Color Splash!!

We have been having a lot of fun with "colors" lately. Braden is really into trying to learn them and he does pretty well. His favorite colors right now are green and yellow. :)

So we have been playing a lot with colors, reading books about them, etc.

He loves his time with sidewalk chalk! :) He has a lot of fun different ones that he can draw with. Go colors! :)

And we have fun finger paints for the bath too...and he thinks those are way cool! :)

He likes to paint on Daddy... :)

Looking forward to more fun ways to introduce colors to our little man! :)

I Love Milk!! :)

Ok here is the deal..Braden LOVES milk! HA! :) He gets so excited about it, so we are glad he is getting a lot of calcium for those bones to grow!! :)

The other day we had an empty gallon of whole milk so we put it into the recycling area to take out. I looked up a little while later and he had taken it out of the recycling, and decided to try to find a way to drain any last drop out of the carton. LOL!! It was hilarious! :) He just unscrewed the top and started trying to drink. :) Way to make it happen B! :)

Of course the only thing that makes it better is that he is shirtless. :)

Nursery #2 Is Ready To Go...

Brant's room is ready...HOORAY!!! We were excited to finish it and have it ready to bring our new baby home. :) Despite long nights of trying to figure out what we wanted to do in there...and actually doing it, we are glad to say it is complete! :)

We hope Brant likes it as much as we do! :)

We also redid the boys bathroom too...so that it would be a good combo of their two rooms. They both have patterns and some of the same colors...so we decided to stick with that. :)

Brant's room... :)

Don't You Want To Go Where Everybody Knows Your Name?

We have a lot of fun with Braden these days. This is my favorite age so far b.c he is so very vocal and we can have conversations. :) Lately we have been talking about his class at school and about all of his friends. His teachers told us that they can pull out a photo album with all of the kids faces in it and he will point to each one and say their names. How cute is that? So at home we talk about all of this friends in his class...and he gets really excited. :) He also tells them all goodbye by name when he leaves for the day. I LOVE IT! :)

The other cute thing is that all of his classmates call him "Bugbee". Guess that is easier to say than "Braden" at their age. Too fun. It reminds me of high school guys out on the football field or something..."Way to go Bugbee!"

We continue to be amazed by the things that Braden does. What amazing joy it is to be a parent and see your child literally change before your very eyes as he grows up.

We love you Braden!! :)

My Gym.....

So Braden is our little man that loves adventures and new fun things. He has been to Little Gym and he was enrolled at Gymboree last fall...and he really liked that. However, we have found our new favorite place that he ADORES!!! It is called My Gym in South Austin....and while it is quite a drive from our house, it is SO worth it. He goes nuts! :) The stuff they do in the class for toddlers is just so much fun, and it really does far exceed the classes at Gymboree and Little Gym. Chris and I love going too! :) The coaches are awesome and they get the kids so involved during that hour. We cannot wait to go back. :) As a matter of fact when we left the place this last time, Braden literally cried almost all the way home. He kept saying "gym", "gym". Poor thing. :) We will go back soon buddy! :)

Getting ready to get started......

I love trampolines! :)

AHH!!! The exploration castle! :)

Sliding down into the balls ROCKS! :)

Look at me! :)

Here I go! :)

SWINGS!! :)

I got to go down the slide on my sled. :)

Now this is a great swing too! :)

Kid playtime.....more balls! :)

We cannot wait to go back!!! Such a fun time... :)

Surprise Sprinkle Shower....

My sweet small group ladies were so awesome and they surprised me with a sprinkle shower for Brant one evening. It was so thoughtful of them, and they completely caught me off gaurd when everyone showed up at my house with presents, food, drinks, decor, etc. HA!! :) I was obviously not dressed for the occasion but that made it even more fun! :) We really appreciated them doing that, and caring enough about us to shower our little man with some wonderful treats! :)

Thank you so much ladies...it really meant a lot! :)

I love color coordination so I thought it was soooo cute that everything matched so perfectly! :)

Here are some of my favorite things! :) I love monogramming!! :)

And how stinkin cute is this towel? LOVE IT! :)

We have such great friends! :) Cannot wait for everyone to meet Mr. Brant. :)

Timeshare Memories On A Cold Winter's Day.......

It is days like today when my car registers 10 degrees outside, (and they say on the news that it is 4 degrees with the windchill)....that I think about how nice it would be to just be chillin out at our timeshare in Cabo San Lucas. The beach, the waves, the sun, the sound of the ocean, a margarita in one hand and some chips and guac in the other, a nice chaise lounger, a good book, a sparkling swimming pool, and lots of R&R. Ahhhhh...sounds so nice!!

But then I am quickly reminded that I actually live and work in Austin...and that sometimes it does get really cold. :) All I am saying is that if it is going to get THIS cold then we better see some snow and ice to show for it...right? Sheesh! There is nothing on the ground but MUCH more than just a chill in the air. :(

So since I was thinking about the fun we have had with the Cabo timeshare in the past, I thought I would just brighten my dreary and cold day with a few pics of life down in Mexico. :) Arriba Arriba! Viva la Mexico!!! :)

I love our timeshare! :) It makes me very happy! :)
