Fort Bragg road trip

Me and my sister took all three of our boys to Fort Bragg over the holiday weekend to visit with our grandparents and so they could meet Jaxson too! I was a little hesitant at first to go on a four hour car ride with a one year old, a two year old and a 2 month old but it went great. All of the boys did great in the car and in Fort Bragg.

It was fun getting to show off all of our boys to Grandma, Grandpa and our Uncles. Darren was just like us when we were little and wanted to go on walks around the property with Grandpa, that super made me smile to think that another generation is getting to experience what we did! Hope we get to go back soon.

Thanksgiving 2011

So so much to be thankful for this year, most of all we are so blessed to have a happy loving family.

A great Sunday

Today was a great Sunday! We had a big breakfast where Darren helped make pancakes, we had craft time, did a little bit of Christmas shopping and then just relaxed around the house playing games the rest of the day. Good one!

Pictures of the week

Eating pancakes, watching Pixar shorts...a perfect Saturday morning!

The top couple pictures of Braden and the garbage can was a super cute milestone for him. Darren started a fascination with stickers about a year ago and liked to put them everywhere (like most kids) and to prevent them from being on the walls and in my shoes, we decided he was allowed to put them on the garbage can only. This way it was still a "fun" place to put them and he could see them all the time. Braden has been witnessing this for a year now and I never thought to let him try because he is so little still. With that said, when I was cleaning out the boys closet last week, Braden was trying to help but really making lots more work for Mommy so I handed him a sticker I found while cleaning, without hesitation he walked out of his room and straight to the garbage can! It was so cute, goes to show they are always watching and taking things in.

Superfranks

This was Daddy's first time going to Superfranks with us! The boys had a blast, even Tim who was asking me for more tokens for the arcade!

visit with our cousin

The boys had their cousin Jaxson over to our house for the first time last week. Darren did really well with him, he seemed interested in what he was doing and Braden was intrigued when he would hear him make noises.

great memory

After trick or treating and eating a lollipop in each hand last night, he couldn't bare to part with his precious candy. He refused to give up his pumpkin with candy so Mommy gave in and let him sleep with it. I waited until he fell asleep and then put it away because if anyone knows our mischievous dog Baron you know he would be all over that!
