Big Boy Bed

zzzz....Brayden and his new big boy bed! He loves it and goes to bed better then he ever did in the crib, so worth the change....zzzz

Finally... some GIRLS

Well, after five recent boys (Andrew, James, Brayden, Parker, & Joseph) and after 24 years (that was the last girl to be born) on my moms side...we have two adorable baby girls born in August!

Introducing Ashlyn Elizabeth born on August 10th to Amy and Jeff and proud big brother Andrew!

and on August 30th, Ryan received the best birthday gift with the arrival of Emma Jacqueline! My neice and I share the same middle name as we both were named after my grandmother Jacqueline McNamara, formerly "Shannon". And Brayden's middle name is Jack after my grandfather Jack McNamara so its really sweet. We only wish Vegas was not so far away so we could love her in person but we will bottle it up in the meantime, and look forward to when we can meet her.

Best Barnyard Buds

Brayden has a best buddy from daycare - Jake or as Brayden sometimes calls him "Jakey". They are really cute together especially since Jake is about 4 months younger yet towers over Brayden. His parents are super nice and so we have been able to get together a few times for playdates. One of the really great things about daycare is the opportunity for us to get to meet some new friends in the area!

Summer Memories

A little reading on the potty.

One of the cutest lil boys in the world!

Sporting some new shades!

Binky Boy to the rescue! (Brayden's one bad habit - the BINK!)

Brayden got a haircut that was a little too short for my liking so out of spite I decided to spike it for a day in the park. It gave him an angel/devil look.

Charming up one of the neighbors on a random friday night.
