Merry Christmas

It is the day of Christmas and I am working. I did have a fun time last night with the Bazen side of the family. We had our gift exchange and Breann was able to open some presents from the family. The only bummer part is that Jeff and I had to leave early so I can get to work. It kind of made the whole situation and bitter sweet event. I think it put me in a bitter mood to for the most part, one because I was tired and two I knew I wasn't going to sleep after laughing my head off with my family. I usually don't mind not getting any sleep but it is much harder now that I have a child. I am very excited though that I have Christmas night off and will get to relax and enjoy with my family. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Years!!

Camping

So a lot has happened in the last few weeks. The Alcorn and Bazen families went on a camping trip to Silent Valley. The camp site is located in the San Jucinto mountains and it is a nice place to have a group camping trip. The down side is that you can't have camp fires at your site and in order to stay there you have to be a member or know a member. Anyways . . . it was a lot of fun, my sisters were there, my parents were there, my grandparents were there, and I was only sick one night. The weather was beautiful and we walked around the camp grounds looking at the stuff that they changed (I haven't been there in 6 years). The only bummer was that the weekend we went there was suppose to be a Thanksgiving/Christmas parade were you can ride your bikes and be a part of the parade if you wish. They changed that to a later date and I know I wasn't the only one bummed out about that. Still it was a very relaxing weekend and Breann had a good time. I wish it could have last longer and hopefully next more people can go, maybe another camping trip in the spring. . . Maybe. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, I love it when my birthday falls on that holiday. Nothing like some good turkey, stuffing, and granny beans. Happy Birthday to Amanda, hope the shopping was good. I love the Holidays!!

Up-Date

This is from a neighborhood by my condo

Hello I thought I would give everyone an up-date on the baby and myself.

** First off we were only affected a little bit by the fires in Yorba Linda. Jeff and I evacuated our home as the fire was less then a mile away and at that time you can't help but realize what is truly important that you need to bring with you. Thank God that there was no damage to our place or any one around us.

** Breann is doing OK, she gets a cough here and there but it doesn't last long. She is starting to hitch as well and soon will be crawling.

** Thanksgiving is coming and so is my birthday I love it when it lands on turkey day and then afterwards we go camping. Good times.

** I had to have some blood work done because I was going through some serious problems with sleeping all the time, feeling tired, loosing a lot of hair and some other things. Come to find out I have a thyroid problem that is hereditary in my family and it didn't start affecting me until I had the baby. All is well now I am on some medication that will help regulate it.

Vote!

I am taking a moment to express the thought that it is election day and even though this should be the biggest turn out of voters in history. I telling you to make sure and vote today. Who and what you vote for is your business just make sure you go and vote. That is all, enjoy your day.

Six Months

Breann is a little over six months and I can't believe how much she has grown in that time. I was looking back at video when we were in the hospital and seeing her now I am just amazed. She talks to us in her own little language and rolls over like no bodies business. She eats her mushy food and has yet to throw it back in my face. She can almost sit up on her own and the crawling is just around the corner for her. I know I am a mom that envies her child but every new mom has a right and I am taking full advantage of it I love it.

Back To School Night

So yesterday I went to Back to School Night at Breann's preschool. This was very fun for me because I got to go as a parent but also talk with the teacher on a more one-on-one bases. For a little while I was the only one from the infant room who showed up. Later by the time I was leaving other parents came and we talked for a little bit but I found out that those parent were only going to have their little ones there for one more week. They were moving. I found out that the school was being criticize for not having computer and high tech gadgets for the little ones to play with. Their thought, which I agree with, is that the children should have minimal time with the TV and computer. It is notice that there is a large speech problems because children are watching more things on TV and the computer and not their own parents. Anyways . . . I enjoyed what I saw at the school and I know that Bree is in good hands when I leave her there for the day.
