Merry Christmas!!

2008-12-24T22:43:00.004-07:00

Taken two weekends ago... I just haven't had much time to post!! Brynn wasn't a fan of the "Big Guy" in person, I think this picture explains it all. ;o)

Brynn loves Santa in all other forms (stuffed, pictures, ornaments, etc.), he just really freaked her out in person. If you ask her what Santa says, she'll tell you "Ho, ho, ho"!!

Have a Merry Christmas!!

Bob - we went BPS, like you did last year!! ;o)

All I Want For Chrismas...

2008-12-23T16:33:00.004-07:00

Is a digital SLR camera.

Check out these pictures of Brynn that were taken over the weekend at a birthday party.

*** EDIT ***
I would like Photoshop too. ;o)

Instead Of Sending Out Cards...

2008-12-21T10:01:00.002-07:00

Our friend Brian rocks. He took some pictures of us that we were originally going to send out as Christmas cards.

Well, the budget is tight this year and you're probably just going to throw out the card after the holidays anyway, so we thought we'd just post this instead. (If you REALLY want the picture, you can right click on the picture and save it... or print it out and THEN throw it out after the holidays!!)

Thanks Brian!!

Sleep

2008-12-18T10:12:00.001-07:00

Brynn and I woke up at 9:40 this morning. How awesome is that?!

DANG IT!! (Take Two)

2008-12-17T21:59:00.004-07:00

Ugh. I had an annoying last five minutes at work tonight. There was a sign by the timeclock that in my mind, I read as "Due to the economy being a big piece of shit right now, you are not getting a bonus this year".

WELL, that money was going to be our "Going to Ohio", a.k.a. vacation money. So, it looks like I may not need to decide between the reunion or the fair. It may be neither.

I know you're not supposed to plan on bonuses but damn it, I'm a good employee and I work my ass off.

I know there was a lot of swearing in there but I'm frustrated. We can't seem to get ahead. We were doing great and now I'm not working for 2 1/2 weeks.

Chad told me I need to look at the positives and realize that I'm lucky. I FINALLY like what I do... and I have a job. So yeah, I'm trying to be more positive, it's just hard sometimes.

P.S. I bought a lottery ticket tonight. That would be a MAJOR positive. ;o)

DANG IT!

2008-12-16T22:05:00.002-07:00

My highschool reunion is going to be on August 1-2, 2009. That isn't Labor Day weekend.

So, what should we do?

A. Go back for the reunion and go to Cedar Point?
B. Go back around Labor Day weekend, use one less day of vacation, go to Cedar Point and go to the fair.

Those are the choices for next year. A or B?

SO PROUD!!

2008-12-15T21:39:00.002-07:00

Tonight...

We had to throw Abby Cadabby to try to get her to walk and once she did it a few times, she was a pro! We even caught her turning around for the first time in this video. Now we're in trouble...

(And yes, our living room is THAT messy at night!!)

Candy Cane

2008-12-15T21:12:00.000-07:00

Enjoying her first candy cane...

Ice Cream Treat

2008-12-13T14:37:00.004-07:00

Brynn tried her first chocolate and vanilla swirl cone today...

********* CORRECTION!!! (Thanks Michele!!) She had her first chocolate and vanilla TWIST CONE!! **********

A Few...

2008-12-11T22:25:00.003-07:00

STEPS!

BRYNN TOOK A FEW STEPS TODAY!!

Brenda called me while I was at work today and I was all worried, because she never calls. Brynn took two steps at daycare AND a few tonight at home too!!

Everyone keeps telling us that we should be thankful that she's not walking yet and that it's actually really good for her other developmental skills. Who knows.

Babies, Babies Everywhere!!

2008-12-11T21:56:00.003-07:00

* Our friends, the Blakesley's, had a baby girl on Monday. (They have a son who is 2 months younger than Brynn - yikes!!)

* For those of you who know the Deegans, they found out they're having a BOY! (Due in May)

* We probably won't find out what Ana and Keith are having until next month but I'm 99.9% convinced it's a girl!!

Jobs Schmobs

2008-12-11T21:36:00.007-07:00

It's so weird that I've only been in my new position for a month and a half. Sometimes it feels like I've been there forever. I think everything is going pretty well, one of the guys that I work with told Amber I'm doing a good job yesterday. Today, another guy told one of my bosses that I'm doing a really good job. So, that was pretty cool.

The bad thing is, that same guy who told my boss that I was doing a really good job gave me some quantities of something that I needed to order today but he accidentally gave me a number that ended up being about $5,000 more than what it should have been. I ordered the items and then realized afterwards that it was wrong. Luckily, I caught it in time and got it fixed. So, technically, um, maybe, I saved the company $5,000 today? Ok, not really, I shouldn't have trusted what the guy said anyway... but it was a nice thought.

We're supposed to be closed from 12/18 through 1/4 for the holidays. Well, normally, that would be awesome but I don't get paid for the time off. I think it's pretty shitty that they're doing that, really. The good thing is that I think we're actually going to be busier than what they thought, so I might be able to come in a few days. I HOPE.

Chad's going to be off work the week of Christmas and all of the following week, except for one day, ON VACATION. His company is awesome. He gets 3 weeks of vacation and 5 sick days. PLUS, 5 personal days (unpaid days off) if he wants them. I'm jealous.

