Happy New Year!! LATE

I know it has been a long time for me to post but we have been really busy. Holidays are over and then we had Steve's birthday and then ice storms and all sorts of stuff. We are all back into the swing of things working and just enjoying life. So I am home today with Braden and I looked at the date and in one month my baby will be 4!!! I can not believe it. It seems like just yesterday I was planning his 1st birthday and now I am on 4. Steve and I are blessed everyday that we have him.

We have had some great times this month already. The other day we took Braden to this park where we live and had the best time just walking around the pond and feeding the ducks. I think that the ducks may have been warned about Braden because they stared close enough just get food and not dared to cross that line. It was a great time. We took him to eat at the Purple Cow in Plano a fun little retro soda shop place. Steve and Braden are so funny together the things that they come up with. I find myself taking more pictures of Steve with Braden then me with Braden. I think that is because Braden is our only child and he is a boy and I want him to have that father son relationship and I want them both to look back and say WOW look at the fun we had. I really want to be the person watching and making that memory not only for them but for me. OK OK OK OK I know I am getting all Hallmark on you people so I will stop. Here are some of the better pictures that I want to share you with you all. They are the 2 most important people in my life and I love them both oh so much.

Thanks for checking in on us. One more thing Good Luck Marcos we wish you all the best on Thursday!!!!
