4 months old

My baby girl is already 4 months old! The time truly has flown by, I feel so horrible, with your first child you seem to document everything they do and every milestone they make, but with Brielle we were just enjoying her birth and then all of a sudden she is 4 months old and doing so much and I don't think I have documented let alone taken very many pictures! Hopefully she will forgive me someday and hopefully I will be better from here on out! Brielle started out a pretty difficult baby because of her poor digestive system but in the last month we have just been enjoying her smiles and giggles! We started her on some cereal at night and who would have thought it has just been cleaning her out and now she has a pretty regular system and all of a sudden we have a pretty chill baby.....atleast comparative to what we had before. She has been rolling over from her back to her tummy for about a month now and is just starting to roll from her tummy to her back, but she doesn't do it very often because she loves her belly! She is starting to giggle and of course the only one that gets her giggling is her sister she loves to watch her!

We were watching a movie as a family the other night and and this is how I found Brielle. So dang cute!!
She still has tons of dark hair but she is losing her hair along the sides and the back so she either looks like she has a comb over or a mohawk!
I threw a Baby Shower for my friend Becca and this was the Diaper cake I made for her. I made her baby a Tutu and I put it on the bottom layer!
All the yummy food we made!!

Disney and Spring Training!

Major perks when you work for the Disney's Wide World of Sports, this is where they host the Atlanta Braves Spring Training! We were told that we would get a couple free tickets, but we never realized they would be the front row right on top of the dugout! We had so much fun and it was the first nice sunny day in a while!

Poor little Brie has grown in this Cockatoo hair right on the crown of her hair that no matter what I do I cannot get it to stay down!!
My pretty little girls!
When we were walking back to the car Addi was complaining her feet hurt so her Daddy decided to carry her on his shoulders the rest of the way, this was Brie and my view!
Other wonderful perks of Disney is how often we get to go to the park, we went just a week ago and it was freezing!
Addi makes a pretty cute Snow White!

5th Anniversary!

So five years and 6 months ago I met this young stud!!

After dating and being engaged for only 6 short months.
We were married!!! One of the happiest days of my life!
Add two beautiful little girls!
Equals five very happy wonderful years of marriage!!

Last Friday was Jake and my fifth wedding anniversary, I can't believe that it has been five years and I also can't believe that it has only been five years! It has gone by so fast and yet I don't remember what life was like without him. It has been a blur from a wedding, to enjoying life as a couple, to the birth of our first baby girl, to being poor starving college students, to graduating with a bachelors, to moving to Florida, to still poor starving graduate college students, to the birth of our second baby girl, to an overrun of dresses and bows in Jake's life, to five years of marriage. We still have a lot to look forward to this year for the first time in our five years together we will finally be done with school this April! Hopefully we will be blessed with a job that my wonderful Husband is working his tail off trying to find right now! We can't wait to see what the next five years will bring! I love Jake so very much and could not imagine life with out him. After five years I have come to know what makes my husband so special. He is the most honest man I have ever met, even with the most hated "honey does this make me look fat!" question he cannot tell a lie! I have appreciated all our lives, him helping to teach me through hard lessons the importance of living a completely honest life even in the little things! He is the kindest most generous man, he is always making sure every last person always feels welcomed and accepted. He is a very loving father and even though I am a stay at home mom and Jake is so busy we hardly see him, it still isn't uncommon that when he is home you will always commonly see him doing dishes, changing diapers, helping get the girls to bed, ironing and even dusting! He does everything in his power to always make sure that I am happy, so if I get in my head I want and or want to do something I almost always get my way because after a lot of nagging he just can't tell me no! I am spoiled rotten with the most wonderful man on the earth. I love him so very much and can't wait for our next five years together!

Lacrosse Game

One of Jake's co-worker had a bunch of tickets for a Pro Lacrosse game and Jake and I had never even watched a Lacrosse game so we thought it would be a fun little outing so we took the tickets and invited all of our friends. We had a lot of fun and come to find out Lacrosse is almost exactly like hockey but no ice! So we got to see some pretty awesome fights! These are our friends Ben and Lyric and their cute little baby Milo.

This is Ian and Sara and also Becca and Brian. Our friends Adam and Lisa also came but they hadn't made it to the game yet when I took this picture!
My cute little Brielle with Becca, she is so pretty in green! Becca's pregnant with a girl and due in April, we are so excited to have two little girls close together so they can be friends!
This fight got pretty intense, it was a pretty rough sport even rougher than hockey or at least this game was.
This is just a fun little picture I took this morning, I am nursing Brielle and so Addi never gets to feed her and she always begs to get her a bottle, so this morning I let Addi feed her she was so excited!! Brielle was a little trooper!

Thingamabobs....I got twenty!!!

I was in the kitchen this morning and I hear Addi belting the song from "Little Mermaid" so I had to sneak down the hall and barely get the camera around the corner to catch it on video, but it was so hilarious especially when she sings the part about "thingamabobs....I got twenty" she sings the emphasis perfectly. Addi is very shy about her singing when the camera breaks out if only she was that shy in the Grocery Store when she is belting a song at the top of her lungs and yes I have had people come from different lanes to my lane just to see what the crap is going on. Very cute but oh so embarrassing!!

Valentines Day!

We had such wonderful Valentines Day. We got two wonderful packages from my mom and from Jake's mom, we are loved so much and are so very thankful for the gifts! Jakes mom sent the girls a couple of cute little Valentines day outfits and since we had three Valentines parties that we went to this weekend, my girls were the belles of the ball!! Aren't they so adorable!!

My little Brielle is eleven weeks old today....I can't believe it has been almost three months! She is such a cutie and she already has her daddy's heart the second he walks in the door from school or work he has to hold his baby girl! She smiles and coos all the time now and she has to be where the action is, if we even dare to leave the room where she is at, she demands us back in! She looks exactly like her sister but has her own little personality which to me gives her own look. This is what our little girly looks like when i'm cooking dinner she has to be up on the table watching!

Stir Crazy!!

Addi is quite the little cook she is always pretending that she is cooking dinner or Birthday cakes or some other little treat. We have been going pretty stir crazy since the car we bought for Jake five months ago, the transmission went out so we are back down to one car. Jake has to travel clear to Disney which with traffic is an hour away, so there is no way I can take him to work and keep the car all day and then go pick him up, so alas me and the girls get on each others nerves pretty quickly!! So yesterday was definately one of those cases so I decided I would let Addi help me make Cupcakes and since Valentines day is coming up we made Red Velvet with red and pink Sprinkles!!

Addi loved being able to decorate them all by herself!!
The sprinkles ended up in a big mound all on one side!!
She actually ate the whole thing instead of just licking all the frosting off. I think she was so proud that she actually got to mix, fill the cups, bake and frost and decorate all by herself. She is getting to be a pretty big girl!!
So I got the best present anyone could ask for at three in the morning!! Anyone that has been around my house (or on the phone) for more than a few minutes can atest to the fact that I don't have the happiest little baby. She is always screaming, which we know is due to her poor little digestive system, but when the night rolls around this screaming gets especially worse so Jake and I take turns all night with not only an awake baby but a screaming and unhappy baby. Last night at three in the morning (after a major blow out) I had the happiest Brielle I have ever seen!! It did my heart good to finally see her smiling and trying to giggle, and although it was in the middle of the night I spent a whole hour just playing and cooing back at my baby, because I knew it was a very rare moment!! I thought that it was so cute I had to get video proof of it for Jake!!
