Sleeping through the night...

Three Month pictures done by the girls in the family! Stacie, Mom, Ellery & I...I think they turned out fabulous...and he was SUCH a trooper...NO tears,

ALL SMILES! Ps these are only a FEW of the hundreds we took!

thank you ladies! xoxo

Makes for one happy baby

who is cooing

laughing

smiling

squirming.

And one super happy lucky mom!

Finally one FULL week of sleeping from 9pm to 7 am

I love finding him in his crib in the morning

with big happy eyes & rosy cheeks

turned completely sideways from squirming so much

waving his legs and arms in excitement to see me!

Ready to drink a full bottle, snuggle, bath

This week also he started drooooling like crazy...and he found his tongue

(sucks it, makes funny faces and sounds)

LOVE,love, LoVe

best part of my day!

Breck is THREE months old!

He is weighing on (on the official grandma & grandpa scale..13 lbs)

He has found his hands & loves to chew them!

He has a personality! giggly, nice little man!

but also lets you know when he wants something...

I love it! He's so fun!

I just wish time would slow down! 3 months FLEW by.

30 reason why...

We celebrated his birthday with a sign, hugs, kisses & a cake!

I LOVE my husband!

Some are sooo true & others are the sarcastic truth....can you pick them out?!

Because...

he can spend a total of an hour with Breck and get him to laugh and smile more then I can who is home with him all day! Makes me :) he loves his daddy!

He doesn't have to watch his food intake or have a fitness program and he still looks good..or at least i think so ;)

After 10 years together and he still never puts the toliet seat down (and a late night trip with eyes still closed...trouble)

He shared his dimples with Breck!

His clothes seem to jump out of the dirty clothes laundry basket...or he has bad aim...good thing he's not a pro basketball player!

He makes a mean burger...new recipe that includes whiskey...ha, only you Jerod!

He can lay his head on the pillow and start snoring in2.5 seconds EVERY night. I'm one who likes to fall asleep first so I try chit chatting with him to keep him awake ha!

When he finishes off the pitcher of juice...he puts it the sink...nope...he puts it back in the fridge!

Has always been quite the athlete and shows me up in softball and sand volleyball...now if only he would put away his high school trophy's and awards...stop livin' the dream! It makes me laugh!

He has a love for golf that I didn't understand...maybe it was the three times a week outing. but after golfing with him one time...realized it is kind of relaxing and fun! Now i beg him to go...but he hasn't had time lately!

He made my first overnight away from Breck a breeze! I enjoyed some girl time & they enjoy "male bonding" w Breck, which included sleeping in till ten a.m

He brought me to Bonanza in St.Cloud 11 years ago for our first day...dreamy!

He wears his socks how he finds them in his drawer....mix match, inside out, one pink & the other blue...I'm in love!

He still asks me what I think of his "outfit" (my words, not his)

He stays up late to play Madden...and when I have had enough of it i hide it from him...but he always seems to know excatly where I hid it...and then he laughs (under the chair?!!)

I asked him what he wanted for his birthday dinner and as he said lasagna...I mouthed it at the same time...duh...he would eat it everyday if he could!

He's sweet. to me. to family. to everyone.

He wears these old skater shoes (look like marshmellows on his feet) that he stole from his brother...and I hate them! I hide them, he finds them!

I gave him a guitar for christmas 3+ years ago...and he yet has learned to play..bummer, i love a guy who can play guitar..H.O.T ;)

He won the "what were you thinking" trophy at softball last week because he tried to steal to third and got caught in the hot box!

Im finding that craigslist is his new favorite place to shop! weekly buys! Its' ok with me as long as he doesn't mind my weekly buys at Old Navy!

He's a hard worker. and deserves the BEST job..good luck!

We have four computers (two in which he has built) ONE working at this time, because he is to busy helping others with computers! HELP ME!

Wants a dog someday, but is deathly alergic to them...hmm. I am NOT taking care of them! nope!

His favorite movie. DRUMLINE. Seen it about 1 million times.

He never complains when he has to watch my girly shows..Bachelorette, The Hills, The City ect. I think he has a secret love for them...or he likes the hot chicks on there...either way it works for me!

He hasn't had a "sipper" in over a year! He's an offical BEER drinker! Cheaper! But now the girl friends complain that they miss the "fun Jerod" I DON"T! :)

When we go out to eat for dinner at a non-fast food resterant he compares the price to that of a dollar menu..."we could have had 30 double cheese burgers for that price"! ha!

