New Header!!

Yay! I did a new header to have pictures of both my beautiful girls and I did it all by myself!! I am so proud that I have started to learn how to do things in photoshop!!

I had this video in photobucket from a while ago and I have been meaning to post it here, but I've been lazy. It's Alyssa saying her alphabet. You might have to turn up your volume, because she starts to whisper! And don't mind my messy house. It was a lazy Sunday morning!

I hope it works!!

Have a great weekend!! We have my nieces 1st birthday party tomorrow. I can't believe she is turning one. This year has really flown by so fast!

And one last thing, please keep my sister in your prayers that her baby is still well and alive. She had her 1st doctors appt and they couldn't see a heartbeat. They are checking her hormone levels to see if they are accelerating like they should. She should get the results back by Monday. It's going to be a long weekend!

Blanking out here

Sometimes I will sit and work and think about all the things I'd like to blog about. Sometimes I will think while I'm working out about things to blog about. But then I get on the computer I blank out.

So, I guess I will talk about the random things...

Morgan had her 4 month checkup last week. I was told to start rice cereal, but never got a chance to until just yesterday. She actually does pretty well. She gets pissed after about the 3rd bite that it isn't as instantly gratifying as a bottle is, but she doesn't have terrible tongue reflex action going on like Alyssa did at first. Morgan weighs 12 lbs and 2 oz. (Alyssa was 15.5 at 4 months). They were both the same height though. Both tall in the 75% for height. We think Morgan is teething, which I hadn't prepared myself for. Alyssa was 8 1/2 month before any teeth came along. I thought I had a few more months before those little buggers started popping up. We will see how long it take for them to actually poke through. So, my little peanut is growing up way too fast for me.

We got a date set for Morgan's baptism...August 13th and I am so excited about finally having this on the way. I am currently making up a personable invitation in photoshop for it. I think it is going to come out really cute too!! We are going to make a lunch tray and have different salads for our luncheon after the ceremony. Morgan is going to wear Alyssa's dress. I think that is very special that they get to share the same dress.

I went to my 10 year high school reunion. I was a little nervous about going. I actually almost didn't go, but a couple friends of mine said they were going and so at the last minute we decided to go. I had a really good time. I had wanted to lose a little more weight before I went, but decided that I am going to blow everyone away at the 15 year reunion!!

Gary is currently working with his dad on getting the electric installed in our garage. They put up the garage door opener tonight and I am so damn excited. I got one of the clickers for my car and in the winter I'm actually going to get to park in there! They did an awesome job and I am so proud of both of them for working so hard on this project. It looks like it is a pretty tough job. They have to hang the lights and then it is done! Then we will have to work hard to clean it up for the baptism party coming up. It is so exciting that everything is finally coming together.

Dreams

I wanted to write about this for a week or so, but haven't had a chance.

I had a dream about my soon to be SIL (the one I was going to ask to be godmother). In the dream we had gotten into a huge fight. We were yelling and screaming at each other and I was so upset. I don't remember what had started the fight, but I do remember amongst our anger towards each other, she had made the comment that I probably wouldn't want her to be Morgan's godmother because her mom would have to put pictures of Morgan all over the place. (I know, silly, but funny in a way.)

I had gone to my step-brother and he stuck up for me, but my SIL still didn't want to have any part of the baptism. In the dream I felt stuck and I didn't know who I'd chose (since I already was having a tough time). Some time skipped in the dream and I realized that I had chosen one of my dearest, closest friends to be the godmother. She isn't Catholic. I believe she is Christian, (I'm not 100% sure). She does go to church on occasion and has since she was a little girl.

After waking up, I realized that the dream had happened for a reason. Subconsciously, I knew I should pick my life-long friend and not someone I felt I needed to settle for. Why did this not come to me while I was awake....I have no idea.

So, I decided and talked to Gary. We decided we would chose my friend. I asked her within 2 days of the dream and she seemed so excited. She seemed surprised (being that she is a different religion), but definitely surprised. I loved to see the look on her face as I asked her. It was such a joy to have picked the right person in my eyes. It was such a relief to me.

I did also ask my step-brother and he also seemed very honored and touched that I chose him.

I now feel so good about my choices. Don't get me wrong, I love my soon to be SIL, but I worried that my chose was out of necessity, not out of want, which proved to be true once I realized that there was someone else as an option.

Now, all I need to do is call the church and get a date planned. I need to get my butt moving, especially if I want to have the baptism in August!! This summer is already flying by!
