Baby Otto Arrives!!!

So sorry for my delay in posts!!!  Announcing the arrival of Otto Hank Tebay!!! We were so excited to finally meet this little man.  It only took three days for him to be named!!! He was baby Tebay until shortly before leaving the hospital.  He is an adorable little 6 pound guy!!!  He was born on December 7th 2011. Congratulations Uncle Cal, Auntie E and Mac!

SunRiver 2011

 This year for Christmas, Jay and I took his family to SunRiver for vacation.  We had a wonderful time.  The house we rented was amazing and everyone had a blast. 

 They have a newer swimming center that Jay and I had never been to so the boys were very excited to go swimming. 

 Conner loved getting to swim with Grandma and Grandpa.

 Jack and Daddy! 

 Conner loved the slide but his little bottom hurt afterward.  As you can see the water was not deep in the slide pool!

 Both boys LOVED getting to have their daddy with them for four days straight! We haven't seen much of Jay lately so they were both in heaven. 

 EVERYONE LOOK CLOSELY..... this is what everyday looks like for me!  Yes this is our mother hen with our mischief child!!! I love them both dearly but they sure are giving me a run for my money lately. Luckily, we have been doing the elf on the shelf so Conner has been pretty aware of where "Fred" is and how he is acting.

 And Jack, he doesn't care.  He just gets into everything......over and over and over. 

 All the Brantingham Grandkids!!!

 I tried my darndest to get a good photo but Jack wanted nothing to do with the camera!!!

 All the Brantingham boys!!!

 And the priceless pictures!!!  I am pretty sure Grant is terrified of our boys.  And the mother hen is back at it!!!

 It was just as funny to watch this happen as it is to look at the pictures!!! Here's the best I got Auntie Shaila!!!

 The boys loved having a hot tub outside the back door!

 The boys got to open presents from Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Shaila and Uncle Chris while we were there.  Conner was in heaven and Jack just wanted to stand on everything!

Sunriver was a blast this year!!! We had a wonderful time and look forward to going back with the family again.  The only bumer to the whole trip was there was NO SNOW, not even a skiff on the ground.  Happy Holidays to Everyone!!!  Thank you Jay for working so hard that we could take this trip, I love you lots!!!

Meeting Baby Grant

 We finally got to meet Baby Grant this weekend.  Auntie Shaila and Grant came over on Saturday and both boys were so excited to meet him.  He is quite the little cutie!!!

 Conner was giving Auntie Shaila a tour of our new home when I realized Jack was no longer with us.  When I came out in the living room, Jack was starring at Baby Grant in his car seat.   Jack is fascinated with babies.  I am pretty sure he probably woke him up but we will never know. 

 Jack thought he was pretty great.  Jack had lots to tell him and Auntie Shaila and he gave Grant lots of claps!!

 Conner was pretty excited to but he didn't want to get to close. 

 All the boys took a bath together and had a great time.  They didn't exactly take a great group photo but we did get a good one of Jack and Grant. 

It was a wonderful visit and we were all so happy to finally meet Grant.  He is adorable and a great little baby.  It was also great to get to spend time with Auntie Shaila.  We wish we had more time and lived closer!  We love you both lots!!!

Halloween

 The boys got an early Halloween package from Auntie Karen and Grandmas.  Conner ate only what you see, Jack..... ate it ALL!

 Conner and I made the gingerbread house while Jack was napping.  It only lasted about 30 minutes before the HEAVY roof went sliding to the floor.  He was devastated!

 Sunday night Jay and Conner carved our pumpkins.  They turned out great! Conner said, "I love garving pumpkins!" (Yes, with a G, its not a spelling error)

 Jay did a great job!

 Conner was so proud of his pumpkins!

 For his harvest party at school, Conner dressed up like a dinosaur!  His costume was definitely a hit!

 For Halloween night, the boys were "Thing 1" and "Thing 2".  I will have to say, they were pretty stinkin cute!!!

 Conner was totally into the trick-or-treating, Jack on the other hand just stood back and watched.  He loved running between the houses though.  Our new neighborhood is great for Halloween.  I bet we had at least 20 groups come to our house!  We ran out of candy!

 Conner had a blast at his Harvest party at school.  The dinosaur costume was a little tricky for the games but he did great!

 He was the only kid that I saw get the rings on the pegs!

 And besides swinging the mallet like a baseball bat, he did well at croquet too!

 Fishing of course was his favorite. 

 As you all know Conner is our clean freak so I was surprised when he said he wanted to get his face painted.  He sat through the entire thing, I was so proud. 

And then she let him get up and that was the end of it.  As you can tell we had to go to the bathroom ASAP to clean it off!  At least he tried!  Halloween was great this year at our house.  It was great to see the boys actually get into it.  Happy Halloween!!!
