New blog

Since I never could decide what to do with this blog, I just decided to make a new one until I can make up my mind... lol Or maybe I will just switch back and forth! When one gets full I will erase the other one and start new.. then do it all over again! who knows.. anyways here is the link to the new blog!

Bummer....

So apparently I am all out of storage space on my blog. I have tried everything to increase that storage (short of spending $5 a month for more space. That is ridiculous in my opinion.) So perhaps I will start a new blog or erase all my previous posts and start over. I want to have it printed or something before I delete all of it. I love having a blog (even if I only post 4 times a year.... sorry). So with that I will keep you all up to date on what I decide to do. I did want to post one last photo but that is how much space I really dont have left lol. Hope you are all having a fabulous holiday season and I hope to post pictures of Brielle someday soon!

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Brielle!

Well my sweet little baby turned one today.  Where on earth did the last year go?!! I know everyone says this but it really feels like last week that we brought her home! She is such a funny girl and we couldn't love her more! We never have a dull moment around here! Here are some pictures of the last 12 months! I like to look back and see how tiny she was! I miss her cute tiny little face! 

Just a few quick "fun facts" about Brielle:

-She started walking last week and she has been having a ball with that one!

-She can also stand up on her own without the help of anything or anyone.

-She feeds herself 95% of the time. (yay for that!)

-She LOVES fruit.

-She has 11 teeth (I know.. holy crap.  I get that a lot!)

-Her hair just keeps getting more curly! It would be pretty long if it wasn't so cute and curly!

-She LOVES to explore things with her feet.

-She loves string cheese. She would eat that all day if I let her.

-She is still on the binki. Time to say bye bye to that! (wish me luck)

-She loves to dance.

-She loves daddy's ipod/ipad and mommy's phone

-She can drink out of straws.

-She loves to kick around her inflatable soccer ball.)

-She is the size of a 2 year old... (well not quite but she is in 18-24 month clothes)

-She says "mamama" when she is tired or wants something.

-She is perfecting the dirty look face.  She is getting REALLY good at it!

We love you baby girl! Hope you had a happy birthday! 

I will post more bday/cake smash awesomeness in the next few days! 

Hope ya enjoyed my walk down memory lane!

Family Pictures

I have been slacking so badly! I have had these pictures for weeks now and I just haven't found the time to post them! So here they are! We got a bunch where Brielle is actually smiling which is shocking because she cried the whole time lol! But these are pictures taken by my good friend Melodie of Memorie Layne Photography! :) She did such a good job! We love them!

you can see more of her work at memorielaynephotography.blogspot.com :)

Thanks Mel!

Picture OVERLOAD!!

So I was cleaning up my SD cards and looking through all the pictures on my computer and I ran into a bunch of fun pictures lol I probably blogged some of these already but I wanted to post them today.  Brielle is getting way too big!!! She is almost 11 months old (she'll be one in a month!? WTF?!) This year has gone by so fast! She is so snoopy and curious.  She has 10 teeth with another molar coming in here pretty soon. At an appointment we went to a couple weeks ago she was 24 pounds :) She is kinda getting a little skinnier (she is still super chunky but she is a lot more active so she is kinda thinning out.) Anyways here are some fun pictures (They don't go in chronological order or anything)

Trying on uncle Ty's new glasses! She wasn't too much of a fan!

Before her hair got longer she had these cute little "wings" that stuck out from her head.  They were so cute! 

She is so silly.  She picks things up with her feet all the time! it makes me laugh! She is so weird with her feet!

My.favorite. EVER!!! She is so cute in these glasses.

She LOVES daddys ipod... and mommys phone... and grammies ipad... and anything she can get her hands on!

She is getting so tall!

Like, I said she is SNOOPY! she gets into everything! She likes to tear out all of her toys from the boxes we have them in.  She will pull out every single toy. Our house is a wreak.

She love my water bottle too. She gets more of it down her shirt than in her mouth but she still likes it.

She pulls some pretty cranky faces! I love it!

Her new favorite thing to do is crawl back and forth on our couches! it makes me laugh because she is speed crawling and giggling at herself haha so fun!

