San Diego Zoo

We had a wonderful trip to San Diego. The thing that made it soooo wonderful is that Nana and Tata were there with us. Isabelle always enjoys spending time with them and I am sure Bronco will be the same. We all need our Nana and Tata time.

During the trip we took the kids to the big San Diego Zoo. This is Isabelle's third time to a zoo. It was a very hot day, but the kids did so well.

Bronson was so excited to see all the animals.

After awhile he got tired and decided to take a rest.

Isabelle was exploring all the animals.

The boys taking a break!

Look at how cute Bronson is, he wanted to be a construction worker at the zoo.

Isabelle could not decide which stuff animal she wanted.

As you can see Isabelle went with the pink monkey.

We will definitely be going back someday!

Bronson has all his ducks in a row

Happy Veteran's Day

Halloween

This Halloween was so much fun. Isabelle had such a wonderful time trick or treating. TJ and I took turns taking her and Bronco just stayed in and helped pass out candy.

Isabelle and Bronson were the cutest pumpkins in the patch.

Isabelle went through her bag looking through all of her goodies. We only let her have a few pieces before she went to bed.

We decided to carve our initials in our pumpkins. Throughout the whole night people kept asking us what the pumpkins spelt.

Baby Bouncer

Bronco is able to use the bouncer now. He likes to play with all of the toys.

He is getting big!

Isabelle's Favorite Song

Isabelle's favorite song is Hey, Soul Sister by Train. Every time she hears it she starts dancing. So Daddy put it on his IPOD for her and she will listen it to it over and over.

Snip-Its

Isabelle finally had her first haircut, maybe not a cut but definitely a trim.

Ever since she was born I knew that I wanted to take her to this kids salon called Snip-its, it is a pretty cool place.

I'm not sure it made a big difference, she still has wild and crazy hair!

I think she enjoyed everything except the drape.

After they were all done which took maybe two minutes they gave us a little certificate and her first snip-it.

For being such a big girl during her haircut they gave her a surprise. She got a pretty sapphire necklace and ring set.

We definitely will be going back!

Happy Halloween

Pictures

Isabelle's 21 month and Bronson's 4 month photos.

Check-Up

Bronson had his 4 month appointment today.

He is our little big man!

He weighed in at 13 pounds and 24 1/2 inches tall.

He did so well with the shots too.
Dr. Clark said he is right on track.

Big Smile

I love my cousin

Last night we got to visit with baby Bradley.

Isn't he so handsome?

Bronson was sleeping so he didn't get to be in the picture.

Morning cup of cocoa

Yummy! Hot Cocoa in the morning.
Isabelle has been sneaking sips of our coffee for weeks now so we decided it was time to let her in on our morning ritual. She fit right in!

Where did our baby girl go

So it all started last week...

I put Isabelle in her crib for her morning nap and she was not quite sure she was ready for nap time yet. So I left her in crib letting her put herself to sleep and went along with my morning chores. After a few minutes I went and looked at the video monitor to see if she fell asleep. Much to my surprise there was no Isabelle. At first I thought maybe she is at the other end of the crib that I can't see, but then all of a sudden I see two little hands pop up on the outside of the crib. Yes, Isabelle climbed out (actually jumped out) of her crib. I ran in there and she was trying to get back in. That little rascal!

So now she is in a toddler bed and she loves it. Every time we go to her room she hops right on to her big girl bed.

A nice visit

Bronco spending some quality time with Papa Arnie.

sssshhhh

Isabelle likes to make sure everyone is being quiet when the baby is sleeping.

Bronco's 3 Month Photos

That smile melts my heart!

Yummy

Bronco had his first bite of rice cereal. He seemed alittle confused, but I think it might just take a few more times for him to get used to it.

I just can not believe that he is eating solids already.

Like Father Like Son

Bronson has the same taste as his daddy. If you look close they are both wearing Ralph Lauren robes with their initials on it.

So handsome!

GG

GG came over for a visit and we had a wonderful time. Isabelle was having so much fun showing GG how to do the puzzle.

Duds'n Suds

Isabelle is definitely my daughter.

She loves helping me with all the chores. She did not even mind that I took her shirt off to put it in the washer, I try to get all the washing done at one time.

I think her next favorite chore is dusting!

No Paci Needed

Talking Up a Storm

It seems like everyday Isabelle has a new favorite word.

It is so fun to hear her talk, even though it comes with lots of attitude.

Some of her favorite words:

No

Ow - used to express pain

Don't

Bye- she says it in a southern accent

Hi

Cheers

How Sweet it is

Taking care of the babies

She is truly the sweetest!

Happy Little Man

Our Sleepyheads

Taking a nap together. So sweet!

Go Pack

Bronson attended his first UNR football game.

They had on matching outfits, so cute!

Nana with all her Great Grand children.

Look how adorable Isabelle is, she is a little UNR cheerleader. I will get a better picture at the next game.

Bronson's Nanny

I asked Isabelle if she wanted to feed Bronson and she was so excited. She came right over and knew exactly what she was doing. After he was done eating she went and found his pacifier for him and just wanted to take care of him.

She truly loves her little brother so much!

She is a wonderful big sis!

Hanging out with my cousin

Today, Bronson spent some time with his Bradley.

They are truly so adorable together.

Look at them sit up like big boys!
Just relaxing!

To Our Surprise

Look what we found when we entered the room.

Yes, she is on the kitchen table.

She has recently discovered how to climb and decided to explore.

We definitely have to brake this habit.

Family Chores

This is how we do dishes in the Buxton household.

We do it under the watchful eye of management.

Don't mind the purple Bumbo, it was a hand me down.

Tummy Time

Bronson enjoying the view on his tummy. He is getting strong!

2 1/2- 3 Month Check Up

Bronson had his suppose to be two month but actually closer to three month appointment last week. He weighed in at 11.6 and 22 inches tall. He was in the 25 percentile, he is our big boy!

He did so well during all the shots, but later in the day he seemed to be alittle upset. After a dose of Tylenol and a nap he was all better.

Always Fun at the Park

Isabelle and Bronson really enjoy going to the park so we try to take them a few times a week. It is amazing to watch her climb around, she truly is a big girl now. The first time we took her to the park she was kind of shy and we would have to hold her hand down the slide. Now she is going down every slide by herself (even the big kid ones) and wants to be pushed faster and faster on the swing. She is not afraid of anything.

It is time for us to get a swing set!

Everyday we read to little Miss Isabelle, but lately she has been reading to us!
