Can our lives get any crazier????

It has been a while since I have done anything!!! This summer has been so fun and I have been glad that I have been able to spend it at home with Brylee. She has been learning and doing so many new things. She is pulling herself up to everything in the house and this of course comes with a lot of falling and hitting her head. She loves to get into Cory's games and game systems, they are of course the first items she goes for. I am waiting for her to walk anytime, she loves to stand and can not quite figure out how to walk along things. She will walk with my grandmas walker and a toy at my moms, but she can't walk along the furniture yet. She is growing up to fast!! Her first birthday is on August 8th and I can't believe it. She is also starting to eat more foods. Our Doctor had us wait a little while to feed her solids and now she loves them! Cory of course likes to feed her the sweet things, marshmallows from the Lucky Charms, Ice Cream, Fudge Stripe cookies, and many other things. She is so fun and I am sad that it is almost time to go back to school.

Next, I start back to work in a couple of weeks. I have to attend the new teacher training next week since I only taught a half of year last year. So, I will do that and then it is back to work the next week. I am more excited to teach sixth grade now since I have been learning everything! I know that sounds crazy, but I have had to study up a little on some things. My team has been really willing to help me and luckily they are patient!!! There are so many mixed feelings because I love being a mom and yet I love being a teacher and so what better way to get to help kids and well as spend the whole summer with my family.

Cory and I celebrated our 5th anniversary on July 12th. He suprised me by taking me to the Stein Ericksen Lodge for the night. We had a great time just being together. It was hard to leave Brylee and I was missing her!!! The lodge was so nice. It is too bad that we aren't rich and can't stay there more often. I can't believe it has been five years already. He is so amazing and patient with me. I still remember when we went out in 9th grade and then we stayed best friends through high school. Then of course, we started dating a month or so before his mission. I am extremely glad that I have been blessed with him in my life!!! I love him so much!!!!

The 24th of July was fun, as usual. My cousin and her friend came from California and so it was great to spend some time with them. We watched the parade, did craft projects, played games, and of course ate lots of food. It is always fun to have them come for Fiesta Days.

And last--- I have been extremely sick this summer!!!!!!!! I am sure that most of you know what that means--- yes, I am pregnant!!! again!!!! Cory and I laugh because we waited forever to have Brylee and we weren't even prepared to have her and then I swore that I would never be pregnant again because I was so miserable, and obviously there are other plans for us. I am 13 weeks along and am finally starting to feel a little bit better. We are due on January 31st. We aren't sure how we are going to make things work, but I just hope this pregnancy is easier than my first one. We had an ultra sound a few weeks ago and it was good!! I just can't believe that I am doing this again, so fast.

All of the pictures we have taken lately are on Cory's camera and so I will have to post them later.