He is in LOVE with polo shirts...but heaven forbid we pay more then $25.00 a shirt!!

He has given me EVERYTHING i have ever wanted...plus more.

Every night he kisses me and Breck goodnight.

And that is why I'm in love with him.

Wow coming up with 30 reasons was hard, wait till I have to come up with 100!

Anyone can add a funny comment, story or funny! Would love to hear about it!

Happy 30th Birthday Jerod

&

Many more! xoxox

Family vaca

To Duluth we go!
We made our trek up to Duluth Friday morning...

after a stop at The Burr's ~my godparents & great family friends~

a quick stretch & some fresh lemonade & cookies we were back on the road

Breck was a wonderful travelor! Slept, Slept, ate, Slept! Making the trip a sucess with a three month baby!

We arrived in Duluth, checked in, then off to Old Chicago for pizza supper & to say hi to my brother who was bartending that night! We stuffed our faces w the most delicious pizza
My fav Tai Pie ...mmm a must have!

Malibu

Double Deckaroni & Meat Me.........yes pizza overload, but worth it every calorie!

We ended the evening sitting on the balcony overlooking Superior...I LOVE IT UP THERE!

Saturday: Early rise to get ready for the Air Show

another recommendation...a must see!

The UNITED STATES AIR FORCE THUNDERBIRDS will headline the Duluth Airshow, as they return to Minnesota for the first time since 2006. Tora Tora Tora will also be making their first ever visit to Minnesota as we honor all of America's vetrans and celebrate "Generations" of veterans who have served our great country.

We saw the US Thunderbirds

Tora, Tora, Tora

F-16

USAF F-15 Strike Eagle Demonstration

DAV B-25 & many more

and if your like me you have no idea what that means, but they were pretty amazing to watch.

After the show & a long day in the sun & car waiting to leave ;)

we went back to the waterpark hotel to cool off in the pool! I think us adults had more fun then the kiddo's

wish i had pictures of us going down the waterslides!
A fun fun weekend.

with good family

and good food. Now I must diet...must fit in bridesmaid dress in 3 weeks!

this is what he has been doing ALOT lately.
chew chew chew.
he reaches for things my hand then puts it in his mouth.
Teeth?
along with much goober & drool
and some crying sad sad crying
He never cries...so when he cried for the first time,
yes, with big tears
mamma cried too. I'm pathetic!
and this could be just the begining of
teeth.

watercade

We had our friends Megan & Ryan from Mankato visit for Watercade weekend..
2nd annual, they say they love it!
Ryan took a picture of this: tackle box, rod, and beer I thought it was funny
& just about sums up what a man needs to be happy
And all i need is a shopping mall & Jerod's credit card ;)

They boys tradition is to be part of the Watercade fishing tournament...
They stayed up till 2ish playing madden, then 6 a.m alarm to get out on the lake.
Thier goal this year was to catch a fish...yup thats it, & would be better then last year!
and... they did. Nice catch Jeff...but still no money won!
They enjoyed fishing while us gals got up for the Watercade walk.
After getting our free shirts (thats worth it, a pj shirt) we started our 4 mile walk...
while a storm began to brew ahead of us! We were ALMOST to mom & dad's house
when it began to pour down...we ran to thier porch for cover & waited out the rain...
so we could finish our walk? nah, just back to the car :) ha!
And the whole time it rained..hmmm 45 min of pouring rain...we were VERY
concerned about our boys...or just lauging thinking about them out on the boat!
After fishing the boys rest..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Then off to the 1 band parade! Athough I very much enjoyed the alumni band...but will NEVER take part in it...sorry gals! It was a hot humid 2 hour parade! WE all looked forward to a cold one around a fire that evening....

but a storm took over & we ended up stuck in the house! Still A GREAT time.

And we enjoyed ALL the company so much that we stayed up till 2 a.m again

Sunday

we had to be up early for the Watercade golf tournament...yup, me, golf, yikes!

We ended up doing pretty well & I acually enjoyed playing along with hitting a couple good balls too! Next year...I'm IN.

After company left...sad..we ended up getting our house back together ready for ANOTHER Monday that came to soon

& off to bed early!

I think Breck enjoyed his first Watercade! He was a joy.

Couldn't have asked for a better little boy! And the Selly's just loved him up...I think they need one soon!
