Olympics 88

The Olympics were in calgary when I was 4 years old. Holding this olympic torch is pretty much most of what I remember. That and the official mascots, Heidi and Howdy. I can't wait for the olympics coming up in vancouver and I am debating if I could go to an event. I love the new olympic clothes being vintage looking and am just getting really excited for olympic fever!

P.S. Mick has been fishing, so consider yourself warned for a future post!

New Post

I updated my Hire To Inspire blog today. If anyone has any ideas or comments or something they would like to see, email me pronto!

What we have been up to

Isn't he huge? I looked at this and was shocked at how big he looks.

Grandma went to the Dallas Cowboys game and got me this awesome shirt.

Jett got to meet his Great Grandma Berry from Oklahoma

Some of my Favorite Berry's. Katie, Heather, and Ida.

Grandpa Berry

Mick is holding Ian, who is 6 weeks older than Jett. He can crawl and he makes Jett feel HUGE!

My friend Leiah and I have been walking in Fish Creek Park in the mornings and it has been great. Her son Peyton and Jett are best buds.

We will miss you Brycen Monte.

Our oldest nephew Brycen died in a car accident Sunday morning. He was 18 years old, a great football player, the best older brother, and an all around nice guy. We were first told that he fell asleep driving and rolled his car. The latest is that he survived the car accident and crawled to the road where he was hit by a car that then drove away. Its awful. He was a great kid and we will all miss him.

You can read the news articles Here and Here.

Jett 6 Months

Can you believe it has been 6 months already? He gets his 4 month shots on tuesday (because thats the kind of mom that I am?) so I won't have measurements until then. Right now he:

Sits up
Loves Sweet potatoes
Hates Carrots
Makes funny faces at fruits, almost like its sour?
Can hold his own bottle
Recognizes the bottle and pulls it to his mouth
Rolls from back to front
Goes to sleep on his back
Wakes up on his tummy
Recognizes faces and is starting to get a little shy
Loves to cuddle (shocked us all, I know)

He is at such a fun stage in that he can play with toys, recognizes you and smiles, but still can't quite move around. He is sleeping well and so I am pretty well rested. I could never imagine loving this boy like I do. He makes me laugh all day long. We love this little guy!
