What, September is over?????

My goal of having this blog was so that I could let everyone know what was going on with our family, I really had every intention of updating at least once a week, to say the least, I am failing miserably! I am going to try a lot harder, from now on, to do this, I promise!


The month went by incredibly fast for us. We just had so much going on. I am sure this is how most families with school age kids feel, but I just wasn't ready for it. We went to San Diego over Labor Day, then we have just had a bunch of "stuff" happening. Brennar and I started a Music Together class with our good friends Valerie and Eli that is every Tuesday morning - during nap time - so "we" are still deciding if we like it:) but, so far it has been a lot of fun; I decided to do Bunco with the ladies in my neighborhood, which is once a month, and LOVED it; I am doing a womens bible study every Wednesday morning, it has been great so far, I have met quite a few young moms in it, which if great for me; I am trying to do a MOPS group every other Thursday with Valerie; and I am doing a book club once a month with the neighborhood ladies too. We have gone to two Broncos games, two Rockies games and I threw Valerie a baby shower. So... that is why I haven't been good about blogging!!

Although our month was jam packed, we have had so much fun. We love going to the games together and it seems like Brennar does too! Of course, I didn't bring the camera with to any of them:(


Brennar has had a big month too! He has his two bottom teeth now, he is so cute, but I will miss his little gummy smile!




Its hard work getting teeth!!

He has also learned how to pull himself up on, well, anything!! (Sorry to overload you with pictures, but I just can't help myself!!)



He doesn't like smiling for the camera at all:)



Him and his best buddy Eli checking to make sure they ARE doing something they aren't supposed to be!








I am hoping this will be to my advantage when he starts potty-training:)

He also had his 9 month check-up yesterday. He is weighing in at 19lbs exactly, which puts him in the 25% and 30 inches exactly, which is 95%. So he is still long and lean like his daddy!

Sorry again for the marathon post, I promise I will be better in the future! And, again, because I just can't help myself, here are a few more pictures of my little prince charming!!

He is definitely a Stapp boy!

I was going to use this to blackmail him when he is older and has a girlfriend, but then I remembered I won't ever need to because I am never going to let him have one!!

Brennar's Pictures!!

Here is the little man, isn't he so perfect!!! I LOVE the way they turned out - they look exactly like him!

San Diego with the Rockies!

This last weekend we got the chance to go see a Colorado Rockies away game with the team. Clint's work is one of the sponsors of the Rockies and every year as a thank you to them, the team takes all the sponsors to an away game. This year, it just so happened to be in San Diego. At first, I was a little dissappointed that we would be going to the same place we had just been less then a month before, but it actually turned out to be great.
They flew us down on Friday morning, and we then had the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted. We stayed right on the bay in downtown San Diego, so there was a lot for us to do within walking distance of the hotel. It was fantastic! So, being the wild party animals that we are, we ordered room service and took naps:) That same night we had tickets to the game. I was a little worried about Brennar since he had only slept about an hour and had gotten up so early, but he was a trooper. We lasted well into the 6th inning!! We were told, no less than 30 times, how good our baby was. He is such a fantastic little man, even when we travel and mess up his routine.
Saturday we had the entire day to ourselves, so we walked around Sea Port Village in the morning and got lunch. We are people watchers, so the board walk was the perfect opportunity for us to do that:) Later, we went back to the hotel and took Brennar to the hotel pool, which of course, he absolutely loved! I cant wait to take swim lessons with him next summer! Then we had another relaxing night walking around The GasLamp District. The last time we were there, we ran into a cupcake shop, so I HAD to go back this time. I seriously was talking about it for an entire week leading up to the trip:) My good friend from Colorado is almost 9 months pregnant and her only craving has been cupcakes, so we brought her home a box too!
It was so nice to not have a schedule and so much free time. We felt like we had already seen all the big attractions around San Diego, like the Zoo and Sea World, (although I would have gone back to Sea World in a second if Clint would have let me!!) so we really were able to just hang out and relax. It was a prefect little trip for us, and it doesn't hurt that it didnt cost us a dime either!!
So sorry, but I forgot to bring along my camera:(
