Brock 5 Months Old

Holy cow!!! Time can slow down now... I barely have time in between months for his updates :) Brock is getting big! He is on solids now and totally loves it. He can sit for short periods of time without assistance and a long time with the boppy. He is grabbing everything, including my hair. I swear, I already am loosing hair from the pregnancy and now I am loosing chunks at a time in Brock's kung-fu grip! hehehe

He is still a very happy baby and bust out in the biggest giggle fits that I have ever seen! Brady and I love to watch him and Landon play. Brock thinks EVERYTHING Landon does is halarious! We tell Brock to stop encouraging his older brother's goofiness, but he does not listen! We love it all though. He is also one of the best little shoppers. He is yet to loose it while we are out running errands, as long as I carry him in the Snuggli! I pray that he keeps that up... I have enough to do to keep up with my little busy bee Landon.

Everyday that goes by, he gets more and more beautiful and we feel so blessed to have such a wonderful baby boy :)

Girls Weekend!!

I just got back from girls weekend and had so much fun!! I went with my mother-in-law, two sister in-laws and Brady's two aunts. We went up to Aitkin and stayed at a place right in town called The Loft. It is a really cute place with 2 bedrooms, kitchen and a big room with scrapbooking tables set up. We did a little shopping, scrapbooking, out to eat and A LOT of talking :)

This was the first time that I had ever been away from Brock overnight, let alone TWO nights! I did not think I was going to make it, but I did and had a fabulous time. Brady had everything under control, but said he really LOVES his job and even more after me being gone... so I think he now has an idea of what my days are like when he is at work.

If you can even believe it, I did not take one picture! Brady's mom took a couple, so if I can get my hands on them, I will definitely post them.

Here is a picture of the place that we stayed at :)

My New Blog :)

Look Who's Eating!!!

We went to the doctor a few weeks ago for Brock's check up and we got the okay from him to start Brock on solids since he has doubled his weight since birth and he is eating a lot of formula!! I am making all of his baby food and so far he loves it! Here are some pictures of him loving the green beans mommy made him :)

Meet NORRIS!!

We have a new addition to the family, a sweet guinea pig named Norris! Landon and I have been bugging daddy for a dog, but for all who know Brady, pigs may need to fly for that to happen! So, Landon I went to the MN Animal Humane Society one day to check out the "Small Animals" and we both fell in love with Norris. What a love bug!! He is so patient with Landon, who just wants to play and pet him. I have to be honest and say that I am completely in love with him too... he is kind of my second baby! At night when the kids go to bed, I will take him out to hold and pet him. We are actually looking for a cage mate for him, as guinea pigs do better in groups... so stay tuned to see if Norris gets a friend :)


Here are some pictures of Landon and Norris playing!

Landon Caught a "BIG ONE"

My parents took Landon out fishing last Saturday up at the cabin and he caught a nice size Large Mouth Bass!! He is such a good little fisher boy! He is putting the bait on all by himself, and as you can see in the video, he can pull in the biggest fish of the weekend :)

Trip to Lutsen

We took a trip to Lutsen, MN after the 4th of July and had an awesome time! We stayed at the Caribou Highlands Resort in the Lutsen Mountains and had a gorgeous view. We did soooo much... we had s'mores by the fire, went down the Alpine Slide, swimming, Landon went to Kid's Mountain Camp, hiked the Lutsen Mountains and went to Gooseberry Falls in Two Harbors. Landon and Brock had a lot of fun and both were exhausted at the end of every day. We have so many great memories :)

Happy 4th of July!!

We had an awesome 4th of July up at the cabin!! We went to the parade in town, swam, tanned, had a BBQ and went to fireworks. We were ALL exhausted at the end of the day :) Good times!!
