Brant's First Photo Shoot..

Brant had his first photo shoot in the beginning of April, and we had a lot of fun getting so many different pics of our little man. :) Our amazing friend Courtney is an incredible photographer and she takes the best pics!! :) We are so thankful to her for the wonderful moments that she has captured of our boys. You are the best Court! :)

Here are a few pics that showcase her talent....and our little miracles. :)

Happy 4 Year Anniversary!!

Chris and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary on Cinco de Mayo....WHOOP!!! I love my hubby so much and for so many reasons!! There could not be a better match for me than him, and I thank God everyday for bringing us together, and for our family. :)

I wish we could get married all over again b.c we have talked about how that was the most fun night of our lives! :) And the most expensive one too! LOL! :) What incredible memories we have had these past 4 years. :) For our anniversary dinner we headed down to Braise...a new restaurant in East Austin. It was VERY good and the company was better. :) We ate some filet mignon and osso bucco...and it just melted in your mouth!! YUM!! For dessert we thought we would try the chocolate chip bread pudding and it was so worth it!! :) I need to learn how to make that at home! :) It was a great dinner with some awesome wine and lots of good conversation. I love my hubby!! :) Happy 4th Anniversary babe....you are simply incredible. :) The meat was heavenly....with a little chipolte hollandaise sauce. :)

Fun At Daddy's Work....

Braden, Brant and I went up to work with Chris one morning....and boy did Braden think that was cool! :) It was fun to see all of Chris's coworkers as they are so great to us. And it was the first time that they have all gotten to see Brant, so that was fun as well. :) They are all so supportive, and it is always great to talk to everyone and catch up.

Braden played with some toys and ran around to check things out. He also went to the employee breakfast that they had....where I am sure he entertained everyone once he warmed up. :) I think the part he liked the best was getting to play in Dad's office, and checking out the view of downtown Austin and the Capitol. :)

I really like it here!! And I like sitting in the chair of the COO! :) I hope I grow up to be like my dad one day! :) This calculator is hard to understand. :( Does he really use this thing? Still trying to figure everything out in this big office. :) I know one thing for sure-I like this chair! :) Now I am going to sit over at the conference table and really get down to business. What are these post-it notes for anyway? I need some coffee to kick start the day....Hmmmm.....what did I say I needed to write down? :) Yes!! There is it...right there on that page! :) I love to read the newspaper in the mornings. :)

Austin Weekends Are Good...

The Bugbees have been in town for the past 3 1/2 months.....which is really strange for our family. Before we had Brant we traveled (roadtrips, etc) at least every other weekend. Based on me not being able to travel at the end of my pregnancy, then having Brant early, then dealing with the NICU, and then bringing a newborn home....we have been quarantined here in Austin for awhile. :) I am quite sure that I have never been in Austin for more than a month at a time....so being here for this long has been quite interesting. :) We are REALLY getting to know the city that we live in...and we have been having fun doing it. :) It is easier for us to pack out our weekends with fun family time doing various things rather than all being stuck in the house....so that is what we has been our plan. :)

We had a lot of fun the weekend of April 30th once again. We tried a new Mexican restaurant in Cedar Park on Friday night-Los Reyes. It was a hole in the wall but we thought the food was really good. Especially the sangria margaritas! Nice. :) Braden loves mexican so he is always happy when we pick a place like that. :)

Saturday morning was his last day of swimming lessons for that session. To celebrate him being such a good swimmer we decided that we needed to head on over to Noble Pig and give their sandwiches a try. Yum again!! We really liked that place too! :) Later that afternoon, after a long nap for the whole family, we headed out to Zilker Park. It was time to catch a ride on the train. :) Braden was thrilled about the adventure...and Brant just slept. HA! :) We watched everyone swimming in Barton Springs for awhile. I think we decided we should have been in there with them as the water looked SO refreshing! :)

Then it was time for the train!The tickets were selling out like crazy. Guess everyone had the same idea for the day. :)
Braden is ready to go. :) I am too busy looking around to look at the camera Mom!
We went under some bridges......
And saw some pretty views......All aboard!! :) They even let Braden sit in the driver's seat at the end of the ride. He thought that was pretty cool! :)
After a fun train ride we decided it was time to hit up another new restuarant in South Austin......the South Austin Bar and Grill of course. :) We finished off our day with a nice meal there and then it was time to head home for baths and bed. :) Whew....exhausting. :) We sure have had fun checking out everything in Austin that we had not checked out until now. :) Nothing like being a tourist in your own city...love it. :)

More And More Weight Gain!!

I took Mr Brant to the doc office this morning for a quick weight check (just b.c I was curious). :) He weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz and I was stoked! :) Isn't that like quadrupling your weight in less than 3 months? Rock on! :)

Keep the growing going......we are stoked for more weight gain! :)
