It’s not really a secret that blog upkeep was not my strength this year. There are so many little things we do that I don’t think warrant their own blog post, but then I look back at all our summer pics and realize we did some awesome stuff! Aside from things I’ve already written about…

This is a tradition that I know is short lived, but I sure do love it while it lasts! The city of Frisco hosts an annual Mother-Son Dance (they also do a Daddy-Daughter Dance) in the fall. Last year, the theme was 80s and this year it was “Saturday Night Fever.” I’m all about themes,…

If it’s not clear, I love pop music. I also love Vegas. Two years ago, Britney Spears announced a permanent show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. At the time, Oscar was so tiny (term used loosely), that it never seemed like a possibility. Fast forward two years later and all the stars aligned. I’m…

Poor Bentley – we have no idea how old this guy is!  When we got him last year, they thought he was a year an a half to two years old.  Based on his playfulness, we decided he was closer to one year. But no one knows.  But, with that in mind, we decided to…

I think we’ve lost count as to how many times we’ve seen Kelly Clarkson. I need to count my ticket stubs, but after a quick review on her wikipedia page, I think this concert was our 11th???  We saw her once in Dallas for a charity concert that wasn’t part of a tour, so I…

Against my original judgement, we decided to keep Walt in soccer over the summer. I thought this was overkill for a 4 year old and really thought he’d enjoy the break over the summer. I was wrong 🙂  The way the team did it over the summer was absolutely perfect.  There were no practices. Just…

We are so very fortunate to be able to take a few days away from the kiddos to recharge. Sometimes you just have to step away from it all and remember what really matters. We missed the boys like crazy, but this trip was super fun! Somehow all the stars aligned and we were able…

I know what you’re thinking: Aren’t the Bruns’ in a brand new house? Why do they need a new kitchen? You’re exactly right. We bought our house new in March 2012.  That being said, it was a spec house, so we did not have the opportunity to pick out any of the design pieces.  We…

Warning: Picture overload! We just got back from our first airplane-distance family trip, and I think it was a success! Last year, we took a trip to Galveston with friends, which was a great way to practice vacationing as a family of four.  This time we flew to Denver, CO and stayed for a whole week!…

This is not at ALL how we thought two years old would start out.  In fact, since our horrendous winter where we couldn’t stay well to save our lives, we thought we were on a great preventative plan.  As I’ve mentioned, Oscar is under close care of his pediatrician and a pulmonologist/allergist. He takes a…
