Just Being Me

Playing together (or beside each other)

Almost ready to walk without this thing, but it sure is fun to push!!

Happy 1st Birthday Brenden William!!

February 15th, 2012

 

At one year, he can say: no, Jack, duck/quack, hi (which he says any time you hold a phone up to him:), mama, dada, car, all done, tickle, stop, and (I think) dog. 11 words! Not all of them are clear, but Mama understands them all :) He is a sweet, determined little boy who loves playing with his sister, anything with wheels, sleeping, and eating.

His first taste of chocolate - I think he likes it!!

Valentine's Day

Our sweet Daddy ordered a special cake for us for Valentine's Day

 We felt very loved even though he was miles away. What a sweet, sweet guy. 

This little girl is sure "smitten" with him!

I'm So Behind!

Man, life has been crazy busy around here and this blog has been sorely neglected. With Hunter's schedule changing daily, his coming and going, and our summer schedule of activities and outside time, I've not been giving the energy to keeping up with this thing.
I hope to continue to make my way through postings to catch up, but it may take a while. So bear with me as I attempt to zoom through the last 6 months of our lives in photos and videos!

Through the Tunnel

One dark, dreary late January afternoon, I tried to elevate the mood and boredom by getting out the blue tunnel. It proved to be a good idea and even Brother was brave enough to have fun in it!
