Braylen's One Month Celebration

November 30th- my birthday and Braylen's ONE MONTH Birthday! I can't believe my sweet baby is already a month old! The last few weeks have been amazing and I can't wait for many many more birthday celebrations!

Braylen and I celebrated our birthday weekend in style.  Mom, Dad, Tyler and Stacy came to town to celebrate with us. Friday night was dinner with the fam (Mexican food, of course)! Saturday was Braylen's baby shower with some of our favorite people. We had a blast! Thank you to our wonderful friends who showered our baby boy with so much love! We love you all and can't wait for Braylen to grow up with you in his life! Sunday morning was Braylen's baby dedication at church. We are so blessed to be able to have his dedication at the same place that Quentin and I were married. We love Country Club Christian Church and can't wait for Braylen to grow up being a part of that family!

Oh, and in case we didn't have enough plans that weekend we decided to do a few family photo's Sunday afternoon too! Whew, I am exhausted!

Here are a few pictures of our weekend full of celebration...

Pickin' Up The Slack.

I have a confession. I have been a slacker, a blog slacker, that is. I had every intention of keeping up with my blog, but here I sit staring at a blog page that has not been touched since January (which was actually a post about Thanksgiving). Hmm...I guess I am a little behind. So, be prepared. Be VERY prepared. In the next week I am going to attempt to update the blog to catch up to present day. I'm not gonna lie, this probably won't happen, but maybe, just maybe if I hit "publish" on this little entry I will feel a little more obligated to actually follow through?!? Fingers crossed I can get this baby updated because I'm sure you are all just dying to see how our handsome little man is growing up! :)

Braylen's First Turkey Day

 

Braylen's First Thanksgiving was a success! We spent the evening before Thanksgiving with Nana Jennings in Kansas City eating a feast of seafood. The next day we went to Nana Burkett's for lunch. Braylen got to meet all of his Norwich family for the first time- including his new cousin Mila who is a week younger than him! It was a busy day and the boy was definitely worn out! Here is our Thanksgiving in pictures...
