Here's the news with us...

Well life around here is going so fast… It has been so fun just watching Brody grow. It seems that daily he changes and gets bigger. He is developing a great personality, and loves to be around people and be the center of attention. He really just rolls with the punches, and enjoys life. Unless he is hungry and then every thing has to stop and he thinks he is going to die if he doesn’t get food in his belly FAST!!! I did find out that Brody can sit through the entire movie A Bugs Life. He was calm the entire way through. Brody at just 2 ½ months likes to sit in front of the TV, oh so sad. He is always doing things that just make me laugh.

Mike transferred to a satellite facility that is only 5 minutes away from home. He is really enjoying it. He gets along so well with the staff he works with at the new facility and enjoys going to work. He is much happier there and I’m so glad. And he gets to come home for lunch so Brody and I like that part of it. He will also be taking a couple of night classes that will also keep him busy.

I am just enjoying being with Brody. School starts for Mike and I next week, and we can’t wait. Really I’m not ready at ALL. It is a little scary thinking of all of the things that I have to do now. It is one thing to go to school and have all that fun stuff, now there is a family on top of that. It will be lots of work. I just remember that there have been many people before me that have done the same thing. I’m not alone out there.

We are all doing well and love all of the new adventures that we have had and can’t wait to have more!!!!

Look who is going to be the next Olympian...

Sorry about the bad video it's off of my phone. It was just so darn cute! Well Brody just absolutly loves the bath. He could stay in the tub for hours, he gets upset when I take him out, he could be turning purple and still get mad when I take him out. I'm even teaching him "on your marks, get set, GO". Right now he just loves the clapping and cheering him on. So look out everyone here comes the next Michael Phelps....

Fun Stuff!!!

We have a cute kid!!!

The Blessing

On July 6, 2008 Brody was blessed. It was awesome to have all of our friends and family together. It was pretty sweet that with everyone that came we filled up over half of our chapel. We doubled the amount of people in our ward that Sunday. Brody was so very cute in his blessing outfit. And he stayed warm in his blessing blanket that my mother made. Thanks Grandma Linda. We enjoyed spending time with everyone that came.

Mike gave a very special blessing and know he was inspired to say all that he did. Brody is a great child and we just love him so much. Thanks to all that came and supported us on this very special day of ours. WE LOVE Y'ALL!!!!!

The 4th PARTY!!!!

Well on the 4th of July many of my family was in town, mainly because they came for Brody's baby blessing, but none the less they were here and we had lots of fun. The whole family met at Aunt Myrna's and Uncle Mariano's house to have a fun BBQ and fireworks. It is always fun to get together when ever possible. Thank goodness for Myrna and Mariano and them opening up their home to have the get together. There was no way everyone could fit in our apartment. Keeping the guys busy practicing their putting...
Isabelle is practicing too!!!

The cooking of the food!!!

I just had to put this one Janette looks sooooo CUTE!!!

Dinner time! Yummy!!!!

A month later with Brody...

It has been a month now and I think we are finally getting into a routine with Brody. It was a rocky start there for a little bit but it is getting much better. He is slowly gaining his weight back, just not as he should be. He is a month old and is not back to his birth weight yet, which he should be. He should be gaining about an ounce a day, he is not doing that. He has been at 7lbs 12oz for about a week. So we are now using a formula chaser after I feed him, we hope this will help him to gain the weight that he needs to. We just have to go in each week to check his weight and make sure he is gaining.

We are really excited that he is a very alert baby; he loves to just look at anyone who talks to him. He smiles and sounds like he is beginning to giggle. I know people say that smiling is because of gas, but I say it is because he loves me. So really I’ll take his smiles no matter what, if they are gas or not.

We just love having him here with us, so we can kiss and hug him when ever we want!!!! Enjoy the pictures of our sweet baby Brody. We certainly do…

Fun with Family...

I can sit cross legged just like Uncle Mariano.
