Happy Birthday sweet boy! It has been an amazing 2 years with you, and we can't wait to watch you as you continue to grow!

Special Christmas present...

Most of you already know, but we are expecting Baby #2 on Christmas Day! We found out the day after we got back from Mexico, and were SO excited! I had kind of expected it, but seeing the test say "pregnant" just made it that much more exciting.

This little one gave me lovely nausea during the ENTIRE 1st trimester, even before I knew I was pregnant! I did not have any of that with Braeden, just a few food aversions. So needless to say I was sure that we were having a girl. As we got closer to finding out, I had started to second guess myself, especially since I felt like I was carrying similar to how I did with Braeden. So we were prepared with 2 names when we had our anatomy scan at 18 weeks. Aubrey Michele if it was a girl and Gage Hampton if it was a boy. Braeden could say both, but was really good at saying Gage. I know that little kids don't know, but it was weird how he would talk about the name Gage much more than Aubrey.

Well...Braeden was right! We are having another little boy, and couldn't be happier. Here are some pics from the ultrasound and a proof pic that it is in fact a little BOY!

We can't wait to meet you Gage Hampton! Mommy, Daddy, and Braeden are so VERY excited about our little gift from God! Stay tuned for more about baby Gage...

Happy Easter!

Whew, what an amazing and busy Easter weekend! It was so great seeing all of our families over the last couple of days. We started out on Saturday with a fish fry at Zach's parents' house. We have been getting together for the last few years with his family, my family, and now the Grady's (Zach's sister's in laws). Mr. Chip makes some of the BEST fried catfish around!

On Sunday, Braeden woke up and was greeted with a basket from the Easter Bunny and another basket from His Mimi and Pops. He was very excited about his football (which has not left his side since that morning) and all of the other cars and planes he got. Must have been a good boy to get all those special treats!

After the morning, we headed to Easter Service at our church. After a beautiful service we headed on to Kingwood for a family BBQ.

Easter Egg Hunt time!

A nice end to the day... Braeden "singing", if you want to call it that. It was SOOOO cute though!

All in all, a wonderful Easter celebration with family! I hope everyone had a blessed Easter as well!
