Audrey Rose Brown is born!

Audrey Rose Brown was born at 4:59PM on Sunday December 21st, 2008 at St. David's hospital. She weighed 7lbs 15oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. She has dark hair and brown eyes and the most adorable little smiles that melt my heart. We are blessed to have her in our family.

Aidan and Alex on Santa's lap

Aidan and Alex enjoyed sitting with Santa and telling him what they want for Christmas.

Fall Weekend trip to Dallas 08

We had a very busy weekend in Dallas!

It started with trick or treating, we had 2 Batman Super Heroes!

The next morning the kids went out to ride bikes and Aidan decided he was ready to ride without training wheels! We were so proud!!

Then it was off to the Bengtson Family Ranch to celebrate cousin Brady's 3rd birthday with some fishing. It was a first for Aidan and Alex. Alex caught his first fish!

More Pumpkin Fun!

We had fun at Sweetberry Farm today. The boys insisted we get more pumpkins since the 2 that we carved last weekend went bad already!! It was really hot outside, and I'm not just saying that because I am 7 1/2 months pregnant! But, the kids enjoyed the kid maze, pumpkin ice cream, and lots of picture taking!

Picking out Pumpkins

Alex and Aidan were so excited to pick out a pumpkin this year! :-) We still have a trip to Sweetberry Farms planned for the weekend!

Grandma and Grandpa Lerma's house

This is a picture of my Grandma and Grandpa's house. I've grown up going there for years. We've celebrated holidays including Christmas mornings, dying Easter eggs with Grandpa and grandma at Easter, watching the big Macy's Day parade on Thanksgiving morning....need I say more?? I stayed with Grandpa and Grandma for half a summer when I went to summer school and they took such good care. I can't tell you the wonderful memories that come to mind when I look at this house.

2 weeks ago I was at this house because my Grandpa passed away suddenly. He had an aneurism that took him with no warning. We were going to be celebrating his 80th birthday this Thanksgiving, it was just so hard to believe. I guess I am writing this because I miss my grandpa dearly and when I see this house I see him. My grandma is going to be coming home from the nursing home soon and an uncle is moving back to help take care of her in this home again. I can't believe that I will never see him standing outside waving goodbye anymore, but I will always have him in my heart.

Alex's Meet the Teacher Day

Alex was ready to go meet his new teachers Ms. Carla and Ms. Ana on his first day of STM Preschool.

He was finally over his rash that he'd gotten from his allergic reaction to amoxicillin. It looked terrible. I am so happy that he recovered!
