So some weeks it may seem like I make a post everyday, that is what I like to do but I have a big problem with windstream!!!! Our connection is dropped so much remember a couple weeks ago when i was complaining? Well they came out and fixed it but it is doing it again!! Hopefully I will be able to finish this post before it drops again, it is so aggravating!! So that is why I haven't blogged lately because 95% of the time when I sit down to get on the connection is dropped or lost..

Anyways we have had beautiful weather here in KY this week, it already feels like summer!!! On Saturday we went car shopping, I have no idea what I want, I just want more room. Well I know I want an SUV I just don't know what one. So we went and looked and got some prices , I'm just still going to keep looking. Anyone who drives an SUV, what kind do you have, give me the pros and cons it may help in my search!

We also added a new addition to our family, a little puppy. An Australian Shepard and she is adorable. She is spotted and has blue eyes. My husband wanted her, he named her cocoa, but of course every time I step outside she is on my feet, oh well she is pretty cute.

On Sunday after church my husband went and got flowers to plant, he got so many way too many but we got them planted and then after we did that we went swimming! Yes swimming, we opened the pool a couple weeks ago and we got in it, yes it was cold but it felt so good because it was 90 degrees here on Sunday!!

Yesterday Me and Brody tried to be outside for the most of the day and I had some friends come over and we sat on the front porch.

Brody is doing great as we speak it is 9:30 here and he is still asleep!!! Well he woke up about 8:45 and wanted to eat but did not want to wake up and get out of bed!! He is a sleepy little guy today! It is already pretty out so were goanna go try and enjoy some more sunshine, I think it's supposed to start raining this evening:(

Brody loves being outdoors, he just loves it!! I still do not have a new camera and the funny thing is my dad's needs a new battery and my moms is broke too.. so none I can even borrow..I am trying to hold out until Mother's Day, it's hard really hard. Brody is growing before my eyes!!!

Blog name?

Thanks for all the help on the nursing cover, I think I'm going to go with the paisley one!! I love it and of course it would be best if I ever have a little girl!!

So I was wondering if anyone knows how I can change my blog name? I know that it still is Baby Boy Roland on the way and he is here as we all know..haha I thought I knew how to fix it and changed it but I guess not.. does anyone know how??? Please help!

Which Nursing cover would you pick?

So I had asked about a nursing cover and Momma over at the Trout family http://trout-family.blogspot.com/ had told me she had ordered one from modestmommycover.com and I went and it was just what I am looking for, thank you!!!! They have all kinds of cute fabric designs but I need one that is a little "boyish" so I found two I really like and I just can't decide, help me!!!

Battery Depleted

BATTERY DEPLETED OH NO!!! My camera battery was dead so I put it on the charger last night before we went to bed and I turned it on this morning to upload new pictures and a big red screen came up that read "BATTERY DEPLETED" could someone please tell me what this means? Does it mean this...??or maybe even this???? I am trying to fix it, I am recharging it again and gonna try. I do love my little HP camera but I can't go very long without a camera with Sweet Little Brody, I HAVE TO TAKE PICTURES ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!! We will see! Has anyone else has this problem?
Here is one new picture I have of Brody Luke, it was taken off my phone. This is him in his new ball cap, I love hats. I always have to have a hat on him and all of his little toboggan hats are getting too small, so I found this one and another one and thought they were too cute!

Well starting last night were trying a new routine. Timmy is now back to work, yay! I am not sure if I had really mentioned it much but he got laid off when Brody was 2 weeks old, we have been praying hard and the Lord provides. He got another job at a different location with the same company, so it was wonderful. He just has an hour drive instead of 30 minutes, not bad. So we got into bed earlier last night and then when Timmy woke up this morning at 5:00 that is when Brody normally wakes up for a feeding anyway so we just got up and I cleaned the house a little bit, fed Brody and we got back in the bed until 8:30, it was so nice. I kept telling Brody how lazy we were being. We miss Daddy being at home with us but were excited he got another great job and he is so glad too!!! He was so excited to be going to work this morning!!!

I have a question for mothers out there...

