Sweet Gracie's Blessing

I was able to make the trip down to Utah this past weekend to see sweet Grace Ann be blessed. Tanner wasn't able to make it, sadly, due to that nasty bug doctors can't seem to cure (Seriously!). Grace's dress was beautiful! Heather's mother-in-law Kerry made it and my mother made the shoes. It was nice to get away and get these cute cousins together! I love that there are only two months apart (almost exactly). I know they will be great friends throughout their life.

Go Tigers!

I was able to help out with the AHS Cheerleaders this year. I loved you but it was a lot of work and I wasn't even the head coach! Needless to say I will miss it and the girls but I won't be returning next year. Cheerleading is an all year sport and it takes a lot of time and dedication! I really admire these girls (& 3 boys) for all of the hard work they put in. We went to state last weekend and they did awesome! They brought home three more trophies for that packed trophy case. A few of the mom's got together and did a lunch for the team on Thursday before we left Friday Morning. Breckyn and Brynlee are in there proudly sporting their "Future Cheerleader" outfits from the team :)The night before the competition the girls all went swimming in the hotel and I tried to get Breckyn to try her first swim out, but despite the smile on her face in this pictureit definitely was not a success. The girls got together that night and watch the past three years of video from state to help them get pumped up! Breckyn got in on the action as well. The team waiting for awards! What a great group of athletes! It was an awesome year! The ending is very bittersweet for me! I am proud to be an Aberdeen Tiger!

Happy 4 Months!

We cannot believe it,Seriously? Where is the time going? She is so much fun and lights up our lives. We don't know what we would do without her? Although we still remember what it was like to sleep in and sleep through the night :) Her sleeping habits were pretty good till we took her to California. Now she is messed up and is having a hard time getting back on track. She finally caught her first cold, but we feel pretty fortunate that she made it four months. She is still smiling and we can't get enough of it! We are so blessed to have such a happy girl! I took her to the doctor today and she weighs 15 lbs.(79%) and is 24 ins.(35%). We have a shorty but we're definitely not surprised :) She has a little chuckle but not quite a laugh yet. It definitely melts me heart when I hear it. We can't get enough of this precious girl and can you blame us? I mean look at her :)

Some facts about Breckyn at 4 months...

• She loves to sit in her Bumbo or just sit up period.


• Loves to talk to mom and dad


• She loves to talk back to the people on TV while I fold laundry.


• Loves to suck on her fingers.


• She is trying so hard to roll over.


• Still loving that binky!


• Loves to play with her toys, expecially her keys. And won't stop putting them in her mouth :)


• Loves to have her hands rubber has she falls asleep.

I am so blessed that I get to stay home with Breckyn every day. I love watching her change as she grows and develop. It is amazing to watch her discover the world around. Being a mother is the best! I would not trade it for anything.
