Our Little Peanut

Bridget Beanies

2009-12-03T18:04:00.001-08:00

Hello friends and family. I've decided to start a new hobby. My mom and I are digging into our creative side! We are selling baby beanies for $10.00 bucks. They would probably fit 6 to 12 months. I have a few pictures of Bridget modeling the ones we've made so far. Sorry for the blurriness....the pix are from my cell phone....and we had to feed her lucky charms so she would sit still. Let me know if you're interested in one, or if you have any tips or ideas...and hopefully in the future we'll have a website...for now we're selling at bazaars. Email is the best way to contact me.... andrewberrett@hotmail.com

Halloween 2009

2009-11-02T17:28:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween!! Bridget was a pumpkin for her first Halloween. Of course her creative Grandma made the costume and she was a hit! We went to a few Halloween parties, birthday parties, and even a costume dog parade at Beaches Restraunt. Bridget had so much fun...she was the cutest pumpkin you've ever seen!!! Cousin Cody was Spiderman! And of course he wore cowboy boots with his costume....it was awesome!

Breakfast Date...

2009-10-04T12:09:00.000-07:00

Now that Andy's back in school we hardly see each other. So saturday morning he called me on his way home and asked if Bridget and I could meet him for breakfast. I was super tired but it was worth getting up. We got buddled up in our sweats and drove down to Ridgefields Cafe. The girls at the Cafe haven't seen us in a few months. We used to go almost everymorning when I was pregnant and when we were on maternity leave together. So of course they were cooing over Bridget and squeezing her cheeks! And it kept Andy entertained considering all the girls are young, attractive, and totally flirtatious. But a saturday morning date was just what we needed. There was lots to talk about and plans we needed to make. And then on Sunday morning, he brought starbucks and cinnemon rolls. We snuggled on the couch with Bridget and watched the morning session of conference. It was like the old days, before kids. I loved it. Here's a picture of Bridget and daddy after breakfast.

CRAWLING!!!

2009-09-28T21:14:00.000-07:00

Our peanut is crawling!! She's been laying on her belly and pushing backwards for about a month. But last week she officially crawled. And she's doing it morea nd more. At first it was only towards food, but now she crawls everywhere and anywhere. Yesterday I set her down by the couch so I could finish dinner. Within 5 seconds she crawled to the TV, pulled herself up, and started pushing buttons. I came back in the room and there she was...standing at the TV changing channels. She loves being able to move. But we have to be careful. Saturday she pulled the fan onto her head. And Sunday she pulled her mobil on her head, and then today she tried to crawl ontop of the couch and fell backwards. Poor baby...I just hug and kiss her until she feels better. I'm sure CPS will be at my door wondering what all the scratches are.

Lots and Lots of randomness

2009-09-20T13:03:00.000-07:00

So here's a bunch of pictures I just downloaded from my phone. Of course the last picture is Bridget driving Andy's truck. Obviously this is one day Andy dressed her....you can tell by the pink shirt and camo shorts. She ALWAYS wears camo when daddy has her. The first picture is the first day she pulled herself up. This was also a day we had zero diapers at grandmas house. So she's wearing one of Cody's old diapers...wayyy too big! The second and third picture is a day she wear one of my old outfits. I wore that exact same outfit when I was her age, grandma loved it! and the picture of her in bed with Grandma and Grandpa is a day I had to leave at 7am on a saturday to pick up Andy from work. When I got back to the house grandpa and took stolen her out of the guest room and put her in bed with him and Grandma...so spoiled! And the second to last picture is the last time we were in Utah, Bridget was spending quality time with her Grandpa Berrett.

La Center Parade

2009-09-20T13:00:00.000-07:00

At the end of August La Center had a celebration and parade. So since mom and dad live in La Center, we stayed with them and just walked downtown for the parade and afterwards we stayed for a movie in the park. It was a blast! Bridget loved the parade and LOVED the movie. So here's my mom and Bridget watching the parade.

Sunday Best

2009-09-20T12:54:00.000-07:00

So I snuck my phone out and took pictures during church. I couldn't resist! Bridget looked so dang cute in her polk-a-dots! And the next week she was wearing my favorite dress for stake conference. Of course I only took two pictures and now I'm thinking...duh, I didn't even get pictures of the front of her dress?! So I guess she'll have to wear it next week.