What kind of nursing cover do you use? I am on the lookout for one, I didn't ever get one for Brody I just would throw a blanket over me but it is getting harder to do that where he is bigger and moving around a lot more so I am looking for a nursing cover. Let me know the good ones out there!! I want to make sure it is long enough, and thin! Let me know!!

Easter Sunday

Here are pictures from Easter Sunday, we went to church , egg hunt ( Brody slept on his dad), and then to my parents for Lunch with a bunch of my family. We went to Timmy's dad's for a cookout that evening. It was a wonderful Easter, and a beautiful day just how I imagined it would be like when Jesus had risen. Happy 1st Easter Brody Luke!!!




We weren't able to get a good family picture of all 3 of us but this is the closest we got!

My uncle Joe, cousin Rachel and Brody

Some of my family at the egg hunt

It was cold and Brody slept on his dad the whole time, he wasn't into the egg hunt, maybe next year?

My nephew Zachary, Brody, and my 1st cousins little girl Estella, we never could get a good picture!

Brody Luke

Me and Brody

Daddy and Brody

Brody in his other Easter outfit, he was my little Easter Bunny!
My worn out little bunny at the end of the day

Brody's 1st Easter Bunny Visit

Brody of course had his first visit from the Easter Bunny, he loved it! He was laughing and "talking" the whole time!! He was Mommy and Daddy's little Easter bunny for the day!! I will always teach the real meaning of Easter and why we really celebrate to Brody as I already read him the real Easter story this year. But I will always throw in all the fun stuff of the Holiday too!!!

Coloring Easter Eggs

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend, we sure did!!! So much went on and so many pictures I'm going to recap the Fun of Brody's First Easter in a couple posts.

On Saturday evening we colored Easter Eggs and of course we had to include Brody in the fun!!

Family Fun Saturday

We are having a wonderful family fun day today!! It's a beautiful day so we have been outside all day!! We got the pool opened (yay), sat on the deck, even had a bonfire and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for lunch request of my nephews Zach and Landon.

We went out last night to Toro Loco to celebrate my oldest sister Tisha's Birthday, lots of fun!!

My poor sister Lindsey has poison ivy so bad, her face was so swollen this morning one of her eyes was swollen shut, its the worse cause of poison ivy I've ever saw, so you probably won't be seeing her in any of these pictures, shes not really in the picture taking mood. But my bro-in law did have a steroid shot with him so she got a shot and seems to be doing better.

Brody is up from his nap back outside for more family fun!!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter weekend!!!

Good Friday

Today is Good Friday, what a wonderful day!!! This day is a very special day a long with Easter Sunday make sure to remember the true importance and have a great Easter weekend!!!!

Today all the family will be coming in and we are going out for Mexican tonight to celebrate my oldest sister Tisha's birthday and tomorrow I am sure we will just play around and color Easter eggs and then Church on Sunday and lunch at my parents and then I am sure we will head over to Timmy's family.

Our house needed cleaned so bad, I tidy every day and my house is always clean because I am OCD about it, but it really needed deep cleaned so I put Brody to bed and at 10:00 me and Timmy started cleaning we quit at about 12:30 we will finish today. It was funny though because our guest bedroom is more like my closet ( we never have guests) so Timmy wanted it cleaned he was going throughll my things telling me I hadn't carried this purse in a year and wore this in a couple months, it was funny. He said my drawers were puking out clothes, we got it cleaned and he stuff a lot in my closet so I will have to clean that out next. I will be posting some things on ebay!

Brody has a big thing on chewing/sucking on his little hands, he loves his paci but here lately he wants his hands!!!! Its kind of cute but I really don't want it to be a habit!!

Brody is daddys lil guy, he loves his daddy so much!!!

Brody is napping, I need to get up and try to finish my cleaning!!

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!!!!!!!!

