Love you all and have a Merry Christmas!

The Next Rocky!

Well we have conquered our first Halloween and Thanksgiving, now on to Christmas! The boys all helped with decorating the Christmas Tree, some had more fun than others! Brody had his 2 month doctor's appt. Everything went well, they said he is growing perfectly fine. When I got home I did a little comparison to Landen when he was 2 months old (I know you arent supposed to compare your children, but I figured I would just do it anyways...they are both to young to understand) Anyways here is what I found:

Landen Birth weight 10lbs 3oz
Birth length 22 1/2 in

2 month weight 13lbs 3oz
2 month length 24 1/2 in


Brody Birth weight 10lbs 15oz
Birth length 21 1/2 in

2 month weight 13lbs 9oz
2 month length 24 1/2 in

So my comparison of the two kids I have found out that I have chunk a monk children but I wouldnt have it any other way! I love my big boys and would feel awkward if they were tiny...I mean look at Main and me...we arent small!

On to other things...Main is working now for the Porter County Sheriffs Department. He is still in his FTO training, which means that he works with a more experienced officer until he has his evalution and then he will be out on his own. He did receive his cop car though and Landen absolutely loves it! We are so proud of him and please keep him in your thoughts and prayers when he is working. I never knew there were so many crazies out there!

Now here are the pictures: ENJOY!!

I love Christmas Time...I had our tree out and decorated before Thanksgiving...there is just something about this time that makes me all happy and ready for the holidays with family! So even though we started a little early...the kids and I had fun...oh, Main too...yeah right! haha he is our grinch! My grandma ever since we were little would get us new ornaments every Christmas! I love this tradtion and she has even started it with our spouses and her great grand children....This year Landen received a spiderman and Tonka truck ornaments. Brody received a Baby's First Christmas ornament that you can put his picture in! I received a lot! I got my gold ornament, a snowman ornament and pop up ornament! Main received a Police Station that splits and actually shows you the inside of a police station..pretty cool! Well here are our little elves!

Up and Running!

So...it's been about 8 weeks since I have updated about our family. So here it goes!
So obviously our second son was born Sept. 29 of this year. He is a wonderful addition and both mommy and daddy love him very much and his big Bro is wonderful and loves him very much! Brody has had his 1st Halloween and Thanksgiving already! I am still on maternity leave until January 11th, it has been nice staying at home, however, I am ready to go back and see my other "kids". I truely believe I have the best job that allows me to help others and be a mom at the same time! Here are some pics of the BROD-MISTER and the rest of the fam.

At Daddy's Academy Graduation: they were so proud of him that they both fell asleep!

Landen in the chairs playing: sometime I wish he would get stuck and never get out!

Ugh...contractions!

oh yeah...ice chips baby...breakfast of 10lb monsters!
3 days before my Brod-mister was here!
So Main and I decided it would be a good idea to have Landen Day before Brody came...we really werent for sure how he was going to act having a little one around...so we spoiled him more that what we already do on the saturday before brody was born. We started out going out for breakfast to get him so pancakes (his favorite), then we went to my now most hated place ever...CHUCKIE CHEESE...but hey he had fun, then we went to go see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and he loved it! He was so tuckered out after our very busy day...SEE PICS BELOW!







And there is an update Dec 3, 2009...Brody had his 2 month appointment!
Weight: 13 lbs and 9 oz
Length: 24 1/2 in
Head size: HUGE...
and he had his 2 month shots...booo...he did really well and is resting now!
