We took her to her doctor's appointment in the morning on Brent's birthday. Here are her "stats": Head-84th percentile.... Weight: 17.7 pounds, 81%..... Height 28 inches, 99%. She's huge!
After her appointment we took them to the park before it got into the 90's (9AM) and Brynley went into the swing for the first time! She loved it!
That night for Brent's birthday our friends across the street came with us and we walked down to a near by ice cream shop. It was really good! And I have to add; I was really proud of myself because I got the nonfat frozen yogurt with raspberries on top!! 200 calories!! I'm still coming down from the rush that this level of self control gave me! I didn't even LOOK at the ice creams! I went in, saw they had nonfat frozen yogurt and decided which one I wanted. I am so proud, normally I would get a massive serving of a chocolate ice cream, preferably containing some sort of peanut butter and then have Reeses peanut butter cups mixed in with it. But I didn't and that's awesome.
Things around here are GREAT with Brent home for the summer. For me anyway, I have a live in nanny/personal assistant! Not that I've dumped the household onto him and I'm off napping though. He plays with the kids while I get work done! It's so nice! Or he makes breakfast so I can work out first thing in the morning, ect... it's working out great! It's nice to not be out numbered by kids for a while! And we both are getting a lot of the books on our lists read.
I am starting that job!! I have my 3 days of training this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I'm not sure what kind of hours I'll be getting during the summer, hopefully a lot but we'll see. But during the school year I'll only work weekends if/when they need me. It's going to be extremely part time, but with Brent working about 50+ hours a week in this next school year, it's just what we need me to do. I hope it all works out the way I'm wanting it to. The money will be nice, but I'm just real excited to get out of the house now and then!
That's all we've got going on. Happy Father's Day!

Happy Birthday Brent! Sorry we missed it. Brynley is growing so quick, it's crazy! You guys look happy:)
Boy, that park looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
Good Job Brynley! Jessa is a tall baby too. These girl, I tell ya, they are gonna look closer in age to their older siblings because of their height. I love how Brynley and Mariska laugh at each other. I'm so glad you're feeling a little relief lately. Just when you think you're gonna break down right? Oh & GREAT JOB, on the resisting "heavy" ice-cream. Ice cream is not my "thing," (I'd rather save my calories for cookies) but I know that the people who do love Ice cream are pretty passionate, so I know it must have took some discipline! You'll feel better on the inside right!
I can't believe how old Mariska is!! What beautiful little girls you two have!
