Memorial Day Weekend

Saturday we finally went to see Grandma Mueller. It was her first time meeting Collier. It was so cute to see this little old lady holding chunky butt Collier...lol! She was so sweet and kept talking about how children just melt your heart. We really enjoyed our visit with her. Now if we can just find the time to visit it her more.

Later that evening we went to Evan's (Jim and Kristen's son) baseball game. Brenna loved playing in the sandbox. And of course everyone just talked about how cute Brennie (Kristen's nm for her) was. Unfortunately Evan's team lost. :(

Sunday we went to a cookout at Julie and Rod's house. We ate delicious food and the kiddos had a blast playing. We also went to Jim and Kristen's and just watched the kids play while Kristen snuggled Collier.

Our fun week!

We had wonderful weather this week we spent a lot of time outside.

Tuesday we went and paid bills and went to the park. We were only planning on being there for an hour or so, but we ended up staying for 4.5 hours. Krista, Ryan, and Rayden came to the park too. Brenna and Rayden had so much fun playing in the sand, swinging, and playing on the equipment. Brenna thought it was so funny to destroy everyone's sand castles. You couldn't help laughing because it was so cute how excited she got. Wyatt kept calling her BRENZILLA....lol! Collier had a rough start but ended up falling asleep and sleeping most of the time. Here are some pics of the kiddos playing.

Isn't she sooo pretty?!?

Afterwards, we went to Krista's and ate supper and of course the kiddos kept playing. Brenna was tired when we left. She did NOT want to leave Ray-Ray's lol!


Wednesday Brenna had school. She came home so tired. She ended up taking a long nap and when she woke up she wouldn't stop talking about Ray-Ray. So Wyatt took her over to Krista's so her and Ray could play.

Thursday the four of us along with Krista, Ryan, and Ray went to the Niabi Zoo. We had soooo much fun. Brenna and Ray were so cute and suprisinly they both behaved really well. Brenna LOVED the carousel she rode it twice! Both kiddos really enjoyed the train ride. Brenna rode the ponies and really enjoyed that as well. We also fed the fish and goats. The baby goats were so cute. Collier pretty much slept the whole time. He woke up at the end for a little bit. It was such a beautiful day I'm glad we were all able to get and enjoy the weather. Here are some zoo pics!

Friday was pretty much just a relaxing day. Brenna went to school and we watched Collin from 6:30-11am. He is such a happy child! Mimi (aka my mom) came up for supper. Wyatt grilled some yummy food. Brenna also played outside for a little bit. I was also able to snap a picture of Collier smiling. :) He is so cute! Brenna was so tired she fell asleep on the couch. She woke up for like 2 minutes then passed out on the floor. Here are some pics from outside and some of Mr. C!
How can you not fall in love!?!?

Brenna has learned some naughty words. :( She told me to shut up.....Wyatt def. let her know that she isn't allowed to talk like that. She also has picked up stupid and dumb. It so hard not to laugh when she says "Daddy's dumb" lol! We're trying to let her know that those are mean words. She also says "Mommy doin" constanly...lol! She has also been singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider"...which is beyond cute...I need to get it on video.

I think Collier has passed his fussy phase. He seems to be a happy baby for the most part. I seriously can't believe he is almost 2 months old. Can he please stay a baby forever?!?!

A little about my life!

Well first of all I'm Miranda! I'm the proud momma of 2 little ones. Brenna is 2.5 and an amazing little girl. She is sooo smart and makes everyone smile. She is sooooo sassy and even though her "sassyness" can be a little trying at times I love it. She also has this very compassionate side that melts my heart! When I was in the hospital for my c-section and for my GB surgery she was so worried about me. She kept asking about my about my "owies" and would get this really worried look on her face. I kept reminding her that mommy was okay. She also is very bossy, she loves to boss her cousin Rayden around and its so cute to watch her think she is the boss. She is the definition of a daddy's girl but knows that Mommy is the one who takes care of everything. She def. has daddy whipped. She LOVES to make him do anything she can get him to....I think its a game to her. What can Brenna get daddy to do today...lol!

Then we have our new addition, Mr. Collier! I have to say this little boy is so sweet and I am so in love with him. He LOVES his Mommy! He loves to eat...I think he eats about every hour..lol! Which is fine with mommy, I love my bonding time with him. He has started to smile and the morning is now his happy time, I can usually get smiles then. He loves to be held and of course I fall for it and hold him most of the day.

I guess I should probably give a little info on Wyatt....lol! Wyatt and I have been together for 5 years. He is the best dad in the world. He was def. a changed man the minute Brenna was born. He LOVES the Cubs. I'm pretty sure his list of top loves go 1. His children 2. The Cubs 3. Me.....lol! J/K! He also likes to play x-box when he can get some spare time.

I also am a full-time student at WIU. I'm studying Management with a minor in SCM. I will be done in December but plan to continue on with my Master's. My life is busy and complicated but I love every minute of it. I am truly blessed and I think I realize that more and more each day.
