The latest..

What's new with us? Well, we are both up to our eyeballs in schoolwork - especially Brian. It's unbelievable how many tests, case studies, proposals and such he has to do - not to mention studying for his big CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst - hope I got that right!) exam in December. You should see one of his books - maybe I'll post one of his exam questions next time just for fun. It looks like Japanese to me! He tries to read them to me and my mind starts to wander off to other things and all of the sudden he's looking at me and saying "you know?" and I'm like, "....uh....I think my phone is ringing...gotta go!" :) U go Bri!!


Brighton just keeps getting cuter!! Here he is modeling the new shoes my sister got him when we went to the mall - what a sweet auntie!



This is the face he uses to get me to stop doing homework and play with him - works every time.


If he can't be outside, he at least likes to keep tabs on what's going on out there.



I had one of those moments where I really needed some kind of change - nothing a bottle of Nice n Easy from the grocery store couldn't cure (okay, two bottles)! I bought it and then decided to maybe just return it and Brian called me a chicken so, of course, it was ON! I'm kinda diggin' on it, too!!



Well, I think most of you know already but Brighton crawled for the first time on October 23!! He is now a complete expert and is all over the place. He's been trying lots of new foods but we're still waiting for some teeth to show themselves so he can really get in on the action!

Grandma & Grandpa Bourne are in town this weekend!!! Will post pics next time!


P.S. GO UTES!!!!!

Halloween at Brighton's House

Arrrr mateys, surrender ye booty (and also any snacks you might have - this little pirate has a new obsession with food and if you have some and don't share...well, let's just say you probably oughtta share..).

A sea wench, her scurvy sailor, and the captain.





The captain after one too many treats.







Brian is surprisingly festive around Halloween. He even makes root beer with scary dry ice fog (and who couldn't love the sweet skull punch bowl he got - it "bleeds" your beverage out of its eyeballs, awesome!)

You don't think it's weird that we pierced his ear for a Halloween costume, do you? :)

He even raided the candy bowl, but thankfully he doesn't know you can take the wrapper off - sssh!



CUTEST. PIRATES.



EVER.



It snowed again a few days after Halloween, causing Brighton's little pumpkin to cry. The cold may actually preserve our pumpkins for a few days so we can get some more input on whose is best (we are very competitive with these kind of things).
