I make noise...

Brielle was trying to make as much noise as possible. Trying to be heard over Carson. And no Carson you are not too big.

Love my brother

Here is video of Brielle loving her brother.

get me out of here!!!

Here is a cute video of Brielle trying to get out of her bumbo seat. I should mention that these have been recalled... wonder why?

Feeling like a baby...

Carson tells me all the time that he is not a baby anymore. But he sure is having fun with Brielle's baby toys.

happy baby

Brielle just loves it when her brother talks to her... even if he is calling her crazy.

How time has passed

I came across this photo the other day of my niece and I at my high school graduation party. I thought oh she was so cute... Then I realized it was 15 years ago. Adria was only 4, the same age as my son Carson. Now I have a family and she is in her second year of college. But when I look at this photo, it feels like only yesterday.

In the close up video, we are trying to say hello.

Mom and daughter

Here is a photo of mom as a baby and Brie.

Busy day

Brielle rolled over for the first time today!! I knew she could do it for a while but just needed time. Also, I busted out the jumping swing and she loved it!!! She is ready for bed early tonight. Big, busy day for a 3 month old.

been so long...

Sorry I have not posted anything in a long time... Needless to say I have been busy with baby Brielle. Not to mention, I am not sure any one is even reading this.

Life with a newborn is interesting. But even more challenging is having Carson. He has been a great big brother but still find it hard going places with the 2 of them by myself. I know it will get better once Brie is on a schedule. So wish me luck and I will try to post more.

Brielle is here!!

Finally we have our complete family. On April 17, 2012 our beautiful baby girl, Brielle Lynn Townsend arrived. 6lbs 2oz 17.5 inches (hospital said 19.5 but was wrong :) She came into this world at 3:58am. Apparently she didn't know mommy was not an night owl, but I can not complain. The delivery was fast, in fact I almost didn't have time to get the epiduarl. After I was "sticked" I was already 10 centimeters!!!

She has been home for 6 days now and sleeps very well and nursing great. We are very blessed.

I will try to keep up with photos. I said try :)

Girl!!!

I have always wanted a little girl... now I am getting one. I have loved being a boy Mommy and I must admit I am a little worried about being a girl Mommy. I am not a very girly girl. I don't wear lipstick and I hardly paint my nails.

Will she look like daddy or mommy? What name should we give her? Will she be strong and independent? There seems to be more things to worry about with a girl then a boy.

In the end, we now have our perfect little family and I know Carson will be a good big brother. Nobody better mess with his little sister.

Adding to our family

I am happy to announce that the Townsend Family is adding to their family. Coming soon sometime in April.

Due date April 22, 2012

pneumonia

Carson has been sick since last Thursday. On Tuesday I took him to the doctors and they did a chest x-ray ( he did great by the way ). Pneumonia...

It has been an interesting last couple of days. He hated the antibiotics so we had to hold him down and force him to swallow. Not my favorite part of being a parent. Next came the vomit from the medicine. Then the diarrhea. He isn't eating much or drinking much. But he acts like nothing is wrong. He is such a trooper.

Who gets pneumonia in the summer!!!

Anyways, we got a different medicine, one that Carson can tolerate. So far so good.

I sure hope we can fun this weekend, after all it is summer.

Finally

Ryan and I have been talking about getting a king size bed for years. Sunday we finally did it! And wow is it nice :) Our kids (Carson and Kandern) have trouble getting on the bed since we got a pillow top mattress so now it's 6 feet tall. Could I get stairs for my bed for a Rottweiler without being judge? Do they even make stairs strong enough to hold a 130 pound dog?

Well, in the mean time Ryan and I will enjoy the extra space to ourselves.

Driving my friend

My friend jacob came over and I gave him a ride in my sports car. We are going to get some hot babes when we are older.

ok just 2 more...

more photos

I have so many good ones!!!

Vacation

Glad to be home from vacation but boy I do miss that Florida sunshine. We did everything you can do in Florida in a week. We boated, beached, Stayed at Disney, fished and even had time for a little Putt-putt. Carson had the time of his life. I was very pleased with his mood considering he had very few naps on vacation. Here are just a few of the favorite photos from vacation.
