Twins-ies

So I decided to paint Breagan's toenails. It was a challenge, but they look so dang cute! Then I painted mine to match hers. It's too fun having a little girl! :)

Is it really T H A T hard??

Is it really that hard to not be an idiot when one drives?? Apparently common sense has taken a break when it comes to navigating an automobile. Here's my PSA for the day: If you are going to be retarded, stay off the road. Don't pull out in front of me in your piece of crap Metro and then drive 5 mph. Seriously.

A thanks for my Chan

Today has been one of those days. The days that you don't have a bath until almost noon and you can't remember if you've brushed your teeth... Yeah, one of those days. Breagan had shots yesterday and she didn't do as well as she did the last time. We were up from 2:30 on and off until about 7:00 am.

But I'm not complaining about that. I felt VERY bad for my little angel and I would stay up all day and night for however long just to comfort her. The one thing that I have thought about most of the day was, 'what if I would have had to go to work today?' I am SO lucky that I am able to stay home and take care of Breag. Chandler works so hard so that I am able to stay home. I don't know if he knows how much I appreciate that. I just want to let him know that his hard work does not go unnoticed. Running a family business is less than fabulous to say the least. Lots of work with very little thanks at the end of the day. But Breagan and I DO notice how hard he works and we just want to tell him that we love him and appreciate the hard worker that he is!

On super happy note, the guys at Barrett's will be getting a FULL Saturday off each month from now on! YAY! I have no idea what we are going to do with ourselves! An actual weekend??? Holy Crap! :)

P.S. I almost forgot. Chandler is such a sweet guy that he offered to have leftovers just so I wouldn't have to cook dinner tonight. I don't think a man can get any sweeter than that!

I, for some reason, felt responsible to give you your PSA for this morning. (Apparently I've had a lot on my mind! :)

* DO NOT buy Huggies diapers. They get even a little bit wet and they smell something F I E R C E.

* If you drive slow, DO NOT drive in the fast lane. It's called 'lane courtesy' thank you!

*Western Family body wash works just as well as Oil of Olay and is half the price. I L.O.V.E it!

*Ann Coulter is AWESOME. Geraldo Rivera asked her where her facts were about a topic and she asked him where his 'facts' were when he did most of his breaking news stories. Anyone who will call Geraldo out for being a dumb ass has my vote! :)

*My computer is a wide screen so the setup of my blog looks different to me than it does to someone with a normal sized screen. I apologize for this misunderstanding.

*If you aren't going to tell someone how cute/darling/beautiful their kid is, don't bother saying anything at all. Don't say anything even remotely negative. PERIOD.

*GMC got it right when they made the Acadia. Don't believe me? Go drive one. You'll instantly fall in love.

I think this is all that I have for this morning. Keep checking because I may have some more later on!

First Family Vacation

About a month ago, Chandler and I decided that it was time to get out of town. We hadn't been on a vacation since San Fran last year, and we thought it would be fun to take Breag on her first vacation.

Since we were so in love with San Fran, we decided it was be great to go back to the Pacific North West. We went further north this time and went to see the Redwood Forest. It was so amazing! You know that those trees are big, but you seriously cannot comprehend their size until you see them. It was so beautiful and green. And the weather was absolutely P E R F E C T. While you were here in the 106 degree heat, it was a balmy 65 degrees in northern Cali. It was heaven! Here are some pictures for our first vacay as a family:

As we were driving through the mountains to California, we came upon this. In a place, where if it were in Utah there would be multi-million dollar homes, there is this. No, your eyes are not deceiving you, it is a CHEETAH TRUCK. Wow. There are no words.

Breagan in the forest. She was so intringued with the trees and being outside. Mom doesn't like being outside so she doesn't get out much! I think she really enjoyed it!

Breagan LOVED the aquarium! It was so much fun to watch her! I think I enjoyed that more than the fish themselves! We had a fun time and a nice lunch. Again, she was an angel!

We had a great time! I will post more pictures later. I seriously took 252 pics so it's hard to put all the ones on here that I want to!

Wow... It's been a month!?!?!

So I have always been the type that gets kind of irritated when people don't update their blogs, like, why do you even have one?? Well, I guess what goes around comes around and now I'M the one not updating my blog! To be fair to myself though, I do have a busy 4 month old and a hubby that I am taking care of!

Breagan is doing SO well! Her personality has started to come out and I am loving every second of it! She's such an amazing little girl! She is so smart already! (Okay, okay, so I am a little bit bias, but I really believe that she is!) She is sleeping through the night, which is so great. She wakes up about 6 when Chan gets up to get ready for work and that's when the fun really begins! She L.O.V.E.S. her daddy. She has started squealing when he talks to her and she laughs and just stares at him in amazement. It's the funnest thing to watch! They have such a cute bond. She also has found her hands. Anytime that her bottle isn't in her mouth they seem to make their way there.

She has also discovered the F I N E art of SpongeBob. She is completely fascinated by him. And just an F . Y . I . if you have Direct t.v. you can find him on one of the channels at pretty much any time of day. She has a portable dvd player that goes with us in the car and she watches it the whole time and doesn't even make a peep! Her Aunt Brinley forgot to turn it on when we got in yesterday and Breagan was sure to let her know that SpongeBob was not playing and she needed to watch it! She was very upset until Brinley figured out what she wanted!

We also had a pretty good 4th of July this year. Breagan did very well the whole day until after the parade. She was pretty worn out by then and we came home and both took a bath and then just hung out until the fireworks. We then went up on the hill to watch Chandler shoot fireworks. I was actually the only one watching because she slept through the whole thing! I have no idea how she slept because we were right there by the firemen shooting the fireworks and it was really loud. But she never even stirred the whole time so I guess that was a good thing! Maybe she won't be petrified of fireworks like her momma! :) I sat in the back seat with her just in case she woke up during the middle of the show so I could take care of her. I didn't think that I was going to be able to see too well, but the skylight in the back of the Acadia proved to be AWESOME! I had a front row seat to some of the best fireworks that I've ever seen! Great job Salina Firemen! I also have to give a shoutout to Kenny Ball for ordering them! Well done!

And of course the weather looked like this, but do you think we could get any rain to cool things off?? Of course NOT. I guess that's what you get when you live in Utah. I just have to keep telling myself, 'Only 3 or so more months of this crap and then we'll have

S N O W!'

So that's mostly what we have been doing. Nothing too exciting! Things are going great though and we are enjoying every minute of having this special little girl in our lives!
