Just a funny, random, post!

So, I was just looking through our pictures, and came across these photos of when I was pregnant. I can't believe how BIG I was. I was HUGE! I always tell Bobby I know how much he loves me because of the fact that he went around town with such a big wife! HA! I love him!! Anyway, Every time my family got together, my mom would take a picture of the three prego girls. (Always the same pose!) I found out I was pregnant in July, then my two sisters DeeDee and Dayna announced they were pregnant as well! DeeDee was 10 weeks behind me, and Dayna was 5 weeks behind DeeDee. It was a lot of fun being pregnant all together! So, here are just some fun pictures that we took.
This was taken at the end of Dec. I was 6 months pregnant.

This one was taken 3 days before I delivered. Look how low my belly got. (And BIG)Here, Brody is 1 1/2 weeks. DeeDee is 7 months and Dayna is 5 1/2

DeeDee had Braxton. He's about 2 weeks. Brody is 10 weeks older than him.Dayna had Cole.. he's about 3 weeks, here. He's 2 weeks behind Braxton.

So, There you have it! A funny, random post. Now, you all know that there are only 3 grandchildren on my side, and they are all boys, all born within 3 months of eachother All born on a Wednesday!! It sure is fun!

He's getting so big..

I can't believe how ACTIVE Brody is. It's crazy! It's almost like he changes overnite. He use to hate being on his stomach for tummy time, now he rolls over onto it and plays with toys. He puts his arms straight and lifts his head very high. He turns himself as well. It's so fun to watch him. When I hold him sometimes, he grabs my face and finds my mouth and tries to eat it! He has quite the personality already. The other night, we had fed him some cereal and before I even got him out of his highchair, he was asleep.He loves his Daddy. As soon as Bobby gets home, he's as happy as can be! He just plays with Bobby until dinner is ready. Sometimes, Bobby will play his football game on Gamecube, and Brody just sits there and watches. He loves football. Uh-Oh! He loves faces too, and it's so cute when he reaches out to grab your face! It makes you feel like he wants a hug, and then as soon as you do, he backs away. He's such a boy! I just want to squeez him, but he doesn't always like it! He will someday! Right now he's just a little too active to enjoy sitting still. What a fun boy!

Are you ready for this??

nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh! I just feel like singing! And cheering. For some reason, that song reminds me of cheerleading. I must have had a routine with that in it! Anyway, I asked if you were ready for this because I have to catch up on sooo much! (It seems that all of my blogs go this way) I need to be better at blogging. Friday, I woke up to Bobby still next to me and it was 6:30. He's usually on his way to work by then. He surprised me and took the day off. He even had the whole day planned! He took me to breakfast and then we went to the zoo. It was such a fun day! My two boys! "Ghost of the Bayou" (A White Alligator- very cool! Only 10 in the whole world.)

Me and Bobby "measuring" up to a Gorilla!! HUGE!

Bobby also told me on Friday that he had taken off Monday and Tuesday as well!! YEAH! I love it when he takes time off from work. It's so much fun to have him home. On Monday we went to Park City and shopped at the outlets.. It's kinda funny how we came home with bags full of clothes for Brody, and NONE, I mean, NONE for us! Oh well! His clothes are a lot cheaper than ours would've been. Tuesday we just hung around the house, went and watched the cars, and that's about it! It was nice to relax! This last week Brody began to roll over (to the left) and he's able to sit up if you're right there by him! He's so much fun! He turned 5 months last Monday and weighed 15 lbs at the dr a couple of weeks ago. He's getting so big. Here are some pictures of him (I started giving him a little bit of Rice Cereal last week. He loves it!)

Messy face after eating some cereal!

It's been a while..

I haven't put up a post for quite some time. I'm not super busy or anything...what's my deal?! Here's some catching up- My parents came up for my nephew Braxton's baby blessing last weekend. It was fun to see them, but the trips always go way too fast.Here is a picture of them with their three grandsons! Brody, Braxton, and Cole.

Kris came by to borrow a memory foam thing that you lay newborn's in. It is such a wonderful thing! We used it all the time for Brody, until he grew out of it. While I was waiting for Kris to come by and pick it up, I layed Brody in it and took a few pictures. The first one is of him in it when he was a newborn, the second is him now- he got so BIG! My little baby!



