Happy Birthday, America! Having just returned from our family vacation, we didn’t have anything lined up for the Fourth of July. Admittedly, it’s really tough to plan things since Oscar still takes (and needs) two naps. Not to mention he can easily saw logs for two hours for EACH nap. Walt kept referring to the…

First Family Vacation – Galveston 2014
It’s a minor miracle that I even have the energy to write this. Chris and I just survived our very first family vacation. Don’t get me wrong, we had an amazing time, that you’ll read about in the coming paragraphs. But the word “vacation” is misused in every instance in this blog. There was not…
Oscar is 12 Months
While I wrote an epic blog about Oscar’s first birthday, I still need to document all the cool stuff Oscar is doing now that he’s a full 12 months old. And, let’s be honest, his first birthday party was more about me 😉 Hello, world! I’m a year old! First and foremost, we got a…
Oscar’s Home ONE 1st Birthday Party
*Warning: long post ensuing* I’m not an expert. I only have two kids. But, in my experience with both of these kids, I can tell you that the first birthday is a special one. Of course it’s special for the baby since it’s the pinnacle of a year’s worth of milestones. But, the real celebration…
Swim Lessons 2014
Summer is upon us and one of our favorite activities is swimming. We’ve had Walt in swim lessons every year since he was 18 months old. He’s been luke warm about swimming. At first he LOVED it, but then started to get burned out. Last summer he liked it one week and hated it the…
Oscar is 11 months
Daddy makin’ him laugh. 11 months was a really big one in the Bruns’ house. As you may have read, we have a walker. It certainly makes for few dull moments! See, I’m walking. I think it’s awesome. Oscar is marching (walking, toddling, waddling) his way towards a year and is not even looking back….
Oscar can walk!
What an exciting weekend we had! For starters, it was a long weekend, which is always welcome. We headed out to Gilmer for some Nana and Papa time and apparently that’s all Oscar needed to entice him to get off all fours. Admittedly, the very first time this happened was two weeks ago. At Walt’s…
Oscar Has a lot to Say
This kid has so much to say. This doesn’t even scratch the surface. Usually he is most chatty when looking at pictures and photos.
Oscar’s Bookshelf Project
I typically have good intentions when it comes to DIY projects. I’m a pretty handy girl. I can use a hammer and I’m definitely not afraid of a paint brush (or some spray paint). But, my normal DIY project usually goes like this: Stumble on an adorable project on Pinterest Assess the amount of work…
Oscar is 10 Mos
Oh boy. We are now in double-digit months. Two months away from a whole year old. It’s really unbelievable how quickly the first year goes and how much they change. Just 10 short months ago, we had a teeny tiny (ok, fine. He was never teeny tiny) infant who just ate and slept. hey everyone!…