Thanksgiving - A Little Late

2008-12-08T21:53:00.006-07:00

I'm behind on everything this month.

We went to California this year for Thanksgiving. This trip, we stayed with Chad's sister Ana and her boyfriend Keith. We had a lot of fun and it actually ended up being a pretty relaxing trip, I think because we had a few more days than what we normally would have. We gave Ana and Keith lots of tips (I'm sure it was a lot more than what they wanted to hear), Ana is pregnant and is due on June 2nd!! We're excited for them, they'll be great parents. Brynn really had a fun time with "Uncle Keith". We're hoping they're going to have a girl, we have plenty of stuff to let them borrow!!

Chad's youngest sister Jami also came home from a two-month trip on her ship the day before we got there. We were really bummed that we weren't able to be there to see them pull in to San Diego (Chad was off work that week, but I wasn't). We did see lots of pictures though, it looked really cool. I got a text message from Jami shortly after she saw everyone and it said "You knew Ana was pregnant and you didn't tell me?!". ;o) I didn't want to ruin Ana's surprise!!

On Thanksgiving Day, we went to Chad's parents' house for a nice meal!! Thanks for everything Jody, Ana and Keith!!

The day after Thanksgiving, Chad, Brynn, Ana and I headed to Big Lots and Toys-R-Us to see if we could find some deals. We didn't get what we wanted at Big Lots (that's what happens when you don't get up super early in the morning, everything is gone!) and we didn't really have anything that we wanted to get from Toys-R-Us but we ended up coming home with a big box... you'll see what it was in a few weeks!!

Here are a few of the pictures from our trip (I have several other posts to do from when we were there!!):

From left to right: Jami, Keith, Ana, Jody, Mike, Me, Chad and Brynn, of course!!

Brunch With GGMa and GGPa

2008-12-07T20:17:00.003-07:00

GGMa and GGPa have been traveling since May and they just returned home a few weeks ago. We caught up with them just after they got back. Here are a few pictures!! (Brynn gave GGPa LOTS of kisses!!!)

16 Months!!

2008-12-07T19:21:00.004-07:00

I'm REALLY late on posting this one.

Brynn, you are talking like crazy. We really have to watch what we say around you now because you try to repeat everything!! Some of the things you say are hi (HA!), bye (BAH!), no, more, more drink (sometimes you combine more and drink to say "mork"), milk, dog, doggie, kitty cat, dada, mama, baby, thank you, bird, birdie, car, bug, da da's bug, donut, socks, shoes, pants (pats), gramma, nana (Chad's sister Ana), Bri (sounds like BEEEEEE) and more that I can't think of right now.

You know what Santa says (Ho, ho, ho) - I need to get that one on video!!

You have stood up by yourself several times but still don't want to walk without holding on to something. You love your walking toys though. When you're ready, you'll do it!!

Here are a few pictures that we took throughout the month:

Our Blog Is Moving!!

2008-12-06T14:30:00.002-07:00

On January 1, 2009, we are hoping to move our blog to www.abc-west.blogspot.com. I wanted to use abcwest but that was already taken. If you want to keep reading, make a note of the new site!!

Arizona State Fair

2008-12-06T13:47:00.004-07:00

Back in OCTOBER, we took Brynn to the Arizona State Fair. My hometown of Wooster, Ohio holds the largest junior county fair in the state. It's a huge deal back there and the kids even get a day off of school and free admission!! I really wanted to take Brynn so that she could see all of the animals. Well, the fair wasn't what I expected, I was pretty disappointed actually. Oh well.

ON A SIDE NOTE... In 2009, I will have my 10 year class reunion. We're trying to figure out when to hold it and I'm hoping that people will vote for Labor Day weekend. That way, one weekend we can do the whole reunion thing, then we can go to the Wayne County Fair, and then we can go to Cedar Point the next weekend. SO IF YOU ARE READING THIS AND YOU ARE IN MY CLASS, PLEASE VOTE FOR LABOR DAY WEEKEND TO HOLD THE REUNION - IT WILL MAKE ME SUPER HAPPY!!

Ok, back to the Arizona State Fair. It was pretty hot outside and REALLY overcrowded. There wasn't a whole lot to see and the food wasn't that great. Basically, the only choices we had were burgers and jumbo sized corn dogs. Oh and fries. BUT not the normal fair fries, they were seasoned. Hmph. They didn't even have vinegar. I think you get my point... I'm glad we didn't have to pay to get in!!

Here are some pictures though, Brynn liked the animals (one of the goats tried to eat her shirt off of her belly!) and the fries.

She's Going To Hate Me For This...

2008-12-05T22:05:00.004-07:00

We really did take those first two pictures in that order!!

Here is one with Brynn making her "serious" face.

Big Girl!

2008-12-03T21:30:00.003-07:00

No Time!!

2008-12-02T22:37:00.002-07:00

Holy cow, I have no time to blog!!

Quick highlights of this week (and posts to come when I have time):

* Thanksgiving in California
* Brynn's amazing vocabulary (boy, can she talk... and talk... and talk...)
* Christmas tree is up and lights are on it, hopefully ornaments are tomorrow
* Found out I am off work from 12/18 to 1/5 - Holy cow!
* Chad is off work for almost as long as I am for the holidays!
* Trying to help organize some things for my 10 year high school reunion (IN OHIO!) and we're having a heck of a time getting valid e-mail addresses
* Brynn FINALLY stood up by herself for about 10 seconds tonight without realizing it (Um, yeah, she's 16 months old now and I haven't had time to do a 16 month post for her yet.)

