Nappy Nap Nap

I had to share this great picture of Brice - I found him asleep like this one afternoon during his nap when I went in to check on him. I couldn't resist snapping a quick pic!

Happy Father's Day!

Brice took his first dip in the lake this weeked on Father's Day! We had a great weekend that started out on Saturday with my dad at the lake. We left there and sold my VW (thank goodness) to a nice lady who needs a family car. We got much more for it than we would have if we'd tried to trade it. I got a brand new, 2009 Nissan Rogue and I LOVE IT! It's a small SUV, but it drives like a car, has awesome storage, and gets GREAT gas mileage. Anywho - on Saturday night Fulton and Kathy came over to celebrate father's day with us. We grilled steaks and ate like kings. On Sunday, Brent went on a jeep ride for his usual Starbucks run and then watched a movie down in the basement while Brice and I played (and napped) upstairs. Then, I got to have a few hours to myself to shop and get a pedicure, while the guys had bonding time! We went to get ice cream and then ended the day with "dinner and dateline" - like old times! Brent had a great first Father's Day - I don't tell the fathers in my life how much I love and appreciate them, so this Fathers Day I made it a point to do so. Love to all!

Beach Trip!

The Stone fam took their very first trip to the beach and it was very memorable. We flew to Tampa so dad could also do some work on the trip and Brice was a little fussy on the way down. Once he got settled down, he slept curled up right in my lap and was a perfect angel. We rented a car once we arrived and took the hour long trip to Siesta Key, which is just outside Sarasota. We arrived at Siesta Royale apartments, a place Lauren had been to before and tag teamed Lauren, Brad, and Nick at unit 31. We quickly ate some lunch, unpacked and headed out to the pool with the boys. Nick and Brice swam together before the Staffords hit the road for home. The rest of th week, we enjoyed the beautiful beach --Brice loved the sand (not how it tasted, though) and the ocean. He was most interested in the birds. He became even more mobile during the trip and has fully mastered crawling forward, pulling himself up, and can even stand on his own (no hands, mom!). He was fabulous on the trip home and Brent and I really worked well as a team to make the trip a "no stress" one. We are so excited to see him growing so fast, but also want to hit "pause" and enjoy these moments - he'll be walking in no time! Now, time to babyproof the house.
