Daddy, Brandon, and Tyler at California Adventure

In June 2008, we took the kids to disneyland, California Adventure, and Seaworld. We went with our friends, Todd and Krista and their daughters, Katie and Deanna. It was an eventful week. Tyler is almost 5, and Brandon is just 3 months. The weather was supposed to be 80 degrees, but it was 97! Brandon was such a trooper, and Tyler always enjoys Disneyland!

May 2008

Andrew did Bloomsday this year, Brandon is 2 months, and Tyler is 4 1/2. You can see just how much these boys look alike! It was also my 28th birthday, and Mother's Day. Andrew surprised me by taking all of us to the Woodland Park Zoo! We had a great day!

Brandon is already 3 weeks old! He's growing so much, I can't believe it! I just loved these Carter's outfits. He has 3 different colors of the same one! His little feet are getting so big! I just had to put those adorable shoes on him for a picture!

My boys and I on the couch. I am enjoying being on maternity leave with my kiddos. Tyler has been a huge help! He loves being a big brother. Don't they look so much alike!

Almost 4 weeks old. We're getting ready to go for a walk in the new Ergo Baby Carrier from T-Monica. It's so great! Brandon loves it! Everytime we go for a walk, Brandon falls asleep. We got the baby insert that is super soft and supports Brandon while he's in there since he's so small. He's just barely popping his head out of there!

At only 9 days old, Brandon got really sick :( We spent 4 days at Memorial Hospital, going through different tests to rule out what they could. My doctor thought he had menangitis, but thankfully the test was negative. In the end, it was a virus. Brandon was so sick, and it was so hard to see him get poked with needles! I slept with him in the hospital bed the entire time! Thank goodness he's all better!

The birth of Brandon

On March 18, 2008, we had another boy, Brandon James! He was born at 8:20pm, and weighed 7 lbs, 14 oz. He looks just like his big brother, Tyler. Andrew and I think we have twins, only 4 years apart!
