Happy Mother's Day

Pretty sure we try to take every picture at the wrong time...he really is a happy boy!!!

Mother's Day has a new meaning for our new family! :)  What a special day it was!  We attended a Mother's Day breakfast at his home country church.  Kory went at 6:30 to help the other dads/men cook the breakfast and the moms arrive at 8 for a nice breakfast that consisted of sausage, ham, scrambled eggs, several kinds of homemade rolls, and fruit!  It was delicious!  We went back to Kory's parent's house and watched his sister open her graduation gifts and watched a movie.  In the afternoon, we headed to Kearney for a little family time.  First we made a stop at the NICU to tell our nurse, Sue, Happy Mother's Day!  It was so nice to see her and Brexton enjoyed the snuggles he got from her!  We miss seeing you Sue!!  Then we made a stop at the greenhouse for garden plants and had supper at Valentinos.  When we got home we ran into Ansley to Kory's grandma's house with the rest of the family for a bit!  It was a busy day!  

I feel so blessed to be able to personally celebrate this holiday!!!  I pray that I will be the mother to Brexton that God has called me to be!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers I am so blessed to call my family and friends!!

Doctors Appointment

{ 5/7/12 }

On Monday the 7th, Brexton had his 2-month check up (technically he was only 6 weeks old). I didn't want to do all of his shots just yet so we are holding off until the middle of June and attending an immunization clinic....hopefully this help Brexton like the doctor's a little better too.  At his appointment, Brexton got a clean bill of health.  The doctor said he looked and sounded great!  He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz (3rd percentile), was 20.5 inches long (3rd percentile), and head circumference 35.5 cm (3rd percentile).  Since everything looked great, we don't have to go back until he is 4 months old!  Praise the LORD!

It's that time of year to move cows to pasture!  Brexton and I helped the guys along the way during the first cattle move of the season.  Here are a few pictures as they crossed the highway and we stopped traffic...
