Try Again

not sure why it did not work earlier today...

Thank God I live by family.

Well, what an eventful weekend. We took a little short vacation as we are staying at my parents house, yes only 6 minutes from our house but I am so thankful. Brent has been feeling really sick and finally went to the doctor. We got the blood results from his tests this weekend and he was told he is not able to leave the house, touch the baby or me. Thankfully my mom and dad were happy to have us at their house so I could get some help with both my "babies." Brent was eventually diagnosed with Mono and we are thankful it is nothing worse than that. We did not find out that until Monday and did have to wait the weekend out. Brent I think literally slept almost the entire weekend. Abrielle realized she enjoys playing with the flashlight and she thinks she is should be climbing stairs and pulling herself on everything. She sure tries hard. Anyway, I am just thankful I had help and yes Brent is feeling a lot better today!

More firsts

Well, Abrielle broke grandma's dish this week. OOPS. She had a pobsicle that was just water with a touch of white grape juice and she actually ate rice cereal. That was today, so we still are waiting for the results. She has been acting fussy since she ate so I DO NOT KNOW.... Hope all is going well.

Day in the life of a 6 month old!

Lots of pictures for our very busy little six month old. How the time has gone by so too fast. I sure have enjoyed these past six months with her. We had a great time celebrating six months. Our family from Brent's side came up to join us in the celebration. His mom, dad, Cassie, Carlos and Ramai all were here. Abrielle is crawling like Shamu. She pushes up into a push up position and lunges forward with her legs going up in the air like Shamu's tail. She actually has done real crawling for like three movements before lunging forward to her most desired objects (phone, camera, dog's bones and dog's toys). I think she thinks she is a dog. She loves their toys and she pants like she is a dog. She would rather play with them then me most of the time and they make her laugh, especially when they sneeze. Abrielle had her first banana as we enjoyed the banana desert made in her honor. She LOVED it. To top off all the fun, Brent threw me a surprise birthday party, no pictures from that fun time. We had a great time and Geraldine and Gil took the show with their great cooking, but we can not forget the mouthwatering cake Leslie made. I know there are a lot of pictures but I wanted to capture her 6 month day. Hope you all enjoy the pictures as much as I do.

Busy week

Well, this was sure a busy week for us. Abrielle took her second plane flight in her life, this time to northern California to visit my good friend from USC, Meghan and her husband Chris. We had a ton of fun and got to enjoy the beautiful northern California mountains. Abrielle got to see her first deer, as they were eating Meghan's plants in her front yard. I do not think she really noticed them. There were two cute yearlings too. Chris initiated the tradition of using the "grumpy" hat when Abrielle was fussy. We also got to spend time with the Moore's, how I miss Betsy so much. I was so sad to move from Gilbert and know I would not get to see spend time with Betsy all the time. How that was stressful. God knows me well though and has blessed me with a friendship with Geraldine up here. Geraldine is a lot like Betsy in that she takes good care of me and is such a good friend. God knows I need friends to "take care of me." I feel so loved. Abrielle did great and it was so refreshing to get to spend time with good friends.
