Letter to Corporations and Pictures

Howdy all,

So, today started off with all sorts of excitement. We had a problem with Amy's car that we just bought last year. After her loving, super nice, mechanically challenged, handsome, intelligent husband spent part of the morning and part of the previous evening guessing what was wrong, we had the car towed to the dealer. Turns out it was a hose that Nissan manufactured too short that causes the hose to fall off and cause undue stress for owners (along with sluggish acceleration, stalling of the engine, and all sorts of unpleasant sounds). Thankfully, said hose was under a recall, that we did not get mind you, and towing and repairs were covered. Yippie I know....but corporate America and Japan, particularly car manufacturers, please pay close attention to what I'm about to say. Can we please spend the extra dime for the additional half inch of hose that would have saved me stress, hauling my family to work, and really making for a long day? Wadda say? Don't we think it would be cheaper than having to pay towing, more expensive labor and time to fix said problem? Our parents always said cutting corners will get you no where. Take the lesson please! Anyways, here are some pictures of the clan waiting for Mr. Tow Truck Driver. Said clan was interestingly photogenic this morning.

"Let's see I've been fed, in my jammies, doing some stretching, so yeah I'm down for a road trip to the Nissan dealership."

"I'm all over corporate America! Let me at them! This is my mean, gonna tear you up look by the way."
"I'm the muscle of the group by the way. I've totally got your back Molly. I'll just be in the car if you need me!"

Chunky Monkey

Hey everyone! Braegan here. So, mommy and daddy took me for my two month check-up today and these things called shots. First, they weighed me and I clocked in at 11 pounds, 13 ounces. Daddy keeps calling me a chunky monkey, but I'm just big boned. Then they checked my length and the lady wearing the scrubs said I was 22 3/4 inches long. Mommy and daddy seemed really happy about this and daddy said he hates being right all the time about guessing my weight. I can tell mommy doesn't like it when he does this. Where was I, oh yeah then the doctor with the bow tie came in (I really like him) and said everything was awesome. Well, duh! Then we waited and I got hungry, tired, hungry, tired, ya know the drill. Then this REALLY mean lady came in and stuck me 4 times! I cried at first, wimpered through the next three, and then stopped. Mommy and daddy kept saying what a big girl I was and how I did such a good job. Those guys are so silly. I took the rest of my bottle, and now me thinkin' it's time for a nap. I hope everyone is doing well and I want to give a shout out to all my baby peeps out there! Holler and keep it real! Braegan.

Update

Hey everyone!

Sorry it has taken so long to post about the most AWESOME baby ever! (Doesn't everyone say that about their baby?) Anyways, tomorrow we go for our two month checkup/shots. We will update more tomorrow with weight and behavior after said shots. For the record I wanted to poke Braegan with pins to get her used to what was coming. I was overruled! Hey, I'm a Psych guy, whatda expect?

"Mommy and daddy say this is my play mat, but I got news for them!"
"So, I'm going for the whole dignified, smart, got something brilliant to say look. Whadda think?"

Letters

Yes, someone very crafty made those letters. A lady off of eBaby made them. You probably can't tell, but they match our Alphabet Soup pattern in the room. She did an amazing job! Good job on the movie. I'll throw everyone a bone every know and then! Amy, won't say it, but Roll Tide tonight. I ain't a fan either way, but you gotta support the state team, right?

The Usual

So, here is an easy question on the eve of the big game that will send those "dumb" Longhorns back home/possible blizzard that will send Alabama and "Big Al" back to the stone age/and well, a Thursday with "Timothy Mouse".

Mr. Stork - "Here is a baby with eyes of blue, straight from heaven, right to you. Or - straight from heaven up above, here is a baby for you to love."

I am way to easy on ya folks...anyway on to the pictures.

Braegan's letters spelling her name, and the hanging of said letters that almost ended in divorce!See above comment...Ya know, sometimes pictures speak louder than words...

Finally!

Yeah a correct answer! Congrats! Hopefully more to come tonight.

Stumped?

Did I stump everyone with the trivia question? And, sorry to say the guesses were incorrect. I'll throw a better hint your way. The name's of three baby's in question are: Sly, Basil, and Duby.

Pictures and Trivia

Here is your first trivia question of the new year. BTW your hint...this quote is from a movie I have yet to see. Good Luck!

Baby 1: We have to use our secret weapon.

Baby 2: And what's that?

Baby 1: What's the one thing grown-ups fear most about us babies?

Baby 3: Dirty Diapers!

Baby 1: You're wrong!

Baby 3: Well they make those stupid faces when they change our diapers!

Baby 1: Its our intelligence everyone, our intelligence...dirty diapers...that's funny though.

And congrats to The Abstons for being the first to identify Three Men and a Baby!

Now on to the pictures...
"Touchdown Auburn!" (And yes Mark was nice enough to write this minus any sarcasm)
Molly says, "Me and my tongue are getting in this picture whether you like it or not!" "No Ashley you may not take her with you!"
"Is it just me or is anyone else seeing spots?" (Serious, thanks to Amber for a great outfit!)
"Dad are we going to watch football ALL day, cuz this is AWESOME!" It's what was for dinner on New Years Day! BTW - so not my plate cuz I had a lot more greens on mine. Much thanks to Joe and Pat for the awesome food! On a side note Ashley and Amy don't like greens but we made them try some. And of course the pictures to prove it!
I am here to vouch that yes she ate them and stated they weren't bad. I have better pictures of her green eating that I am forbidden to post.Oddly, the situation was the same. She ate and said they were not bad.


In closing for today's postings, I will say that Amy and I are truly blessed to have a wonderful family, great friends and an amazing baby that we love more and more everyday. I am also grateful that so many of our friends had baby boys. I was never big on arranged marriages, but at least Braegan will have her choice of men, and for good or bad, I'll know their parents! : ) Have a great one!
