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!

Breagan's Blessing and some random pics

On Sunday June 14, we had Breagan blessed. Chandler did the blessing and he did an amazing job!!! I didn't get a lot of pictures because Breagan slept a lot of the day, but the few that I did get turned out really cute!

Breagan has been growing like crazy lately! We weighed her on Saturday and she is just short of 11 lbs! Who would have believed that she would actually get that big!?! Since she's getting bigger, she actually has clothes to wear! So we've been having fun this week choosing out different outfits that finally fit! YAY!

Breagan also went on her first Jeep ride a couple of weeks ago. It was quite an adventure! It wasn't her that we had the problems with though! She was asleep before we had even taken her out to the Jeep! The fun part was getting her big carseat into to the back of Chan's tiny Jeep. It wasn't quite as hard as we thought it would be, but I'm sure that it was quite a sight! The pictures don't give the whole effect, but the carseat was pretty snug in the backseat!

Happy Father's Day

I just wanted to wish the Dad's in our life a Happy Father's Day. This is obviously Chan's first one, and I just want to tell him how much we love and appreciate him. He is such a great dad and husband. He works so hard everyday so that we can live comfortably and so that I can stay home and take care of Breagan. He is so patient with me, especially the last little while. I don't know what I would do without his love and support. I seriously cannot say enough good things about him!! Breagan and I love you SO much and we hope you have a great first Father's Day!

Just a shout out for the 'Shark Steam Mop'

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

That is the only way to sum up this sweet little item!

So for Mother's Day Chan bought me a Shark Steam mop. I had been watching infomercials forever about it and I knew I just had to have one. (I know, a very strange thing to want, but I guess that's what happens when you get 'old'!!) I was kinda worried about it just because you never know what you're getting when you buy things off the television. Well I just have to say that it is the most awesome thing ever!!! If you have tile, you seriously need it. We have tons of tile in our house, so I'm loving every second of it! Thank you Chan for the awesome Mother's Day gift!!!

Our Baby Breagan

So I couldn't go and make a post about our new car without posting some pics of my baby Breagan too!

She finally got over her sickness. She's doing well and gaining weight now. Last Wednesday she weighed 8 lbs. 15 oz!! She's smiling a lot now, especially at her daddy! Chandler and Breagan have their time at night when Chan talks to her and she intently listens and smiles at him. It's so cute! I also started giving her some cereal in her bottle today. YES, I know, giving a 2 1/2 month old cereal is a no-no, but if you'd been through what I have in the past 2 weeks, you would have done the same thing! She has VERY bad reflux and spits up really bad every time she eats. All we really have gotten done is eating, spitting up, bathing, and doing laundry. And I am proud to announce that she hasn't hardly spit up all day. Looks like my mother's instincts turned out to be right! :) Never underestimate the power of rice cereal!

Do not ask me how she accomplished this, but I sat her in her carseat so I could start dinner and she started screaming and I walked back in on this! She's such a sweet little girl most of the time, but this was NOT one of those times!

What is it about the SUMMER...

That makes you want to buy a new car??? If you know Chandler and I, you know that we are completely OBSESSED with cars. When we bought my Mercedes, we thought that we would keep it for a long time. It was the S.W.E.E.T.E.S.T. ride ever! Definitely my favorite car I've ever owned. Well, the time finally came that we had to give in and sell the Benz. Yes, I had to sell my baby. (Insert crying from me here)

Since Breagan was born, it seriously has taken an act of congress just to get that carseat in and out of the backseat of my car. And as for having others go with us, FORGET IT.

So last Wednesday we made the long drive to South Jordan and, and after much sadness of seeing my Mercedes drive away, this is what we came home with:

It's not a Benz, but believe me, it's a VERY nice car. :) It's an 07' GMC Acadia. It drives great, has a moonroof and a skylight, a navigation system, and a lot of other stuff! I've been mourning the loss of the Benz for days now, but my mom keeps telling me that I have to grow up sometime, and I think she's right. At least I'll be growing up in style though!

The Benz will be forever in our hearts. ;)

What a week...

So the past week and a half has been, how do I put it lightly, C.R.A.Z.Y.! Baby Breagan has been sick and we can't figure out what it is. We thought maybe it was her milk, like maybe she was lactose intolerant, but we've switched her formula 100 times (**Okay, maybe that is a slight exaggeration, but it totally feels like it!) and nothing seems to be working. All of her tests came back negative, so hopefully this is just something that will clear itsself up! I feel so bad for her! I think that she's getting a little bit better, so that is good! And then on Saturday Hailey got married and it was so Beautiful! She looked so great and we love her so much and wish her and Cody the best! I didn't take very many pictures :( which really surprises me cause I'm usually the one with the camera in everyone's face! I think that I was more preoccupied with Chan and Breagan that I just forgot about it!

But all in all, it has been a pretty good week. It's good to have the wedding stress over with and now we are focusing on Breagan's blessing. I bought her the CUTEST blessing dress in the mall. I will have pictures up of it soon!

Here's me at the temple waiting for Hailey and Cody. It was such a nice day!

Cody and Hailey right after they got married. They are so cute!

Okay, if this isn't the cutest picture EVER, then I don't know what is! :)

I also really like this picture! Hailey and Breagan look so G.O.O.D.