That's all I can think of right now, I'm exhausted.

One Little Monkey...

2008-11-30T23:25:00.000-07:00

Happy Thanksgiving!!

2008-11-27T19:28:00.001-07:00

... From California ...

Will post more next week!!

Sharing

2008-11-25T18:49:00.003-07:00

Brynn was sitting on the couch eating some snacks. Allie walked up to Brynn and sat down beside the couch. Brynn pointed to Allie and said "NO!". Apparently she didn't want to share...

Nice Try

2008-11-23T21:04:00.003-07:00

We attempted to take Brynn to see Madagascar 2 tonight, her first movie in the theater. We made it through a few good previews and about 20 minutes of the movie. From what we saw, it looked super cute!! Brynn was dancing like crazy and then got sleepy and bored.

We'll stick with movies at home for a while... and buy this one when it comes out on dvd!!

Nie Day At Habit Salon

2008-11-22T20:55:00.007-07:00

This morning after swimming lessons, we decided that we should probably take Brynn to get her hair trimmed. We were going to take her one of those places for kids but then I remembered that today was "Nie Day" at Habit Salon, which was right down the street. All proceeds today from 7am to 7pm were donated to helping the Nielson's. We decided that because it was such a good cause, we should go. I wasn't planning to get mine done (as you can tell, I still had my sunglasses on my head while she was trimming Brynn's hair) but we figured what the heck, why not?

Here are some pictures from our fun morning (Chad even thought it was cool!), it was a neat salon and as long as our budget permits, they've got some returning customers in the West family. I'm sure they raised quite a bit of money, they were pretty packed when we were there. They were also selling some "Nie" gear and had some raffles. We bought a ticket and won some children's books (Chad was excited, he was hoping that we'd win those for Brynn)!!

She did really great while she was getting her trim, I wasn't sure how she'd do since she's only had one other hair cut and it was by Grampie Don last year!! For whatever reason, she was super cuddly... I think she was getting sleepy!!

I'm so excited that they did this special day for the Nielson's!! Like I'm said in my previous posts, I've never met them before, I've only read articles and blogs but I think that Stephanie would really like that salon. It seems to have her sense of style, antique-y and sophisticated. Super cute. Hopefully she'll be able to make it over there sometime to check it out.

P.I.T.A.

2008-11-21T20:37:00.004-07:00

I met with a trainer last night.

My legs, hips and ass hurt.

It's a good pain. A good Pain In The Ass. Hmph.

CHEEEEEEESE!

2008-11-19T21:44:00.002-07:00

Brynn received a package from my Aunt Barb in Oregon on Saturday, Brynn loves the blanket that she sent. Can you tell?

Thanks Aunt Barb!!

Cotton Candy Ice Cream

I'd say she liked it...

Back In My Element

2008-11-13T22:00:00.003-07:00

I've been in my new position for almost three weeks now. I am going to be doing all of the purchasing and they just let someone go on Wednesday so I'll be doing all of the customer service too. I still don't know exactly what all of that means, other than I'm going to be completely swamped. Some people have been a little discouraging about me having to do all of this, just because they know it's a lot of work. They keep telling me that over and over and over and over... I am hoping to prove myself soon, so I don't have to hear it anymore. I've done customer service and been in high-stress jobs before, I'm back in my element.

So far, I think it's going pretty well. I like to know everything (no comments on that one...), so training has been a little frustrating. Once I know what I'm doing, I'll be fine.

I'm pretty excited about this position and the company. People seem to be a little bit more comfortable around me this week than they were the last two. They're opening up a little bit and being more friendly, which has made me feel better about working there. Most people kept to themselves for those first couple weeks, which I wasn't used to at all.

Little things about this company make me laugh, I think mostly because I'm used to working for large companies. For example, at Layne, I had my own printer, credit card and key to the building. At my new company, I share a printer with probably 20 other people. No credit card. No key to the building. I'll be there later than most people, but I still won't have a key. Last week, I had to leave early two days because people that had keys were leaving and I'd be locked in if I didn't leave. I just got a key to the office supply cabinet today, which seems to be a HUGE deal. I bet you're jealous, aren't you?

OH and one more weird thing... I have a camera on me all day long. Kind of creepy. It's far away and I don't know how much it zooms in but it's still weird.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I REALLY like my new position and everything is going well!! YAY!!

P.S. My friends at Layne, I miss you!! Um, and our Kokopelli Tuesdays too.

Motivated

2008-11-11T22:55:00.004-07:00

Jenn and I just signed up for a gym membership.

We went together on Saturday and Sunday... she walked in a Veteran's Day parade today with Matt and Luke... and I went to the gym tonight. The plan is for us to go to the gym tomorrow too.

I'd say we're on a roll... we just need to keep it up!! I'm excited about it because it gets us both out of the house and we're actually able to hang out and talk. Hopefully we'll both see some results. Soon.

YAY for us!!

Brynn's Spot

2008-11-11T22:19:00.002-07:00

I've mentioned before that Brynn likes to take everything out of this cabinet and take it all over the house. Now, she likes to take some of the containers out, sit IN the cabinet and play with everything that's left in there with her.