She decided she wanted to help me with the dishes!

She was as big of a fan of this hat as she was the sunglasses haha

Every time anyone has a drink with a straw she will throw a fit until you feed her with your straw.  So we have been pushing the straw drinking pretty hard for a while! Well she finally figured it out and we are soooo happy! now we just give her her cup when she sees anyone with a drink!

This one is kinda old but I love that face!! She has such a cute smile!!

Nice hat! (She hated it...)

This is what I get to wake up to in the morning! How can you not love that face!?

HAHA told you. She loves to pick stuff up with her feet!

She loves to chew on Ray's camopak! haha She will scream when you take it away. 

They weren't a fan of the double cart... but we thought they were sooo cute!

Marcus hated the glasses... he wouldn't stop crying! poor guy!

She also likes to go swimming! Grammy put up the kiddie pool and she played forever in that thing!

Oh I love the sleeping angel face! She is so calm when she sleeps and I love it! :)

We love her! She is a spoiled rotten, cranky, snoopy, red-headed clown baby and we wouldn't change it for anything! We love you BL!!

Family Pictures

Last night we got our pictures taken by my really good friend! This is a "sneak peak" and I am excited to see them all! When I get them I will be sure to share!

Here are a crapload of pictures

I am SUCH a slacker. I know I say that every time but it's just so true....  And since I suck at writing and don't really care to do it I will just show you what we have been up to.

Last month we went wedding dress shopping with my aunt and Brielle was having a blast climbing up on things and being crazy! She was a good sport though! She let me go to all 3 bridal shops and out to lunch and she didn't even get that cranky. She really is a good baby.  Her hair is getting long too.  and SUPER curly! She is our cute cute little red headed clown baby!

She knows how to give pretty good dirty looks already too! She decided she wanted to dump the container of puff things on her head and I wouldn't let her move until I took a picture lol. And this is what I got. Little stinker!

Right across the street from our apartment complex is a snow cone place. One day we decided to go get one (they were gross so we wont be going back..)  At least Brielle had a good time!

She LOVES the swings too we discovered. 

These pictures are a little blurry but they are the only ones that show her teeth! She has 5 already and I think she is getting another one in soon! 

On Sundays we like to go for walks around the huge park that is near our house. Brielle loves to be outside and it gives me a break from her snooping!

See she loves it! ;)

For our 3rd anniversary we decided that we really need to stop being fat lazy couch potatoes so.... We bought some mountain bikes and went for a ride! We have been talking about buying bikes for years and this year we decided to just do it. We borrowed a baby trailer from Rays sister and strapped Brielle in!

This was before our ride... I'm not so sure she liked it towards the end but at least she liked it for a minute! I have since bought one for ourselves (although it is not as nice as this one) and we are going to use it more often!

After our ride (I look gross but oh well..) Brielle was tired I think.

I made ray pose for a picture with his new bike! I forgot to get a picture of mine but it looks pretty much the same but it's the same color as my helmet!  anways, then later that night we went to see The Avengers! It wasn't that eventful of a day but it was fun.

Brielle is learning to pull herself up on things.  She can do it really well now! She even climbed up a stair at Ray's parent's house! CRAZY!!! 

Last weekend we went camping! It was Brielle's first official camping trip and I think she liked it! We wanted to go for a 4-wheeler ride since I hadn't been on in a couple years (since I was prego one year and then Brielle was a brand new baby the next).

Then we made a fire and roasted some marshmallows! 

We took this picture 5 times... and everytime someone was looking funny.. so don't mind our weirdness.

Brielle is a chocolate monster! Just like her mother!

All in all we have been doing pretty good! I have been sucking it up in my attempts to lose weight but I am pretty fed up with being fat lol so I intend to get serious this time.  I will be going on LOTS of bike rides and hopefully going to the gym more often. I will hopefully post more about that and maybe it will make me be able to motivate myself! But, for now that is all I've got! 

Enjoy.. or not! :)

Oh yeah.. I also have a website! It is still a serious work in progress but if any of you wanted to check it out it is www.marleedavisphotography.com  It is a long time coming but I finally got a new camera and  thought that it was about dang time!!
