We are Alive!!

Well... it has been a LONG time since my last post.... The reason? Pure laziness. Do you know how much time it takes to plug in my camera to the computer?? Not much.... But as the pictures have been building up it made it that much harder to sit down and do it....

So.... here is a little view on what's been happening with us since August....

My best friend Laura got married to Tono. This was extra exciting because it was Brady & Austin's FIRST time meeting Tono.... and, did I mention they are Brady's Godparents? They had a beautiful wedding in Estes Park, Colorado. It was beautiful there.... I now know why everyone love Colorado so much. Also, this trip was exciting because I got to see 2 of my other college roommates.... Kelly & Molly.





Also..... I got to stop by Denver & see my good friend Mackenzie (Ok), who I haven't seen since MY wedding..... and her little boy, Emory!



During this trip Brady also got 2 teeth!! It was quite exciting!! (except for Austin... who flew with Brady all by himself to Colorado.... with 3 layovers! Oops.... somebody (me) didn't plan that too well....)



I convinced my dad to get a boat. I actually thought this was a far-fetched idea... but it turned out just mentioning the idea & what great memories it would create for his grandkids worked great! So... this is what we've been doing on the weekends.........






Nebraska football season started.... and Austin has friends from Law School FROM Nebraska!! Can you believe it? From Scottsbluff... but we'll forgive him for that! This is Chris & his wife, Leslie.


Austin's sister, Amy, came to visit & meet Brady! Amy lives in England... so it was quite nice spending time with her! Brady told he all about how he can't wait to meet Alexis too.... who is Amy's girl. Alexis made Brady his first blankey... and Brady loves it!



We made a quick weekend trip back to Nebraska in September for the Market to Market Relay Marathon... we went from the Old Market in Omaha to the Haymarket in Lincoln.... all in all I think it was about 80-90 miles.... we got cut off after 12 hours though... I guess we were too slow. It really made me realize how out of shape I am!! Who knew having a baby & having your body be on maternity leave for over a year would put you so out of shape!! But.... during this trip Brady got to hang with his big cousin, Liam. Liam was very generous & shared his toys with Brady.

And of course, got some love from Nana.
After just a couple weeks back in Texas... we get a surprise phone call from my brother, Willy, that he is going to be in town for work.... AND.... he is bringing LIAM! So we got another few days playing with one of my top 3 boys!! Brady was thankful that we got to return the favor & share his toys with Liam....


But isn't quite used to someone stealing toys right out of his hands....
Last weekend, in preparation for Halloween, we of course went to the pumpkin patch. Brady was not as excited about this as Mom, Aunt Bridget, and Grandma Mac though... I think he would have rather finished his nap in the carseat while we all picked out pumpkins.




And of course... Halloween. And since Brady is a KING..... Why not be King of the Jungle??

And since I am his food source.... why not be a DAIRY COW??
We only went trick-or-treating to one house.... Brady's identical cousin's, Jack. He was a pirate.



Lots of things going on in the future too! I will try to be more diligent about updating my blog more! Thanks for sticking with us!
