Moving Time!


On the 21st we are moving! I could not be more excited to have a home of my own. Well, not really my own- another persons home that we are renting. Either way it will be home. No more living in one bedroom! Which means, I get to actually fold laundry without having Mike to be there to chase after Bren. Going to bed without being afraid of waking Bren up. Use all of our stuff that has been in a garage for over a year (which by the way has ALOT of dust). Parking in a garage instead of the side of the road worrying if those pesky kids are going to throw rocks at our car. Again. And more importantly, feeling like a family. We have lived with my parents before Brendon was born! Which was a blessing for sure. Other wise I am not sure if I would have been able to get to the car while in labor. Instead of the Jeep, Bren would have been born in an apartment haha. My parents have done so much for my little family. I will be forever grateful for them. They are the best parents anyone could ask for!

My favorite sister in the whole world is getting married!! I am very excited and happy for her! She deserve every bit of happiness that Matt and her will have. Plus Bren needs some cousins on the Marshall side of the family ;) I get to be the maid of honor! I have never been in a wedding before. Minus when I was little and a flower girl for my Aunt. I am excited to help make Kelsey's happy day even more happy.

Brendon is doing well. He will be 10 months on the 20th. I cant believe how fast time flies! He is getting more and more personality each day. We got him a big boy car seat! He loves being able to see out the window. And it is so much easier taking him places. I dont have to lug around a big carrier that weighs a ton. He now has four teeth. Two on top and two on the bottom. The temper tantrums begin. He is a pro already, a little scary I must say.

Catch up

Mike got a new job!! This job is going to be SO much better. It has better hours, I will actually be able to see and spend time with my husband! Plus he will be paid hourly not flat rate! We will be able to catch up on everything and then move out! My job as always is going great! Besides the part of being there literally all. day. long. We still have only one car, Mike needs it cause he gets off work earlier then me. So I am at my job sometimes about 12 hours. Sometimes it is a pain in the butt, but there is a good side to it. Since I am here so early, I am able to workout a little bit. Which is nice cause I have not worked out in forever and I am totally out of shape. Plus I get alot of walking done if I want something to drink and what not at lunch time.

Brendon is fantastic! He is getting so big. He is now 8 months old! My parents got him a little walker, he LOVES it. It didnt take him long to figure it out and now he is a pro! However since he can walk all by himself in the walker he thinks he can do it out of the walker. And when it does not work out... Boy, does he get frustrated. He is getting pretty good at standing by himself. He can hold his balance for about a second or two.
He still has not gotten his top tooth :( sure hope it comes soon! Some nights are just lasting too long.

We took our Christmas pictures! They turned out way better then I thought (all thanks to my dads idea). I am trying to be a mommy photographer. I just want really nice pictures for my scrapbooks without paying out the butt for a professional to take them.







                Merry Christmas every one!
