Long Time

Yep, it's me again...the no-blogging mommy!!!

Rachel is GROWING like crazy. I think I have said this before, but I LOVE THIS AGE!! This has absolutely got to be my favorite time. She is just learning so much everyday! She is doing almost all of the motions to every song that Miss Patty-Cake sings....our favorite video! She will sit in front of the TV for the entire thing....about 4 times through! She loves to sing and loves to play with her daddy.

She will be 17 months old on Monday and the time is just flying by like crazy. She has another ear infection right now and I may sound like a broken record....if it seems like she always has an ear infection, IT'S BECAUSE SHE DOES!! We just finished with antibiotics a week and a half ago and when we went for her hearing screen on Friday, she had another one....more antibiotics to start last night....this one is all different....I think we have taken just about all of the market approved antibiotics for children. So, back to the over feeding of yogurt to try to prevent diarrhea.....never ending battle....BUT....hopefully it will end soon! Rachel goes in to the hospital for outpatient surgery on Wednesday. She is getting PE tubes and an adenoidectomy. It will be fine....I am a little nervous...but it will be fine.

BABIES BABIES EVERYWHERE!!! Don't worry...not here!! :) My best friend, Alison is going to have her babies (yes, more than one) on Wednesday and my cousin Tonya is scheduled to have baby Justin on May 8th. Let's see if I can count real quick, how many of my friends that are pregnant......well, so far I have come up with 10. I am sure there are probably more that I am forgetting. I know 3 people that have had theirs in the past 2 weeks. My oh my...I miss that infant stage but not enough to have another - not just yet anyway!

Let's see....job is going good...LOTS better than before. Brice's work is slowing down....I got a new phone yesterday that is awesome but not quite working the way it is supposed to....already got it replaced and now I have put in a technical request that should be resolved within the next week...if not we may have to do something different....*sighs* In the big scheme of things...it's just a phone....

That's all for now...be sure to check out my dropshots account for pictures. We just got back from a trip to Arkansas. www.dropshots.com/bricerikkirachel

Love to all!

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!!

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.
