Grandma and Grandpa Gray spent February down the hill in PB. We got together with some friends and all went to Legoland and rode some rides! Brandon was a trooper on the big slide :)

The boys were excited to see their new baby cousin Isla. It was great to see all the kids together at Grandma and Grandpas house. Grandma’s house may have finally reached capacity – we are getting to big for the picture in the living room :)

We had a brief showing of snow early in our trip to Indiana and we were glad the boys rushed out and built a snowman. Snow did not return until the day after we left… I don’t think it’s let up much since then!

The boys got to visit with Uncle Dan, Jess’s friend Erin and her baby Mallory, and 2nd cousins Noah and Mackenzie. The boys share the love of Batman :)

This is all we got of the boys this Halloween. We had a good time at a party with friends with these superheroes.

We took the boys back to Bates Nut Farm to pick up some pumpkins this year. It was Brandon’s first time, Liam’s second. It was HOT!

Our baby B turned two with his favorite Yo! Gabba Gabba! themed party. He was the happiest we’ve seen him EVER that day…

We got brave and flew with the boys into Indy. This is even before Brandon got sick from the turbulence…

The super boys had fun playing in the backyard.

We somewhat spontaneously decided to take the boys to Disneyland to beat the summer crowds and test the waters with Brandon a few nights away from home. It was a good time – Liam is now tall enough to ride pretty much everything, so Daddy and Liam had blast!

Liam is ready to go! Helping with his suitcase at the hotel…

Cars Land at California Adventure was awesome!

Brandon enjoyed running around and climbing stairs, at least he was free to get in ;)

Of course blankey had to come with us…

Lots of family fun!

Here are a bunch of random pics of the silly boys :)

We took the boys to Sea World and Liam had his first big Roller Coaster ride. He and Daddy make a big splash – Liam was a brave boy but didn’t want to ride it again. Brandon was fascinated by the tide pools…

We colored Easter Eggs with friends Miles and Willow Hess. The kids each chose their weapon to yield for the action photos at the end of the night. Liam made it to the annual Egg Hunt at the PB rec center and met up with some old friends.

We all went to visit Greg at his office and had a play date at the park by the office afterwards with some of Greg’s employees. Nerds!

Is it only a coincidence that Brandon and Uncle Jim have the same t-shirt? It was Liam’s originally….

We spent our first Christmas in San Diego this year. We took the boys to the local tree farm to pick out our first real tree.

Christmas Morning!#

The West Coast Roberts decided to impress the new neighbors by dressing up as Star Wars characters for Halloween. Brandon was unusually cooperative with his Yoda hat, but as you can see was exhausted from the experience. Also did a quick run to the local pumpkin patch for some pumpkins!

We can’t believe our baby “B” is already 1 years old! Grandma and Grandpa Roberts were out helping us pull off our first party in our new house. We had great success!

We headed up to Lake Michigan next where we spent the 4th of July, and then stayed through the week to attend cousin Garrett Gray’s wedding. It was a fun time had by all, and we got to see the entire family.

We paid a visit to the Taltree Miniature Railroad, that was pretty cool.

Liam got to drive Grandpa’s golf cart and Great Grandpa Browns skid steer – and that was awesome!

We took our big vacation this summer back to Indiana to celebrate Greg’s birthday, and attend Jess’s cousins’ wedding. First leg was Indianapolis, where we got to see cousins, second cousins, and all the Aunts and Uncles. It was HOT again this year, but we endured. Josh and Brandon had fun together, and we got some good family photos of the group. Enjoy!

We had an exciting April! Grandma and Grandpa Roberts were out visiting over Easter and helped us get the condo ready to sell: 1125Felspar.com

Brandon is now 6 months old and getting bigger every day! Liam and Vanny are hanging out more than ever, even though he moved a few blocks away.

But first, by popular demand here is Liam’s original song, “I Love You Brandon B” 😊

Brandon trying his first bite of rice cereal. He liked it, and pretty much everything else he’s had so far which is:

• Apples
• Bananas
• Avocado
• Carrots
• Mango

He loves his toys!

Easter Egg Hunt at Liam’s friend Miles' house. Clever egg hiding going on over there!

Brandon’s 6-Month visit to the doctor. 18 lbs (we think it’s more) and 28 inches long! 95th percentile for that Roberts head too.

Brandon is big enough to use the table seat

Brandon’s first visit to the beach to see friends in town for a Wedding. We ALL have at least one child now – most are on #2. Crazy!

Brandon is so much happier now that he can sit and play!

Liam and Van 😊

Here are some pics of the boys – both growing so fast!

The Grays were out here for the entire month of February and it flew by. We had busy times with Jess going back to work, Liam in school two days a week, and trying to keep up with growing Brandon! Here are some pics from this year so far.

We can’t believe our little guy is already 2 months old! He’s smiling more and more and trying to talk to Mommy and Daddy. We are all getting ready for our big trip back to Indiana for the holidays. Here are the latest pics of the boys!

Dan and Jimmy came out from Austin to spend time with their nephews. We all went to Disneyland Wednesday and Thursday (Thanksgiving). The kids cooperated most of the time, but we had double meltdowns at Thanksgiving dinner, so that unfortunately is not documented. We appreciate the Uncles humoring Greg and I as we enjoyed a few rides together at Disneyland. It was insanely crowded, which was not what we expected, but we still had a good time.

At least we had good weather :)

Here are a few random pictures of our Brandon man. He is the gassiest Roberts in this household, and eats all the time. He’s sleeping pretty well at night, but we’re still trying to get everything else figured out. He’s almost 2 months old!

Brandon’s First Bath. This happened while Grandma Gray was still here. No complaints in the bath yet!

Taking a nap

One of his many goofy looks

We get lots of smiles now. I’ve yet to capture one on camera. This is my attempt.

Liam went as a Pumpkin this Halloween at his request. He went out with Daddy and his friend Van while Mommy stayed home with Brandon.

Some candids of our new guy.

Brandon decided to come a week early and was born on Wednesday, October 12 2011 weighing 8lbs 11oz. Liam came to the hospital to visit and introduced himself as the big brother.
