Love bug

Happy Valentine's day from my little LOVE bug!  Brayden had his first party at his new preschool today.  A bit of a sugar rush and lots of fun crafts were to be had, and then he had a sugar crash and took a nap.

Welcome to the world, Tyler Andrew!

Tyler Andrew decided to come into our world 3 weeks early (just like big brother).  Here are his stats:
Sunday, January 20 at 9:22am
7lbs 10oz 20.5"
Big brother Brayden is very excited to have his baby brother here.

Noodles Mac & Cheese

This is what happens when Daddy travels, I cook boring meals that I know B will eat.  So tonight I found a recipe for Noodles Mac & Cheese, one of my personal favorites, and it actually turned out pretty close to the real deal!  To quote Brayden, "yum, yum, yummy!"

Roar! Trick or treat!

B picked out his costume this year,a lion!  I was so happy he wanted to be something cute for at least one more year.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Hanging with Mommy

Daycare is closed for the week which means hanging with Mommy all day.  Luckily we had some beautiful weather so far.  We even good a little raking in which Daddy should appreciate.

Here is also a pic of the belly at roughly 5 months.  Crazy how fast time flies!

Baby #2!

Brayden would like to let you know that he is going to be a big brother in January! 

State Fair time!

It's that time of year....Minnesota State Fair!  In the past 15 years, I don't think I have missed one Fair.  There is just something about the Great Minnesota Get-Together that I cannot miss!  This year we met up with our neighbors and ate as much food as possible, that is the point of the fair right?  Brayden had a great time looking at the cows and horses, and even petting some of them.  He even got to go on his first Fair ride, the cars.  Although it rained the last hour we were there, it didn't put a damper on our fun!

A fish hat, can you see it?

Finally wore him out!

This is what a long weekend of working on the house does to lil B!

Lil man

Brayden is growing up so fast lately!  His latest phrases crack us up: "Big muscles!" and "I'm busy now"  He is also great at making sure we pray before meals.  It's amazing the little things that they pick up on.

Towing...a truck

This is a first...have you ever seen a truck being pulled by a boat?  B is one clever kid!
