Blogging again.....

Well here I am Blogging again. I really do not have much to share. Breanna is growing so fast. Our life has changed alot lately in many ways but we are all doing really good. I know in life you need to make sacrafices to get what you want. We both have many goals and aspirations that we want out of life and want the very best for our daughter. So we have made some drastic decisions to reach our goals. In the end I know they will pay off. As long as we have each other and Bree is happy we are great !

Getting Burnt out of Blogging !

In the beginning I was all about Blogging everything and sharing all the pictures, but now I'm getting Burned out. I am all about communicating via e-mail and the internet because lets face it there is nothing worse then just gettting the baby to sleep and the phone rings and wakes her up.
These days it hasn't been very much fun to blog. I have been putting it off. I love to share this wonderful Gift I have been given but I feel like I Blog to myself. I have created a Monster so to speak. Nobody needs to e-mail me and ask me what I have been doing or what Bree is up to because all they need to do is jump on to read what I wrote and I Never hear what they think or have a conversaion about it. So for now I'm going to play it by ear on my blogging and we will go from there.

Just Having Fun !

Here are some random pictures of us just having fun ! Breanna has learned to give Kisses. It feels like you just got Slimmed when she does kiss you, but ohhhh how precious. Every time she puts her arms up for a hug or kisses me it just melts my heart. Today her first tooth started to break through. You can feel the point, but I'm not able to get a picture yet.

Larry and Tori's Wedding Day !

Breanna had her first wedding and I never imagined that it would be Larry's ! The Day was busy. I did hair for the wedding so Bree went to Uncle Eric and Aunt Jess's house before the wedding

Father's Day !

Here are some pictures from Father's Day ! We invited my Dad and Jackie over for Dinner then afterwards we went to Mom's swimming. Breanna has since really enjoyed Swimming in Grandma's Pool !

Breanna's 6 months Old !!

Bree turned 6 months on Thursday !! She is turning into such a big girl ! She loves to sit up all by herself and can bend and reach for a toy with out losing her balance. She is so strong. When ever I pull out the camera she get's a big smile.

Busy Busy Weekend

We had a very Busy weekend. My weekend started on Thursday. Bree and I did a little shopping at the garage sales in the early afternoon where the best deal I found was a new Baby monitor for .50 cents.It works great and mine just died so it was perfect. Then we headed into the office for a couple of hours so I could do a little work at the office and visit. Bree was so well behaved and did great. Everyone seemed to love her!
After we left the office we headed to my Aunt Donna's house. My Uncle Bruce was flying in from Seattle and Mark was on his way to Donna's with him. I was so excited to see him. When he arrived I was busy in the spare room so I didn't get a chance to see Bree's reaction to him or his to her. When I came out he was loving on her.
She seems to love her Unc Pa. We call him Unc Daddy so of course he is Unc Pa to her.

Friday morning I got up with Mark at 4:30 and did my work from home on the Internet and by 8:00 we were off to the garage sales. Ashley had the festival and so We walked all over town scouting out the deals. I ended up empty handed on the clothing for Bree. I found 1-6 month clothing and 2T-UP, but nothing in the sizes she needs. She's going to be in 9 months at the end of July- August and I really don't have much, but I did get a high chair.I had to call Eric to come pick it up for me. We were able to do some visiting with my cousins that afternoon and friends from school that night.

Saturday we got up and got our fishing stuff around to head to the Dam. Grandpa wanted his ashes spread at the dam and for all of us to have a pole in the water so we opened Breanna's pole and got our reel's on fishing rods. Grandpa bought Mark and I really nice Reels for our wedding and we never got them on rod's until Friday night. As for Bree Grandpa had Aunt Donna get Bree one before he passed away. Breanna was only 1 week old when he died, but he got her a Pink Barbie pole. When we got there she was sleeping so Mark and I went over to Our Spot were we always took Grandpa and tried to catch a fish. Nether one of us ended up with anything.

We headed up to the Parade when we left Elsie and from there we headed to Tommy's Open house. The food was so good.Decorations were great. It was one of the best Open houses I have been to in a while. I didn't get very many pictures though.

