::Marquette::


Well this past week was an eventful one, Brogan turned 3 months old last Wednesday and this past weekend we took him to the UP/Marquette for the first time! It was so good to see friends that we haven't seen for a while!!!

This was Brogan's first time to the UP so of Course we had to stop and snap some pictures at the bridge!



When we got there Mom and Brogan went to dinner with the girls who were DYING to see the little guy and he got passed around the table pretty much the whole night! Dad went to go hang out with some friends that we waiting to see him at the old house :)

On Saturday we had Vanessa's baby shower for Brogans new little friend who will be here in just a couple months! She's just glowing!! We also met some other little friends, this was the first time Brogan had been around other babies! And of course got sick! hahaha its ok a little cold never hurt anyone

The soon to be new Mommy!

Brogan and his "Girlfriend" Rylee !


After the shower we did a quick change and put on our Football gear! Time for Brogan's first football game (out of the womb that is) GOOO CATS!!! He Loved it!





What an EXCITING DAY!!! A friend of ours Amanda watched Brogan for the evening so that we could go out with our friends one last time before a lot of them graduated and moved away!

On Sunday we had Buddy's Senior football banquet. It was an emotional time for most of the room. Time to say goodbye to a lot of good friends that were made over the last 4 years. Many tears were shed by everyone there, but a lot of laughs and memories were shared as well. My personal favorite of all the banquets !!!

Here is a video of Brogan and Rylee playing together at the end of the Banquet :)



Then for the LONG ride home, Brogan had a cold and we were both tired from a veryyy long weekend. Needless to say the long care ride threw off Brogans schedule so he really didn't sleep the whole next week haha but we dealt with it!!

It was also the last weekend we would spend together as a family for a while. Buddy found a new team with the IOWA BARNSTORMERS, and he left for there on Monday after we got home. I will update on his progress for you guys as well!!!

::Introduction::

Although his life was unplanned Brogan has brought so much joy to ours. We found out we were pregnant May 21st, 2007, and what a shock that was. Looking back on that time now, as i look into his big blue eyes, I don't think we ever could have known what happiness he would bring with his arrival. I worked right up until my water broke at 4:40pm on January 15th. My heart was beating so fast as Buddy met me at my house (after i had to call and pull him out of an interview to let him know it was "TIME", he got the phone call he had wanted! Since I was scheduled to have an induction on the Thursday following and we both really wanted it to happen naturally. We got to the hospital between 6 and 6:30 and i was dilated to 5. After I got the epidural around 8:30 -9 I dilated to 10 within the hour, but was so numb that I could not feel my contractions to push. Poor Brogan was stuck there for another 3 hours with his head just trying to come out! We turned down the epidural, and when I could feel enough to push, it only took 1 hour and our baby boy was delivered into this world by his Daddy and Grandma Wood at 1:51 am on January 16th 2008. Grandma R and Aunt Chelsea and Aunt Brooke were also there to share that special moment and capture it with photographs and video. The rest of the family came in shortly after. What an amazing experience this has been...
