Trick or Treat

Candy Rulz! Braily got to collect all the candy while we ate it! " Do as I say not as I do"

Here are some shots from Halloween night. Braily was a princess and Jayla was the old Hotdog! Ha! I really do love that costume. Also Mike and Kristin brought their little Ava over dressed as a ladybug. The two girls played with the candy and helped do the dishes after we ate. Kristin made some "good ol boy" lasagna and brownies that hit the spot!

Do you think she is excited?

Sister LOVE!

Redheads

In honor of my two special redheads! This poster truly sums them up!

I'm so ecstatic to have you Katie and Braily.

Caption PLEASE!

Write a caption in the Comment section below this post. I took this shot and thought it was hilarious!

14 Months Later

Not sure if everyone knows this but Braily and Jayla are exactily 14 months apart TO THE DAY! Both born on the 13th and both born on a Monday morning weird huh? Anyways 14 months really doesn't seem like that far apart, but look at these pictures to how much bigger one is to the other, its CRAZY!

Jayla is doing great! She sleeps alot and only really fusses one time a day. Now don't get me wrong she fusses durning the day on and off but only really throws a fit in the late afternoon. Other than that she is a great baby and hope shes stays on her good behavior. ha!

Here are a few shots of the girls side by side and a few close ups of Jayla, seems she is changing everyday.

Welcome Jayla Ann Collard

Wow, we are finally home with our new baby girl Jayla Ann. She was born Oct 13th at 8:12 in the morning. She weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 20.5" long. As you know from the post before that she had an appointment to be induced at 5AM on Monday, but that is not how the story went. Sunday night we were laying in bed ready to fall asleep still deciding on a name for our girl, just as i fell asleep Kate jumps out of bed saying her water broke! Holy smokes what a wake up call that is let me tell you. So we leave the house at 1:58 AM and head to the hospital ( I took a pic as you can see below). Kate did an amazing job in the hospital and little Jayla was born in no time at all.

Ms. Braily loves her little sister and wants to touch and kiss her all the time, she even fake cries when Jayla cries.

Katie's cousin Heather delivered her healthy baby boy on Tuesday afternoon at the same hospital. Crazy, we even sweet talked the nurses to give her the next room over from Katie's. There is a picture below of the two of them together just before we left.

Thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers and for all the gifts and flowers we received, we greatly appreciate everything.

Inducing Monday the 13th

That's right, Kate went to the Doc on Friday and they said they would induce her labor Monday morning at 5 AM. Wow that is an early wake up call. That will mean that her and Braily will be exactly 14 months apart, and both have the 13th as their birthday. Easy for a Dad to remember! So that is where we will be on Monday and hopefully have a quick and safe labor. The Browns play Monday night so I told Katie to wrap it up before then so we can watch. Ha ha. Please pray that Katie and the new one have a safe and easy labor and that everything goes just as planned. I will keep you all posted of our new little girl as soon as she arrives.

On a pumpkin search

Last Saturday we went on a search for pumpkins with Braily. It was the perfect fall day, warm sun with a cool temp, perfect football weather. The leaves are just starting to turn color and we drove down to Szalay's Farm to search for pumpkins, walk the trails, and drink some hot cider. Braily was so excited she was walking around everywhere and looking at all the different pumpkins. She found the perfect one just her size, and got to rock in a big old rocking chair here are some shots from the day.

Go Browns

Look who just got a Browns' Braylon Edwards jersey just like her dad. Here she is rolling around and playin' a little FOOTBALL!

GO BROWNS!Ready.. Set


She's up and ready for the tackle after eating a little grass snack!

She's goin' long, and might not be coming back!

I hope she knows how to get back home?
See ya Edwards

Grady is Here!

Everyone welcome Grady White to the world! He was 8lbs 8oz and 21inches long and born this past Sunday. This is our best friends Jason and Jacinda's new edition to their family. Jason is a big fisherman if you don't know! *Hint* notice the walleye hat on Grady. This little boy will be on the lake fishing in no time. Congrats to your new family guys, and good luck sleeping for a while!

My Moms Birthday

This past Thursday was my mother's birthday. I won't say how old she is but she has been an amazing mother and grandma. We all gathered together this past weekend to celebrate. My brother Eric and his girlfriend Jess came up from Columbus for the weekend also. Saturday night we all went out to this great restaurant called CRAVE , a trendy atmosphere with a ridiculous menu. Click the link to see what it's all about. After dinner we went back to our place and had birthday cake, which is the best thing about birthdays! (except presents of course.) It was great to spend the weekend with everyone. See below for some shots of the night and Grandma and Braily blowing out the birthday candles. Ohh and the empty beer bottle in front of my wife is not hers! Ha!

Mama's Milk

I just heard of a great employment opportunity for my wife that includes free ice cream for the whole family. Click the link Mama's Milk.
