Road Trip!!!

Our weekend get-away to St. George...Chad and Stace were nice enough to invite us to stay with them
in their amazing family St. George home
where they made breakfast for us every morning
let us sleep in the good bed
put up with Finns baby fits
and showed us a good time :)

We took a very bumpy drive out to the cliffs
to watch the very pretty sunset
(same cliffs Brandon proposed to me on)
we played Brandon sandwich
(Finn loved it as much as I did haha)
we went golfing
played tennis
went out to eat way too much
watched way too many movies
and spent all Saturday at the most awesome rec center ever
(huge pool-water slide-lazy river-whirl pool-children's play area-rock climbing-basketball-gym-etc-etc-etc)
Finn splashed around in the water like the little stud that he is
while the girls caught some rays
and acted like 10 year olds
enjoying all the amenities of the pool and rec center
and the boys fought the furious currents of the lazy river
and acted like 5 year olds
enjoying all the amenities of the pool
before taking off for another game of golf
Brandon never fails to make me laugh...
that's him playing dead
and trying to make it the entire length of the Lazy River
with just one breath
(mission accomplished)

Thanks Stace and Chad for the bitchen St. George get-away!!!

Happy Easter!!!

I just love holidays and Easter is among the best...
what's better than having a reason to color eggs
hide them around the house
and then send your husband and baby
on a wild bunny hunt in search of them?
Ok...so we promised ourselves that we would never become
"those parents"
You know the ones who think their kid is better than everyone's
and their blogs hold nothing but photos of the little brat?
Well it's official...
We have become "those parents"
and we are completely ok with it.
We seriously love this little guy
I mean we thought Holidays were fun with just the two of us
Brandon + Megan + Finnegan = FUNI love when he smiles :)and when he doesn'tThese 3 little tikes melt my heart
even when 2 of them won't smile for a picture hahaThis is how we roll...I think it's funny that little babies have no say
in what's happening to them
poor lil guyI can't wait until Finn gets a little bigger
and can hold his own in the
"Branch Family Easter Egg Hunt"
I'm not sure how excited Finn was to get his Easter basket
maybe all the pictures tuckered him right out

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!!

Love: the Burns Family

Happy St. Patties Day!!!

I know this post is a little late,
but this holiday is kinda a big deal for our family...Brandon proposed to me 2 years ago
(at the request of my hubby,
I have had to edit a few things haha
but if you know me well, you know what I am talking about)
well, we were on our way home from Vegas
when we stopped in St. George for a little snack
and hike out to the cliffs.
While we were getting some snacks at Smiths,
we ran into the High School Musical cast
(Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Tisdale)
I got a picture with Zac and Vanessa to prove it.
We went out to the cliffs to eat our snacks
and enjoy the beautiful sunset.
Brandon should have never put me in charge of the blanket,
because when I went to spread it out on the cliffs edge,
that's when it happened...
(edit)
I'm surprised Brandon actually went through with the proposal
after seeing the true side of me haha
It was a magical day!Finns 1st time going GREEN
he is such a stud!
(that cute little giraffe onsie is from the Sargent Family)
-Thanks-
Finns 1st walk
Megan's 1st walk since Finn was born :)Brandon went on his mission to Ireland
and it seems he caught a little "Luck of the Irish"
seriously, have you seen his wife and child?
He is one Lucky Leprechaun!!!
and I think my dad may have gotten LUCKY!!!
