Brandon's 1st Trip to the Snow!

2009-01-04T17:15:00.001-08:00

I decided to take Brandon up to my parents house
in Big Bear so he can play in the snow for the first
time. Eric was still sick so he stayed home to rest.
Brandon had a great time! My dad pulled him on
the sled and my mom would pick him up when he'd
fall and not know how to get back up.

Having so much fun being pulled on the sled.

Touching the snow for the first time. It took
him a while to want to throw snowballs but
eventually that was all he wanted to do!

New York Jets game in San Francisco

2008-12-09T13:12:00.001-08:00

My family just got back from our trip to San Francisco.
Every year we find a new place to watch a Jets game.
There are usually 50-60 Jets fans that go. Of course
we get there hours before game time to tailgate!

Eric and I right before kick off.

Me, my cousin Randy and my sister-in-law Misty.

Me and my brother Jeff

All of us tailgating! We had a great time! Brandon
stayed with Eric's parents for the weekend and
was excited to see us when we got home!

Brandon's New Toy Box

2008-11-26T16:28:00.000-08:00

My dad brought over Brandon's new toy box today.
It's homemade and one of a kind! I couldn't
even begin to add up how many hours it took to make.

My dad used over 5 different kinds of wood to
create all the detail.

Of course he will be MVP of one team some day!

Look at all this room for all his new toys!!
Thanks Dad!!

Brandon's 2nd Birthday Party

2008-11-26T14:17:00.001-08:00

We had Brandon's 2nd birthday party at Partyopolis
on November 22nd. We want to thank all our friends
and family who came to celebrate with us! Brandon
had a great time! This picture is when we were waiting
to get into the play area. Brandon kept trying to open
the door. He was so impatient!

Brandon loves going down the slides and has
NO FEAR! Here he went down next to his
cousin Jacob.

They tried having everyone together before
lunch to take a group photo. Brandon was the
only one who wasn't interested.

Brandon is so much like Eric. Eric doesn't like
cake and neither does Brandon. Here he is spitting
it out. Does he realize how much work went into
making this eggless cake!....and it tasted really good!

Halloween

2008-11-01T15:29:00.000-07:00

Brandon really enjoyed Trick or Treating - more
than I thought he would! All the kids on the street
went around the neighborhood together. Brandon
went up to most of the houses for candy.

I didn't buy him a sword for his pirate costume.
Probably because I knew I'd be picking up off
the ground more than he would be holding it.
He got to pretend with this light stick though!

Getting candy with Faith and Ava. Eric took
Brandon around the rest of the streets since
I wasn't feeling well but I had to see him out
for a little bit. Everyone had a great night!!

Bath Time

2008-10-26T16:26:00.001-07:00

I couldn't resist! Brandon's baths are usually
really quick but he was having so much fun.
I had to grab the camera and Eric was filming.
Here are a couple of my favorites.

Disney's Trick or Treat

2008-10-24T13:10:00.000-07:00

We took Brandon to Disney's Trick or Treat
Party last night. He seemed a little hesitant at
first but then had a great time. He loved
following this "BOO" around on the ground.
He could have stayed in this spot all night!!
I dressed him up as a pirate but of course he
wanted nothing to do with the hat.

Playtime at Pump It Up!

2008-10-17T12:44:00.000-07:00

Brandon would spend every day here if he could!
He loves bounce places. I love them too because
they wear him out!!

A Quick trip to Irvine Park and Railroad

Brandon is getting so big and is always busy busy busy! Here are a few pictures of a pumpkin patch we went to and playing with the poor dog who always gets tormented!!

Jason and Liza's Wedding

2008-10-12T12:16:00.000-07:00

We had a great time at Jason and Liza's wedding last night. We are SO not use to staying up late though!! I think we made it until 11pm and had to call it a night! The ceremony was beautiful and it was great to spend the evening with so many friends.
