I'm back...

I'm still having some issues getting my blog the way I want it. (Lyndsie if you're reading this could you help me with my header?) However there are some things that I wanted to post so....

First things first....I have some really cute pictures of Roxi with her first My Little Pony. She loves it!!! Well, to chew on it anyway. :)

The other thing i just kind of wanted to vent about is that I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow (Thurs. ) and I'm really nervous! I've been hearing all these horror stories from Ben about the amount of blood and pain and can I just say EWWWWWW! Any ways I'm probably just being a big baby but I wanted to get that off of my chest. Thanks! TTFN

Under Construction

I decided that I wanted to change my background and I didn't have time to figure out how to add all my widgets before "bedtime". :) So I guess that means my blog is still under construction. (Pardon my cyber dust! He He.) If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Lots of news.....

I'll start with Roxi's 6 month check up....She's doing GREAT! She weighs 15 lbs (25th percentile)and is 25 3/4 inches long (50th percentile). The doctor is really happy with how fast she is growing. She has come a long way from the 4 lb 7 oz 18 inch baby we brought home in October. However She will have to go back into seclusion starting today because the RSV season is still in full swing here and she can't get anymore antibody shots. So that stinks but such is the life of a preemie.

The next exciting thing is our trip to the Zoo yesterday! Brewer had SO much fun! He loves animals and was running all over the place pointing out all the different animals.

This is what Roxi thought of the Zoo.

It was good for her to be out though. :)

Last, but certainly not least, Ben got into OCS!!! yay!!! So he will be leaving on the 29th of May for 10 weeks in Quantico VA. I am so proud of him!!!! He has really worked hard for this!. (again)

Brewer's Latest battle

For those of you who are well acquainted with our son Brewer you know what a tough kid he is. From the first day he could crawl he has been adventurous and fearless!!!! Well we all knew this day would come..... (although I had hoped we could have avoided it for a few more years)


Brewer's first set of stitches! :(

He was being his typical self and running as fast as he could to get into bed when he tripped and hit his head on the corner of the bed. He ended up with 4 stitches. It was very interesting getting him to stay still for the doctor. They had us wrap him in a blanket and Ben had to lay on his chest while the nurse held his head. I was at his feet trying not to have a break down! He was actually quite the little trooper. And, also in true Brewer fashion, by the time we left he was completely over the whole thing and had totally charmed all the staff of the quick care we went to.(Plus a bunch of the patients.)

On a lighter note....Roxi has her 6 month check up tomorrow. (Time FLYS by!!!) I will post the outcome tomorrow. Thanks guys! TTFN

Hello all!!! This is our first adventure into the world of blogging. I know....how behind the times are we?!?!? Oh well better late than never right. We decided to start this blog to keep family and friends up to date on what we're doing so here it goes....

Ben is training hard for the Marine corps. He should know by the end of this month whether or not he has been accepted back to OCS. Although his Officer Selection Officer (OSO) has assured him that he has about a 90% chance of getting back in.

Roxi is doing really well she is now in the 40th percentile for weight and length so she is officially caught up to a non preemie. Yeah!!!

Brewer is learning more and more every day! He loves his family and is starting to be potty trained! ( I promise to leave out the gross details! :) ) He is getting so big.

I am in shock with how fast time flies!!!! Any way.......
Feel free to leave your comments and questions. I look forward to figuring this blog thing out! TTFN!
