Brody is 4 months and

So excited to eat!
Ok what's this?!
I'm not so sure about this stuff!
Still not sure! That wasn't too bad!

OMG! I cant believe my baby is already 4 months!! We went to his check-up on Monday and he weighs almost 15 lbs and is 25 inches long! The dr. told me to go ahead and start feeding him cereal for a couple of weeks then gradually work in baby food b/c he eats like a champ! Here are some pictures of our first cereal experience...soooo cute!

Stressful Craziness

A lot has been going on since I last updated! First of all, we had a great 4th of July...We hung out with Abby and her hubby Danny and almost blew up the neighborhood! It was a blast!

Josh went back to work @ a dealership on July 1st and let me tell you it has taken some major adjusting! Josh had been working from home since Briley was about 16/17 months so he was here to help out a lot and I had never been alone a whole lot all day long with the 2 kids since Brody had been born. And the first 2 weeks were HORRIBLE!!! Briley embarrassed me sooo bad one day out in public throwing herself in the floor and throwing temper tantrums I said I would never leave the house again!!! My mom offered to take her with them to AL last weekend and visit my grandparents and after the couple of weeks I had I said please take her! I was very relieved to have that break but I was sad too b/c she has never been anywhere by herself without us for the whole weekend. But it worked out perfectly b/c she had a little cousin the same age as her that was visiting my grandparents also so she had a playmate, I got the house spotless and organized some stuff for vacation, and did a little shopping (which was soooo much easier with 1 child)! This week has been going a lot better and I hope it stays that way!

Now we are just counting down the days till vacation in DESTIN!! We are sooo anxious and we are going to leave about 4 am on Sat. so we are excited about that. Im sure I will have plenty of pictures and fun stories from our trip when I get back!

Me and mom's photo session!

LOL...Mom bought the kids matching outfits for the 4th and on Sunday we took some cute pics of them to send to my grandmother so she would get them by the 4th. Brody is sooo photogentic...you can get him to smile @ the drop of a dime. And after looking @ the pics we took of Briley by herself I cant believe how grown she looks!!! Hope you enjoy the pics.

Summer Distractions

Wow! We have been busy and I havent really had the time to post a new blog. We have been having a blast this summer. Josh is just working in Johnson City on most weekends (but he has been home a few) and we have been swimming and doing fun stuff during the week while he is home! Briley is our little fish and LOVES to go swimming and wants to go EVERY DAY. She looks like a little mexican. Brody is such a sweet little guy...he is just a happy little baby. Josh is going to make a decision on which of the many job offers he has on what to do next week. He has been waiting it out to see if the bank he was working for could get everything worked out by July (which is what they originally told him) and now they are saying mid-August. So in the meantime he is going to take a job soon. The best opportunity is unfortunately in Johnson City so he may do that and just travel back and forth for a few months and then decide if it is the best opportunity for our family, but there are some considerations that are local. We will def. think this through for a while before we make any final decisions. Well Im off to get ready for my MNO wine-tasting....so excited for a night out with the girls. Here are a few pics Ive taken over the last little while.

MNO Luau!

Summer Fun and Luau Party!

There is nothing like spending a fun-filled day outside with your kiddos and then having a MNO with all of your best mommy friends :) Enjoy the pictures!

Productive Day!

Ok this is Josh's first weekend working out of town so I have decided to be productive to keep myself busy b/c I cant stand being home by myself. I cleaned the house spotless today, did tons of laundry, and organized some stuff. Even after doing all that I found some time to do some fun things with Briley...we played outside, ate ice cream twice, painted our toenails and watch the Bee movie! It was a pretty fun day :)
