Merry Christmas

Brandon and I spent Christmas Eve a part this year. He was on call at the vet clinic and had to stay close to College Station just in case he got a call. I headed to Brenham solo for Christmas Eve at my Grandma's house. On Christmas Day Brandon was supposed to be on call again, but he got a nice surprise and they told him that he could venture away from College Station for the day. I had already made plans to go to Houston to my Aunt and Uncle's house, so Brandon being the great husband that he is came with me. He didn't want his seven and a half month pregnant wife traveling alone on Christmas Day. It was great getting to spend some time with my family, especially my five month old cousin Presley.

Aggie Basketball

Tonight Brandon and I made it out to the Texas A&M basketball game against Louisiana Monroe. It was fun to be back at the school we think is so grand. We definitely have a future Aggie on our hands. Our little man would kick and move like crazy when the Aggie band would play "The Aggie War Hymn." I guess he's:

Our Baby

Our baby boy is making his presence known in many ways. My tummy is getting bigger and BIGGER with each new day. The baby has started to become more and more active with his movements. Before, I was the only one that could feel the movements, but this week Brandon has felt his kicks for the first time. We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and we are measuring right on schedule for a February 24 delivery. Another big thing on the list is registering at the hospital and birthing classes. Also, we got word that the crib, dresser, and mirror that we ordered are in! Brandon and his Dad are going to Houston next week to pick it up. The custom bedding that we ordered should arrive on Tuesday and I can't wait to get this little guy's room ready!

Ally and Jeremy

Last night Brandon and I helped host a wedding shower for Brandon's cousin, Ally. Ally met Jeremy at Camp Luther Hill, where they both worked. They are getting married on New Year's Eve, and we couldn't be more excited. In honor of their meeting place, The Green Door was transformed into Camp Stoner. Here is some pictures from the night:

We wish you two nothing but the BEST in this new chapter in your lives!

Deer Season!

Deer season is underway and our little "dear" is already ready for his first season (thanks to Daddy). 

Happy Hunting Everyone!

BBQ

Tuesday, Brandon was finally home for dinner and we decided to break out the charcoal and BBQ pit to make hamburgers. We haven't done this in FOREVER (since we moved to St. Kitts in April of 2009)! It was so nice to just relax and enjoy the awesome weather! As you can see even Sawyer got in on the action!

Sawyer's favorite place in the backyard...the porch swing!
