Easter!!!!

While the little man is sleeping I thought I would do an Easter update!! We went camping with the streets, terry's, Bowlers, and my father and mother in law down in Gunlock! The weather was AMAZING and warm. Until Saturday night it ran through out the night, then Sunday it was sunny again. It was Rydges first time camping, and his first Easter!!! He for sure got SPOILED by the bunny!!! I cant wait till next year, he will actually know what is going on with "the easter bunny". When we got home, Rydge had a package from his Grandma and Grandpa Kazaminjad!!!! he got even double spoiled!!!

his little face is SOOO frickin cute!!! His first time shooting.. and he HAD to wear the ear muffs!!!!

First sink bath in the trailer!!!! He splashed everywhere!

Happy 5 Months little rydgey boy!!!

From Grandma and Grandpa K!

SOOO Spoiled!!!!

We had SOO much fun, Rydge had TONS of "Firsts"! Shooting, Wheeling, camping, sink bath, easter! Poor little guy did get attacked by the allergy bug :(.. I HATE allergies! Anywho!!!! We Loved Easter!!!! And Camping!!!! Rydge for sure LOVED it as well.. I think he just like being outside and having SO much to look at.

What to do?!

I am starting summer school in just a couple weeks, and I am stressin...Flippin out!!!! SCARED!!! about it ALL! I dont want to leave my baby!.. and I dont know what to do about feeding?? I am still nursing, and want to continue to nurse. I am a strong believer in it, no offense to those who use formula, but I am worried when I go to school I cant keep up on the stocking of breast milk. No matter how much I pump, how much I get stocked up I dont know what this schedule will be like?? I will for sure keep nursing, morning and night, but I might have to do both, breast milk and formula :(. How do I not feel "guilty" or "sad" or "worried" about it?? I wanted to nurse for a full year (at least till I can just go straight to whole milk). Cheaper first of all, and I like nursing and think he gets more nutrition that way, plus it "bonds" us together and I LOVE it. Maybe thats why Im STRESSING over it so badly. I know TONS and TONS of working moms who do both, or even just pump. What if I cant do it. Is it bad if I want to start him on baby foods so I dont have to feed him formula? I mean, my schedule is busy, M-F 8-5. Its pretty much like a full time job for 2 months. :(... now I know why moms want to be stay at home moms!! The bond you have between your baby is HUGE!!!! I will probably end up doing both, nursing and formula. 1 more month and I can start him on foods.. Then I'll probably feel better about it all. Why does it have to be so hard.. Maybe im just being a baby! I cant help it!! Anyway, Easter post coming soon!!! We had SOO much fun camping. Rydgey loved it.

Run For Kids!!!

My FIRST 5k!!!!!!!
The run for kids! I am actually glad that this was my first 5k...walk! I think the next one I do I am going to run/ walk it!! It was rainy and cold. These kids were troopers!!! They did great. Tammy ended up carrying Allison on her shoulders, Haley was in the stroller, Hunter walked it! And Rydge, I held him for the first half mile then he fell asleep and he stayed asleep the rest of the way! It was so fun!!! We came in last, because we walked with the kids, but it was a great experience!!! We "Ran" for gunner, my nephew that passed away from his heart problem. All the money raised for this run was donated to the Learning Center for Kids, and what a great donation! Plus, it felt great to do it for such a great cause!!! Cant wait for the next one!!!

Pictures...pictures.. and more picts!!!

Made one for Me, my brother in law and his wife, and both mother in laws. Wes is getting deployed and thought it would be cool!

Yes, he is watching TV! haha..

Jessie and I are DETERMINED to have these 2 boys be best friends!!! They're so cute together!!!

All the "friends kids" together!!!

he is SO gonna take after his mama.. he is gonna love Pepsi ;)!

Oh NO!!! we cannot have a thumb sucker..hehe, this is how I found him last night in bed!!!

There is GREAT news!!!!!!

No.. Not pregnant with baby #2!!!! My mom thought thats what I was going to be telling her.. ANYWAY.. The great  news is I am getting into the BLOCK this summer!!!! :). Which means I am pretty much done with my TEaching degree. All I will need is my Student Teaching.


I have been waiting to get into the block for 2 years now!!! I have to pass the Praxis test.. but I got a call saying they would waver the test and let me in. I will have to pass the test before I student teach. BUT, The block is the main important part of the whole thing of graduating!!!!

It starts May 9th-July 5th. From 9-4 M-F. So pretty much like a full time job. My heart already ACHES.. SO MUCH thinking about leaving Rydge for that long. But, reality is I would rather get it done fast and over a month in a half period than a full semester. I am lucky to have family and friends to help watch Rydge while I go after my college diploma!!!! I will probably be in tears the first couple weeks because I cant leave my boys CUTE face!!!! UH!!! Im already dreading it.. but it will be so good for him, and I am happy for myself!!! Ill be the first person in my family to graduate from College, and I will have my dream job to fall back on if I want or need to work!!!




So excited. Also, Saturday, Me and my mother in law are doing a 5k for the run for kids!!! I am pretty excited, but the race starts SO early, and with travel time its even earlier!!! Blah!! That was one thing on my resolution list!!! YAY!!!!


Brent is loving the new job!! I am liking it to. Rydge is getting so big!!!! He loves grabbing onto things, he moves every where. (he is  starting to scoot and scoot in circles) He is such a happy, smiley boy!!! He must get it from his mama ;)!!! Well there is a short update on the bracken clan!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!!