Brody+Smocked Easter outfit= A mess

So yesterday was Brody's appointmen at Wal-mart just to get a package of Easter pictures in his adorable little Easter outfit at a cheap price. I had a pretty relaxed and easy morning and really didn't have to rush at all. I was able to get a long shower and get ready and I got Brody ready and laid him down for a nap. It was about 30 minutes until we needed to leave so I woke him from his nap changed him into his adorable Easter outfit and was going to feed him and put him in the car seat. As I was feeding him I heard him tooting, passing gas? What's the best word? I thought Oh no... I quickly unbuttoned the bottom of his outfit and pulled it up his back and let him continue. So I got up laid in him in his crib so he could do his business, I was walking and I looked down and had a wet spot on my blue jeans. Oh and let me remind you I have only one pair of blue jeans that fit me at this time, then I runt o look at him and he has pooped all up the back of his adorable baby blue Easter outfit, OH NO!!! I took it off and put it in the washer on my fast cycle covered in dreft stain remover thinking I could maybe get it washed and dried in time to still make it, nope sure didn't. I had to wash it 2 times and use shout gel, the dreft didn't work. I called and re-scheduled for today at 10:30, wish me luck!!! Seriously though, I have a little boy on my hands!!!!

Here are some pictures I was always to snap real quick before all of this happened! My little sweetie!!!

Look what I found yesterday!!! A little pair of Sperry's for Brody for this summer!!!!!

I just couldn't resist!!

Thanks Windstream!

Thank you windstream!!!!!!

We had such a beautiful day here in KY yesterday, so warm 75 degrees and then today it is cold cold cold and rainy!!! I want warm weather all the time, come on spring!!! I hope it is warm on Easter!

Brody loves his grandma and grandpa LeMaster!!!!!

I went Easter shopping with my mom today to help her get things for baskets. For those that don't really know a whole lot about me, my family is pretty big. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. I have 2 brother in laws (almost 3) and 2 nephews. We will all be at my parents for Easter Sunday and of course we all still get a basket. The women at the check out line at wal mart said "Wow you must be done getting things for awhile, and my mom laughed and said oh Honey this is just for one weekend, I have 5 children." It is fun getting but there is so much to get. While I was at wal mart I saw a promotion at the photo place for 30 -7.99 (one pose) I was wanting to get Brody's pictures done in his Easter outfit but didn't want to pay a big price since I just got his 2 month ones a month ago, so this was perfect. I am taking him Wednesday morning, I just hope he is in a good mood!

So I finally got Brody's bumbo seat in and he LOVES IT!!!!!!!!!!!! He is pretty good at holding his head up but not great so I put him in it for about 10 mins each day.

Since my Internet had been down I had some pictures from last week I didn't get to post. I met my sister and nephews last week for lunch, she lives about an hour and half from me so we met halfway. My nephews Zach and Landon love Brody so much!!!!! I love my little nephews so much, they are just too cute and sweet!!!

Come on windstream!

My Internet has been acting up all week and the soonest I could get windstream out is tomorrow between 1-5, something is wrong way wrong. I lose my connection so much and it is so annoying. I am going to try and make a post but it may not work and I'm not even going to try and add pictures until tomorrow!

Everything has been great. Today has been an absolutely gorgeous day of 75 degrees out. We have been out all day, Brody loves being outside!!!

Big Step in our lives.... Brody is now sleeping in his pack-n-play. From the day I brought Brody home from the hospital or well really from the time he was 1 day old he has always slept right with his Mommy. He has his own special spot in Mommy and Daddy's King size bed and for such a little guy he took up so much room. He would wiggle and move all night until he was right in my arm. I decided on Monday night (3 months old) I would move his pack-n-play by my bed and give it a try, it worked!!!!!! He slept all night, well from 11-7. YAY!!! He has continued to sleep in it and he does pretty well! He does wake up some but just for a minute or so and puts himself back to sleep or I hold his hand:) I just love having him so close but I am trying. He does seem to like his own space, so this is good. I think I may move to the crib around 5 or 6 months, we will see!

I am late on getting Easter stuff together, I haven't even got Brody a basket yet. But I do have his outfit and it is just so cute!!

I will post pictures as soon as I can keep a connection!!! Oh and I do apoligize I had gotten 2 awards and I have not been able to post about them and I hate to say I have even forgot what they were now:( I am so sorry girls!!

Wow it worked, I was able to do a post REAL QUICK!! Come on windstream!!!
