Boots it is! Josh and I are elated to announce that we will be welcoming a baby BOY this summer! About a month ago I made an appointment at Stork Vision (which I highly recommend) to have an ultrasound to determine the sex of our little one.
Josh and I asked our family to accompany us for the special occasion since they are a HUGE part of our lives! However, the family did not immediately join us in the sonogram room, Josh and I wanted to share the moment together first before we invited them in! Baby Gray quickly revealed himself to his mom and dad! Yay! Now it was time to share the good news...Josh gave everyone the go ahead and they anxiously waltzed in! Josh and I chose to keep the news a surprise until they saw the boy parts for themselves! It was so fun to hear them say..."It's a girl....no that's a boy"!! Baby Gray definitey got a little camera shy when the family came in! He had turned over and was lying with his tiny hiny in the air! So sweet! It was a little more difficult for the family to see him and all his glory! But soon enough they were able to get a quick glimpse! Everyone shouted in excitement! What a beautiful moment it was!! Tears filled my eyes and the look on Josh's face was priceless! Baby Gray quickly became Cooper Jackson Gray. He has a name!! It makes this wonderful experience even more real now!
I will post a few sonogram pictures soon!
Thanks for all of the love, prayers and shared excitement! We love you all!
With Love,

Boots or Bows??
Fun Purchase!!
I splurged and bought myself a brand new beautiful pink Juicy Couture handbag! I normally would not spend this much money on myself, but I had some Christmas cash just waiting to be spent on something fun! Juicy was feeling generous for us after Christmas shoppers- they had a no shipping promotional code! Woo Hoo! Even better! I just had to share my purchase with you! Look how cute!
For Sale By Owner
Yes...Crazy I know! We have lived in our home for just over two years now and we love it! So why are we selling you ask? I do not know... ask my husband!! LOL I am serious. He has just recently decided that our home is too small for us, especially upon the arrival of Baby Gray. I am perfectly happy in my home in our very wonderful neighborhood, but I am not going to argue...a new home would be nice! We knew this would be a great starter home and I guess Josh is already ready for bigger and better things. A few weeks ago he and I discussed buying a new house and we drove around looking at subdivisions. I did not think we were serious as of now! Last week to my surprise, he decided to make it official by putting our house on Craigslist. We have already had someone inquire about our house and wants to see pictures!! He has also purchased a For Sale By Owner sign to place in our yard.
I can see it now...our house sells and we will be living in the pool house at my mom and dad's. Not to mention I will be very pregnant living out of boxes.
I don't think it will happen that fast, but I have to say it scares me a little just thinking about it.
Wish us luck,
Bron
Happy Holidays!
Oh how I love the holiday season! The past two weeks have been filled with family, food,parties,friends,gift exchanges,laughter,card games,cold weather...even some SNOW! My Christmas break began on December 18 and is quickly coming to an end :( Josh had some extra vacation days saved up this year so he took off the entire week of Christmas to spend time with me! It was great! We started off the week by visiting the ICE exhibit at the Gaylord Hotel in Grapevine. My sister in law Amy went with us and we ended up spending most of our day there. We had a wonderful time especially me...I can't help it, it's the teacher in me!
Aunt Jackie, Uncle Jack, and Miss Clarabelle (their dog)came into town from Houston on Tuesday. They have been spending Christmas with us (Brandon and I) our entire life. It would not be Christmas without them!! I still get so excited the morning they arrive!
Hadley just turned 4 months old and he celebrated his first (white) Christmas! What a joy it was to have him with us this year! His uncle Josh is already trying to teach him how to ride bulls. OH NO!!
Ellie, our daughter I mean dog, just turned three years old. She is such a great dog! I think she already knows that their is something going on with her mom. She normally sleeps on the foot of our bed, but the last three weeks she has positioned herself right on top of my stomach. I wonder what she will do when my belly grows?!! Her cousin Tye will have to tell her what goes on when there is a baby around the house. Tye and Ellie are best friends. Here is a picture of Ellie at Christmas. She had had enough excitement so she crawled into the gift box and went to sleep!
On December 30 Josh and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary! My friend Jenn and her husband Keith got married the same day and year as us so we decided to double date. We had a blast together! Lots of laughs!! Good times, Good friends!
We had yet another blessed Christmas. I hope you and your family did too! The year 2010 is now upon us and I look forward to all that it brings.
With Love,
Bronwyn
