HaPpY BiRtHdAy DaDdY!!!

Brandons birthday was May 15th

I guess he is now 27

but I will forever and always think he is 25 going on 25

Finn and I had a little surprise party for him

and then I took him to dinner and and a movie

"Angels and Demons"we just love our daddy so much

Brandon is seriously the best dad and husband ever :)

Finn made this cute birthday shirt for his dad
and I got him a sweet computer for his road bike
Brandon loves to road bike
he looks so sexy in those tight spandexCheck out the awesome cake I made for my man...
I promise it did look cute
Brandon just took too long to come inside
and blow out the candles
so the entire cake kinda went up in flames
not to mention,
they were "trick" candles haha

my cute friend Erika gave me the idea for the rainbow cake
Brandon,

I'm so glad your mom and dad had a whoops :)

Happy Birthday Brandon Michael Burns

We love you soooo much!!!

Love: Meg & Finn

Finnegan Michael Burns Blessing May 3, 2009

We were so very excited and nervous (Brandon)

to have our cute little Finn blessed.

The blessing itself was amazing followed by an amazing fiesta.

Thanks to all our friends and family

for sharing this special day with us

and even more for sharing your food with us!!!

(see slide show below for more pictures)

3 months and still a rockstar!!!

Finnegan turned 3 months yesterday!!!

we seriously can't believe how BIG this cute little guy is getting

at his 2 month apt. he was a whopping 12lbs (75%)

and who knows what he is now at 3 months?

Well...we seriously just love Finn

and think nothing but hearts and stars about him

even though he knows he owns his mom and dad :)

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!!!

Shout Out!!!

I just had to do a shout out to my old man

who turned somewhere between 50-55 this week

(we are not sure how old he really is haha)

but obviously no one told him what to do with his hands :)

Happy Birthday Dad

love ya

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