A walk through the woods

2009-09-20T12:46:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago Andy took his Mt Bike up to Larch. He found a fun trail and of course wanted to take me. Since I'm not exactly 'in shape' I decided to walk instead of ride the trail. So we barrowed a hiking backpack thing-a-magig for Bridget and the three of us went hiking for a few hours. It was perfect weather and a great excuse for Bridget to wear her overalls. Before we left she was so cute playing in her room wearing her hat and overalls, I couldn't resist a photo-op!

7 Months

2009-09-20T12:41:00.000-07:00

Our Princess is so close to crawling! She'll crawl forwards towards cheerios, but otherwise she's still scooting backwards. We love to read books together, cuddle, dance, and sing her to sleep. Her favorite song is still "popcorn popping on the apricot tree." I've been singing that since she was born. Daddy starts school on Monday and he's already having withdrawls from his little girl. This will be hard for the two of them. They usually spend all week together. I just might have to get a blow up doll that looks like Andy!!

6 Months Old

2009-07-26T22:14:00.001-07:00

Bridget turned 6 months old. We thought it'd be fun to have a little celebration. All her dog friends came. Kooper, Oscar, Charlie and Maggie. I bought a cute cake that looked like watermelon with ants crawling on it. She LOVED it! We let her enjoy some green frosting and, my goodness she was mad when it was all gone!

Swimming and Dress up

2009-07-05T17:25:00.000-07:00

Aunt Brenda brought Bridget the cutest yellow and black dress! Bridget loved it. She kept playing with the ruffles and sucking on the bow smiling, it was hularious! Also this weekend we went out in grandma's kiddie pool. Bridget wore her new bathing suit and we enjoyed the hot weather. She loved the ball so much she wouldn't look up and smile....

Movie Time

2009-07-05T17:23:00.000-07:00

We had a ton of family in town for the 4th of July. So we decided to take all the kids to UP and Ice Age 3. Bridget was such a good girl. She got bored during the end so we stood on the edge and she kept watching the movie...it was great! So I guess daddy and I can go out to movies now that we know she likes them. =)

5 Months and 4th of July

2009-07-05T17:21:00.001-07:00

Bridget loved spending time with Aunt Shawna and Aunt Brenda...

BLING BLING

2009-06-07T16:17:00.000-07:00

So this year for our nephews bday we took him to Build-a-bear. He loved it! Then we went for ice cream. So as we were walking down to Baskin Robbins, Andy stopped at Piercing Pergoda. He's been asking to get Bridget's ears pierced. I was a little nervous. But he insisted she'd look adorable with little diamond studs. So he picked the earrings out and told me to go away. So Cody and I went for ice cream and 3 minutes later Andy came walkin over with Bridget. She looked so stinkin ADORABLE!! She was such a good girl too. She only cried for a minute and she hasn't even noticed them since. Andy was so excited, and I'm glad he decided to do it. I dont think I could have done it on my own! So here's the first picture of Bridget with her new BLING!!

2009-04-11T16:13:00.000-07:00

Bridget went to her first birthday party. Kendall had a ballerina bday, of course I forgot to take pictures even tho my camera was in my bag. But I did remember to get a few shots before we left. Happy birthday Kendall we love you!

Shopping in the sun

2009-04-11T16:01:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we took Bridget shopping at woodburn outlets. We bought the most adorable strawberry outfit and matching swimsuit! I'm so excited for summer so she can show off her strawberries! While we were in Carters, Cody found a dolly and said "thats baby Bridget's". So of course Cody gave the dolly to BB and she loved it!

