Even though Brandon and I couldn’t be with our mom’s and all the other mom’s we love so much we do want to say thank you for being such an important part of our lives.  Without you our lives would not be complete.  Happy Mother’s Day.  With all our love, Stephanie & Brandon

Oh my goodness. I could just eat these two up. They turn 1 on June 2nd and we can’t wait to make our way to Louisiana to celebrate. We have not been back home since X-mas so June will be a huge treat. It is hard being away from those you love, but the pictures and webcam certainly come in handy. Good thing we have all this technology. My sister and her hubby have the 2 cutest twins ever. And I am not just saying that because they are my little nephews…they just are :) Enjoy there pics…click here!

Poppy and little Johnny came to visit us in Jax over the past two weeks. It was terrific to see them and the rest of the Martin Family. We enjoyed a fabulous BBQ at the Martin’s home on Black Creek. There were kids running around all over, with swimming, volleyball & drinks! It was a great time. Then Brandon and I had Poppy, little Johnny and Poppy’s sister Holly over for dinner on Thursday night. We feasted on a delicious gourmet salad Poppy suggested & made for us. It is amazing to see Poppy as a mom. She is a natural and is so happy. Johnny is a sweet baby and very happy. The only time he cried is when he was hungry or needed a diaper change. How lucky did Poppy & John get! Very very lucky :) We can’t wait until they are in town again. Enjoy the pics…click here!

The giant is celebrating his birthday this week and he is having a blast. Last night we headed out to Stonewood for a late Birthday dinner with Shelby & Coley. We had a blast and couldn’t stop the laughs. They just kept coming and coming with one joke flying out of Brandon’s mouth and then another and another. Really you missed a good time. So here are a few pictures from last night and there will be more to come as we continue Brandon’s Birthday celebration downtown at Burrito Gallery & Mark’s this weekend. Come on out if you want to buy Brandon a shot of Jager and Red Bull…his favorite :) Enjoy…click here!

What a great holiday…Easter in Jax with Colleen, Scott & Grandpa Scott! It was certainly a treat and we enjoyed every minute of it. We ate tons of food (fried olives, chocolate fondue, Capital Grille) drank some wine/margaritas and played some games to name a few things. Colleen & Scott bought us a new lawnmower to use at our new home as well as a ladder. We love to see our family every chance we can get. Thanks to Colleen, Scott & Grandpa Scott for making the trip down or over. It was a blessing to be with you all. Enjoy our pics…click here!

My dad shared a cool website called BitStrips with me. It allows you to make your own personalized comic strips! So, of course, I’m hooked.

I just can’t say enough how much these two little twins are adored by me. Living so far away is tough as I want to see them grow, but the constant pictures and our webcam sure does come in handy. Enjoy their 9 months pictures.

Yesterday afternoon at 4p Brandon and I closed on our new home!  It took 45 minutes.  We spent the most money in 45 minutes than ever!  But it was well worth it.  We can’t wait to move in this weekend and start to get settled in. 

Last night we went to our new home and turned the keys for the first time.  We toasted with some red wine and plastic cups.  Yep, plastic cups.  All our glasses are packed up.  It was thrilling to finally close.  We even had one of our new neighbors stop by to introduce herself.  She invited us over to her home to meet her husband and have a toast to us as well.  It was a great experience and we look forward to making many new memories in this home.
