Earrings & Cowboy Boots!

FINALLY Brinley's ears are PIERCED!!! She looks so friggen CUTE :)...still looks like a boy...but now a little more GIRLIE LOL...This is a picture of her right after...you can see her little tear...and I quickly threw a bottle in he mouth...and she was over it! :)... Easton has been wanting to wear these cowboy boots FOREVER...and finally...they FIT! So...they were mine when I went for a visit out west I got them...I was 3 :)...he wore them ALL afternoon and evening and I had to pry them off to put him to bed! All I heard all day was click click click on the hardwood floor haha...

10 Year High School Reunion

So this past weekend was our Class of 99 reunion. Friday night we went to Battle Island for an adults only night. Saturday was family day at Thunder Island. Let's just say on Sat. I sweated my butt off...I wore a sweatshirt with a white see-through tank top underneath...and then realized how dumb it was after I got there...I couldn't take my sweatshirt off! Ugh...so that wasn't too fun. I think Jimmy and I held the record for most kids LOL... Job update: I've decided to teach 1/2 day in the fall. I will work from 9-11:30 and then be DONE! So..it's not bad at all...the salary had increased some, but I'm still taking a big cut..ugh...then I think of how grateful I am to have a 1/2 day position and that I get to spend more time with my kids before they are all in school. This is what I want..I don't want to stay at home full-time...but I think working a little will be the perfect balance! Something was meant to be here! So I'm excited and happy with that and who knows what next year will bring :)

Fun at the lake house

We went to my Aunt and Uncle's lake house...actually their permanent house...LOL...so I'm not sure why we still say lake house..but we do haha..the boys had fun playing with Rileigh, Tyler & Kaylee all day..although I didn't get a pic of them together...oh Nate & Jimmy took Tristan out in the little boat...I can't believe they didn't tip that thing over! Can you tell Jimmy never goes outside...what a pale ghost! haha

Brinley Girl..."chubs"

So she went for her first check-up since I missed the 2 mos. she was just over 4 months...14lbs. 2oz. and 24.5 inches...no earrings YET...I didn't do the dtap..she's going in Aug. for that...then the earrings will be next :) and YES she still looks like a boy..so I have to make sure she's in something pink at all times and a head band too lol...but then again..most babies don't look like girls until they are older..right? ;)

Slacker...:)

I've for sure been slacking on the blog lately...I just hate waiting to upload photos...ugh...oh well...so as you can see our "little" Brinley is now turning into a pork shop...like Easton....her rolls are getting bigger...and yes...they hang over her "skinny" jeans haha...we love her though...she's going in for her 2 & 4 month shots tomorrow....I've slacked a bit on them..really just waiting for her to get older to get them...now that I've read up on immunizations after 3 kids....it's scary! So...tomorrow will be her first "weigh in" and then we are immediatly heading to the mall to get her some earrings!!!!!! I've been dying to get them pierced but wanted to wait til her dpt shot...yay! AND notice her adorable car seat cover...I wish I had it whn I first brought her home from the hospital...but she's still got some time to fit in it so I can show it off...thanks Holly!!! You so rock! AND our house is still NOT done..ugh again...it's a work in progress.....the siding is a SLOW process...our sidewalk is being put in next week....which means we can finally put our new front door on and actually do some landscaping instead of a mud pit!!! So excited about that! Although the house is friggen ugly and not what we pictured...but that can be changed by adding another story and some pitces I guess haha...after I hit the lotto that I don't play that is....AND I begged and begged Jimmy to do a mulch area for the kids toys because they were too much of a hassle to move everytime we mowed the grass....it's not perfect OR angled right...but A+ for effort to my hubby...and it works and looks cute out there! So that's all I have for now...other than I'm going absolutely nutso being off from work....my boys are crazy..into everything...fighting...eating ALL day...which makes ME eat all day...ahh...and Brinley just wants attention...that I don't feel like giving her because I'm searching the net all day and lounging...but I will get it together at some point...;)