Note to self: Don't waste your time trying to organize the Rubbermaid containers, Brynn will rearrange it all anyway.

PREGO!!!!!!!!!!

2008-11-07T21:22:00.008-07:00

I bet that just made your heart stop for a second, didn't it?! No, I'm not Prego! ;o)

5 MINUTES FOR MOM is hosting a "Fun With Food Photo Contest", the prize is a $500 grocery card!! HOPEFULLY this picture of Brynn will atleast get us into the finals!! What do you think? Wish us luck!!

Thanks to BECKI for telling us about the contest!! Make sure you click on Becki's link, she has a super cute picture of Maggie on there!!

P.S. We really do use Prego's sauce! How weird!!

Just For The Record

2008-11-06T22:58:00.003-07:00

My mom sent Brynn this sweater for Brynn last week (even though we just found the UPS box IN OUR BACKYARD the other night). I was all excited and really liked the sweater because it's really bright and she's a bright-color kind of chick.

Mom, here is what she thought of it:

Note to self: Brynn doesn't like wool. Or hoods. Or putting a thick sweater in 80 degree weather. Oh well. It's big on her, so maybe it will be her favorite next year.

Thanks Mom!! ;o)

Best Buddies

2008-11-02T21:22:00.007-07:00

Last Saturday, Brynn and I went over to the Casey's house to hang out with Jenn and Luke! Brynn and Luke had a blast playing in a laundry basket... you HAVE TO check out the videos below to see the two cutest kids EVER!!

Oh and while we were there, Jenn was doing some laundry. Somehow, Brynn found Matt's Scoobydoo undies and tried to put them on!! (Yes, they were clean!)

Here are a few of the pictures and videos we took that night:

Here is ONE of the videos. They are taking me forever to upload. Check back soon to see number two!!

Labels

2008-11-02T20:58:00.002-07:00

Towards the bottom of this page, I have added a list of the labels that I've put on my recent posts.

So, if you want to read everything that has to do with my pregnancy, just click on "Bun In The Oven" or everything that has to do with someone visiting from out of town, click on "Fun Visit". Most of the posts have more than one label on them, so if you're looking for a specific memory, you'll have a few options to search in.

I have about a year and a half to go back through and label, so it will be quite a while before I'm finished!!

Bear Crawl

2008-11-02T17:30:00.005-07:00

Brynn will walk if she's holding on to something but freaks out if you try to get her to do it by herself. She's ALMOST there!!

Last night, we went to another potluck. Brynn and I were sitting on the ground and she decided that she wanted to go off on her own. Well, she didn't like how the grass felt on her legs.

Here is the sequence of events that lead to her doing a barecrawl ALL OVER the yard.

Halloween - Part 2

2008-11-01T09:07:00.004-06:00

Last night we went to the Blakesley's house for some Halloween fun. They had their yard decorated like a cemetary and went all out!! We had lots of trick-or-treaters stop by to get candy. A few of the guys from the club dressed up (I think we might next year).

Brynn dressed up as a Scaaary Three Eyed Monster... for about five minutes!! She was not a happy camper when she had that costume on, can you tell by the pictures below? We learned our lesson... no more thick costumes. ;o)

Here are some pictures from our fun night!!

Halloween - Part 1

2008-10-31T17:47:00.003-06:00

For daycare, Brynn was a little sailor!! Bri bought this for Brynn back in March and she thought it would be really cool because Chad's sister Jami is in the Navy!!

So Auntie Bri and Aunt Jami, these are for you!!

P.S. Can you tell she didn't want to wear the hat? She kept trying to wiggle out of my lap!!

Carving Pumpkins

2008-10-30T21:41:00.006-06:00

Chad has fun carving pumpkins, so we got an extra one this year and he carved "D3" into it. (His VW club.) We're hanging out with a few of the families from the club tomorrow night, doing a potluck and trick-or-treating!!

Chad's mom (Jody, a.k.a. Gramma!) sent Brynn some super cute Halloween hair things, so we had to take lots of pictures with them in while she played in the pumpkin goop!! Thanks Gramma!!

Here are some pictures that we took tonight:

Like Father Like Daughter

Quick Trip to Tucson

2008-10-27T22:39:00.002-06:00

Last Saturday morning, Chad and I met with a bunch of people that are in his car club and we all drove down to Tucson for a VW show. Not too long after we left the house, I realized that we forgot sunscreen. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal since we live in ARIZONA and you can GET SUNBURNT ON CHRISTMAS DAY here, they had to have some at Kmart (where we met). WRONG. I couldn't find any.

We had a lot of fun and we got to hang out with some of Chad's friends that I hadn't seen for a while. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get there because there were 12 cars total that drove together. On the way there, a few of the cars broke down and we ended up stopping about four times so that they could get them running again. This is where the sunscreen would have came in handy. I looked like an idiot because I was only burnt on the right side of my neck and face. Oh well, it's feeling much better now.

The actual car show was on Sunday and several people from Chad's club got up SUPER EARLY and were there at 4:00AM!! I told Chad he was nuts if he wanted me to get up at early. We got there at 6:15 or so.

I was guessing that there were around 90 cars or so but we found out that at the last count, there were 176!! That is a lot of VW's!!

