FaMilLy PiCtUrEs

 We had family pictures done with Kip's family by none other than the talented Jacey Jordan...they turned out fabulous as you can see for yourself!!

2 MoNtHs

Wow my baby is 2 months old already!!  At her 2 month check-up she was 22 inches long & 11 lbs 12 oz ( I don't think that is accurate though because she was not happy about laying there & I have weighed her a few times at home & she has consistently weighed 11 lbs 4 oz.)  She handled her shots like a trooper, she was more mad that I put her down than she was that she got 3 shots!!  She is so smiley now & such a joy in our lives.  She is a terrible sleeper & I am hoping that one of these days that will change, but regardless she is SO much FUN!!

Briele's 1st sleepover

Briele had her 1st sleepover with her cute cousin Charly.  They were both in bed by 10:30 which was an improvement from the night before when I wasn't able to get just Briele in bed until almost midnight!  The next day we went to lunch at Maddox & went to visit Charly's cute sister Jordyn in the hospital.  It was lots of fun & we can't wait til next time when hopefully Jordyn can join us.

Nursery

This is the nursery I have been saying I would post forever.  I am getting pictures printed for above the crib & have added some pillows that my mother-in-law made out of the extra fabric from the curtains. I have also put a few more decorations on the shelf.  The crib we bought but everything else has come from someone special in her life.  The rocking chair was given to my mom by my dad when I was born, the dresser given to me by my grandparents on the Winn side.  Kip's grandpa made the shelf, the baby shoes hanging from it were Briele's great grandma Catherine's whom she got her middle name from.  The necklace was a great great grandma's & the lamb was Kip's when he was little.  The bow holder I made & it was filled beyond capacity by her cute aunts!!  Oh & don't forget the cute puppy who was there every step of the way while getting this room ready for Briele & had the caulk in his tail to prove just how much he "helped."

Out with the old, in with the new

I blame it on the hormonal imbalance I was experiencing after having a baby but I finally caved & let Kip put our truck up for sale.  Honestly I never really thought it would sell, & for what we wanted to get out of it.  Needless to say after 3 hours on ksl it had sold!! The hormones once again took over & the tears came, I was a little emotionally attached to that truck to say the least. Anyone that knows Kip knows that once he is on a mission he does not stop til its finished. 

He found this beauty of a truck which we are now the proud owners of. We will see what he thinks he needs next!!!

newborn pictures

I am in LOVE with this girl!!  She was actually really good for the most part while we got these pictures.  There were a few *incidents* per say.  She peed on a few things,  & pooped on a few things including in my hand!!  She is SO beautiful & I am so thankful that we were able to capture that in these photos.  They were taken by the talented Jacey Jordan of Jacey Jordan Photography. If you are wanting to get pictures done check her out.  She is super talented, super sweet & very reasonably priced!!  Thanks again Jacey!  I think I may wallpaper my house with pictures of my sweet babe!! 

1 month

I can't believe that my baby girl is already a month old!! Being a mom is the most fun & exhausting thing ever!!  Briele has gotten so big over the last month.  Its quite the fight getting her to go to bed at night but once she goes to sleep she will sleep for about 6 hours before waking up to eat.  She has us wrapped around her finger already.  We love you Briele & are so excited to watch you grow & learn.
