CEREAL - YUCK.

A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

I'd rather skip this and move on to peas please.

He has been very cuddly lately. I know it won't last forever so I had to have Ryan take a picture of us in the chair together.

He had to have shots today. So Ryan is giving him some extra TLC. As you can see he loves snuggling with one of us all of the time.

6 MONTHS OLD!

It's hard to believe our little man is 6 months old on Friday. Brayden is changing so much on a daily basis. He is such a fun age. He smiles, laughs, and blows bubbles all of the time. We constantly are cracking up at the little things he does. He is getting close to being able to sit up. He wants to grab anything and everything close to him and put it in his mouth. No teeth yet but we are still waiting! Here are some recent photos:

Uncle David came for a visit. He is taking bottles like a champ now!

Me and my friend Grady. He didn't seem too interested in playing with me. He was tired. I know we will be playing before too long. :) I love my new teething toy Aunt Kamilia gave me.

I love this exercauser. I can play in it now all by myself.

Just waking up from a nap.

Chilling watching TV with Mommy.

Rolling around on the bed.

The wind swept hair look.

I love daddy's phone almost as much as he does. :)

Hanging with daddy.

Springtime Planting!

We had some plants and flowers planted today in our front yard. Ryan left for Canada this morning for a work trip and wanted me to send him pics of the finished result. He can only get pictures via the blog on his phone. So here ya go honey! It looks so good! It's amazing how some new landscaping freshens up our yard. Have a good trip. We miss you already :)

Girls Weekend to Colorado

Last weekend I went to Colorado for a girls weekend away. My friend Meredith's in-laws have a home outside of Winter Park and graciously let us stay there for the weekend. This has become an annual trip - last year was the first year - but I was unable to go last year because we were living in Ohio and I was pregnant. I was so glad I could go this year! About 8 of us went on the trip - all of these girls are lifetime friends. It was so nice to be able to catch up, hear about everyone's kiddos, laugh and reminisce about old memories and make new memories at the same time. Betsy made a fun video to share of photos that included high school, college, post-college, weddings and all of our kids. It truly showed how we have been through every life experience together. I feel so lucky to have such wonderful friends. I look forward to next year. Here are some photos from the weekend.....

Beautiful views of the mountains.

Another gorgeous view

We cooked yummy meals every night. It was nice and relaxing!