Our friend Zach brought his grill down with him, so of course, I took over collecting the money for food and Zach and I went shopping. He and Chad did the GRILLING.

They gave out a bunch of awards at the show and D3 (Chad's club) gave out a few as well. The members of D3 all gave Chad an award for this year's show because his car had gone through so much work in the last year! We thought that was pretty cool.

We had to hurry to get home because Chad's mom flew in for the weekend (she watched Brynn) and we had to get her back to the airport (I'll post on that soon!!). We felt bad because we weren't able to drive back with the rest of the group and were crossing our fingers that we didn't break down!! Luckily, we made it home ok.

Here are a few pictures from our quick trip (Jenn - Chad took a picture of the U of A Bug just for you!!):

15 Months!!

2008-10-26T22:31:00.001-06:00

Brynn, this month you have earned the name of "Miss Independant". You want to do everything yourself. Well, everything but walk. You are quite the speedy crawler though!!

You're trying to climb on everything. Your favorite thing to do is to have me sit in the recliner, put the footrest partially up, then you climb up it and slide back down. Over and over and over...

You love to sing and dance!! We still listen to the cd that Mimi gave you for Christmas EVERY MORNING on the way to Brenda's house. You have a few favorite songs that you chime in to. I think we're going to put the Barenaked Ladies cd for kids on your list of things for Santa Claus to bring you this year, Mommy is ready for some new tunes!!

You are talking like crazy now. You like to point at things (even if you're not pointing to anything in particular) and have us pronounce them. You really surprised us a few nights ago when you said "no no ma ma". I have to admit, it was really cute but oh man, we're going to be in trouble when you get older. A few of the other new words that you've said lately are bug (meaning Daddy's Bug, you point to it when you say it!), fan, LUKE!, Spike (sounds like SSSPK), fish, more, milk, drink and ball. You even try to say pumpkin, balloon and glasses. (We're still working on those!!)

Oh and in the mornings, you like to watch Johnny And The Sprites, they're on the Disney Channel just before The Wiggles.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks:

(I have LOTS more but I'm using them for other posts!!)

2008-10-25T16:11:00.004-06:00

Yesterday was my last day at Layne, I was there for a little over two years. Literally. My two-year anniversary was on the 16th. I was able to stay the full two weeks of my notice and I got a lot of things finished up. Not as much as I wanted, but a lot.

I think I did an ok job with what I did but it wasn't my dream job and I was ready for a change, it just wasn't me. I would rather have one or two people above me, instead of a million. I've never worked for a small company before, so this should be interesting!!

I made a few GREAT friends in the last two years and I'm sorry to leave you!! (You know who you are...) It's things like this that will make you realize who your real friends are, I really hope we keep in touch.

Thank you to everyone who made my last two weeks really enjoyable. Thank you for the lunch(es), the cards, the plant, the cake, the "Big Hunks", the friendships and the opportunity.

Wish me luck, I start my new job on Monday.

Chad, you are the best husband (and Daddy!) ever. I love you so much and I don't know what I would do without you. Happy 2nd Anniversary Babe!!

Prop 102. Why Does It Matter?

2008-10-15T21:48:00.006-06:00

I normally don't talk about politics or religion. I don't mind reading about politics but if you ask who I'm going to vote for, I'll tell you that I don't talk politics.

However, there is one thing that I just don't understand. Seriously, please help me out with this. I WOULD REALLY LIKE YOUR OPINION.

Voting "Yes" to Prop 102 means that "Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state".

I have seen more signs all over Mesa and Chandler trying to get people to say "Yes To Prop 102" than any other sign that I have seen. I haven't seen a "Say No" sign yet.

It is VERY clear that I live in a city that does not support gay marriage. Without bringing religion into it, I don't understand why it matters if the man who lives next door to you wants to marry another man. Or the woman who you work with wants to marry another woman.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME? You can post as anonymous on this one, I don't care... I just really don't understand why it matters to anyone else what other people do, if it doesn't affect you.

Mother Nature's Farm - Year 2

Click HERE to see pictures from last year!!

I kept my word (from a year ago). We ended up taking Brynn on her first hayride, decorating Brynn's baby pumpkin, picking out our own and showing her some farm animals!!

Here are some pictures we took today:

(They're bigger than last year...)

Happy Birthday Deegans!!

2008-10-11T19:17:00.013-06:00

Today Brynn and I went to a birthday party for Kailey (7!!) and Reilly (4!!). They are growing up WAY TOO FAST!! When I met the Deegans, they lived right across the street from me in Queen Creek and Kailey was two years old.

Here's a really nerdy picture of Kailey and I from almost five years ago, in December 2003.

Amber (and Jenn!), why didn't you tell me I looked like such a dork?!

Amber mentioned that the girls are really into the Cheetah girls and all of the High School Musical stuff. So, I was on a mission to find something related to the Cheetah girls. I failed. We ended up getting them High School Musical jewelry boxes, glitter and beaded bracelets, watches and some lip gloss. Man, this girly stuff is fun!! Reilly loved her watch, she wore it for the whole party!!

Here are some pictures from the party!!

(Reilly was tickling Brynn's belly... Brynn wanted Reilly's necklace!!)

I QUIT!!

2008-10-09T22:02:00.003-06:00

MY JOB.

No worries, I have another one.

