Brandon just being cute... 6:12 PM

I caught Brandon carrying on a really long conversation with someone on the phone. He was being shy on camera (I guess he didn't want his conversation taped!!), but he was still being cute!

Colin trying to walk and talk 6:13 PM

Colin LOVES to talk. He repeats almost everything. So far his words include: "mama, dada, baby, mema, ball, b-ball (brandon's nickname), yummy, ut oh, no, shoes, dog, meow, hat, hot, belly, hi, bye, wow"...i know there are more, but i can't think of them right now. In this video, he is trying to push the wagon, but he also says a bunch of words towards the end!

Enjoy!

Daddy all dressed up 6:10 PM

Last Friday, we went to our friend Troy's commissioning ceremony in Daytona Beach. Juan got to give him his first salute as an officer! It was an awesome ceremony. Here are a few pics of Juan in uniform!

Our Bathroom 6:02 PM

One of my "dreams" was always to own a house and paint a mural somewhere in it. Well, we bought a house and I painted a mural...and then carried the beach theme throughout the bathroom! I am very happy with how it turned out. Eventually I want to add a few more things here and there, but for now here is what it looks like!

Buffalo! 5:49 PM

Erica and I took a very short (but very well worth it) trip to Buffalo a few weeks ago. We had a great time! While we were there we got to catch up with the Cipollas and meet baby John (such a beautiful baby!!), we spent a lot of time with Papa and got to meet Esther, we hung out with Aunt Monica and Sheila, we got to visit with Aunt Bea (who is 99 years old!!), we met one of my online friends and her son, and we even made time to find some geocaches while there! Here are some of my favorite pictures from our trip!

Animal Kingdom 5:51 PM

Our last day in Orlando, we went to Animal Kingdom. It was a really cool place. We met a few more characters, saw an awesome Lion King show (Colin and I had to leave early though because he was not enjoying it!!), went on a crazy safari ride, saw lots of animals & the kids got to pet some animals. I didn't want to leave because I knew it was going to be our last day there, and I was getting sad. Anyways, here are some pictures!

Meeting Pochahontis

Since Colin and I left the Lion King show early, there were NO lines to see some of the characters, so I took him and he got to meet Goofy and Donald Duck. He was so fascinated with them!

Towards the end of the day, Brandon and Colin went back to the hotel with Juan and Nemah and Kira was napping in her stroller, so Rachel and I took Kylie to see a few more characters. I had to get in on the act so I could get them to sign Brandon's autograph book!

And a really cool tree was in the middle of the park. It aparently has 350 different animals carved into it. I thought it was the coolest thing ever!
