Brett's 1st Fishing Trip!

Today after Alan got off work he took Brett fishing for the 1st time! My little boy is growing up so fast :) Just look how freaking adorable he looks in his little camo hat and life jacket. On the way to the lake, Alan stopped to pick up some minnows & that was enough for Brett... Alan asked Brett if he was ready to go fishing & catch some BIG fish, Brett said, " No, I got small ones!" They had so much fun!!

Big Boy :)

Hey Dad... Look at me!

My big boy has a real hook on the end of that pole!!

The Sweetest Thing :)

This morning about 7am, Brett crawled up into bed with me. He is so sweet when he just cuddles up to me and we get to relax for just a little bit longer before we get up. This morning was extra special... Brett was just laying next to me and very softly he said "Mommy, you beautiful!" Oh my heart just melted! I had to ask him again what he said and of course he said it again, "Mommy, you beautiful!" I said, "Brett, are you saying beautiful?" and he just looked at me and said "Yes." Now, if you know my kiddo, you know that his "Yes" is the cutest, sweetest, most, innocent "Yes" in the whole world!
I love my life! I love my family!

Alan Hunting

Alan, Jerod, Justin, and Keith went hunting at Jerod's deer lease this past weekend. The lease is way up in the panhandle about 6 hours from here. They had a great time though! They drove through a blizzard on the way there and had no heat all weekend... sounds like fun...huh?!?! Glad I was at home in my warm house with Brett!! :)

Brett, Hattie, & Cade!

Just some cute pics of Brett, Hattie, & Cade!

We cooked out at our house with some of our friends last Saturday! The kids decided they wanted to go fishing in the swimming pool :) Bless their little hearts... it was warm outside, but the water was still pretty cold & they got soaking wet!!

I think both Cade & Brett will be fighting for Hattie in the future ;)

1st pics of Baby #2!

I went to the doctor yesterday just for a check up and the Sono. Tech. gave me these pics of the baby! It was so awesome to watch that tiny little person moving all around inside my belly :) She said I am measuring 13 weeks which is right on target and the heartbeat is still 157! Maybe girl??? We weren't checking for the sex of the baby, so I don't know that yet :(

We showed Brett the pics of the baby and told him that this is his little brother or little sister! He was so excited and started telling me, "Mommy, you have baby in your tummy?" He is so cute when he talks about the baby :) We showed him the baby's head and nose and mouth and hand! Then we would show the next pic to Brett and he would tell us where everything on the baby is! So far, Brett is doing really good about excepting the new addition :)
