Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone has a safe and happy 31st.

 

Love, The Bellon’s.

Three.

I can’t believe it’s been three years. I know I always say that, but it’s true. Three years has flown by, yet I can’t imagine a world without our little man.

He lights up our life. He constantly makes us laugh. He’s super sweet and caring, and has the most empathetic heart I’ve ever met.

Words can’t even express how much he means to us. He has changed us so much in the last three years. He has brought us together, grown our family, and taught us lessons we never knew we needed to learn. I thank God everyday for trusting me with his little life.

We’ve had a wonderful weekend celebrating our little love and his three sweet years on this earth. A party recap will come soon!

Happy Birthday, my sweet Brayden man. I hope it was everything you dreamed of and more.

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Top Ten Things I Am Currently Loving (in no particular order):


1. This is my first post to type with my iPad! I've had the iPad for a while, just haven't blogged on it. We'll see what it looks like after I hit "publish."

2. It feels dad gum AMAZING outside. Fall has finally arrived in SWLA. Can I get an amen?!

3. I found a few pairs of pants that fit our skinny boy with bird legs.

4. I got a $3 shirt at Old Navy. Woo!

5. Fall scented candles. Enough said.

6. My BFF is going to have her sweet little bundle of love soon!

7. Jason got the new iPhone. Siri is funny. And a bit of a smart aleck.

8. Brayden has been wearing underwear all day at school. Not so much at home, but we're working on it. He'll get there one day.

9. We just booked a CRUISE for February. Excited doesn't even begin to explain it!

10. We'll be celebrating three wonderful years of a little boy's life this weekend. I can't believe he's three. Just can't believe it.


What are YOU loving this Wednesday?

Friday Night Lights

On Friday, we headed to Westlake to see Zach (my cousin) and the South Beauregard Knights play the Westlake Rams. I haven’t been to many high school games since I graduated (5.5 years ago!), and I really miss it.

Zach is a sophomore this year and he is one of the kickers. He’s in the middle: Number 14. He kicked once during the game and of course I missed it (a freak rain shower had just gone through – with zero percent forcasted, mind you - and my camera was tucked away nice and dry). If you get the American Press, his picture was on the cover! :)

Brayden had a really good time watching. For five minutes. He also enjoys schmoozing his grandparents, climbing the bleachers, and sneaking M&Ms.

He especially loved the band. He talked all evening about the drums and the “moosic” from the band. We may have a future band nerd on our hands! Which is ok by me. :) Band members don’t get tackled.

Brayden and Mackenly put on quite the half-time performance to anyone who would watch. I got most of it on video. It’s YouTube gold. Hopefully I can figure out how to post it soon. Videos are Jason’s expertise. ;)

South Beau wound up losing, but we still enjoyed cheering them on. We’re looking forward to seeing more of Zach kicking in the future!

Our life in iPhone Pictures

I always said I would never be that person who only takes pictures of their family on their phone. I just love the higher quality pictures that a “real” camera can produce.

Well, I’ve become “that” person.

It’s not our old friend the Rebel, but iPhone 4 can take some good pictures. And it’s small, always with me, and I can take pictures easily and effortlessly. I still use the Rebel when I can, but I (finally) have to admit that the iPhone 4 can be a good little brother. This post is a picture dump…it’s our life in iPhone pictures from the last few months or so.

Pushing the buggy at Target. We can’t even go in this store without Brayden wanting to do this the. entire. time. So needless to say, Brayden isn’t invited on many Target outings.

 

Riding in the buggy with Macky. These two are a hoot.

Watching his new TV, thanks to Aunt Kelly & Uncle David.

Passed out on the couch. This doesn’t happen too often anymore, unfortunately.

 

No matter where I put my vacuum, he parks his right next to it.
