SHEWWWW... What a weekend!

We have had a FUN weekend! We got Emily early on Friday and all headed over the the 'Boro for Brylee's 18 month checkup. She got three shots and checked out well. The Dr. said she was a petite little girl but was very healthy and smart. She weighs about 21lbs and is 30.5 inches long.

We have played with kittens at Nanny and Papa's, went to church, and got tattoo's. We swam at the pool and both girls jumped off the diving board! Emily got a new fish named Al and Brylee and Daddy watched the race together. Here are a few pics of the weekend.

We have contract on the house and are scheduled to close July 22nd. Please keep us in your prayers. Love to all!

SAY A PRAYER...

Say a prayer for us please. We signed a contract on a house today, more details to come. Just pray that everything works out please.

Love you all.

BUSY...

We have been really busy but I plan to update more later. Brylee Taite has several molars coming in and we have not been getting much sleep. Tonight she hit her head on the faucet in the bathtub and is running a low grade fever. We kept her up as long as we could and gave her some Tylenol and she crashed. Bless her little heart! We have almost finished painting the house, I say we but really it has been all Brian. All he lacks is the hallway and dining room.

Emily is getting ready to do a report on Mark Twain and she has to dress up like him on the 15th and present an oral report. She is doing a GREAT job so far and seems excited about what she has learned about him. They had to pick a famous person to write about and once she found out that he was the writer of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (which she has read by the way) she was sold on him.

I finally got some good meds for the sinusitis and am getting better (6 weeks later).

We planted a garden and it is growing like crazy. Brylee says grow garden grow then she blows it. So I think she thinks her garden blows and not grows! :) Gotta Love Her!

We are planning to attend Aunt Patsy's church Sunday and then hopefully we will soon find a church home. Right now we have been going to First Baptist and Calvary, but we still haven't found the place that feels right. Please remember us in yours prayers and also pray that we find the place we are meant to be. Any church suggestions would be appreciated and we will consider it.

P.S. Laney Belle will celebrate her 5th B-day tomorrow. Feel free to send gifts or cards with $$! :)

Love To All!

One Crazy Night!

I have two crazy wild girls who make life so much more exciting. We just lounged around and had a fun Saturday night with Monkey Girl and Super Girl!

Pee Pee in the Potty!

Yep, you guessed it Brylee Taite went pee pee in the potty all by herself today. This is how it started then we took her diaper off and she used her potty! She got up did a little shake of the hips and said "Good Girl"! It was priceless!

OK so I typed this up yesterday and forgot to post it...

OH MY GOODNESS! So last night Brylee and I are hanging out in the floor talking to Aunt Lindy on the phone when all of the sudden ---------------NOTHING------------------ the phone just shuts off and we cannot get it back on. PANIC TIME! I went to the bedroom and stuck it on the charger (even though it had a full charge, I thought this may help). Still nothing, many, many, many failed attempts later Brian and I decide I was going to have to take it to Verizon because this time it is not coming back on. So I headed up there. I explained to them what happened and then I remembered that the night before it had done the same thing and magically it came back on and I had 20+ text messages starting at 7:30am all through 9:45pm that I had not received. That’s right I went an entire day without even realizing I hadn’t received one single text. (That should tell you how crazy my week has been)

They proceed to tell me that there is nothing they can do; my pics and videos are all gone even my contacts. ALL GONE – the entire first year of Brylee’s life GONE! I was mortified. Thankfully I send everything to my email most of the time so I still had them somewhere. I just never got around to saving them to my memory card. **Lesson Learned**

I went back in knowing that there had to be something someone could do because I could not live without my contact list. I would never get those numbers back and programmed in. Well needless to say an hour later, one brand new battery, 30 minutes of charging and Susan had all my contacts backed up on my phone. *If you have not done this you can backup all your contacts on your phone for FREE and then if this happens to you, you will lose everything else but not your contacts* She managed to get all my pics and videos saved to the memory card I had brought in with me so after all that I ended up with everything I had and a new phone. They said that normally when they do that (the phone shutting off) they never come back on. I have to admit I was saying A LOT of prayers because I hated the thought of losing all those videos. So thanks to the good Lord and Susan’s persistence the outcome was a plus. I asked her what could have possible caused this and when she told me I was a little shocked. She said that normally it was caused by a virus send in a FWD message. She said that if you delete them right away you should be OK but by letting them sit in your inbox/sent mail they just eat away at your phone. So I have to ask that everyone keep me off the forwarded texts you send. I do not want to go through that again.

When I came back home Brylee was walking around in one of my Bemis shirts. Apparently the only way she was satisfied was when Brian let her put it on and walk around wearing it. It was too cute.

Love you all! And remember no forwards!

Happy Valentine's Day!
