A Week In Review

Just a few pics from the past week of Mr. Braden. :)

Do I look good in sunglasses? :)
Seriously...do I? :)
Just practicing my smile again........ :)

Braden is loving his newest toy! :) He will sit on my lap in front of it and then just stand up on his own to get a better view. It is nuts! :)
My parents make me wear shirts that say I love them. :) They must need that reassurance. :)

Oh how glad I am to be sitting up in shopping carts and highchairs at restuaurants now!! This is so much better than that dang carseat! :) I can see everything.......

And does my smile show how much I love this new contraption? :) Dad can take me on long walks in it, and I heard that we are planning to do a family trip out of state at some point in the near future. I think this will be super fun to ride around in! :)
Camera happy baby! :)
Can I just have ONE day off without smiling? :) My shirt says that I am full of cuteness and I know my parents think I am. :)

Mom...do I SERIOUSLY have to take another pic? I am trying to play here! :)It is getting late and that yawn is kickin in....time to sign off for the week. :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Valentine's Day was super fun this year with my two boys! :) Good times and a packed day full of memories!

My first Valentine's Day... :)
I love all of these pics my mom makes me take. :) I just sit here and smile.......
But I would really rather just eat the hearts..... :) Beautiful roses from my hubby!! He always does such a great job on flowers! So thoughtful! :)

"I Love You" chocolate chip pancakes....
Do I get to eat these pancakes?
Have to get ready for church.. :) Heading downtown for VDay with my boys......
Garridos for lunch...yum! This tastes so good!!Eating outside rocks.......
Just taking a few more pics....... :) Cutest little shirt from my sweet friend Brandi. :) Our little heartbreaker. :)
So glad his heart only belongs to me right now! Whew... :)

I love my Valentine's Day pillow from Mimi.. :) She always sends me the best pillows for every holiday!

Valentine's Date Fun!! :)

Chris's dad came into Austin this weekend for some bonding time with his grandson. :) They had fun together and of course Braden got spoiled by all of the attention. HA! :) The three of us and Braden headed out to dinner on Friday night. We had a super tasty meal at Gloria's in The Domain...and our little man did very well at the trendy establishment. :) He made us proud! HA!

Lots of movies were seen over the weekend....(which Chris and I love to do of course)!! :) I got to see "Dear John" (loved it!), "Edge of Darkness" (way too gory for me), and "Valentine's Day" which we also really liked!! What a great movie with a wonderful cast!! :) Was anyone NOT in that movie? Goodness!! :)

Chris and I also got to go out on a fabulous Valentine's Day date on Saturday night while Papa Bugs kept Braden for us. That was very sweet of him, and we were super grateful for a wonderful night out. :) We celebrated our 5th Valentine's Day together this year!! YAY!! We decided our date this time would be to Steiner Ranch Steakhouse...and what a super choice that was! YUM!!! :)

Papa Bugs and Braden playing with all the toys. :) Date night...YAY!! :) Happy Valentine's Eve hubby!
Gorgeous view of Lake Travis from our table...Unreal sunset!! :) We are huge fans of Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. :)
Hanging out by the firepit....

Listening to the band..... Great night with my hubby and all is right with the world!! HA! :) Love you Chris! :)

Mr. B.....

Not much to say......just a couple of pics. :)

I look a little mischievous here.. :)

What a fun new way to ride around.... :) I am digging this!! :)

No Bathtime Blues....

Braden is weighing in at 17.5 lbs as he inches closer and closer to 6 months old. :) He is really starting to get close to growing out of his bathtub. HA!!! He is to the point where he has to sit up in order to be most comfortable. :)

He is so stinkin funny in the bathtub, and he enjoys his bath toys for sure. He LOVES the end of the bath when we give him a little massage with the warm water coming out of the sprayer. He could lay there for hours I think. :) Hysterical...

He decided last night that he would start hanging onto the sprayer hose during his bath. Have I mentioned that his personality cracks us up? :) This pic also makes me laugh b.c it makes his belly look so much bigger than it is! LOL! :) If he were a girl he would hate this pic one day! :)

We love you Baby B!! You have been so much fun to watch grow up! :)

SuperBowl Or BabyBowl?

So I am not sure if it was the SuperBowl or the BabyBowl over at Jack and Jenny's on Sunday night! HA!! Our small group got together to watch the game...and there were lots of kiddos hanging out for sure. :) Last year there were no kids in our small group, and now there are 6 little munchkins!! LOL! :) You gotta love it! :) Geaux Saints!! :)