Kris and I did a little swap. She has my memory foam thing and I have her Exersaucer. It's a nice trade-off! Brody absolutely loves the Exersaucer! He can spin himself around to play with all of the toys- and he loves being able to stand up. He looks at the toys and yells! He's so funny and he's getting loud!
Brody turned 5 months yesterday! I can't believe it! He started rolling over on Monday! He's been rolling onto his side for quite a while, but on Monday while he was on his side, I looked at him and he just rolled.. right onto his belly! It's so cute! He loves to do it! I'm so proud of him!!Here is a picture of him sleeping on his belly this morning. I went in when I got up and he was asleep like this- he's a silly boy. My little Rolley Polley!

Still Sleeping

Well, It's 10:53 AM and Brody is still sleeping. I just went in to check on him and sat down in my green comfy chair (I absolutely LOVE that thing) and just rocked... I love watching him. He's the sweetest boy! I can't believe how big he's getting! He'll be 5 months old on Tuesday. MAN! Time goes by so fast. He has quite the personality! He loves to just yell at things and hit them. Not in a mean way! He just loved to make noise and has recently figured out his hand can do some pretty wacky stuff!! OOOOOOHHH! I just love him! He's so smiley! He's laughing quite a bit. It's the BEST- this parenting stuff! I'm so glad I get to figure it all out with the love of my life, Bobby! He's the best, too! Aww.. I'm all mushy this morning. :) Anyway, nothing much has been going on around our house! We went to a BBQ at my in-laws last night- it was fun! Nothing else happened... nothing at all! Oh- we made some Jam. That's always fun! Peace out!

Just let me VENT!

You know when you're in one of those moods where someone makes you sooo mad you could just SCREAM!!!!!! Yep, I'm in one. I have been having to deal with Gold's Gym for the past couple of months and absolutely loathe them! That's right, LOATHE! (I learned that word from The Grinch- I love that movie!) Anyway, Gold's Gym is so freakin' shady. They just take your money (Sorry, Emily!! I know you go there, but BEWARE!) They keep telling me one thing, so I fix it, then they say something totally different. AHHHH!! If you haven't noticed, I have just added a list to my Blog site of places I would never recommend. Golds' is in the top 5! (there are only 3!! HA!- as of today) Burt Brothers Tires (in Farmington, rips you off big time, too!) Also, Kid to Kid is a joke. How ridiculous! Ohh, I'm steaming. It's nice to have my blog to Vent on. I hope everyone is having a great day! Don't let this post get you down. It's really just frustration! I'm still a happy little camper- I just want to scream out loud to everyone and take Gold's DOWN TO THE GROUND!!!! GRRR.... Well, that helped! I feel much better now. Keep a lookout for more Non- recommendations! Feel free to leave a comment on any you want added to my list. Oh! I just thought of one more! On the Boarder Mexican restaurant. YUCK! Anyway, Bobby is coming home early today- we have dentist appointments. I'll write a happy review later! Love you all! :) I'm smiling!! Happy Erica, Happy Erica!! ...

It's been too long...

Well, I've been trying to figure out what's been going on this week, but there hasn't been a whole lot. It's been a while since I last posted anything.. Wednesday we went to Bobby's Grandma's funeral- which was Beautiful! Afterwards we went to a luncheon and then home. My high school friend Diedre came by because she was in town. That was fun! I hadn't seen her since my wedding. But, Bobby got work off- that was nice to have him home for the day!! Tonight my parents are coming into town for my nephew Braxton's baby blessing on Sunday. I'm excited to see them!! It's been about a month since we went down to Vegas. Brody is getting so big! He's a blast. He has quite the personality, that boy!! He loves to smile and laugh and scream (yell) (Drink some Diet Pepsi!- that's a funny picture huh?) and lately, he's been hitting. He just takes his right hand/arm (I think he'll figure it out with his left soon!) and waves it up and down and hits whatever he can- his knee, his dad, a bag of chips... he's so funny!! What a sweet boy! I'm just going to post some pictures because this blog is a little boring. OH! Here's a funny story. Last night, Bobby told me that he was talking to a guy at work and the guy was asking him what my hobbies are? First of all... I don't ever know what to say my hobbies are. I'm not really THAT into anything to the point where I would consider it a hobby. (Such as Golf for Bobby's hobbies) (that rhymes!) When I was younger I would have said my hobbies were cheerleading and gymnastics, boys, and shopping. But now, I would probably say.. my family, cooking?? Hmm... I'm pretty boring. Well, Bobby understands how boring I am, because his answer to the guys question was... "She likes to Blog!" BLOG!! That's what his answer was! Oh boy! My poor poor husband. Maybe I should get into something..Any suggestions?? (I have some golf clubs- maybe I'll try it out again with Bobby!)
