Blog Updates!!

Sorry we are so far behind, our house has been busy. So we caught up tonight with a few entries. Hope you all enjoy!

Susprise Jessica!!

Chip had a small get together for Jessica's birthday at thier house. She was completly susprised, and I think she had a good time! It was so good to see them together for her party.

B-Ball Baby!!

Carter started LCAA basketball this month, and he is having a blast. They are so much fun to watch. We can not belive that our little Carter is old enough to be playing competitive sports.

Brynlee's Surgery Day

Brynlee had to have tubes put in her ear back on the 30th of January. It was a scary day, but for the best. Opa (Bernie) went in to surgery with her, which made that very easy on all of us. She came through like a pro. She even started crawling that very afternoon . We are glad that day is behind us.

New Year's Eve!!

A few of us spent New Year's Eve at the House of Payne. Chip was in town, so we just hung out and played lots of guitar hero. We laughed so much, and had a blast!! Thank you so much House of Payne!!

Dad & Aunt Vicki

Dad and Vicki came to visit us during the holidays (yes I know we are behind), and we had such a good visit. Carter calls them Grandad & Aunt Vicki. We can't wait to see them again.

Christmas --- Finally!

It was our first Christmas as a family of four, and it was great!! The kids got spoiled, and we ate up every moment with them. This truly was the best Christmas yet!!

First Visit W/Santa

We took to the kids to Kristine's store to see Santa. It was Brynlee's first time to see him, and she was not scared at all. Carter was excited to see him too, even though he looks a little unamused in the pictures.

Thanksgiving 2008

We are so behind in blogging (sorry about that), so they will be brief. The family flew to Houston to spend Thanksgiving with Brant's family. We had such a good time watching all the kids play together.

Wishbone time!! Stories with Opa

Just wanted to share a video of our little "B" . Brynlee loves to sit around and grunt like a baby gorilla. She loves to hang out in her diaper and be the center of attention. Don't know where she gets that.

The Smith's visit & losing second tooth

Brant and his family visited from Houston and the cousins had an amazing time together. We visited a scary Halloween house down the street from MiMi's, and the boys thought it was great. Cousin Holton came down on Saturday to play, so we got to get some shots with all the kids. We ended the weekend by stopping in a cotton field for a few more pics. The kids thought that was super! It was such a fun weekend. The topping of the weekend was Carter got to get his second tooth pulled while his cousins watched.

First Food

Brynlee got to start fruits, so we feed her some bananas. It took a few times, but she loves them. She is already growing up to fast!

More PV Pics

Here are the rest of our pics from PV. The animals were right after we got off the Zip lines. Jennifer really did not like the snake, but we were all troopers!

1st Annual Halloween Party

Carter had a costume party for his friends yesterday, and the kids had a blast. The kids did a scavenger hunt, pumpkin toss & a pumpkin relay race. Carter was so excited to have all his friends come over in all their costumes. All in all the 1st annual party was a success, see you all again next year.

Mexico Pics Part 1

We had a wonderful time in Mexico with our friends Jennifer & Conan. The resort was amazing, and the view from our room was the best. We did nothing but lay by the pool or beach and relax. We went out one night to a club, and they had an acrobat group preform from the ceiling. This was one amazing trip!!! We will have more pics from the ZIP line adventure when we get them from Jennifer.