Back to Ashley we headed again. This time to the 50th birthday Party for Donna. While we were there Bruce and Mark decided it was time for Breanna to go for her first quad ride. Bruce said that it was time for her to go for a ride and it was either going to be Mark to take her or him. I chose Mark, but after Mark took her then Unc Pa took her. I wouldn't let just anyone take her, but Bruce took me was I was a little kid so I knew I could trust him.

Wendy and Dale came over to mom's to visit with everyone and I actually got a picture of Wendy and Breanna. They have been together several times and I never get a shot of them.

After all this excitement we had fireworks that night too.I was curious on how Bree would handle it but she didn't seem to mind them one way or the other so We ended up going into the house early before the end of fireworks. We were just too tired.

Well now I'm tired just typing this and I didn't even add Sunday into the story ! It was a very fun weekend. Busy and Fun. Mark was home Saturday and Sunday so that gave us Bonus Family Time !!

Just some Recent Pictures

Mark's Birthday !

Mark's Birthday was Saturday so I decided to make the annual German Chocolate Cake for him. This year we added Candles for Breanna to enjoy. She didn't' know what to think of the flame. We went out to dinner with Mark's mom, brother and nephew. They restaurant staff sang Happy Birthday to Mark and while he was embarrassed Bree loved it.She really like the restaurant with all the people.She also became a fan of her Uncle Dave. She kept staring at him. The family resemblance is very strong between Mark and Dave and I think it confused her. at the end of our dinner Our nephew Julian came over and started playing with Breanna the next thing I new he said ewww gross and held out his arm. Apparently she tried to kiss on his arm and he ended up with slobber all the way down his arm. Poor kid !! I wish I could have gotten some pictures but the camera was home.

Memorial Weekend !

Normally we go camping on Memorial weekend, but this year we stayed home. We had an open house and a Patio Party this weekend. Breanna got her first taste of pickle this weekend

We have been waiting in excitement to see her facial expression after her first taste of pickle. We were disappointed that we didn't get he reaction that we thought we would. She actually liked it.

She still will not roll from her Back to her Belly for me. When I walk out of the room she does it. I have sat and watched her for an hour and never once has she rolled to her belly for me. On Friday she played Hide and go Seek with mom. Mom was reading the paper and looked over and Bree was hiding under the couch. All she could see was an arm and a leg sticking out. She was so concerned about getting her out she never got a picture.

Tommy's Graduation

Yesterday My Brother Tommy graduated from Cheasaning High School. Mark Breanna and myself went to the ceremony.
When I added this picture to the slide show it kept cutting Bree off. Here are some pictures from last night.

Outdoor Fun

Now that it's finally warm out we have been enjoying the fresh air. We go for walks all the time. Breanna got this play pen as a gift from Dale and Wendy a couple of weeks ago and we finally made good use out of it. If you are unable to read her shirt it says " When God made me He was just showing off" Mom picked that up for her and I thought it was so cute. Well we are off to Tommy's Graduation so look forward to more pictures soon !

Grandpa's Girl

Breanna is smitten with Men Daddy, Uncle Eric and Grandpa are her favorites Daddy of course is her number one guy but she is clearly a Grandpa's Girl. She loves to make faces at him and reach out for him. Dad and Jackie rode the Bike over so Breanna got a picture with Grandpa on it. She was too busy looking at Dad and the shinny Bike to look at me.

Mother's Day !

This being my First Mother's Day was different then most. Normally I go to my mom's and help her plant flowers or do some sort of yard work and Mark goes to his mom's and cooks lunch and does some sort of work around the house for her. This Year we had a cook out at my Mom's and Sue Joined us.My mother in law has been coming to my mom's for all the gatherings and I really enjoy it. It saves the running between both places and we enjoy her company. We had a nice time and I was able to finally get a picture of Mom and Breanna together. I want to take a picture with Grandma, Mom, Myself and Bree ,but it never happens. I also got a shot of Mom's 3 granddaughters together.