I turned in my notice this afternoon and was super nervous about what my boss would say. It went well. I hate to disappoint people and I feel like I'm letting some people down by leaving because I think (ok, I know...) some of my work will fall onto their plates. Oh yeah, and for that one guy that I can't stand, you can kiss my ass, do the work yourself. You're not any better than me. It's not my fault that you don't wear the pants at home, you don't wear them at work either. I don't know if you read this but man, it made me feel better that I told you to kiss my ass.

Ah, that really did feel good.

The position that I am in now just isn't me and I'm ready for a change. I've made a few good friends there who I will keep in touch with and that I will miss; but for the most part, I'm ready for a new adventure.

I am going to be a buyer for a company in Tempe. I'm pretty excited about it, a little nervous too. You always are when you start something new. My friend, Amber, recommended me for the job, she and I will work pretty closely. I have absolutely no buying experience but I think I will do well at it. Now, I just need to prove myself.

Wish me luck!!

Thanks Amber!!

Thoughts And Prayers For Us Please

2008-10-03T22:33:00.004-06:00

This afternoon Chad took Brynn to the eye doctor, as another follow up from her surgery back in April. We've noticed a lot lately when she is tired, her eyes wander. One will be looking straight at you and the other will look up or down. Sometimes they'll cross. We tell her to "fix" her eyes, she'll blink, and for the most part, they'll go back to being straight.

Today, Brynn was pretty sleepy when Chad took her to the appointment, so the doctor got to see first hand what we had been observing since the surgery. He seemed concerned and wants to see her again in six weeks. He said that this is a similar problem to what she had before. Remember, we were pretty sure she was going to end up needing another surgery eventually, so we're a little prepared if we have to do another one. We'll find out more on November 19th.

I also found out today that my grandma, Mimi, is going to have a heart cath done on Tuesday. From what my mom has said, Mimi has been having a lot of heartburn lately and just hasn't been feeling well. She's also had a lot of kidney issues, so that doctor will be in on the surgery too. I know it was my decision to move to Arizona but it's the very few times like this when I just want to be back there. So Mim, be strong and confident... everything will be ok. WE LOVE YOU!!

Mom, Dad and Bri... be there for me.

So, please, keep us in your thoughts and prayers for a while.

Tagged!!

2008-10-01T12:43:00.007-06:00

I haven't done one of these for a while...

I was tagged by Becki! It seems like we've got a lot in common, I left some of the answers the same as hers!!!

Favorite person (outside of family)? Hmm... hard to choose!!!

Favorite food? Pizza!!

Quirks about you? I can't leave the house without a shower!!

Worst job you’ve ever had? I was a temp for a mortgage company once, for three days. BORING!!

What job would you pay NOT to have? Waiting tables

If you could be a fly on the wall, where? That would change from day to day. Someplace without fly swatters. Or at least without someone who used a fly swatter well... (Ha ha ha... that was Becki's, I had to borrow it!!)

Got any confessions? Nope!!

If you HAD to spend $1,000 on YOURSELF, how would you spend it? A camera and accessories... but I think I'd need about $2,000.

String cheese or strip cheese? Chad made fun of me today because I called it strip cheese. Normally I call it string cheese but for whatever reason, I thought back to elementary school when Bri and I used to call it strip cheese. You pull the cheese off in strips. Hmph.

Long Time No See

2008-09-28T11:17:00.003-06:00

Last Sunday, we went to visit the O'Shaughnessy's!! Erin and Mike haven't seen Brynn since last September, we figured it was about time we all got together!! Erin and Mike have two weiner dogs, Cooper and Quinn. When we walked in, Brynn didn't know what to think of them. We kept telling her that they were "pups" but I don't think she believed us because she was pretty freaked out!! After a few minutes, she was laughing and having a good time.

Quinn really loved her, he kept giving her kisses, nibbling on her fingers and they even chased each other!!

Brynn eventually found a squirt bottle and decided that instead of her cup, she wanted to drink out of the water bottle!!

Here are some pictures from our goofy afternoon!!

14 Months Old!!

2008-09-27T14:41:00.006-06:00

Brynn, you turned 14 months old a few days ago and of course, I can't believe it. It's already been 2 months since your big birthday bash!!

You've really developed your own little personality. You've started to smile at EVERYONE to get them to smile back at you; you know you're cute and you're taking full advantage of it!!

You love grapes, especially green ones. Just like your Daddy. This morning I caught you with 5 of them in your mouth, attempting to shove one more into those chubby cheeks of yours. I said "BRYNN!" pretty loud, you opened your mouth (I think I freaked you out a little) and all of them came rolling out. Mel enjoyed them almost as much as you did. She's our Brynn-crumb catcher. She lays under your high chair waiting for anything you drop, throw or spit out. It doesn't matter what it is, she loves it. Last week, your Daddy caught her with her front paws on the foot part of your high chair trying to get to all of your leftovers in your seat. We were both surprised that the highchair didn't break, considering she weighs like 70lbs!!

You love Allie's kisses and when she comes running at you when she's excited. She gets you all excited and then you squeel and laugh like crazy. You always try to poke her eyes, smack her head and pull on her ears, but she doesn't mind. You're her little buddy.

You still aren't walking by yourself yet but Daddy and I aren't complaining. You pull yourself up all the time and will walk all around the coffee table while holding on... you're just not quite ready to let go.

