Random pics...

I left Braelynne for a minute to pour her something to drink and I turned around and she obviously was too hungry to wait for me to feed her. It was so cute had to take a pic. Miss B is keeping us busy these days. Forget about the terrible two's, she is having the terrible one's and I am hating every minute of her tantrums!! She has a temper for sure....don't know where she gets that from at all.......:) She loves the outside, her gma Traci laughs at her everyday because as soon as she walks in the door in the morning she turns back around and bangs on the glass door saying "outside, outside...." she says it in the sweetest voice, you can't say no....and if you do, be prepared for WWIII! She loves her baby pool and gma's bigger pool....she is my outdoor baby. Like I keep saying......she is soooo lucky she is cute or she would be in so much more trouble!! In all seriousness, we are doing good. Corey's dogs are driving me nuts and I'm sure there will be more to come however I will not have any more inside....its a mad house most days. Hope everyone is good, talk to everyone soon!!

Looks like she is guilty of something......cute dress though so that is why i took the pic!

B put her shoe on EZ:)

Haha, you had to be there but she had on one of Corey's hats and when she left it alone she looked like Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat....she is a trip.

Braelynne chasing after EZ

Happy Fathers Day!

This is the only pic she would sit for....then she was off and had other things to do with her time:) She is sucking on a baby bottle...she still doesn't understand why the milk doesn't come out for her! This wasn't Corey's first Fathers Day.....but this one mattered more because she was older then a month old!! It was a good day to have the family out....BBQ'd and played in the house because it was a thousand degrees out. Everything is going well...nothing new to report......................besides the fact while typing this Braelynne just dropped my new cell phone in the dog's water bowl......wow, I need a xanex just to get through my day:) Hope everyone is doing well!!

Papa and B.....she never looks when you want her to!!

We had Papa and Nana and Austin out for Fathers Day.....Finally a pic of Papa and the kids....pretty decent one too!!! Dad never smiles!!!!

Braelynne learning to bite.....corey plays with her and they both think its funny, but it wasn't funny when she came out of no where and bit my toe!!!! Bad girl!!

B trying to get up on the couch to get Corey

New Sandbox and the best little visitor!

A friend from work had a friend that was selling a sandbox and I got one for B for just a few bucks! Grandpa Brent was going to get her a new one but they cost $75....a used one was ok and is in perfect condition. What a deal! Austin Tyler came out this past weekend and we had fun playing in the yard and wearing the dogs out. We had a good time. No new updates....Corey is still working lots of hours and doesn't seem to mind the job, we are still trying to figure out what we want to do in the yard.....hopefully I figure it out soon! Hope all is well!

Diggin away......

Look at me mom.....B playing in her new sandbox!

Quality time with Aunt Megan.....I hadn't showered yet so i was looking rough!

PASSED OUT!!!

I had to post this pic because she was so tired last weekend that she passed out and wouldn't wake up for nothing......I tried waking her up for 30min and ended up just letting her sleep because it was obvious that she needed it!!!! Isn't it funny how she sleeps!! Usually she sleeps with her butt up in the air!! Have a great weekend!!

Adoption is FINAL!!!!!

Well for those of you that know the story of my nephew and my parents having custody then I'm pleased to announce that his adoption is FINAL!!! YEAH!!!! This has been a long time coming! It has been an exhausting, sad and long drawn out 4years for my parents!! They have taken him in as their own and wouldn't have thought twice about it. My nephew has had a rough life for being only 4years old and I wouldn't wish what he has been through on my worst enemy.....however, he has managed to overcome tons of obstacles and still be an outstanding kid!! He is the light of my day! I love spending time with him and so does Braelynne! You can tell in the pic that me and mom are excited but Dad is....well he is dad and Austin Tyler was tired and he was done with pictures and paying attention to us...:) All in all it was a good day and I'm just glad to have the State of Iowa out of our lives!!!!! Congrats Austin and Mom and Dad!!!

Judge Fultz and the kids. Destiny had her hearing at the same time...her maternal grandmother adopted her on this day as well. Judge Fultz was awesome with the kids and was excited that they were placed with family and not a foster home.

Austin and Destiny after the judges final decision

Austin on the witness stand with his half-sister Destiny. He just wanted to get up and talk in the microphone!!

House updated pics.....

This is the beautiful sunset from my front steps......its crazy how pretty it really is in person!! Here are some updated pics from the house, sorry no pic of B's room....she was taking a nap so I wasn't able to get a pic just yet. Hope everyone is doing well. Corey is back to work and its lots of hours so I'm back to doing everything myself.....but now we have two dogs to take care of that has to go out and then feed and then put away in the garage! It really sucks! I'm used to Corey being home and handling all that stuff! I guess that is like though right?? Hope everyone is doing well!

1yr Pics!

My B'Lynne all grown up.......I looked back at her newborn pics and just flipped through the book up until now and I can't believe how much she has changed. Its amazing how fast kids grow up. She is becoming sassier and sassier everyday but look who she has for a role model:) Such a good girl but with so much attitude just like her mama! We are still doing updates on the house and will post pics of it soon....still a work in progress, and probably will be for the next 20yrs or so. Hope this finds you all doing well. Love ya! Meg
