Update on us!

We have been busy for the last month and its starting to slow down... or maybe start up again! lol
*** Check out www.dropshots.com/bbsmom for pics of everything we've been doing****
We took a trip to Atlanta mid- January to say Goodbye to my beloved Grandfather. It was so wonderful to see all the family and rejoice in the wonderful life my grandfather lived. We truly miss him! Brendan also got to see snow for the 1st time so he loved that.

I then took a quick trip to TX to see James for the weekend. While there we attended our 1st Military Ball- we had a great time. It was such a nice weekend for us to be able to spend together pretty much alone!! We needed it after the crazy times through the holidays.

Then last weekend my mom, the kids and I went to Disney! We had such a great time. Brooklyn did pretty good- she doesn't like the characters at all but enjoyed playing and going on some rides!

Brendan started basketball so he is enjoying that every Sunday and now has started baseball so it will keep us busy every weekend! He also just received his Red Belt in Tae Kwon Do tonight! He is doing great in school and excels in all sports he does!

Brooklyn is doing great- she is getting so big. She is 14 mos now and walking/running everywhere. She is such a sweetheart but then can be so moody at the same time! She is learning more and more everyday and it amazes me to watch her figure things out.

James is in TX right now and we're currently trying to figure out what the future holds for all of us. He is due to get out of the Army this summer but we're still weighing options on what he may do- so stay tuned for more updates on that :o) He is actually coming home in a few days to spend about 10 days with us so we are very excited about that!

So that's it about us for now... oh about me- I just stay busy keeping up with the kids, work is crazy busy but not much new!

Hope everyone is well- let us know how you're doing too- we love to hear from everybody!
