FOUR WHEELING

Okay first off, I'm so behind on posting it's a little bit ridiculous. Oh well - what do ya do???

Second, Brianna still isn't really walking just yet. She takes a few steps here and there but she's just a big fraidy cat! :) When she's not thinking about it she does great and will walk half way across the room, but as soon as she realizes no ones holding on to her she's back on her knees. I'm still trying to get a video of it, but it happens so sporadically, it's hard to ever get a shot. (I guess I shouldn't have been so worried that I didn't have a camera when she took her first steps :))

Anyways, we went on a four wheeler ride a couple of weekends ago. It was so fun!!! I strapped Brianna into her Snuggie and we were off. Now don't worry when I say four wheeling - we're talking a really really easy ride - we're not quite that bad of parents. :) We went up on a logging road, so basically it was just a dirt road in the mountains, so no real hairy trail riding. (Not to mention that's my kind of riding too - I hate scary trails - I'm such a chicken!) Brianna had a great time looking at everything, and she loved the bumps. We stopped half way through, had a campfire and roasted some hot dogs for dinner.

Just startin out.

Our attempt at a family picture.

Dad cooking dinner.

Brianna's first hot dog - she loved it!

"Hey dad - can I drive?"Daddy's redneck girl.

So tired after a day of riding. She was asleep the whole last half of the ride - what a cutie!

It was such a great day!!! We're going to have to do this more often.

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY

Okay so I know that Bri's birthday was like 2 weeks ago, but I've been crazy busy around here and haven't had the time to load her pictures. So I finally have had some time today to get around to it so here are a TON of pictures of the fun filled day.


This was one of the cute new birthday outfits she got - I love the little alligator named Daisy.


She got Fox & the Hound and 101 Dalmatians movies.

A fun See & Say

Again like Christmas, she loved the wrapping paper!

A Leap Frog Music Table - a great noise maker. :)

She also got some cute bunny ears and this hilarious pink bunny that flops it's ears to music.

College fund money - perfect! :)

And a ton of adorable clothes. My parents couldn't wrap anything because they were coming on a plane. So she got to "unpack" a whole bag of clothes - literally one of her favorite things to do. She would grab something out and throw it over her head onto the floor.

I made cupcakes for her party. Here's a picture of the crazy "flowers" - I say crazy cause they were really cute as long as you looked at them from the top - from the sides they looked ridiculously stupid!

She wasn't too fond of her party hat.

Needless to say - she LOVED her birthday cake. It took her a minute to realize just what to do with it. But as soon as that sweet frosting touched her lips she was in heaven.



After she ate her cupcake she went CRAZY. It was so funny she cruised and cruised around the house for about 45 mins just jabbering and jabbering away - let's just say someone was one one heck of a sugar rush.

We also went to her 12 month check up this week - so here are her 1 year old stats.


Height: 29" - 50%

Weight: 20.7 lbs - 30%

Head: 18"

She did really good at the doctors, even though those darn immunizations stung really bad - poor thing. She also had to get her finger poked to check her iron level. They ended up having to poke her twice because she wouldn't bleed very well. It was really funny, she didn't cry at all, but after the 2nd poke she looked at the nurse gave her this scowl and screamed right in her face - it sounded just like "OOOWWWW". The whole room busted out in laughter - well except for Brianna.

Anyways that's about all - I still can't believe my baby is 1??? I swear just the other day I just found out I was pregnant - time goes way too fast. But I'm so blessed to be her mom and I'm so happy she's all mine. LOVE YOU FOREVER LITTLE MISS BRIANNA PAIGE - Our Little Brown Eyed Girl!!!
