Mom's breast buddies!





Here are some of my friends from my breastfeeding success group! Rob calls it my gab session..... he's really right. It's a time for moms with babies to gather, nurse together, and TALK!!! Like every woman needs! But it is kind of cool because we get to weigh the babies weekly to make sure that they are growing, etc. Brianna seems to be doing OK. These pictures were taken on the Breastfeeding Awareness walk! Did you know that BREAST IS BEST!? ; )

The Pumpkin Patch




Last weekend we went to Susanville to visit with the Hodgson side of the family. It was a great little get together. Brianna met her cousins and Uncle for the first time! The weather was wonderful and a fun time was had by all! Carol works at the pumpkin patch every year..... Zech and Grace both picked out a pumpkin for Brianna's first Halloween--- Uncle Rob wanted the pumpkins to be small "like a baseball or smaller"! I don't think he wants to have a big pumpkin around to rot on the doorstep this year!

Genelle's wedding



Brianna had fun at her third wedding in her three month life! She was a very good little girl as we enjoyed ourselves at my friend Genelle's wedding in San Jose. We went down for the event and drove home the same night... on the way home, both of us wished that we could get in the car seat with Brianna and just sleep!

Goofing around


Do you think Rob is having fun with his daughter? He goes off to change her diaper and comes back like this! ; ) Poor little Brianna..... she will get him back one day!

Last week, Brianna and I ventured to Lodi to see Betsy's new place. It is huge and looks beautiful already! Although they've only been there for 3 weeks, they already have painted the whole outside and have appointments to put in hardwood floors and redo the carpet! WOW!! I've been here 4 years and have done nothing to my house! Maybe I should consider doing something soon to keep up with the Jones's, I mean Meyer's!
It was fun to see Sydney... one day she and Brianna can be playmates!

Sip and See






I was in Fresno this weekend for my mom's famous SIP and SEE for her grandchildren. This one was for my little Brianna! We had an extended party, starting at 10 am when we were stillin our PJ's, and ending at 5pm! And the party was supposed to be from 1-3pm! My mom had accidentally sent out a few invites with the wrong time on them-- they said from 10-12pm! So, we had two attendees Joanna Stilson, and Karen Spencer-- obviously the "S" names were affected--- who came before the party was ready... This was a little stressful to my mom but she did a superb job of pulling it off in spite of this!! Noone else would have know except that we told everyone since we were laughing so hard about it!
Brianna was a good little girl, a little clingy to her mom but overall was good at being passed around to "real" moms. i.e. those who had successfully raised a child or two! ; ) Kirra got a chance to meet her cousin and hold her too!! All in all, a very fun visit. Thanks MOM!

Daddy dressed me



Well, today Rob dressed Brianna. We were going to church since it was Sunday. We now affectionately call it her BAM BAM outfit. She was accused of being a boy! Can you believe it!?

Apple Hill visit



Rob and I decided to take a little trip to Apple Hill. All went well until "the breakdown"-- when Brianna decided that she had had enough! My little girl has some lungs!! Here are some pictures... also some pictures of her cute outfit-- Rob thinks it makes her look "fat"! ; )
