Brennan's new sister!

Haven was born Tuesday night at 11:02PM! She was 7lbs 15oz and 20.75 inches long. She is precious and we are excited to bring her home to her big brother. They would not let children up to the hospital because of the H1N1 outbreak, so Brennan has been hanging out with his Mimi and Poppi for the past three nights. Thanks for taking such good care of him Mimi and Poppi!

Halloween 2009

Well, it was a little soggy out, but Brennan braved the elements and got some candy tonight! We had a neighborhood pizza party and then went to about 12 houses to trick or treat. Brennan could have made it to more, but the rain started coming down hard, so we had to call it quits. Mimi and Poppy came to trick or treat with us and they made it tons of fun!

Pumpkin Patch

We got to go to a pumpkin farm today with Grandmom, PopPop, Aunt Lara, Carter, Aunt Melanie, Gabe, and Elyssa! We took a hayride, saw horses, goats, pigs, bunnies, and so much more! It was a blast!




I didn't want to post this picture, because I am in it... and almost 33 weeks pregnant...and very large...but I wanted you to see what my monster was up to. He would not come down from the top of this hay stack to take a picture. I took him down and he pitched a fit, so I decided he could just stay up there. It wasn't worth the fight. Unfortunately he wasn't able to sit in my lap to hide me either! Ugh!

Sept 18th - Moving back in time...

I know I'm going back in time on this blog...but I thought this video was cute (except for my singing). Brennan is talking up a storm and learning so much it is amazing. His favorite questions lately is, "Mommy, what is that?" I answer this question at least thirty times a day.

Go Gamecocks

These pics were taken before Brennan's 2nd birthday, but I haven't been able to post them yet! Brennan got to go to his first Carolina Football game a few weeks ago. He loved it! We made it through 3 quarters then decided we were tired of passing him back and forth...so we headed home. We hope to bring him to many more in his lifetime!

Brennan's 2 years old!!!

WOW! Has it really been two years Lord? What a blessing Brennan has been to our family. He is so full of energy and life and he brings us so much joy. We enjoyed celebrating his 2nd birthday with our immediate family at Monkey Joe's and Pizza Hut! It was great...we didn't have to clean our house! He had a blast playing with his cousin Gabe at Monkey Joe's and loved his pizza, cake and presents at Pizza Hut. We are so thankful to live so close to our families! Here are some pics from the day. I will try to upload some video when I can figure it out!

The beginning of school!

Brennan began preschool three weeks ago and he loves it! It's so fun to hear all of the new songs and bible verses he's learning. Occasionally he doesn't want mommy to leave him, but once she's gone, he's fine. Mommy needs to take some pictures of him at school, but she just can't get it all together!
Brennan made brownies the other day and he enjoyed licking the spoon and bowl...can you tell?



Congratulations to my husband...he is now officially a master! Steven finished his Masters Degree this summer and we are so thankful he is done! No more late nights studying, writing papers or taking quizzes!


New Dancing skills...Brennan still loves dancing.

Life as a working single mom...

I give much credit to all of those single moms out there that work and then come home to their children with zero break in between. That has been me for a week and a half. I really don't know how anyone lives far from family...because I couldn't do it without mine. Life has been busy for the last month and Steven has been in Spartanburg at training camp for almost two weeks now. There is light at the end of the tunnel, but it is a small light right now! Anyways, enough of my complaining...I am feeling bigger (yes, fatter) and feel as if the time is flying by! I am starting to get excited about looking on the girls side of children's stores and just bought girly crib bedding that my mom and I fell in love with in a store window. It wasn't the plan to buy it this early, but we couldn't resist...it's that cute! Well, I wanted to post pictures from our beach vacation a month ago...but can you believe this is the only one I have...and it's not even taken on the beach?

Here are some pictures of Brennan at a Knight's (minor league) baseball game with his cousin Gabe. They had a great time!

It's a GIRL!

Steven and I were very surprised last week when we had our ultrasound and they told us we are having a little GIRL! I really thought Brennan was going to have a little brother to push around. We are really excited and I don't think I've quite grasped the idea yet of bows and dresses, but I think it will be fun!

Dancing to the King of Pop

Don't ask me where Brennan got his dancing skills, but I think he's pretty cute! He's watching a video of MJ dancing...

Happy 4th of July!

We celebrated the 4th of July on Friday and Saturday this weekend! We went to Pops in the Park on Friday night and listened to the symphony play and saw fireworks. Then on Saturday we headed to Rock Hill where we ate tons of great food and hung out with Steven's side of the family. We enjoyed every minute of it! The camera was dead on Saturday, so someone will have to share their pics with me. Here are pictures of us at Pops in the Park...

EdVenture with the Edgren's!

Brennan and I headed to Columbia this past Thursday to visit Hannah, Michael, and Jonathan! We had a blast at EdVenture, the children's museum in downtown Columbia. Of course Brennan loved every minute of it and we had to pull him away from the water after he had soaked himself and everyone around him. Here are some of the many great pics! It was great seeing you Hannah! You're boys are wonderful! Let's play again soon!

Brennan and Jonathan loved seeing all of the beautiful butterflies! They wanted to touch them too...which was a no no!

It was hard for us to get anyone to stand still for pictures because there was so much to explore! They had a fire truck and fireman outfits for the kids to put on!

This is a statue...I'm not sure if Brennan really knew that!

Brennan and Michael tried out the bulldozer...

You can't tell Brennan is soaked...but he is...Hannah's boys on the other hand...dry as a whistle!

Welcome Baby Carter!

Brennan got to meet his newest cousin yesterday! My sister Lara had Carter Joseph freeman on June 24th! He is super cute and we can't wait to play with him more!

Breaking News!

Well the Drummonds are officially pregnant! Not all of us, but I am! I am now 13 weeks and beginning to feel a little better. I think someone sucked all of the energy out of me for the past three months. I'm hoping they give it back! I am due December 28th so let's start praying now that the baby is not born on Dec 24, 25 or 31st!!! (For it's sake, not mine)

Handsome little man!

These are just some random pictures of Brennan over the past few weeks. Enjoy!

Hi Mickey Mouse!

Well, after our trip to Carowinds we thought we'd do an even bigger theme park since Brennan loved it so much! DISNEY WORLD!!! We took MiMi, Ty and Zeke (Steven's cousin's two sons) and headed to visit Mickey Mouse. We had a great time and Brennan LOVED it! It was great because he really could ride everything except the big roller coaster rides. He finished each ride saying, "MORE!" We can't wait to go back again!

First trip to Carowinds!

Brennan took his first trip to Carowinds today! (An amusement park for all of you who are not from Charlotte). He loved it! He's not tall enough to ride all of the rides, but he can ride a few. I'm bummed the pic of him smiling on the carousel is blurry but it was a moving horse people!


Are these your sunglasses? They have been in my house for at least a year. Brennan had fun with them today. I promise...whoever's they are...we are taking good care of them!