Happy Mother's Day everyone

Breanna's 5 months old

My Baby Girl is 5 months old...It's so hard to believe that 22 weeks have went by since she came into this world. Let me see if I can update you on her progress developmentally.She had been working on rolling over and is getting better and better. Last night she rolled on to her belly twice in her sleep. When I noticed I roller her back on her back and to her tummy she went again.She slept really good on her tummy. I was just nervous. She can sit by herself for only a few seconds before she reaches for a toy and turns herself into a pretzel. Yesterday while she was in her tub she was sitting up and playing with her rubber ducky. It was so cute, but the pictures didn't turn out. She has discovered how to squeal and is perfecting it every day. I keep checking on her because I think she is hurt and she just Smiles. We did get a Jumperoo and boy does she love it. Between the exersaucer and the Jumperoo she keeps herself busy. She is working on some teeth. I could really see a nice bump on the bottom, but now it's went down or the rest has swollen to match. She loves to chew on everything. It kind of reminds me of when Tippy was a puppy with all her drool. Pulling hair is one of her favorite things to do. She has been pulling you into her for kisses and to snuggle. It is so precious. We Enjoy her so much ! When Mark leaves or leans in to give me a kiss she opens her mouth and looks at him waiting for hers. It's funny some times she will slime your check when she turns in to kiss you. She has been learning so much it's hard to remember everything. She has now officially ate every kind of baby food except Prunes. She is getting really good at eating food. Messy but good.

Updating Everyone !

I haven't blogged in a while so I thought I would try my best to get everyone caught up. Breanna had her 4 month check up on the 23rd. She weighed in at 16 lbs 8 oz and is 25 3/4 inches long. She has grown alot in the 19 weeks since her birth. Normally I don't care for the Dr. much. I always felt like I was on trial when I went in there. (Mark went with us once and said I was over reacting.) This time I actually liked him. I think it's all depends on my insecurity's as a mother. He said she is doing great Mentally and physically! Of course I was pleased.
She rolls around in circles and will flip from her back to her side then her stomach but she hasn't mastered how to do it all the time. She still struggles.
She is starting to lean in towards the person she wants to pick her up. Mark changed his shift and last week in the evenings when he was here she always wanted him to hold her. When he holds her she gets this look on her face. On Saturday we went and visited My friend Ashley and her kids. Monty was born 4 days before Breanna and we like to take pictures when they get together.He has such a nice complexion and I would love if Breanna had half that hair. I thought her hair was growing so good until she is in a picture with him.
They were holding hands before this picture. While we were visiting Bree got the opportunity to check out a new toy that she fell in love with. NOW I'm going to hunt Garage sales for a Jump a roo. Oh Sunday we had our first BBQ and I discovered yet another item I need to by a Pack N Play. So I'm on the hunt to see what I can find.

No More Green Beans !

Breanna has started to eat Baby Food this week. She has been eating cereal for a little while and it was time to start on the food. Green Beans was her first to try !

Shelby and Breanna

Shelby is helping her Baby cousin. She kept putting Bree's Paci in Bree's mouth then Shelby would put her Binki in her mouth. Then take Bree's out and take hers out. It was so funny watching her.

Bree started Grabbing Shelby !

Shelby was unsure of her,but Bree's got a good grip on her shirt.

I tried to make these pictures bigger, but haven't had any luck. Sorry they are so small.

Breanna's 1st Easter

We had Our 1st Easter at Mom's on Saturday. I took Breanna around the house to try out find where the Easter Bunny hid her Basket. When I found it she grabbed right a hold of the handle and didn't want to let go. We had Easter morning at our house then went to Mark's brothers in the afternoon. We had a busy weekend and had lots of fun.

Thunder Butt is growing !

Breanna and her cousins !

As many of you know Sunday is ALWAYS Family day for us.I see my family either during the week or on Saturdays. Sunday's we usually spend the day at Mark's mom's,but last Sunday we went to Dave's house. (Mark's Brother) When it was time to feed Bree her bottle Taylor wanted to help. When she started feeding her Shelby decided she wanted to get a closer look. I had the camera in the bag so I took the opportunity to snap this.
