Clothes anyone?

Jude is in desperate need of winter clothes, so if anyone out there has any winter baby clothes they are looking to get rid of (long sleeved shirts, jeans, pants and jackets), age/size 6-9 months, please contact me via email - branrene@gmail.com

We'd really really appreciate it!

Thanks, friends!

Just a little peek at how much Jude loves baths

There's nothing like a fair

I love fairs. Eating funnel cake, cotton candy, and more delicious fatty foods that will go unnamed is just one reason (the main reason) I go to these things. Thankfully, I married a man who loves fairs, too. So, we decided to go to our small city fair tonight, to eat and eat and do some more eating. I think Jude was equally excited about riding around in his stroller and seeing all the new sights and hearing new sounds. Even he got to eat....but unfortunately for him it was just his sweet potatoes I had packed in his bag for dinner. At least he was eating, too! Don't want him to feel left out. :) He did get a taste of the white power sugar on the funnel cake. Wasn't sure if that was a good idea, but oh well! I think he really enjoyed his first fair.

(yes, Ross shaved his head...love, love love it)



In front of the dart toss game. We were in line to get some food...go figure.


Jude being strolled around. He was really comfy there.

Here are a couple of pics of my boys and their mohawks that were taken the other day--

Like father
Like son

Just a few recent pictures I've taken...


Nekked baby is the best. Sorry, Jude, I've shown the whole world your sweet baby booty. :)



Our doggies, all cuddled up. They love to cuddle together, so sweet!

Here is a little video of him eating pears. I posted this because his face while eating them is so dang funny!

Celebrations

Last weekend we spent the night in Memphis to celebrate my friends Samantha and Jason's wedding. Of course, my sister can't let a time go by where we're all together and dressed up and not get pictures. She's the picture taking queen. So, we got some. Samantha looked beautiful. Forget it boys, she's a married lady now. Enjoy. :)

So sorry

My sister has informed me that I don't post enough pictures anymore and that's for 2 reasons. 1) I have been super busy with my new job and 2) I hate, hate, hate my camera. Some day Ross and I will own a really nice camera and then you'll probably get tired of all the pictures I'll be taking. I promise, more pictures will be coming soon. Don't give up on me! :) Things should calm down after this week.

Life is a blessing

So many awesome things are happening in my life right now and I want to take a minute to tell you just a few of them:

1. I am now the Kid's Ministry Director at my church (called Fellowship Kids). I am SUPER excited about this. This came at the perfect time and I am so grateful.

2. Jude has teeth! (notice I said teeth, not tooth--he has 2!) My baby is growing up. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. I love to see him grow, but want him to stay my little baby forever.

3. We have how adopted our 2nd dog to make our pack complete, Chett (aka Chett Baxter Fergus). He is beautiful 3 year old Boxer boy and fits perfectly in our family. We only had fostered him for a few days when we decided he was the one! We had to have him.

4. We are in a new community group, full of wonderful people. New people for us to get to know and grow closer with. I am really excited.

4. I am growing and changing more and more as a mother, wife and woman of God. I love it. There is nothing better.

Of course there are so many more wonderful things in my life, those are just a few. I am so blessed!
