Party Girl


I swear this was the weekend for the drive-in! On facebook a friend in South Salt Lake and one in California were at the drive-in on Saturday night. I suppose all the cool people got the memo, LOL!

CC suggested we go so we did. I still have hours, and hours, and hours to finish before December 15th but I also have a family with needs. I decided if we went to the drive-in I could sleep in and volunteer after. Well, let’s just say, I slept in, and then I never even put pants on. We all (including  B) lounged around the house ALL day! We call Brek a party girl when she doesn’t get ready for the day.

The latest things she has been doing…
*She was having separation issues for a few weeks but it seems to be over now! Hooray!
*She ‘army’ crawls all over the house!
*She says ba-by and waves-Adorable!
*She is officially a chatter box (has been for sometime)
*Still in 3-6 and 6-9 month clothes.
*She has BLONDE hair so she appears bald.
*Breast feeding is starting to come to an end. I have accepted it (a little). I still try but we did start supplementing one meal a day. I use to pump 15-20 oz a day, now we are lucky if I come home with 5 oz in a day. Plus, we have started the wrestling match that is ever so present at this age. Sometimes I just want to give up—but I don’t! My work schedule is starting to pick up and I will have to visit schools at 7 AM in SLC so that means I won’t have as much time in the AM to nurse or pump. What to do…I suppose she is almost 10 months and it would be ok if I stopped but I am going to keep trying until there is no hope.

I finish school in 16 weeks! (Hopefully, FOREVER!!!!) We are surviving my schedule but let’s see how the next 16 weeks go. I am very excited about what 2013 will bring for our family. Wishing time away is not healthy and I know it but I need to survive this year so I can start on my Year of Reconnection! I am hopeful that 2013 will allow us time to reconnect as husband and wife, mother and father, mother and daughter, plus our families, friends, health, and traveling!

Loves and hugs-Here’s to surviving one more semester!

  1. Just thinking... Brek may be still in the smaller clothes sizes, but she'll probably have a growth spurt, and you'll be wondering what happened.
    You are a great mother doing the best that you can in your family circumstances. You're an inspiration to me, truly!
    As to your previous post, Cory will find employment. It is hard. I've been there with Tim, but you just keep supporting each other. Keep praying, and blessings will come to you both!
