January Happenings

I have read on so many blogs various New Years resolutions. I have decided just to set one goal for this year and hopefully I won't get too overwhelmed with this one. I have decided to tackle food storage. The whole thing starting with 72 hour kits, water, three month supply of everyday foods and then long term storage. My grandma has lent me some great books and I have my work cut out for me. To me it just solidifies how smart the church is. Not only storing food but saving and being prepared in general. I am really excited about it right now and hopefully that does not change. McKenna has progressed so much in such a short amount of time. She is crawling everywhere now and is no longer content to stay in one room. She is talking a ton and yesterday she kept repeating yaya. She has also decided that being on the ground crawling is fun but standing up on while holding on to things is equally if not more fun. I am so thankful that I am able to stay home with her and see firsthand all of her developmental milestones. I also wanted to thank Jill Riggs, now Jill Scripps who while in town visiting her family made some time to take some pictures of McKenna and our Family I will post some of our favorites. I hope that everyone is doing well:)

Christmas Happenings 2007

Hello to everyone! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. We were so busy during this holiday season with family coming into town. It was so much fun to see everyone, but I think McKenna is relieved to have things back to normal. McKenna was completly spoiled on Christmas Eve by her Nana and Grumpa Braegger and spoiled just as equally by us and Grandma and Grandpa Wright on Christmas Day. Great Grandma Wyand spoiled her to with these awesome bibs that cover everything, they have sleeves!! We celebrated New Years Eve with my Aunt Paula, Uncle Mike, Mandy and Avery by going to lunch at Joe's BBQ. Then my dad came into town from California and we went out to dinner that night for his birthday. We were happy to have my dad in town with us and it was great to see McKenna interact with her Grandpa McKee. McKenna is a busy bee and she actually started crawling on Friday night. She had been crawling backwards for the past month and I was so excited when she actually came towards me to retrieve a toy. Life will no longer be the same.

What is wrong with this family?

Jamie Lynn Spears Says She's Pregnant
1 hour ago.
This is beyond disgusting to me. This girl is 16 years old and she is a star of a hit TV show on Nickelodeon. It is scary that I will be raising my daughter with role models like this out there. It makes me so thankful for the gospel in my life.

Baby Food in the form of Meat

I have a question for all the moms out there that know more than I do. McKenna has gone through all of her veggies and started on fruits about a week ago. So when should I start her on the mushy meat product? She still has no teeth and I'm worried that Grandpa Braegger will have to make some dentures for her:) Anyway please fill me in on any suggestions. I really appreciate all the advice, believe me I need it-Have a great day

Updated Family Pictures

Chris and I recently went to Target for our family picture for our Christmas cards. These are some of my favorite shots of the day. McKenna eating the fake cookie was hilarious and she actually started crying when we took it away from her.

Look alike meter

I have always been too frightened to try this because I thought McKenna would look like Chris 100% At least according to this measurement she has both of our good looks:)

Brad Womack is such a Tool-

So I was watching the finale of The Bachelor last night and I was so excited that Brad was going to pick DeAnna. I cannot believe what he did, he started his speech and basically told her that he wasn't going to make her any false promises and said he had to tell her goodbye too. I was shocked. Was he planning to do that the whole time? Anyway I hope that he explains things on the show tonight because that was just not cool. Okay I'll move on from TV. McKenna is getting so big, she can basically sit up by herself and she loves it. Chris brought his huge keyboard to the floor to let her play it and she was so excited especially when she accidentally turned on different beats. I'm trying to think of anything else interesting to say and I can't so I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving:)
