Oregon in May

We had not been to Oregon since Christmas 2010, and after one cancelled trip back in March we finally made it out. We had an amazing trip and even made it out to the coast for a few days. After visiting with Devin's grandparents we realize that Brayden should of been names Leo after his great grandfather because he has his smile 100%. We also feel very blessed that we were able to get a picture of 4 generations of Zupan men. We miss our Oregon family and friends tons and can't wait to come back in Decemeber! Thanks for a great trip :)

4 Generations of Zupans

Grampy "fell asleep" in the car with Cami on the way to the coast

Cami and Brayden with their Grampy and nona

Cami LOVED the ocean, but it was way to cold to swim in. She did take a good face plant though into the water when she was running away from the wave

We found a baby seal on the coast trying to make it back to the ocean. It did eventually make it!

Both kids LOVE their Aunt Chels

Beautiful Coastal sunset

Easter in the 'Ham

This year for Easter we decided to venture down to Birmingham to visit my Papa and Grandma. We had several more "Easter Egg Hunt's" on the back porch and loved just hanging out. Easter Morning the Easter Bunny decided to bring Cambria and Brayden some fun treats. We then went to church out in Gardendale where I spent about 5 years there and my parents still attend. It was a great service and a great reminder of why we celebrate Easter!

Some of my cousins from my dads side of the family joined us for church and then more for lunch after church at a park. It was great seeing all of them!

Cambria and Brayden's 1st Easter Egg Hunt

Cami and Brayden and all their Daycare friends with Susan our friend and teacher

She was sooo proud of the 1st egg she found

I looked over and apparently Cami got tired of looking for eggs and she was sitting in the chair starting to unwrap candy. Gibson (her "bestfriend") decided to come join. They are so cute together!

 Yes it is June and I am just now blogging about Easter! We have had jam packed weekends or I have just been too tired to blog. Anyways, enough about that!

This year Cambria and Brayden had their 1st Easter Egg Hunt at their daycare. Cami got REALLY into it and absolutely loved it. Brayden just wanted to throw the eggs or squish them. I enjoyed getting to time the day off of work to watch them and see them interact with their friends. Makes me excited for next year to see them both get into it.

All About Brayden

Brayden, Brayden, Brayden... He is just such a quiet little guy. Just this past month he has started babbling and discovering his voice. He can now say "mama" and "dada." He is VERY mischievous and knows it. We have gotten to where we have to put the dog's water up because all he wants to do is play in it. That being said, he has been crawling for about 6 weeks now, pulling u on anything and everything, and likes to cruise holding on to the couch. He is still a tiny little guy only being in the 10th percentile. It is also funny to see how much his little face hasn't changed! Other then his newborn pictures, it seems like all his other pictures he kind of looks the same. hehe. We love how Brayden's face lights up and he smile SO big when he sees us.  Everyone seems to always comment on his smile and his eyes. I keep on trying to capture it, but I have to say his "pitiful face" is pretty heart breaking too. Let's just say he is for sure a mommas boy because I can't seem to stomach walking by and him start crying because he wants me to pick him up. Can we say moms a sucker?! We love our little guy and what all he brings to our family!

Love that smile

He absolutely loves socks and I don't know why. I told Devin this past week I apparently need to get a blanket made of socks and he would be in heaven :)

he likes to get up on all 4's to crawl sometimes

Absolutely LOVES the water and bath time. I would say we have another water baby

Splash King!!

All About Cami

Cami's little personality is just coming out all over lately. One thing in particular is she loves to sing. Her latest song goes like this... "Twinkle twinkle little star how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high because the Bible tells me so." It is so funny and cute and she sings it everytime with all her little heart. Cami can sing her ABC's, knowns the months of year, and can count to 17. We do need to work on her name a bit... she always says Cambria Zupan Faith. hehe. Some of her favorite songs are "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "Jesus loves Me,"  "I Like to Eat Apples and Bananas," and many others. Another thing that we absolutely love is in the morning before we say anything she says " Well, Good morning Mommy... Good morning Daddy." We love our little girl and all she brings to our family :)

She Loves her Dora purse and was ready to go to Susan's for the day

She absolutely LOVES to swing

Really mom? You are really taking a picture of me right now?

She has learned a new habit of covering her face EVERY night with her lovey's

Aren't I cool?!

Brother- Sister Love

To watch Cami and Brayden play together and love on each other is so sweet. It makes all the crazy times of having 2 kids only 16 months apart COMPLETELY worth it. Here is just one night in particular that I decided to go grab my camera to capture some of the special moments.

Cami wanted to help wash Brayden's face and hair
