Talk about Belated!!!

Happy belated birthday Finn!!!
Ok, so it's not that we didn't celebrate it on time,
it's just that I'm a little late blogging about it
(like a month and a half late)
Finn turned 2 on February 6th 2011.
He had such a fun Super Bowl Birthday Bash
and scored lots of "Buzz Story" and Cars stuff
his favorites...
Papa and Grandma got Finn a Buzz
that he still won't let go of to this day
a little football SWAG for all the kids
(and adults)
Brandon's grandma made Finn this awesome football cake...
and he loved it :)
Happy Birthday little guy!

4 months

our sweet little Liam is growing so big
and with every inch he just gets cuter and cuter :)
we took Liam in for his 4 month check up a few weeks ago
Weight: 14.3 (45%)
Height: 25 (60%)
Let's just say we thought his cheeks alone were going to tip the scales
turns out our chubby little man is a little chubby man!

A Very Merry Christmas!!!

We had such a magical Christmas...
Santa stopped by the Branch house on his Christmas Eve run
just to check on the kids
and to make sure he had all the right presents packed in his sleigh.
Santa is seriously my favorite jolly old guy :)
he told us lots of fun stories and answered all the kids questions.
Santa even came with an early little present for everyone!!!
Christmas morning Finnegan came out to see
that Santa had brought exactly what he asked for...
"HOHO BIKE"
Finn also scored with:
-Buzz Lightyear skateboard
-sled
-T-Ball set
-Lots of cars and books
-and his favorite was his Lightning MacQueen car
(which he would not let go of the entire day).
Liam pretty much slept the entire Christmas morning
so Finn got to open all his two presents:
-a car seat toy and a rattle
(I don't think Liam was too sad)
Merry Christmas!!!

Fall Festivities!

We started out our fall festivities
by going to the pumpkin patch and enjoying a fun hay ride
with our cute friends TJ, Erica, and Owen :)
Liam slept the entire time all warm and snuggled against daddys chest
while Finn ran wild enjoying everything and taking it all in.
Finn found himself the perfect pumpkin
while at the pumpkin patch with Papa.
I guess he had to sit on every pumpkin
before choosing his very own.
Let the wild carving begin...
Here is Brandon's famous work of art
1st place prize pumpkin!!!
Halloween wouldn't be Halloween
without the Branch Family Halloween party...
Every year we get together all dressed up in our costumes
and play an intense game of bunco.

Friday before Halloween
I dressed up the kids and we took off to see daddy at work.
We went around from desk to desk Trick-or-Treating.
Finn didn't make it to too many desks
being that every time he got a new candy
he had to stop and eat it before continuing on.
Finn the monkey
Liam the Tootsie Roll
Although Halloween was a blustery day
we had a super awesome Halloween.
Grandma and Papa came to see our little bug off
for his first Trick-or-Treating adventure!!!
Finn was so excited to be in his cute costume
and to get out there to collect all his "nandy"
Brandon and Papa took Finn around Trick-or-Treating
while my mom and me stayed with a little sleeping baby
and to great the cute little Trick-or-Treaters
with a good scare and a treat :)
After making the rounds in our neighborhood
Finn went Trick-or-Treating with the cousins.
We had a FUN Halloween!!!
