Invites are in the Mail

That's right, tonight before Brooke went up to take her bath and get into bed she sent out her birthday invites and her are some pictures of her going out to the mail box, so keep an eye out.

I can't believe that in one month my little girl is going to be having her 1st birthday!

SAMPLE

Here is a trial run a birth announcement for my SIL and Brother...

Baby Boy Finney

My brother David and SIL Carylon are having a baby and are due mid April. They went to the the Dr's this morning and found out that there little guy is breech. We are praying that he will fall in line and turn around. I can't wait see them all. My brother said that they will be coming down in July. I have not seen my brother since his wedding in May of 2007. It feels like it has been forever.

Lots of Info...

Well there have been lots of things going on. Yesterday was our last Sunday at KUMC. It was hard for us all, but really hard on Jason. He has put so much into the ministry for the students. It was hard to go. We know that God has bigger and better plans, we just are not sure what they are right now.

Brooke got a new car seat and took her first ride in it last Sunday. She loves it. I can't believe how big she is getting.

Brooke has also been starting to stand with out holding on to anything. She was doing it right before I took this picture.

One of Brooke's favorite things to do is to walk behind her shopping cart she got for Christmas. She is becoming a little pro at this and goes so fast and is able to turn it around.

A good friend from church bought Brooke these red shoes, (thanks, Carla) so of course we had to go shopping and buy a dress to go with it. This is what Brooke was wearing for church on Sunday.

Oh yeah.... one more thing.... Here are two pictures of her teeth. The first one is not in focus, because she did not want to stay still, but you get the picture.

Last week at KUMC

Well it has been a crazy week. Jason came home from work on Monday to inform me that there were going to be changes made at work. The youth department would be changing the way it did things. I was thinking to myself OK this could be really good. Boy was I wrong. He then informed me that he had a conversation with the head pastor and was told that as the youth department goes through the changes the first thing to change is there is no longer going to be 2 full time youth director positions. Yep you guess it, Jason position was the one being cut. I guess in these times no ones job is safe. The good news and yes there is good news, is that we were told that Jason was NOT leaving due to his performance. He was told that he has great leadership skills and will do great leading his own ministry. Of course I already knew that but it was great to hear that from someone in a lead Pastoral position.

Jason is sad to go and leave all the students behind, but we both know that GOD has bigger and better things in our path. We don't know what that is just yet, but we will be in prayer as the next several weeks unfold. For those that don't know, our last sunday will next sunday, March 8th.

We ask that you pray for us as Jason is in search for a new youth position.

10 months old Today!

I can't believe it... Brooke is 10 months old. This week has been crazy, but I will post about that later, so for now here are some pictures.

TP trouble

So we were getting Brooke's bath ready and when Jason turned around this is what we found.

We know... we are so in for it when she turns 2.

New Hair

So Brooke has her first set of pig tails and I got a mommy cut. Here are some pictures.

Happy Valentines Day

It's Brooke's 1st valentines day and I am happy to report that Brooke is feeling better. She is not 100% but you can tell that she is doing better. The bad thing is that Jason is pretty sick and is not feeling good at all. I think that he may have the flu now, but I am not a dr, so I am not sure. I did get up this morning and take some v-day pictures of Brooke, so enjoy.

Prayers Please

So after a very long night, Brooke could not sleep. (Poor thing just does not feel well). I checked her temp again this morning. It was 102.9, so I call and made her a dr apt. We went in and found out the she has the flu. She is not on all sorts of meds. All day she has just wanted to be in my arms, which of course I don't mind. I do feel bad for her though. I don't want my little one to feel so bad. I hope that her fever breaks and she is feeling better soon AND that Jason and I don't get it. Jason has not been feeling well today and we are hoping he just has a stomach bug. Please pray for us.

Rough Day

So Brooke got her 3rd tooth Yesterday! YES you have been reading this right. Brooke has had three teeth come in two weeks and there is another one working it's way in. Right now she is so not happy. She is running a fever of 102 and sleeping or just wants to be held. I feel so bad for her. I wish there was something I could do for her. I called the Dr and was told to give her tylenol, so Jason and I did. I just hope that she feels better soon.

New Tooth

Brooke got her second tooth today! She now has the bottom left and top Right. She spent the day hanging out with my mom who is in town and we had so much fun. She did not want to nap at all so she spent the afternoon pretty fussy, but over all she had a great day.

Were still here!!!

I know that it has been a month since our last blog, but we have been so busy. A lot has happened this past month. I can't believe that Brooke is now 9 months old. She is crawling everywhere. She loves to climb up the stairs. We had to install a gate at the bottom of the stairs since she is so fast. It seems like she is there before we know it. She is also cruising around all of the furniture. We went to the dr for her 9 month check up and she is now 19.6 lbs and 27.5 inchs. He said that she is doing great. She just got her First tooth, learned to clap her hands, and now can where a pony tail. Here are some pictures....