You love to brush your teeth... or atleast suck all of the toothpaste and water out of the toothbrush anyway. If you see the toothpaste sitting on the counter, you get all mad if I don't keep putting it on your toothbrush (so I hide it after refilling you twice!!).

In the morning while I'm getting ready for work, you like to watch The Wiggles. You don't know what to think of the hair dryer but you like it when my hair blows all around, it makes you smile. I tell you that I love you all morning long, it sounds like "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YYYYOOOOOOOOUUU!!" and then I point at you and you point back at me! We do this with Daddy too!!

On our ride to Brenda's house in the morning, we listen to your "Car Songs" cd that Mimi got you for Christmas. Your favorite song is John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmitt (I have NO IDEA if I spelled that right.). You try to sing along with the music!! Daddy thinks it's pretty cool because you say "Da da da da da" when that part of the song comes on. You love music, you like to play your flute, piano and xylophone. You learned how to take your xylophone apart and are now missing four pieces to it!!

You still don't like to wear your shoes on your feet, you like to put them on your hands and crawl around like that. You've attempted to put them on your feet several times but when Daddy or I try to help you put them on, you get mad and take them off!!

Dad, Daddy and Dada are your favorite words. Allie is "AAAAAAAAAAA" or "AAAAAAAAA EE". Mel is "Mel". Last night, Brenda told me that she had a microphone and was giving all of the kids at daycare a turn to say certain words and she said that you were the only one who would say "kitty cat"!!

You had swimming lessons this morning with Daddy and you did awesome. You're the only one who hasn't missed a class yet!! You're learning to monkey crawl on the wall and how to get out of the pool. You understand what you're supposed to do but you're not strong enough yet to pull yourself all the way out.

Here are some pictures from this month:

Ahhh...

2008-09-26T23:08:00.005-06:00

Reason for the title?

* I love Grey's Anatomy. (Just watched it tonight, recorded it last night.) So cool that badass soldier guy took care of Christina.

* It's Friday.

* The weather is cooling down, which is good because I am really hating the summers here without a pool.

* We're going to hang out with Jenn & her family this weekend.

* The Bug is almost finished.

* Reminder... it's Friday.

* Chad's getting up with Brynn tomorrow to let me sleep in a little. What a keeper.

* UPDATE... he WAS a keeper. He just put my clean clothes on the floor because he wanted to go to bed and I was just finishing that last *. Now he just thinks he's the funniest person in the world, he's cracking up to himself right now. ;o)

*** UPDATE # 2 *** he just put my clothes back up on my side of the bed.

*** EDIT *** Chad just pointed out the reason that he put them on the floor was because there are two laundry baskets with clean clothes in them already and there isn't room to put more in them (Um, I'm sure there is...).

I hate doing laundry (or any other sort of cleaning) - can you tell?

Ok, I'll go fold some clothes...

*** UPDATE # 3 *** This morning (Saturday), I woke up at 9:00. Chad and Brynn both woke up at 9:30. Did you read that? BRYNN WOKE UP AT 9:30!!! WOW!!!

Perfectly Happy

2008-09-17T22:50:00.004-06:00

Reading THIS STORY and briefly reading through THIS BLOG have made me realize just how lucky I am and that I am perfectly happy with having only one beautiful, healthy little girl.

In a matter of hours, this family's life was completely flipped around. I don't even know what we would do if we were in their situation. All I have to say is Scott is one tough guy. It's amazing how families pull together through things like this.

The story mentions that their medical bills are already exceeding $2,000,000. There are donation links on their blog as well.

My thoughts are with them...

Note To Self

2008-09-16T23:15:00.005-06:00

Brynn tugging on her ears a lot doesn't mean she has an ear infection. It means she likes to tug on her ears... she's been doing it for the last few days and I kind of wondered if she was getting an ear infection but I don't have a clue because she hasn't ever had one before. (Knock on wood.) Brenda called today while I was at work and was pretty concerned because Brynn was doing quite a bit of tugging and she was also pretty needy and moody. I figured it was because she's been going swimming so much lately and maybe she had some water stuck in her ears.

Took her to the doctor and he said she's just fine. No ear infection. No fever. No fluid in her ears. No nothing. Whew. You know what that means? She's a tough little cookie and I'm a paranoid Mommy.

And just because I thought this was a super cute picture... here you go!! I love those chubby little feet!!

Update On Swimming Lessons

2008-09-15T22:34:00.003-06:00

SHE LOVES THEM!! She has had so much fun the last two weeks!! Chad and I are alternating weeks in the pool with her, there's not a whole lot of room in the section of the pool that you're in and it just gets a little too crowded. Plus, it's good for Brynn to spend some one on one time with each of us. I'm really excited that these lessons go through December.

Here are a few pictures from Saturday morning (They're a little blurry but it's the best I could do through the glass!!):

Get that duck!!

Got it!!

Daddy's happy because he's proud of you and wants you to try again!!

Looking Back

2008-09-14T16:17:00.002-06:00

This week, it will be a year ago that Chad lost his job, I went back to work, and Brynn started daycare at the Caudill's house!! I can't believe how fast time has flown by and how completely different our lives are than they were a year ago.

If he wouldn't have lost his job, he wouldn't have found the company that gave him the opportunity to learn a different trade. That experience got him to the amazing company that he works for now.

