Sick Baby Girl!

So Miss Brooklyn has been sick the past couple days. She came home from school on Monday with a fever and as of 1:30 pm it had spiked again to 103 degrees! She also has a yucky cough and ear infection! We're crossing out fingers that her temp will stay down once she is up tomorrow! I hate seeing her like this. She is not herself at all- she just layed on the floor this morning watching cartoons and she has Never done this! Send some get well vibes our way!!

Here's a couple of pics of her!

Pumpkin Carving

So Miss Brooklyn is sick :( so she went to bed early tonight. Brendan and I decided to get our pumpkin and carve it! Brendan was such a big help and got most of the guts and seeds out. I then scraped the sides and got the rest out.

Brendan picked out a cute face for it and helped me trace it out and then cut everything out. He did a great job this year!! Here are some pics of the fun and of Brendan!

I'll get some pics of Brooklyn with the pumpkins tomorrow!!
Brendan with his big pumpkin, his & Brooklyn's little ones and the funny face one he got!

We just got our brand new computer so this is one of the few pics I have on it!

AHHHH eBay!!!

SO I don't buy on eBay too often but when I find something I want, I HAVE to have it!!! I found this dress and fell in love with it... I was watching it and decided to bid last minute... well somebody else was too. I set myself at a limit but as usual I went over!! Ugh!
Oh well Brooklyn is going to look so darn cute in the dress!! I can't wait to get it. Now I have to get a bow or something for her hair to go with it!!
Maybe Tiffany can make me one with her new skill!!
Here is the link to a pic of the dress!

Why can't every night go so well?!

Most week nights I am going from the time we walk in the door till after 10 pm!
Tonight we came home, I put dinner in the oven and sat down to feed the baby. Brendan got all of his homework done fast and got in the shower. I got the baby ready for bed and then her and Brendan got to play for about 25 mins. She came crawling over and was so tired so I gave her a kiss and put her in bed at 7:30!!! She never goes to sleep this early.
After I put her down, our dinner was ready and Brendan & I got to eat and just hang out!! It was nice. Then we hung out some more while I got stuff ready for tomorrow. I was able to sit down about 8:30 for some computer/TV time.
Wow it was a great night!!! Now I just need to get to bed at a reasonable time!! It never happens!!! lol

Until I post again.....

Counting Down....& Great News!!!

So we have less then 2 months till James is home!! We are so excited. It's been such a busy year but it's almost over! AND Great news for James- he passed his sergeant exam! He hasn't been pinned Sgt yet but should be soon after he comes home! So happy for him as he worked his butt off for this and totally deserves it!! So now we have to decide what we will do. We're still not sure if he will re-up or what.

I'll keep everyone up on what he decides and when he will be home!! YAY!

It can never be just one thing!

So I am excited to get my blog started. It's been a long time coming... lol
Finally going to start it!

So today Brooklyn's school called me to come pick her up since she was sick (threw up twice). Drives me crazy as babies can throw for anything!! Even my dr. laughed about the policy as who knows what it could be. Well at least I got to come home for the afternoon to hang out with my baby girl and pick Brendan up early from school as a car rider. Brooklyn of course was fine the rest of the day and night so she will be back to school tomorrow at 12:30 pm so I can get some work done!

So it seems there can never be just one thing in my days that dont go smoothly!
My dad was admitted into the hospital today. He has been in quite a bit of pain so he finally decided to go into the hospital to figure out whats going on! Keep him in your prayers!! I will update on how he is.

So that was my day in a nutshell! lol
