Family pics from Katti's wedding

I love these 2 pics of Grandma B and Kenna.  Love the adoring look on Grandma's face and how excited Makenna is to be held by Grandma.  She's always so fascinated with her fun jewelry:) 


Love that she's holding her booger sucker in this one.... ha!


One of my faves;)

A nice family pic!

Love this two pics with Grandma and Grandpa! Grandma has such a sweet smile in the bottom one here - Makenna sure does make everyone happy;)  We love you sweet girl!!

Please pray for Owen

My heart is heavy as I follow the story of a triplet mom in Milwaukee that is so close to possibly losing one of her 6 month old triplet babies.  Please pray for Owen and for Melissa and Doug.  They are friends of Rachel's she has met through her moms of multiples group.  My heart breaks for them.... they can use your prayers!

Fun with the triplets... well, Quincy at least

Is that all you got, Auntie Rachel?  You gotta try harder if you want us to smile


Let me massage your shoulders...

Ok, that's a little better Rachel, but you better hurry, Makenna's on the move

Aren't we cute?

More Brewer pics...

What a great day at the ballpark - a win might have helped, but we had fun nonetheless.  Thanks for coming down Mom and Dad (and for all the help in the yard today) and thanks Daddy for taking the afternoon off and joining us!  What a fun early birthday present for mama!

Nothin' cuter than a daddy and his little girl at the ball park!

Hangin out with Papa

Happy Mother's Day!


What a great weekend!  Mother's day has always been a tough one for me - I love my mom and appreciate her oh so much, but there has always been that part of me that wondered if I would ever be able to celebrate Mother's day with a child of my own.  It's a really tough holiday for infertiles and I'm sure it is for a lot of women that have lost children or lost their mothers.  Please continue to pray with me for all those ladies out there that are still waiting for their first mother's day.  Today was bittersweet as I celebrated with my baby girl, but thought alot about all those ladies in my life that are still waiting.

We were able to head up north yesterday to see Brad's grandparents and then my family.  Makenna had a blast hammin' it up for everyone.

Resting up for the big day ahead of her!

With Great Grandma and Grandpa

Checking out the view...
Time for a snack break:) 

Enough with the camera, mommy!

Givin' mama some cuddles..


And daddy some lovin'


Now, on to Oma and Papa's house!  Such a silly Papa!

Getting brave on Oma's chair

Such a big girl

Happy Mother's Day Oma!!  We love you!!

Posing with Oma's pretty flowers


Daddy, don't eat my face!

Thank you for a wonderful Mother's Day weekend, baby girl!  I couldn't ask for a sweeter baby.  Yesterday when Brad and I were driving back to Milwaukee, we were talking a bit about Mother's Day and how I was excited to be finally celebrating it and I mentioned (with tears streaming down, of course) that as much as infertility sucked, I would go through it all over again if it meant having Makenna in my arms today.  He was sweet enough to write in my card from her this morning that she loves me so much that she would be frozen all over again if it meant having me for a mommy.  I thought that was sweet.  I am one lucky mama and wifey!
