Off to Grandpa and Grandma's House!

The long awaited vacation finally came. If only we didn't have to take three planes to get there, but Brex did better that expected. On the flights to Mississippi he slept during the layovers and was awake on the planes. Until the plane started landing, when he would fall asleep again and then stay asleep until we got on the next plane.

We were all really excited when we finally made it to Grandma and Grandpa's. Brex didn't like the 3 hour car ride we still had to take to get to Jackson, but he was excited to finally see his Grandma and Grandpa!!
We had so much fun in Mississippi with Grandpa and Grandma! We mostly relaxed at home and played with little Brex. We went swimming, went on walks, and played the piano.




We also went out to try some yummy mississippi food, brady and tom when golfing, and we did some shopping. It was so a fun relaxing trip, it always is with Tom and Annette. We love and miss you two!

Shreveport Louisianna

We had a fun night in Shreveport where we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse (Brex didn't have so much fun there) and then went to the boardwalk along the river. First Brexon threw his crayons and then made Grandma hold him to calm him down.
Here is Brady with some alligators in the background.
It was such a fun night. We topped it off with some shopping at baby outlet stores and sitting in the hot tub with Brex.

Last Day in Sippi

We drove to Shreveport the night before we left on the airplane and stayed at a hotel. It was so nice and made the airplane day so much better.
Here is Brexon having fun with grandma before the inevitable goodbye.
Brex is happy here because he didn't realize that he won't be seeing them again for almost 8 more months. He cries all the time now just thinking about how much he misses his Grandma and Grandpa!

We had so much fun and can't wait to go back! We sure love you Grandma and Grandpa!!

Happy Birthday Brady and Happy Easter!

Brady turned 26 a few weeks ago. We had a blast that week celebrating. First we went to the Melting Pot with some of his family; Shane and Amy, and Jeremy and Debbie. It was so much fun, I'm sad we didn't take any pictures. This pic is from Tucanos where we went on Brady's actual birthday.
We took Brexon and went with Jeff and Mikaela. Since Mikaela's birthday is in May too, they each got a free meal. We tried last year to go together, but finally got there this year and it was great!!!

Brexon just started sitting in his play gym for extended periods of time and it is so nice. We were able to get packed the night of brady's birthday since we had to leave at 5 am the next morning for Mississippi.
He usually loves it, and was particularly happy this time.
Brexon's first Easter was the funnest Easter yet. We went to the cabin with a bunch of my family, and we all had so much fun. Here is Brex with his easter basket.He really just liked the wrapping, so we are saving the rest for next year!
Brex was determined to get the most easter eggsThe egg hunts wore him out and he fell asleep right in the middle of doing crafts. Silly boy couldn't take all the excitement.
