I know its been awhile since I've posted things have changed, Emma is 13 months old and a beautiful, crazy 13 month old at that. She does everything and anything she wants to do. She runs around the house like she owns it and she even bites. For Halloween she had a blast she was a little cow, she looked so cute. Her favorite candy is tootsie pops the little ones. She just makes everyday a blast but also a challenge.
Brandon is doing good just working his butt off like always. I am doing well going to school and trying too keep Miss little Emma in line.
There is a reason I am blogging today I want to get somethings off my chest, things I have been thinking about for a while. Its been so long since I have blogged that I doubt anyone will look at this but that's OK.
Well here it goes have you ever wondered( or you might be in this situation) what it would be like to have everything. I mean a good( nothing is ever perfect) relationship with your husband (which me and Brandon do, most of the time), money( meaning that you don't have to worry about going paycheck to paycheck), a relationship with GOD ( which we do), and a family(which we do). I know its bad too say but I just wonder, and your not supposed to wonder about what you don't have but sometimes I can't help it. I mean Brandon works so much overtime and it never seems to get us anywhere. If we have the money something always gives, we just shelled out $195 for our septic system. I want to start selling Pampered Chef so I can still stay home with Emma go to school and make a little money, but It seems like we will never have the $155 to ever get it started. My little bit of hope to start spending less at the grocery just went out the window. Emma was on WIC( women's, infants and children; they pay for formula and milk) last year which helped out a lot, but this year do to a pay increase she won't be on it a gain, which should be good but we are only over by $30 ever two weeks. I just don't know what to do I pray and put my trust in GOD, but we are still there, I just hope we make it through Christmas.
Love you all,
Valerie

Update!!
Hey so haven't posted in awhile because I have been super busy with school and Emma! Last week my sister came in town and we had a lot of fun hanging out together. It really meant a lot to me that she came to visit us! This weekend my mom and dad will be visiting for Easter!!
Here is an update on everyone:
Emma is 6 months old(well almost she has 2 days left)!!!! She is so big and doing new things every day, she loves moving around she is one of the most active babies I have ever seen. She can't stay in her toys for long she wants to be played with, we usually play ring around the toys , so i can get some housework done until she gets mad is about 10-15 mins per toy. She loves being on the floor and playing in her entertainer, she just loves being played with! She is so good too when we are around other people she hardly ever cries unless its sleepy time and then its usually just a face and a whine. She is getting separation anxiety, when ever she doesn't have Brandon or me in her sight which is kinda sweet, but it also means if you go to the kitchen for a second she will yell. I love her so much I can't wait to see what she has in store for us and the way she moves its going to be great!!
Brandon is doing good, work is going great for him he enjoys being out on his own and off probation finally. I'm going to do a ride along with him soon that I'm real excited about, but scared at the same time. He is looking into doing other things with the department, which I hope he gets. But, his pride and joy is Emma Marie, we wake him up every morning and he turns over to look at us and she just gives him the biggest grin. She is already a daddy's girl, and he is wrapped around her finger. Their bond means everything to Brandon, because she doesn't smile at me like she smiles at her daddy, I can make her calm down quicker than anyone, its just the mommy touch!!!
Well, I got to go to class I will write more next week and hopefully with pics!!!

Here we go again
Sorry it takes me a while to update because the only chance I have is when Brandon is not working. School started last week for me which was interesting. Its a lot to juggle getting up early to feed Emma so Brandon can sleep longer before she gets up for him, while I'm at class. But its working out good so far. I'm only taking 9 hours so I can take care of Emma, and I will only have about 4 semester's left of 9 hours, which won't be that long. I did start one of my Real Estate course's last week, we will see how that goes and if I even enjoy it . Right now I'm trying to look for a part time job, but its so hard with Emma and school on top of that, hopefully we can work it out though.
Emma Marie just went back to the doctor for her 4month visit, she weighs 12lbs 6oz(25%), and she is 24 inches long(75%), so she is really skinny and tall. The Nurse that was giving her shots was surprised on how strong she was, and of course she said she looked like a porcelain doll. She also started on rice cereal last week which was quite interesting. She got it everywhere in her hair her ear it was hilarious. She didn't like it at first so the next day I put applesauce in it and she liked that, but then I figured I could give it to her plain as long as i played with her while i fed it to her. So its like a game to her now, but she still gets it everywhere, which is fine I just throw her in the tub after words and clean her off. This week we start 2 feedings of rice cereal one in the mourning and one at night.
Well got to go to class will update later!

I'm Blogging ( Are you Happy Debbie?)
I started a blog today, so my family can see how we are doing. Emma Marie, Brandon and I are doing good, we are busy as can be. We try to keep everything from going haywire, which is sometimes difficult!
Emma Marie is doing great and she is so pretty. She surprises me everyday, she is trying her hardest to crawl, she has figured out forward motion though. She just hasn't figured out that hands help her move, right now she puts her butt up in the air and her head on the mat and pushes to go forward, its really funny to watch. She seems really stubborn and she wants to do anything Brandon and I can do including walking and standing up, which she is very good at standing up in our lap . She is teething right now so anything she gets ahold of goes to her mouth she even tried to put Sasha's (our dog) ear in her mouth, luckily I didn't allow it. And I think our greatest accomplishment yet is Emma sleeps through the night!!!!! Brandon and I love Emma Marie to death and we couldn't imagine our life without her. She has her 4 month appointment next week which is really exciting!! We will update more later!
Brandon and I are doing great, Brandon's job keeps him busy a lot but he tries to spend every moment he can with Emma. I'm starting school next week which is going to be really crazy, but fun hopefully. I will only be taking 9 hours and hopefully I will be done with school in 2 years. While I'm at school I'm going to being trying to get my Real Estate License, which I'm really excited about!
trying to put picture's on but my dial up connection is not letting me!!!
