Belle caught her first fish

We all headed to the farm this afternoon. Blake wanted to check his trail camera for pictures of deer. We all went fishing. Belle was in her car seat to start with. Then she got mad so I took her out and was holding her. I wanted to still fish so I held her and threw a green head jig. I've been trying to perfect it. On the second cast we caught one. We had a winner! It was HUGE! for Belle. She was sooo excited and happy to be able to go fishing let alone to get a fish. Daddy was so proud.! Over all the fishing wasn't to good. I caught a big 8 ouncer and Blake got one about 12 oz. Over all Belle had fun on the paddle boat.

Blake checked his trail camera and look at what the boys have to look forward too! The first picture has two bucks, left one has really nice antlers and the other is smaller. The second picture is a nice buck on the right with a dow. I can't wait for hunting season to hear all the BIG stories about these bucks that got away! LOL I did tell Blake we are running out of room on the wall for little antlers, so from here on out he's only allowed the BIG ONES!!

We got a roller!

So yesterday we were doing tummy time and Belle was looking around and talking to mommy. Then all of the sudden she got her leg up and pushed herself over. YAY! Blake was getting ready for work so he didn't see it. I rolled her back to her tummy and tried to let her do it again. She rolled to her side for a second then finished it off. She was giddy and happy. Smiling at me when she saw me! I was so excited for her! I tried to grab the video camera but by then she wasn't having anymore of it. But mommy was vary proud of her big girl. She's found her fingers and love to play with them, so I knew it was only time before she did something big!

Hi Everyone

Hi everyone! We love you all and miss you too! I know it's been a while. Sorry! We've been getting alot of out door time in while it's still nice. Belle went to her first auction on Saturday. She wanted a bike but it went for WAY to much! Blake got a lawn sweeper and Brent an extension ladder. There were so many people there. Belle is getting big. She's been able to hold her head up alot better. She has found her hands. She will grab her shirt and pull on it. You can see the picture where she pulled it up to her face. She likes to suck on them. Blake was practicing his bow so we sat outside, she loves the warm weather. We also have my parents dogs this week while their on vacation. Blake's not to happy but I love them! Belle already loves to watch the dogs! I think it's all their different colors and the noise they make when they're playing. She'll be able to ride Duke before long. Belle loves her baths. Her hair is getting so long and curly so I combed it straight up. Saturday Blake and I went for a motorcycle ride so Grandparent Parkers watched her. They also had cousin Josie. Belle loves her cousin giving her kisses and Eskimo kisses (she'll say "nose, nose, nose" while rubbing their noses together) it's so adorable!! But they all went up to the park to play and Belle got her first swing ride. Here are some adorable pics of her so I hope you enjoy!

We are lucky to be alive!!

Tonight we all went to the lake like any other time. Well we had a few things happen that did not need to happen! Blake was driving the boat while my dad skied. We were coming out of a turn and the boat felt like it was going to flip! We were scared to death. We didn't even know why it happened. We thought it was the moder not in the water enough. Well the next time my dad went we were going the opposite way and right about out of the turn the boat almost capsized. We stopped and I told my dad that we would have to take Belle off the boat and he needed to figure out that was going wrong before she could get back on. It seriously scared the s*$# out of us!! My heart was racing and I thought here we go. How do I save Belle if we go over? We got her off and my dad took it for a run and he couldn't find anything wrong. We think Blake was letting go of the wheel out of the turns and it was pulling itself back to the right to fast. He needed to keep a hold of the wheel the whole time. It's not like steering a car. But besides that we had an awesome time at the lake. Blake slalomed skied for the first time. (Skiing on one) I was SO proud of him. It's not an easy thing to do and he went for it all on this own.

Hangin' with Mommy!

Blake had to work tonight. There were guys that took vacation so he filled in. Belle and I had fun tonight. I cooked dinner, she got a bath, we watched TV, and just hung out! She has been more tired then usually after having her shots yesterday. She slept alot during the day and is now fighting pooping and a little bit whinny. But she's still being a good girl. She hasn't pooped in two days so tomorrow dad and mom look out here it comes!! I know it isn't anything but Belle will pull her bink out of her mouth and hold it in her right hand. I don't think she realizes that she is holding it but it is still cool to see her pull it out and holding it! She's also drooling more then usual. She'll go days and then all of the sudden drool like a faucet. There are some fun pics of us hangen' tonight!!

2 Months Check Up

Belle had her two months check up today. When we got there they pulled us into the back to inform us that we have to see the doctor before getting the shots. I told her that I thought that's what I made our two months check up and shots appointment. She told us she'll see what she could do. They realized that the little girl working there was making appointment wrong. Apparently doctor visits and shots are done as two separate appointments. We were supposed to make two appointments at the same time. They were really nice about it and got us in. Belle is now 23in long and 12lb 7oz. She is growing on the right track. Her length is normal, her weights is above average, and her head is below average. So she's nice and proportioned. Blake and I decided to get her shots spaced out. I do have a fear of her getting autism or something. I know it's not likely but I worry all the same. They told us we could do what we feel comfortable with. Today she had to get three. They were ones that at her age she needed them before it was to late. She got two in the same leg and one by mouth. She didn't care to much for them. She cried hard core and then eventually calmed down. She has been a little fussy tonight. Blake had a little birthday party for me. We enjoyed Chinese food and birthday cake with some ice cream. I love having family and friends over to our house. I still can not believe that I'm now 25!

I'm 25! Freak Out!

My 25th birthday has always been a big one in my eyes. I'd look you to people that were 25 and think they're so mature. Now I'm that person. I can't hope and feel so incredibly blessed when I look back at all I've gotten and I'm only 25. A wonderful doting husband, a beautifully healthy baby girl, a lovely house, a job, money, and family and friends around me that love me! I think it's good to take retrospect of your life a remind yourself how luck we all really are. I am looking forward to the next 25 fun filed years of my life. I guess I was right 25 was a big one. My life and birthdays will never be the same from here on out. I'll aways something big going on.

This is me at 2months. That is how old Belle is now.
