Time to catch up

Alright I have a lot of catching up to do on here! I haven't been posting because my computer charger stopped working and it took forever to get a new one. I tried on my kindle but I got too frustrated. SO here it goes....

The week of January 12 was CRAZY busy. I worked all day Monday, and Tuesday morning. After work on Tuesday I ran home, picked up Brant and headed into Bellingham to take him to his Synagis appointment. I HATE those appointments; its where they give Brant the synagis shot for RSV. He gets 2 in each leg and they are incredibly painful. He cries so hard and gets SO worked up and then usually sleeps the rest of the day. After his appointment we went home and I got to cleaning the house up.

Wednesday morning we were up and out of the house bright and early. I had a quick dentist appointment and then headed to bellingham for an annual check-up for me. After we got home I put Brant down for a nap and got to packing for Hawaii. Thursday morning I cleaned and finished packing and spent quality time with Brant before we left for the airport. Our flight left around 2:30 and we got to the hotel in Kapalua on Maui around 11 Hawaii time.

It was so nice to get away! I missed Brant a lot but I think he had a lot of fun with my mom and dad. He LOVES them. The first day we were there we took the bus into town to get groceries and figure out where everything was at then hung out by the pool until it was time to get ready for the Luau. That was a lot of fun, really good food and great show. For the most part we hung out at the beach by the hotel and at the pool. We did go zip lining one day. We had to check in by 7:30 and then headed up the mountain with our instructors- whose names were Trevor & Peter (we all got a good laugh about that- Trevor's roommates name is Peter). It was a blast.

We had a lot of fun but were definitely ready to come home. When we got on the plane to head home Darren and I looked at each other and both said we missed Brant and wanted to go home and see him.

Brant- 1 Year old

OH my where oh where did the time go???

My baby is 1 year old....

I was pretty emotional in the time leading up to his birthday, and honestly I'm still emotional and times and it totally catches me off guard. We had a big super bowl/birthday party for Brant and Darren. It went good. Though half way through the party I started not feeling all that great. Once everyone left I crawled in bed and slept through the majority of the game. I woke up that night feeling pretty awful and had a really high fever. I tried going to work on Monday but they sent me home. And I'm glad because a day of rest seemed to be just what I needed!

Here are a bunch of pictures from Brant's 1 year pictures that we had done by Cassie Van Boven- she did an AWESOME job!
