Growing up....

Now you see it...

Now you don't!

I finally gave in and put Breagan's pack-n-play away. She is now officially in her own room. Yes, the first night I layed in bed and cried, but things are going a lot better now! I'm still not loving it and have highly considered putting it back up more than once, but I have been strong.

Breagan also went to her first Volleyball game to watch Aunt Brinley cheer. She didn't quite know what to think about the whole thing, but she was very good and she even managed to squeeze in a nap!

She is starting at a young age learning how to cook. And what better teacher than dad!

Yep, she's our celebrity rockstar.

And since I know you were all concerned, JoJo is still alive and well and just as naughty as ever. (As you can see from the massive amounts of leaves, dirt, etc. on her!)

Breagan has also learned to roll over! She's also eating sweet potatoes and she

L O V E S them! She has been having trouble sleeping through the night lately, but other than that, she is doing great!

Enough said....

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!
