note from mom

To celebrate Mothers Day I asked Brian to take me to Epcot for Flower and Garden Festival. Brennan loves to ride Spaceship Earth which he calls the Big Ball. This was Baby Bradley's first time on this attraction.

I love seeing the topiaries.

Getting ready to send Bradley to day care, my freezer is full of Breast Milk. By my guesstimate I have over 100 bags of milk. It will go fast though.

Shuttle Launch - or not

The Space Shuttle Endevour was supposed to launch on Fri April 29th. Since Mom and Dad had never seen a launch they decided to take me and Bradley. All week they made preparations for our outing.

This is Mom, Bradley and me eating dinner at Logans. I like it because I can throw peanuts on the floor.

Just me and my brother

So Friday morning Bradley woke up early for a feeding at 6am. Both mom and dad got up and watched the royal wedding. Mom was really into it, dad not so much, but he really liked the music.

We got up and moving, went to publix for some picnic items and then hit the road. We made really good time and Dad commented on 528 that he thought we would be sitting in traffic, but we cruised on through. Mom found Sand Point Park on the internet. We could watch the launch and there was playground. Once we exited at Titusville we got into traffic, but slowly made our way to the park.

Mom set up a picnic while Dad and I played on the playground.

Mom even made Bradley a NASA onesize with a picture of the shuttle on the back and the mission patch on the arms. It was really cute until he pooped on it. But mom says that poop happens!

BB called mom around 2pm to tell her that the launched was scrubbed. That explained why a lot of people left the park 2 hours ago, but it didn't phase the Hocks. I mean how often do you drive 100 miles to play on a playground? Dad decided to make a day of it anyway. Here is a picture of the VAB from where we were going to watch the launch.

Bradley and I fell asleep and Dad drove down A1A since mom had never been into Coaco Beach. At Patrick AFB Air Force One was parked. I guess President Obama didn't get the message of the scrub in time either.

Here is the problem with traveling with Toddlers. We can't hold it very long when we need to potty. But lucky for Mom and Dad, I am a boy and the whole world can be my restroom.

Mom and Dad took us down to Vero Beach and we stopped at the Disney Resort for dinner. I needed to get the wiggles out. Dad and I played on the grassy area.

Dad and us at dinner.

i like to play outside in our pool.

this is a picture of me three years ago in our old pool.

Easter Morning

The Easter Bunny came while we were sleeping and left lots of goodies

He also thoughtfully hid 30 eggs around the house. Mom thought this was funny b/c he put the dinosaur egg with my Toy Story friends.

Right now I am into Superman, I like to sing his song. And the bunny got me a Superman shirt that I wear everyday. On the ride home I make dad play the Superman song on his iPod. Thankfully mom washes the shirt everyday so I can put it on when I get home from school.

I also love the Spiderman socks I got from Paw Paw Ray and Debbi. I am a real super hero on the hunt for the eggs.

There was a basketall egg in the basketball hoop! Silly bunny!

Football eggs, by the football books.

I found them all, with a little help from Mom.

Easter 2011

Paw Paw Bob and Maw Maw Debbie came for a visit. Here is baby Bradley with Paw Paw Bob
with Maw Maw Debbie and Paw Paw Bob together.

They always bring me toys. Paw Paw Bob brought me a crane like the ones he works on. It is so tall (taller than me and I am 37.5 inches)

On Sat we went to the Haines City Easter Egg Hunt. Here I am with the Bunny

Here we are all together

There were 12,000 eggs and half a baseball field just for 3 year olds.

Here is video of me on the Hunt

4/7-4/9

Nana came back for a visit. Here she is doing her favorite past-time bathing the boys. This time she is getting baby Bradley ready for his first visit to the Magic Kingdom

It takes awhile to get us all out the house, but finally in the afternoon, we were on Monorail Gold. I love riding Monty.

Here we are at the turnstiles. Bradley is about to go through for his first time.

Here we are!

We went to Pirates, because that is the Hock family tradition. Capt Jack was recruiting new pirates and I was picked to come up and sword fight with the first mate. I was the smallest person chosen, but I did a really good job. Too bad mom's camera decided not to record my efforts.

To celebrate we got ice cream.

Then we saw there was only a 10 min wait to see Mickey. Here we are with him!

The nexy day Mimi and Nana surprised Dad with a crawfish boil. The crawfish were FedEx to us and then Kebbie (Kevin), came over and boiled em up.

Oh my, I am ready!

50 lbs gone but with little help from me. I didn't like them very much, but I ate lots of sasuages!