Work-a-holic

2009-03-22T13:16:00.000-07:00

Everyone told me "Enjoy this time, she will grow so fast." Well she's only 2 months old....but to me she's ALREADY 2 months old. Time is too fast, I wish it would slow down. When Bridget was born I didn't seem like reality. They pulled her out, gave her to the nursery staff and I just saw this tiny black haird baby screaming across the room. Andy kept saying "There she is sweetie, thats our baby" It didn't seem real, I was in a dream. Andy handed her to me and I just kept thinking...wow...you look Asian! She had these squinty eyes, HUGE cone head and tons of dark hair. She was beautiful to me. And the next day she looked so different, I just held her for hours thinking...wow I did this...I accomplished child birth. I was so proud of myself. When Monday came and we went home, it was refreshing. The shock wore off and I still just held her for hours thinking...wow I did this....And now that she's 2 months old...I still sit and think...wow I did this. She snuggles into my neck when I burp her, and when she's had enough of everyone else she cries for me. I wrap her in my arms, kiss her cheeks and tell her "punkin nose, your ok, mama's right here." She has these giant blue eyes and chubby cheeks and after she wakes up she'll smile at you and coo until your heart is so full you think 'could anything be cuter'. She's addicting. Tomarrow I start work, I'm not looking forward to time away from my little peanut. But this day and age, how else can we provide the best things in life for her? I'm counting the days until Andy graduates, then I can be full time mommy part time work-a-holic.

2 Months Old

Rolly Polly...

2009-03-20T10:59:00.000-07:00

Today I slept in. Andy took Bridget downstairs to play and he ran upstairs and said "She can roll over, watch this" So I grabbed the video camera....and ta-da! Our little girl can roll over!! We are so proud. She is exactly 2 months today.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

2009-02-28T20:27:00.000-08:00

Cousin Cody was singing to Bridget today, I couldn't resist, had to find the camera! You'll have to turn off the music on my blog....scroll to the bottom of the page and hit 'pause' before you play this video. Otherwise you can't hear Cody singing...

1 month old

2009-02-27T10:49:00.000-08:00

Bridget 1 month old!!! She loves music and listening to mommy and daddys voice. She smiles when you kiss her chubby cheeks, and her head is so strong!

Our little Valentine!

Finally I found the cord to my camera. Here are the updated pictures of our nursery. I give all the credit to Andy and my mom. They teamed up and designed the nursery. We have a few finishing touches to finish this week...hopefully this week because she's due any day now!

Pregnant Chick

2009-01-18T15:06:00.000-08:00

So these are from my cell phone. I would post better pictures but can't find the cord to my camera. This is what I look like in the last week of pregnancy...

Kitchen Remodel

2008-07-29T20:37:00.000-07:00

Andy and I decided we hated our standard kitchen. So as soon as the builders handed over the keys we ripped out the cabinet doors and Andy made these ones. We also put in granite counters and wood floors. Now it looks like home!

When we first moved in. We have a yard and fence now so it looks really different...maybe I'll get new pictures soon...

Baby on the way.....

2008-07-29T20:04:00.000-07:00

They say birth control is 99% effect, I guess that means we're that lucky 1% that don't get the effects of birth control. Yup, we're expecting our first baby January 27Th. It seems so far away but thank goodness we have time to plan and rearrange. So far I've learned morning sickness needs a new name....like 24 hour sickness or 'oh my goodness does this ever end' sickness. And we have learned the skill of patience, or should I say...Andy has learned the skill of patience. I've been a little uptight these past few weeks considering I'm exhausted and HUNGRY!! I've never ate so much in my life! Of course I eat like a bird but it's all day long and thru out the night too. This is crazy. Whoever says pregnancy is fun is crazy! I don't recommend it. Ask me in a few months, maybe I'll hit the exciting stage...until then, I'm enjoying naps and long feet messages!!

Yard Work!

2008-06-13T22:26:00.000-07:00

This is for sure a working progress. Andy and I have decided we know nothing about plants. So we hired out! AKA mom! She is a pro when it comes to a yard. So we gave her a budget and let her creativity run!

Andy's Desk

2008-06-13T22:08:00.000-07:00

I'm so proud of this project. Andy decided he needed a custom made desk....and a few more woodworking tools.

Memorial Weekend

2008-06-13T20:58:00.000-07:00

Andy and I flew to California. We were excited for vacation time together. But most importantly we got to spend time with our nephew Jack, Andy's brother Justin and wife Tina. We love California and spending time with them. It went by too fast!!

I did it!

2008-06-13T20:56:00.000-07:00

We're officially 'on-line'. We finally came into this century, we bought internet and cable! I even installed my wireless router all by myself! Andy is so proud! So this is us.......
