To see more pictures...

...go check out the "Our Family Photos" Link. I upload all our pictures on a shutterfly site, and then pick the best for the blog. But just in case you haven't gotten enough of my adorable little boy, I wanted to make sure you knew where you could go to get your fill. Ha.

The eyes of Texas are upon you...





The Longhorns came into town this weekend to play CU, and of course we were there to support the team (thanks Bryan). We had a great day! We spent some time in the foothills so we could capture the fall leaves, and then off to the game. Brooks watched the game from the comforts of the Baby Bjorn. He watched a little and then slept, and then woke up to eat and watch a little more. It's times like these that I really appreciate what a good baby Brooks is. He is so mellow and easy-going. He just hung out and had a great time. I can't count the number of people that pointed and commented on what an adorable baby we were carrying around. He did look pretty stinkin' cute!

Pumpkin Patch





While in Arlington, my mom and I took Brooks to a pumpkin patch. We thought about all the adorable pictures we could get of Brooks in the pumpkins. Well - Brooks had other plans. The poor little guy was so tired (and in baby world that translates into grumpy). We got a few shots before he seriously broke down. As soon as my mom finally picked him up - he fell asleep before we even got to the car. What a rough life?

Pictures from Texas




We were so lucky to get to see family while in Texas. We stayed with my mom and step-dad (Grandma and Pops). My dad and step-mom stopped by as well (Grandpa and Ladybug). Chad's family was also in the area so Aunt Jill and Brodie, Aunt Joy, and Birdie and Scoops all got to come hang out with us. Gosh - do you think Brooks will be spoiled at all with all those grandparents?!

High School Reunion




Alright, so it wasn't our "official" high school reunion, but some of the old gang got back together to hang out while I was visiting Texas. Jennifer and I have babies just a month apart, and it was really fun to see them together. Even though Mollie is a month younger than Brooks, she is actually a tad bit bigger. She was such a flirt when she and Brooks first met, but Brooks was more interested in Jen's watch. Brooks and I also took a little swim in the hot tub. He was so relaxed that I actually had a hard time keeping him awake. Look at how adorable he is with his swimsuit and hat! SO CUTE!

Brooks is 3 months!

I know these are almost three of the same picture - but I couldn't choose the cutest one, so you'll have to deal with all three. Brooks is 3 months old today and I can hardly believe it! Time really does fly by, and they really do grow up so fast! I don't know exactly how much he weighs, we'll see tomorrow, but I'm guessing around 11lbs. He is getting so big!

Rock Climbing

Our good friends (and future in-laws), Kristen and Nate, took us rock climbing the other day. They are serious rock climbers with their own gear and stuff, and they let us tag along and use all of their stuff. It was my first time climbing somewhere other than REI. It was a blast. Next time I'll make it all the way to the top! Tenley and Brooks had fun too, of course. They were both such troopers!
This is our climbing spot...Colorado is so beautiful!

Me, Kristen, and Tenley

That's Chad climbing.

That's me climbing!

Brooks thought he would try climbing, too!

Feeding Time!

It was a great day!
