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…
The New Kitchen
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…
Colorado Trip 2015
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!…
Kicking Off Two in the Hospital
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…
Oscar at Two
I think if you read through all my posts about Oscar over the past two year, you’ll find a recurring theme: Things happen so much faster with the second kid! What happens when you have three kids? Do you blink and they are in college?? So, what is that Oscar-man up to these days? Let’s…
Oscar’s Beach Party
I always say I will NEVER do another party at my house, but this one was actually such a joy! Since Oscar has a summer birthday, I thought we should celebrate with a “beach” party. This was a risky theme considering late June in Texas could mean some sweltering temps. The party gods smiled happily…
Fireballs T-ball
This spring we embarked on a new sport that Walt was especially excited about: t-ball! Walt has been swinging a bat for years, so we were surprised to see that Frisco Baseball Association didn’t start baseball until you are headed into Kindergarten. So, we played this season with McKinney. We properly coerced our soccer coach,…
Walt’s Swim Lessons
This summer, instead of doing the Emler/AquaTots learn-how-to-swim-all-summer-long route, we decided to do a week’s worth of swim lessons with Walt at Ms Erin’s Swim School. Ms. Erin does private group swim lessons out of her house. It’s 30-minutes a day for a whole week. After hearing this, I actually thought Walt would retain more…
Bruns Family Spring Round Up
Since I got so far behind on the blog, I need to lump a few posts into one. I thought I’d run through some fun things we’ve been doing this spring. Group selfie of my sister KK, my mama, Jaelyn and Cassie before we saw Newsies! Jaeyln had a great time! How can you not?…
Chaos Soccer – Spring 2015
It’s been an awfully rainy season, but the boys have really enjoyed their second season playing soccer. I realize they are all only 4 years old, but the improvement from the fall to the spring has been tremendous! We owe a lot of this to our fantastic coach, Coach Tony. He is very encouraging, but…
