dinner ideas. plllease

Since i am home now with a baby i have been starting to cook a little more.finally, my poor husband. i really enjoy cooking if i have ideas of what to cook. so preston made a suggestion to just try one new recipe a week. that worked for two weeks...i am sick of making the same things over and over. and i am scared of trying new recipes before hearing from someone else that they really are good. i hate to make something and have it suck. soooo does anyone have new dinner ideas that they know are good. ANYTHING. i need lots and lots if im going to try one new one a week, fire away PLEASE.

brazia and her two cousins

Kiara and I have had fun taking pictures of our little girls. Swedyn loves her little sis Scotlyn and little cousin Brazia. here and a few of the MANY pictures we have taken, and will be posting.I LOVE OUR GIRLS!

Brazia Dae

I know I still haven't posted pictures of Brazia, but here she is!!! Here are her new born pictures that we had done shortly after we brought her home. She was born on March 11, 2011, 7lbs, 10oz, and 20 inches long. She has grown so much since we have brought her home. We love having her...great addition to our family!!! I'll will post updates when I get Internet set up at home.

bitter sweet

so today is my last day of work. for at least two months. my job has been so amazing for preston and i. i couldnt ask for better people to work for then Brett and Nicki Brewer. we love their kids like they are our own {that is until Brazia gets here} :) all of them are so amazing and so well behaved and make my work that much more fun! i am soo sad to leave them, but at the same time its for a very good reason, to have one of my own. i love every one of the Brewers and will miss them very much until i come back part time. bitter sweet day.

as for my baby...she is not coming out. i am due tomorrow and i have not dilated or anything so i am set up to go to the hospital late wednesday night {the 9th} if i get in.. and be induced Thurday sometime {the 10th}. five days later then i was hoping to hold my little girl, but as long as she is healthy and developed she can stay in there as long as she wants. one more week of sleep right!!!

just come.

Dear baby Brazia Dae. I already LOVE your guts and think you are the cutest thing in the world and i cant wait to meet you. all i can think about is the love i already have for you and cant wait to share with you, so please JUST COME. five day..maybe more, probably more. how much longer can you test my patience.

TEN MORE DAYS!!!

I know that all my posts have been baby pictures and all about my baby, but lately that is all that i think about. this picture was taken at 38 weeks, which now i am only down to 10 days until her due date. who knows when she will really come though, i keep waiting to feel that first contraction (not that i want to feel that). i am so excited to meet my little baby and finally put a face to her name and know the love of a mother. i always say i love the kids i nanny but everyone keeps saying wait until you have your own to love! which i believe with everything. i cannot wait to see preston as a dad. he is so good with kids and has such a love for them. he is going to be amazing. hopefully my next post is me with my baby girl in my arms. thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and given me such good advice throughout my pregnancy! wish me luck...YAY

~TUFF~ prestons vday present

Meet Tuff. Preston's Valentines Day present. Yes we already have a dog, and a baby coming in about 25 days! Is a puppy a good idea?? Probably not, but this is ALL Preston. He has to train him, feed him, clean up after him, everything. He is half German short hair and half English pointer...two bird dogs. Which is Preston's dream to have a little hunting buddy. I didn't want him at all but I will admit he is dang cute and cuddly and very good and smart for a 7 week old puppy. Hopefully I am not overwhelmed when Brazia gets here. I cant wait to see him in action with Prep out hunting. He already has his little camo collar and is starting his training. I cant wait for my baby though!!! count down of this month AHHHHH!!!!

31 weeks!!! only nine more to go

This is not a very cute picture. eww. but this was taken at 31 weeks. only about 8 more to go now!!!!!! Brazia is coming so soon and I am starting to panic a little. i definately don't feel prepared yet. maybe after the baby shower it will? wish me luck
