Rachel is 15 months old today!!! We had our checkup today and as you already know, she is a big girl. She weighs 30 lbs, 1 oz, and was 31 1/2 inches long. That makes her 100th percentile for weight, 95th for length. She is an all around big girl!! Doctor said she was fine right now and although my plan is to get rid of the pacifier at 16 months old, she told me that I can wait until she is 2 years old if I want. We will see!!! :) Rachel's doctor is pregnant which is pretty exciting! She said that she is expecting a baby girl in June! YAY!!!

Last night was rough....Rachel was up 4 times and got up to stay up at about 6:15. She screamed from then until about 8:30 and then screamed the entire time we were in the doctor's office. She has another ear infection!!!! AHHHHH!!!! I am SOOOOOOO SOOOOOO SOOOOOO tired of this!! Of course, we got another antibiotic which will cause diarrhea and a yeast rash! Gosh, I hope after this one we can be finished with them for awhile!

It's Valentine's Day and Brice has to work late. Maybe I will get that dessert that I want one of these nights! It's just that time of the year...you would think after 3 1/2 years I would be used to it but it doesn't get any easier!

That's all for now. Check out the rest of the newest pictures at www.dropshots.com/bricerikkirachel

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

Image
We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
