Cousins!

My cousin, Mark, and I are only 2 months apart. We spent a lot of time together when we were younger and over time there were a lot of "classic" pictures taken of us together. It's only fitting that we now have children that are 6 months apart and now we can capture some more "classic" moments with them!

First UC home game!!




Yesterday was the first Bearcat tailgate/home game! FINALLY football season is here again! We decided to take Brayden to enjoy all of the festivities with us and he did great. He slept through the entire game up until the middle of the 4th quarter...which is when he ate and had another diaper blowout so at that point he wasn't too thrilled with the experience. I'm amazed at the noise that he can sleep through though!
It was so nice to hang out with all of our friends and watch the Bearcats destroy SE Missouri State. Bearcats won the game 70-3! We are disappointed that the Buckeyes and Browns couldn't pull off wins this weekend, but we're definitely enjoying the Bearcats success so far!

September is here?!


The past couple of weeks have just flown by! Brayden has kept us busy and we are learning more and more about him every day. We are doing our best to try to establish some sort of routine, but he has his own plan most of the time. :) We've gone to the park to throw the frisbee with Lucy, gone to Target and he's even had his first real bath (which he loves)! Brady went to the doctor last week (8/26) and weighed 8 lbs, 9 oz which puts him back above his birth weight. Jeff went back to work last week, so my mom spent the week here to help out. She loved getting lots of time with Brady and I know that Brady loved spending time with her too.
Brayden had his first big outing this weekend to our friends' wedding. All I asked from him was 20 minutes of quiet during the ceremony and he did just that...well, almost. He whined once and I got worried since it was almost his feeding time. Sometimes one whine turns into a full out scream if he's hungry, so I was prepared with the bottle which held him over for the rest of the ceremony. He did not make a peep the rest of the night and spent most of his time sleeping in his car seat next to his new friend, Arianna. I was very impressed with how well he did!
On Sunday afternoon, we got a visit from my mom, Aunt Kathy and Aunt Patt (who was in town from California). It was nice to see them and I'm glad that they had a chance to come spend some time with Brady!
I have no idea where this summer went! The weather lately has been beautiful and a reminder that football season is here at last. Saturdays will be filled with Skyline Dip, tailgating, cornhole, great friends and hours of football! Let's hope that the Bearcats and Buckeyes don't let us down!! This year will be quite different than the past, but we know that Brayden will grow up to love Saturdays as much as we do!
