Fun Adventures and New Friends

Over the last month Brenley and I have been visiting lots of places and people. She had her first road trip to Beaumont to visit her Nana-D and G-Daddy and has met many new friends around town.

In mid-January, we took the five hour journey to Beaumont, just the two of us! Nana-D, G-Daddy and Uncle Kendal were anxious to see little bit and we had a great time just being spoiled! Let's just say I got a full night sleep and hardly changed one diaper while I was there! Here are just a few things we did while we were there...

• went to G-Daddy's work
• went to Nana-D's work
• went to Uncle Kendal's work
• went shopping at the mall
• met and had lunch with Nana Ds friends and met Moses (born just a week before Brenley)
• went to Houston to see Shara and her little man, Jude
• RELAXED and enjoyed our time with family

We had a great time and can't wait to go back in just a few weeks!

Then the next week, we got together with my friends Janae and Cara and their little girls. Cara's daughter, Berkley, is 3 weeks older than Brenley and Janae's daughter, Jae, is 2 weeks younger than Brenley. So they were all born within 5 weeks of eachother. We all became close during our pregnancies and now have fun sharing stories of motherhood. We all got together at Janae's and had a great time talking, asking questions and of course trying to take pictures of our 3 girls -- not an easy task, as you can see below! It was fun!

"Mom, HELP!"

She LOVED this toy!

Our next visit was with my best friend since High school, Tandra, and her daughter, Rachel (16 months). They came and stayed with us one night and we had a great time catching up and she loved getting to meet Brenley! We also introduced them to Babe's Chicken -- YUM! It was so fun to watch Rachel walking around here and talking. Gave us a great look into the future of what Brenley will be like -- it will be so fun!

I can't believe we are Moms! :)

Then this past Monday we went over to my Nanny's and my brother, Kara and four nephews came over too! Those four boys just love their cousin and love to hold and kiss on her -- so sweet! Kara and Chris couldn't wait to get her hands on Brenley either! And of course Nanny loves her Great-Grandaughter and could just look at her all day!

Cohen wanted her out of her seat ASAP!

So fresh and clean!
