*you have rolled over from you back to tummy now
*you have started sleeping in your own room
*you sleep on your side from time to time
*you can sit with your back straight now and not hunched over, you can't sit by yourself yet but with a boppy you do pretty good!
*you laughed outloud for the first time at a man in a cowboy had at dairy queen ha!
*you are still eating cereal and are about ready to start those greens!

This was Brielles first Easter and what a pretty day it was. I am ready for this warm weather! Here are a few pics from her big day....she made $18.00 from her easter eggs, imagine what she'll get next year when she's walking!

Birthdays and Great Date

This weekend Brielle went to her first Birthday Party. He little friend Noah turned 1, she had a good time and was very well behaved!

Oh I just love this picture! Sweet little girls!


Landon and I also FINALLY got to go on our date for the great date experiment! It was so nice getting to spend some time together. I love him so much and can't wait till we can go on even more dates when Brielle is older. We ate at Cheddars and had the waiter pick out our meals....he did such a great job!! We ate it all, we're not picky eaters though so that helped.



Then we went and played some pool. I only did good when Landon pointed out where I needed to aim!

4 Months Old

Brielle you are 4 months old....what are you up to...



Totally bored with this photo shoot

First time eating cereal!

*you turn your head towards any noise you hear and are so much more aware of your surroundings
*nursing is no longer your favorite time of day...you are much to busy for it and would rather look around to see what is happening around you
*you can almost roll over from your back to your tummy..not much longer
*you have rolled over from your tummy to your back (scared you a little ha)
*you sleep 11hours at night and take a 1hr 1/2 nap in the morning and a 2hr nap in the afternoon
*you are getting a little better at entertaining yourself
*you love to sit on our knees or on our legs when we are indian style and just move back and forth and throw your arms around
*you tried cereal for the first time and got angrey cause you couldn't get it down quick enough to satisfy you ha!

playtime and great date experiment

Me and B have been having so much fun at home now that she is so much more aware of her surrondings...today we played with her rattles and watched praise baby dvds...she really likes them but they only hold her attention for a little while. She is learning how to grab and loves to try to put her toys in her mouth. It's so cute when she finally does it cause she gets so excited as if she's getting to eat something! HAHA!






Watching her praise baby dvd...





Here is something fun I found that I want Landon and I to try. It's called the great date experiment. A church in Arkansas came up with it, I looked over the first one and sounds like soooo much fun!!! I love this kind of stuff, Landon and I have read many relationship books and go to any and every sermon series we can whether it's at our church or not so this is right up our alley. It's hard with a new baby to make time for each other and when we do it's always the same old stuff, dinner and movie (there isn't much to do in Amarillo anyways). This is the website to the church and when you get there go to search great date, and this will tell you more about it! Or go here for the first date printout. Hope you try it out with us!

work, photo shoot, birthday and superbowl

This past week was filled with may events. I started back at work but you can hardly call it that cause I'm only there Mon, wed, Fri 9 to noon. It's perfect cause I help Landon out by making a little money and I get some me time, (don't now if work is the place for that, rather be at the spa HA!) My sweet friend Tiffani sent me this super cute cookie bouquet (I didn't want to eat the cookies, they were to pretty) for my first day back, she understands that it can be hard going back becuase she has a baby boy of her own. The day went great and I'm enjoying working again, but I would never trade it for staying at home with my baby so the hours are perfect!



This past weekend was Brielle's 3 month photo shoot and we had alot of fun as always. My friend Khara and her sister do her pictures and they always do an amazing job, can't wait to see them, until the here are a couple I snuck in with my own camera....




Also this weekend we had Ashleigh's 18th birthday party and Brielle got passed around and around by the family, it was fun to get together with everyone...









We ended the weekend at Kharas for the superbowl and Briell met some new friends. I think she liked them, and she was really good too!




here she is watching the game with daddy....

Show Us Your Life Fashion Tips

Kelly's Korner show us your life this week was fashion tips, well I love clothes and love to shop but it's hard after you have a baby!! What I love now are accessories! You can where them when big and prego to make you feel pretty or just to compliment an outfit! I really like the cute headbands that are out now with the feathers and flowers and jewels. Forever 21 is one of the best places I think to find headbands, jewelery and many other things because it is cute and so cheap! Dosn't get better than that.
