Our Wednesday

Here are some pictures of our Wednesday!!!

This is how I found Brynna this morning when I went to check on her. She flipped over onto her tummy AND her head is where her feet usually are!?!?! Good thing she's in a crib or I probably wouldn't be able to find her in the mornings :) Grant did not move around this much this young...hmmm, hope that doesn't mean she's going to be even busier than Grant!!!


Grant eating blueberry waffles...and NOT wanting me to take his picture :)


Brynna after her bath...SO cute!!!

Grant and Brynna with a similar expression :)

I THOUGHT Grant was in bed for the night, but found him in our room. I always put a blanket and pillow on the floor for him so he doesn't have to crawl in bed with us in the middle of the night, well...he didn't wait until the middle of the night this time :) I started laughing when I saw him in there...he said, "I snuck in here"...well, obviously!!!

Sometimes it's too cute to get upset :)

Cooking tomoatoes...going to try freezing some this year.

Thanks, again, to Larry Joe and Jean for the tomatoes!!

So, Wednesday is almost over...tomorrow - a trip to the State Fair and then packing for two weeks at Ft. Knox, then Friday the NINE hour drive to Kentucky. We should have internet access and cell coverage while there, but then again, it IS Kentucky so who knows? :)

Sunday night pictures

We talked to Grandma Paula on the phone tonight...she is missing us and asked that I post more photos.

Nothing special, just hanging out after dinner!!!

Grant wanted me to get a picture of Froggy!


Another one with Froggy.

Daddy and Brynn

My babies!!!

Iowa Firearms Safety Training Program

I have been busy this week and not just being Mom. I completed the Iowa Firearms Safety Training Program for Madison County. This course is required in order to obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon. It consisted of 4 hours of classroom instruction and qualifying with a handgun. I've had people look at me like I'm a little crazy for wanting to carry a concealed weapon, but I want to be prepared for whatever situation may happen in this crazy world of ours...now I can protect my babies!!!

Notice the 100% score on both the written test AND the range qualification!!!!
There were two of us in the course that got 100% on both tests and we were the first two the county deputy had ever had do that.


Even the guys at the range were impressed by my shooting :)
I don't understand why men are surprised by a woman that can shoot??

Brynna rolled over...Back to Front!!!

Brynna has been rolling on to her side for a couple weeks now, sometimes she even sleeps on her side. The other day I said to Lee...she's going to go all the way over to her tummy soon...well, about 5 seconds after I said that...SHE DID!!! Then she rolled back over to her back.

Grant was around 7 months before he did back to front :) But, Grant does EVERYTHING in HIS own time :)

Trying...

And she's over...and pretty proud of herself :)

Grant holding Brynn :)

Brynna

Brynna is learing new things every day! She is laughing out loud (SO, cute...trying to get video but haven't been successful yet), squealing, rolling onto her side, AND sleeping through the night!!!! These new accomplishments are exciting and sad all at the same time!

She's growing up fast!!!

Rolling onto her side and reaching for toys!

The twins were over

We baby sat BOTH sets of Jon and Heather's twins Friday night. We had a great time and all the kids had LOTS of fun together. But, I must say, I am thankful that God blessed Jon and Heather with two sets of twins instead of us...I'm in awe of them and how well behaved all FOUR of their kids are :)

Edward, Brynna, and Kailee
