Our little addition...

Hello to you all! It has been quite a while since I have updated Brendan's blog! We are all doing well and hope that all of you are too. Brendan is growing like crazy! His most recent weight is 18 lb. 8 oz. and his height is 27 in. Brendan is at such a fun age now. His most recent accomplishment is sitting up all by himself and he has 2 teeth and is drooling a ton so more will be coming soon!! He is "talking" alot, laughing, and makes funny faces! He also had a taste of his very first sucker so that was quite a funny and very sticky event! Rob is busy with the fire station and is about to get very busy with his lawn business. He just returned to work after being off for a week so that was very nice for the three of us (5 of us including Chex and Scarlet!) to be able to spend alot of time together! I am still a stay at home Mom and that is going great! Brendan is such a wonderful baby and has a great little personality! Rob and I are very blessed!

Our Little Butterball!

Of course I am biased, but could he get any cuter?!?!?!?!?!

Brendan and Mommy


This is Brendan with me on my birthday!!! We matched with our brown outfits!

Wrestler in training

Rob already has Brendan on his wrestling mat. Brendan rolls around, stares at his Daddy, and drools on the mat. Yes, Rob has already bought him a wrestling mat!!!! He is a State Champ in training!

Brendan's first plane ride!!!


This is Brendan on the plane, on his way to Omaha, Ne. He did great on the plane. Flying sure is so much easier than driving with a baby!!!

Sleepy Husker fan!

We took Brendan to his first Husker game on Nov. 1st. He loved the bright lights and all of the sounds. Daddy was so proud to take Brendan to the game!! Too bad the Huskers lost that game.


Cutest Lil Pumpkin


Brendan was a pumpkin for his first Halloween!!! He didn't do any trick or treating this year but of course he had to dress up!!!

Brendan is doing great! He is eating well, and growing more every day! Rob and I are doing well also. We never realized how much he would really change our lives! He is an amazing baby and we are so blessed!

Brendan is becoming more alert every day! It is so exciting to watch him grow and change every day!

This is when we first got home from the hospital. Chex and Scarlet are meeting their new brother! Surprisingly, the beagles are excellent with Brendan.


Our newest addition!!

Our beautiful new baby!!


Such a proud Daddy!!

This is right after Brendan was born. We are relieved and excited parents! Rob was an excellent coach! I couldn't have done it without him!!

Rob and me with our 1st two children, when we brought Scarlet home. We have a feeling that they will be quite jealous but will end up being great beagle siblings to Brendan!!

Brendan's nurserey! Of course it has a firetruck theme. It is almost finished, we just need to put the glider/ottoman in there and I am getting his valance monogrammed. I will post a picture as soon as everything is finished.

Thanks to my sister, Katie, my friend, Nicole, and my Mom for making my shower so nice!!

I had such a wonderful time at my shower! Brendan got so many wonderful things! I feel so blessed to have such a great group of friends and family!

June 28, 2008. Such an adorable (and delicious) cake for my shower!!!

May 2008. Brendan sure is growing!

Easter 2008. Is that an Easter egg in my belly??
