YEAH!! WE MADE IT!!!!!

Our family of 3 just returned from our first road trip to New York to visit with the Soong Family. Eric and I both had our doubts with how Brantley would do in the car for such a long time and how she would do sleeping in a room with the two of us. Well......she did GREAT!!!!! Of course we broke the trip up into two days on the way up there and then took a mini family vacation in VA on the way home so that made it much more enjoyable for everyone. Eric and I were so proud of her and praised her constantly for the great job that she was doing. We did discover that our little one is apparently allergic to New York. The whole time that we were there she would have hives that would come and go on different spots on her body. They didn't bother her and she didn't even know that they were there. They did, however, bother her mommy and daddy. As soon as we left New York there were no more hives. Despite the reoccuring hives, we had a great time visiting with family. Below are some pictures from our sweet vacation.

Here we are celebrating Eric's 30th bithday with family.

We visited a local beach in New York one afternoon.

Brantley playing in the sand for the first time. (Yes, she put some in her mouth and quickly discovered it's nasty taste.)

Me with the Love of my life!

Me and Brantley with Great Grandma, Eric's cousins and there sweet newborn babies.

Our Family of 3! (We miss you Sadie!)

I could eat her up with a spoon!

While we were traveling our little munchkin turned 10 months old. Here are some pictures from her 10 month "photo shoot".

Just for fun!

Eric pulled out the camera this afternoon and took some pictures of Brantley playing around the house. Just thought we would share some updated photos of our little princess! Enjoy!

My Awesome Wife

So I am turning 30 this year. If you haven't heard it's a pretty big deal. Three decades old. I don't feel it one bit. I still feel like I just graduated from college, just with a dog, a kid and an amazing wife! So apparently my wife has been sneaking around behind my back planning something pretty amazing. Something I have been wanting to do for a long time. So let me set it up for you guys. Megan said that the Trevett's wanted to go to dinner with us on Friday, May 7th. I thought sweet, I love hanging out with them. They are awesome. So just another dinner with friends right. Wrong! We sit down at dinner and they look at each other and each pull out a piece of paper that has a poem on it:

Thirty years old
In two thousand ten!
You’re husbands and fathers
You’re grown-up Men!

Your beautiful wives,
Have planned for us all
To have an adventure
Of which we will have a ball!

Don’t worry about details,
We’ve crossed all the T’s,
We’ve worked out the kinks,
And shined up your skis.

We’re going to Colorado,
To spend time together
We know you’ll enjoy it,
No matter the weather.

Don’t worry about kids,
We’ve taken care of that,
Grandmas’ and Grandpas’
Is where they’ll be at.

It’ll be January, next year,
So there’s no need to hasten,
This is just what is needed
For Eric and Nathan.

They have planned a ski trip to go to Breckenridge in January for 6 days and 5 nights at absolutely awesome place where we can ski to the mountain and ski right back to our lodging. So I am thinking to myself that I have the best wife ever. What do you think? You better agree or else! :-) So here is to my wonderful, beautiful and amazing wife Megan. I LOVE YOU!

Mother's Day 2010

This Mother's Day our little family of four (me, Eric, Brantley, and Sadie) traveled to spend the weekend with my mom. It was a great weekend:) I love spending time with my mom and this Mother's Day was extra special being able to be with her and my little bundle of joy. Here are some pictures of the day.

I love you Momma! I hope that I am at least half of the wonderful mom to Brantley as you are to me!

Remember when.....

Remember when it used to be so easy to get B's weekly/monthly photo? When all I had to do is lay the bear down beside her and they both stayed where I put them? When it was just one quick click and we were done? 

Well, gone are those days. Now we no longer have one quick click of the camera. We now have a monthly photo SESSION. Below are the pictures from B's 9 month photo session. Enjoy:)
