I started school almost a week ago and so far the classes seem manageable..but they always do in the beginning! The hardest part so far is just leaving my baby! I just have to keep reminding myself to FOCUS!



I am still loving the mommy life!
I am planning now to go and talk with counselors at MCC where they have their nursing program that leads right into a Nurse Practitioner program they offfer. It is more money than a Physicians Assistant and seems more practical for me than medical school.

We had a great Christmas spending time with family and we recently got to go to Disney on Ice with the Merkley's which was one of our Christmas presents from them.
I figured Tate would like it but I didn't know he would be as excited as he was!
He absolutely loved it! The bright lights kept him entertained and I don't think he made a peep the entire night!

About a month ago I finally decided that I have to put Tate down occasionally and give him some tummy time! He picked up on the "Army crawl" so fast and I'm sure he'll be crawling and then walking before we know it, which makes me so sad! This is a fun stage as he is learning new things each day!

I never updated on his 4 month doctor appt! He was a whopping 13lb. 14oz. Which was more than his cousin Gunner who is 2 1/2 months older! I was shocked but now you can definitely tell he is getting to be a chunky boy! I say he should've learned to crawl before he packed on the pounds...It's much easier to do when you're not a chubster! But I love his chubby cheeks and rolls! He just gets cuter everyday!

His new favorite thing is watching someone open and close the shutters from the outside of the window..He thinks it's hilarious and his giggle is priceless! I am absolutely in love with everything about that kid and sad to say that he is sick for the first time. His nose was stuffy and runny yesterday but he seems to be doing a little better after lots of sleep! I hope he gets completely better soon! I hate sick babies that can't tell you what is wrong...So sad!

Brandon and I have officially known eachother 2 years as of January 16th, it is crazy to think all that has happened in that time....

I hope you all had a great start to the year!

My New Year's Resolutions are to lose a few more pounds & get ready so I can apply to nursing school!


I also want to cut my hair...shorter, but not too short! I'm ready for something a little different. I haven't done anything new in a long time....Any cute cuts, styles, or suggestions?! I would love to hear them! :)


This is my current "Like"....I just don't want to go this short and I don't know if it will work for me!!
