Brylee's 9 month Pics

I know that Brylee is almost 11 months now, but I swear I finally just got her pictures back from the photographer. She had some problems with her computer and had to waite till she got her new one, so it ened up putting her really far behind.



Anyways I'm in LOVE with them all....

PUMPKINS!!!

So I'm really bad now!!!

I totally forgot that Bryan and I took these pictures of us carving pumpkins!

So sorry that I didn't post them until now!

Anyways, Bryan, Brylee and I carved pumpkins a couple of days before Halloween, we decided to get up and have some breakfast and get started. We thought that it would be best to carve them a bit early because of our crazy work schedules that we had going into the Halloween Holiday.

Anyways, Brylee seemed to like the pumpkins for a little bit, but then she got tired and wanted a nap by the time that I helped finish hers.

She ended up dropping her pumpkin and cracked the bottom of it but it ended up being okay, so to let still play with the pumpkins I gave her a small one and she LOVED it!!!

Well here are the belated pictures of us carving pumpkins....

Happy Halloween!!!

I can't believe how fast time flies!!! Last year I was pregnant with Brylee and know she is almost 10 months!!! (She is getting so BIG)

Halloween turned out to be pretty good for us, I had to work during the day but got off just in time to have Halloween fun! I met Bryan and Brylee at my parents house where I got Brylee ready and then she got to see her Uncles and Aunts, and her Cousins Maddi, Lexi, and Riker. It was soo fun to see them! We were just missing Chase!

Anyways, after that we went to Bryan's parents, met up with aunt Kellie and Uncle Scott and Brylee's cousin Corri. Brylee's Great Grandam Sandy was there we were so happy to see her too! She is going to be leaving us next week to go to Arizona for the winter! We hope that she will come home for the Holidays or for Brylee's 1st Birthday and bring Great uncle Jeff with her!

Halloween was a lot of fun Brylee Trick-or-Treated to a couple houses in Bryan's parents neighborhood and we ate some nice yummy soup that mee-ma made. Then Bryan had to go to work so Brylee and I went home and ended are Halloween night!

Here's a few pics of Halloween, Bryan forgot the camera so we had to barrow some pictures from others...

Hay Ride and so much more!!!!

Two weeks ago, Bryan, Brylee and I decided that we would like to go get pumpkins and go on a Hay ride, but I didn't really know were to go. So I asked my sister Angie if she knew of any place and just my luck she told me about a place in Syracuse (sorry I forgot the name of it).

So I asked her if she wanted to come with her fun little family and she did so. On Saturday we went, we first had lunch at Madbrooks they have the best doughnuts! However I didn't get to eat mine because Bryan accidentally threw mine away, I was so sad!

After lunch we headed to our Hay ride. When we got Brylee in her stroller and Bryan had a Dr. Pepper left over from lunch that he wanted but the cut was too big for the upper strollers cup holders so Bryan put it down where Brylees ones are and before you could even blink she too the whole cup and tipped it over!!! Grrr!!!

So then Bryan, Angie, and I are frantically trying to get the clothes off of her and get her into a new outfit that I had in the car. Luckily we also had the umbrella stroller, and I was happy that it just mostly got on her pants so her jacket was okay.

We after that took us another 15 minuets, we finally got to go on the Hay Ride and pick out pumpkins it was so much fun. Riker and Lexi seemed to have fun. After the Hay Ride the also had a "Court Yard" it had a bunch of slides, animals, a small maze, a train ride, paint ball, and corn husk shooting.

We hung a for a long time, and poor little Brylee passed out from all the fun! She wasn't feeling to great that day she was cutting her two front upper teeth (which came in on Tuesday).

Anyways for the fun part here are some pics...

State Fair

First of all I'm sorry that it has been so long since I have wrote! I have been so busy with the police academy that everything just went by way too fast!

Anyways, one of Bryan and my very first dates was when he took me to the state fair. Since then it has always been a tradition of are to go there. This year was no exception ether!!! We were so excited for this year because we got to bring Brylee!!! Last year when I was still very much so pregnant we had said how much fun it would be and also how we would be soo glad to have a stroller to hold all of our stuff that we buy there including drinks, lol!

However with Bryan and my work schedula it made it a little hard to go, but we made it work!!!

Brylee loved all the animals and wasn't so excited when I had to look at all the scrapbookong pages, but Bryan was a trooper and got Brylee focused on other things so that I could look! (he is such a great father).

Anyways here are some pictures of the fair...

Brylee LOVED this goat!!! She kept laughing the whole time.

one of the many cows we saw!

She loved looking at the sheep too!

Mommy and Brylee

Happy Brylee Anne!!! We had such a good time! It was so nice to be a family!!!

Bryan's Allergy Test

So if you haven't heard Bryan tried once again to get out of work!!!

This time it was with a Banana.... who knew that a simple banana could be so deadly!

Anyways about 2 weeks ago Bryan ate a banana at work and started having a BAD allergic reaction to it! He was then sent to the hospital by ambulance and needless to say he scared all of us half to death!!!

So, after all of this Bryan had to go in for a Allergy test this last Friday. Needless to say he is allergic to BANANAS, Apples, Carrots, Melons.... Also Dust, Pollen, Grass and Cats. Even DOGS!!!! (the doctor told us that we need to look into making them outside dogs) and to add the final topping he has Asthma!!!! The doctor told us that he hadn't seen someone with this bad of allergies in a long time.

Oh and just to add more fun stuff when I looked up Banana Allergies on Webmd it also told me that we need to be careful of Latex, Avocados, melons, and kiwis....I think Bryan's falling apart!!! LOL

So now after these tests Bryan will have to go back again to get tested for allergies to bugs too. He now has to have allergy shots for the next 6 months, and quite a process.


Anyways I managed to take some pictures of his test, sorry they're not the best i only had my cell phone.

This is right after they started the test...

This is after about 5 minutes

Bryan trying not to scratch... if he did, they would've had to do the test all over again... (10 minutes into it)

After the test is done.... looks painful huh???

Brylee can CRAWL!!!!

This Friday Bryan and I were doing yard work and I went inside with Brylee to change her. After I changed her I sat her in her room to play with a toy while I washed my hands. Brylee decide that she didn't want her toy I guess and that she wanted her mom. So she just stared crawling out of her room, when I saw her she had already made it out her door and was in the beginning of the hallway. It was soo cute!!! I yelled for Bryan to come and see her. Bryan caught her when she was half way in the hall. It was soo fun to see her so happy and proud of herself. Brylee just kept looked up at me and kept crawling until she was at my feet! I loved every moment of it!!!

My little baby girl is growing up!!! I'm so excited for her but I can't help it but a little part of me feels sad!

I got a video clip of her crawling today!

I hope you all enjoy!

Earrings!!!

I know that some of you may think that I'm offal mean but I did it anyways and she looks so cute with them!!!

Last Friday Bryan and I took Brylee to the mall and got her ears pierced. She did so good! She is soo tough!!! Anyways we had two people piers her ears at the same time and Bryan tried to distract her, it seemed to work great!!!
Brylee just held her breath so we had to kinda blow in her face to get her to start again and then we gave her a beaded rainbow colored necklace and we didn't have the heart to take it way from her when we tried to leave so now we have the lovely thing.

Brylee's ears look great too! The same day that we got them done you would have never knew it, there were not red or anything. Bryan or I clean them in the morning and at night and it doesn't seem to even bug her.

I forgot to take pictures of her getting it done so her are a few I took today!
