a cookout. The weather was great, the babies were wonderful, and his Mom and Dad got to enjoy visiting with other new parents. Here are some pictures from the evening.

Look at those boys eyeing Etta...I think Brady and Jack may have to fight over her.

Brady's First Reds Game....and Fireworks!

2007-07-05T18:52:00.000-05:00

Brady had an exciting and busy first Fourth of July holiday in Cincinnati. He saw his first Reds game, saw Barry Bonds hit his 751st homerun, watched fireworks after the game, and stayed in a hotel. Whew!

Brady and Mommy at dinner before the game.

Brady ready to cheer on the Reds in his first Reds t-shirt.

Brady's First Tailgate ... sort of

2007-07-01T18:02:00.000-05:00

Nana, Grandad and their friends couldn't wait until football season to tailgate so they decided to start early. The real story is that a local magazine in the Ashland area is writing a story on tailgating and wanted some pictures for the magazine. Brady joined the tailgating gang to get some practice tailgating before the season starts.

Go Blue!

Grandad and Brady - Go Blue!

Brady with the cutest UK girls - Jordi, Caroline and Baby Ava!

Nana and Brady with Baby Ava and Mamaw Susie - I think the grandmothers are trying for a love connection!

Go Cats!

Brady at 4 Months

2007-06-28T21:19:00.000-05:00

Brady turned four months on June 26th. He wanted to share a few pictures of what he has been up to lately.

I ate cereal for the first time. Thanks Nana for helping Mom and Dad (they don't know what they are doing)!

I went to the Smith family reunion at Greenbo State Park. Look at me being held by my cousin Jordan.

I went to a Bats game with my Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins.

I hung out with my Dad....

and Mom.

I got a new toy and I think I am going to love it!

Happy Father's Day!

2007-06-18T20:46:00.001-05:00

Brady wanted to wish his Daddy, Grandad (Smith), Grandpa (Jenkins) and Great-Grandpa (Jenkins) a very happy Father's Day. As you can see, he loves hanging out with all of them - usually to watch a ballgame. Happy Father's Day to the wonderful fathers in Brady's life!

Pool Party!

2007-06-13T21:21:00.001-05:00

This weekend, Brady visited his Nana and Grandad in Ashland and couldn't wait to cool off in the pool. Brady enjoyed floating in his crab and splashing in the water and his Nana and Grandad loved watching him!

To keep the sun out of his eyes, Brady wore his sunglasses just like Daddy!

Brady's Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins stopped by to watch Brady swim laps.

Brady turns 3.......months!

2007-05-27T07:36:00.000-05:00

We wanted to share some of our favorite moments and pictures from the past 3 months. Unfortunately, we couldn't put all 475 pictures on here. From birth to 3 months, you can see how much Brady has grown. You can click on the pictures for a full size view.

Happy Mother's Day...

2007-05-14T19:36:00.000-05:00

Brady enjoyed Mother's Day with his favorite Mom and Grandmothers.

First, Mommy and Brady enjoyed a picnic at the park with Daddy.

Then, Brady went to a cookout at his uncle Josh's and aunt Brandy's and spent some time with Grandma.....

Finally, Nana came to stay with him for the week while Mommy starts back to work....for nine days.

Brady's Two Month Birthday

2007-05-04T09:11:00.000-05:00

Brady turned two months old on April 26th. What did he get as a birthday present? Four shots in the legs. Poor boy! He took it really well though. And after a long hard day, he thought he would just sit on the couch and watch some tv.

Who does Brady look like?

2007-04-26T14:45:00.000-05:00

I thought I would share with everyone how desperate Ben is to have Brady look like him. What do you all think, does he look like his daddy? Do you think a five o'clock shadow is a good look for a 2 month old?

2007-04-18T21:11:00.000-05:00

Brady's aunt Julie couldn't wait to get her camera on him. Here are a few of the pictures she took of him. To view all of the pictures Julie took, click on the link http://www.juliethackerphotography.com/slideshows/ and enter the password: jenkins

Mommy is very happy to have a photographer in the family!

Brady's First Easter

2007-04-08T19:19:00.000-05:00

Brady celebrated his first Easter at his Nana and Grandad's house. Nana and Grandad couldn't wait to show him off so they invited the entire Smith family for Easter dinner. Doesn't he look adorable in his Easter outfit?

Play Ball!

2007-04-01T09:47:00.000-05:00

Brady says it's baseball season. So he threw on his uniform and he is ready to play....and so is Dad! Go Reds!!

Brady's First Playdate

Today, Brady had his first playdate with Jack. Do they look like they are having fun?

I met Jack's mom, Chyllene (a fellow Byck teacher) for lunch at Cafe LouLou.

Happy one month, Brady!!

Its a lot of work growing like this... On his one month checkup, Brady weighed in at 10lb 6oz and 22.5 inches long (7lb 13oz and 19.5 inches at birth).

The cord finally fell off. And thus, it was time for Brady's first bath....on his first month birtday!! Here are a few pictures of Brady before, during, and after the bath. He probably felt about as comfortable as we did. But, we will all get the hang of it soon.