For all of these crazy things that have happened in the last year, I am completely grateful.

Auntie Bri's Visit!!

2008-09-13T19:29:00.005-06:00

I completely forgot to put up a post about Auntie Bri's visit last month!! She was able to take 10 days out of her busy work and school schedule to spend some time with us. Here are some pictures from her trip, other than the ones that I posted from Tombstone!! Thanks for coming to visit Bri!! (Seriously, I need to tan.)

You can also see a bunch of posts that Bri posted in August and the beginning of September HERE.

The Nielson's

2008-09-12T07:19:00.004-06:00

Remember when I mentioned this a couple weeks ago? The Nielson's (YAY! I DID IT!!)

WELL, I found out that Stephanie's brother Topher's wife Lisa's brother is James Valentine from Maroon 5! (I'm supposed to be getting ready for work and I'm running out of time - I'll attach a link later!) Awesome.

I also added a donate button to the right side of the page if you're interested. They're expected to have over a million dollars in medical expenses and if you're like us, there's no way that you'd be able to cover all of that by yourself. Stephanie's sister Courtney is keeping everyone updated through her blog.

I am so excited that I figured out how to hyperlink! This will be MUCH more fun now!! YAY!!

Maroon 5 ROCKS!

2008-09-11T22:01:00.003-06:00

So, yeah. I'm still annoyed with hyperlinking. Thanks for trying Heidi but I think I'm just a dumbass at this.

Anyway... Last night, Brynn stayed the night at the Caudill's house. Brenda watches Brynn during the day so we figured it would probably be easier for Brynn just to stay there. (Thanks for the offer though Jenn!!) Brenda said that she did pretty good, she woke up once in the middle of the night and got up at her usual time this morning. I think that was a little rough on Chad and I... it's only the second night that she's been away from us!! We weren't worried about her, it was just a weird feeling not having her at home with us!!

Back to the subject of this post... Maroon 5 ROCKS!! Chad bought perfect seats, Cricket was packed and it was a lot of fun!! Augustana opened up, Maroon 5 was the second band and then the Counting Crows closed the show. We didn't end up sticking around for the Counting Crows... Chad isn't a big fan, we were exhausted, and the Counting Crows WAY too long to set up.

Our friend Rosey was exactly two rows behind us!! (Um, yeah, I would hyperlink that but I can't figure it out... so you can click on her name on my blog list instead.) I knew she was going to be there but I didn't think she'd be so close to us!! How cool is that?!

Unfortunately, we didn't bring our camera. It was supposed to rain last night and we didn't want to deal with it, so we left it at home. Since we knew we weren't going to take the camera with us, we took a pre-concert picture!! Here is my Hottie Husband Who Buys Me Awesome Birthday Presents and I:

Today is the third day that this cute little chick has gone without a bottle. I think we can pack them up and put them away!!

Finally!

2008-09-07T13:36:00.005-06:00

This morning we took Brynn to a playground for the first time!! We thought it was a little warm out when we walked over there but I didn't have a clue of what the temperature was. I checked it when we got home and it was 97 degrees. At 10:30am!!

I really wanted Brynn to try out the swings... at first, she didn't know what to think.

A few seconds later, she made up her mind.

Next, she and Daddy tested out the twisty slide, which she didn't want to do...

"Hmph, that wasn't as bad as I thought!!"

"OH MAN! That dumb slide messed up my hair!"

We'll wait another month until it cools down and we'll try again. She was happy on the ride home!!

Brynn has taught me many things in her first year of life. She's pretty predictable and today she did something that I should have known that she would have done but I thought I was fast enough for her not to notice.

I started to take some clothes out of the washer and put them in the dryer but then I was like "Hmph, I need to take the lint out of the lint catcher thingy". So, I did and then I threw it away in the trash can which is right next to the washer. I started to turn back around and I heard a loud "THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!". I was like "OH CRAP, THAT DID NOT JUST HAPPEN!!". Want to know what happened?!

Brynn had my cell phone (LESSON LEARNED RIGHT THERE...) and because she likes to take things out and put them back, SHE DROPPED MY PHONE INTO THE LINT CATCHER HOLE!! At first, I was like "Ok, maybe I got super lucky and she threw it into the dryer." I don't have that kind of luck. I looked down the dirty hole and there it was... CRAP!

Um, my arm doesn't fit in there... Brynn's arm might fit in there but it's definately not long enough to reach it... what the heck am I going to do?! I just kind of stood there for a second shocked and then I called Chad (from the home phone, of course!). He was on his way home from helping his friend with his car. I told him not to call me on my cell because um, it was kind of stuck in the lint dryer hole. He didn't know what to say but I think he thought it was pretty funny!! I wasn't mad, I couldn't have been... it was my own fault for letting her play with my phone in the first place. UGH.

So anyway, Chad was on his way home and I was like ok, I'm going to try and be smart about this and try to get it out myself. About two minutes later, Chad got home. While he was out in the garage getting some tools, I tried to get it out with a spatula and some tongs... that didn't work. I just about dropped the spatula down there too, that really would have sucked.

Here's Superman Chad assessing the situation:

This is what he had to do to get it out (FLIP THE DRYER ON IT'S SIDE!!):

Whew. What a relief! Thank you Superman Hottie Husband of mine! I love you!!

Time to go finish the laundry...

Second Request...
