happy at home...

Here we are...the 3 of us...just hanging out together!

Notice anything different on Brecken? Yes, Brady thought it would be funny to put "Jessie's" hat on Brecken. Jessie is a character from Toy Story...and Brady just laughed and laughed. Mommy was laughing at Brecken's belly hanging out of his shirt :)

Then, Brady said, "my turn...take my picture, Mommy."

Some Brecken/me time...sweet kisses for my baby brother! I love being his Mommy...I mean, big sister!! :) And, Brecken found out what his tongue could do, so for a few days, he always had it sticking out...it was so funny!

Me & Brecken

Brecken was having some "tummy" time while Daddy & Mommy were talking. When they looked back at him, he had fallen asleep on his boppy...out cold!

Here we are, again...all 3 of us...on a Saturday morning...still in our jammies!! We love Saturday mornings!

3 months old

Look who's a happy & healthy 3 month old...Brecken Thomas!

Such a sweet boy...

...our gift from God...

...who loves putting his hands in his mouth right now...

...and smiling all the time.

We love you, Brecken!!

the many sweet faces of brecken...

Oh, what a sweet baby brother God has blessed us with. Brecken keeps us smiling...and we sure keep him smiling. Here are a few of the many facial expressions he is making at us these days.

Love the "praying hands"

Smiles, big smiles, happy smiles, wide-eyed smiles...no matter how they are shown, Brecken is usually smiling. Such a happy baby.

Easter baskets

Every year, Daddy & Mommy fill up our Easter baskets with all sorts of goodies. Then, they hide them somewhere in the house, and we have to find them. Here are our Easter baskets...before they were hidden!!

Brady & me...ready to find our baskets. Brecken was already sitting with his basket waiting on us to find ours!

Brady finally found his basket behind the door in Daddy's office...he was so excited to dig in!

I loved finding my basket behind the door to Daddy & Mommy's bedroom. I screamed when Ifound it...so excited to dig in!

Brady loved his football, race car for the swimming pool, fruit snacks, jammies, colored bubbles, DVD...

...& Elmo notebook.

So fun!

I loved my princess diving toys, stickers, fruit snacks, DVD, colored bubbles, jammies, & crayons/notepad.

So fun going thru our baskets!

And Brecken...well, he wasn't excited at first...

...but we enjoyed all our goodies...eating a pack of fruit snacks first!

After his feeding, Brecken was all smiles again...excited to have his very first Easter basket!!

Happy Boy!!
