Big News....Double News!!!!!!!!!!!

So I had my first Dr apt yesterday. Justin doesnt like to take of work and since this is our 3rd pregnancy we pretty much know what to expect, so he decided he didnt want to go, but since I go the the Dr an hour and half away it makes it hard to want to go by myself. So my mother in law and grandmother in law went. Boy am I glad they did. The Dr did a sonogram and told me Im 7 weeks pregnant which is right on track with what I had calculated.....but Im pregnant with TWINS!!!! Yes TWINS!!!!! I had EVERY emotion run through my body when he told me this. I has happy, scared, I cried, and laughed. It was nuts. There was acutally another baby, but it didnt develop and he said my body would absorb that sac. So I have 2 healthy babies with great heart beats in my tummy! Talk about pressure. WOW They are in different sacs so that is the most common thing to look for to see if they are identical. He said they there is a small chance they could still be that we will have to wait till we find out the gender or I have them. WOW again. So I go back in 2 weeks for another sonogram so he can measure their growth. He said I will be seeing him a lot more and getting a lot of sonograms. He told me my goal was to carry them to 34 weeks and to rest and eat!!!! So Im sure Im going to have lots of fun updates to post. WOW WOW WOW what a day and a blessing.

Hos far along? 7 weeks

Babies size? They measured the same so they are about the size of a Rasberry!

Weight Gain? I think like 2 pounds, but not real sure. Since I have 2 Im going to try and not let this bother me so much.

Maternity clothes? Well this will explain why I was starting to get a tummy so fast. I bought a couple shirts and some really cool low waist pants and can wear them, but not everything is maternity.

Stretch marks? haha remember my first child was 10 pounds so yet I got them with him. None with Briley and hopefully none with this one.

Belly button in or out? In

Sleep? Pretty good at times, but Im cramping a lot cause everything is moving and I have to go to the bathroom a lot.

Foods I am loving? Apple Sauce! YUMMY

Foods I am hating? I hate to even look at Fish! YUCK

Best moment this week? Seeing the heartbeat of my 2 babies!!!

Movement? Its too early for this, but I cant wait.

Symptoms? Nasty Nausea and throwing up!

Gender? Too early to tell and we are for sure finding out!!!

What I miss? Nothing so far.

What I'm looking forward to? My growing belly, The baby kicking and moving, and my kids faced when they get to feel the babies.

Emotions: EVERY emotion you could have I have.

Will update later on and try and post my sonogram picture.

We are a growing family!!!! :)

We are so happy and still a little shocked to say we are expecting #3 in July!!! Justin and I had just both been to the Dr to talk about our options to get fixed. We felt it was time so we could be done with the, Do we want another? or No we are done!!! So this is truly a blessing from above in just in time. I havent taken any pictures and havent even been to the Dr yet, but I have done 2 blood test and my HCG levels are climbing through the roof. The kids are both really excited and ready for it to start moving a long too. So I guess this will be my first fun baby question blog.

How far along? 5 weeks

Weight Gain? Nothing yet.

Belly button in or out? In

Sleep? Pretty good. My back kinda hurts and Im going to the bathroom at least once. Its just the begining too.

Foods I am loving? Im not having any cravings yet, but I do love cherry limeaids when Im pregnant cause they seem to help with my nausea. yuck

Foods I am hating? Nothing really.

Best moment this week? Getting to tell Justins Family on his Dads Birthday!!!

Movement? Its too early for this, but I cant wait.

My first apt is Dec 12 so Im sure I will update again after that if not before.

Loosing Teeth means Growing up

So Beau has had a loose tooth for about 8 months. When the dentist first told me I was so excited we would wiggle it every night. Well after about 2 months of doing that I got upset cause it wasnt coming out and so did Beau. We decided we would just stop for a while....and eventually it came out. First one then not even a week later the 2nd one. So needless to say they can stop falling out now cause I can see his other teeth coming through and these baby teeth are all thats left of my big boys baby features.






Both teeth he lost are the bottom middle ones. He has a space between his front 2 teeth that he used to think he had lost a tooth from. For the longest time I was so worried about this space, but the dentist informed me this is great so that he will have plenty of room for his (I dont want to say it) BIG boy teeth.

Sea world

Our first real Family Vacation took place labor day weekend of 2011. We were all very excited to be going to sea world. (I think I was more excited than anyone, thats the wanna be marine biologist in me) Anyways we went down on a Friday as soon as school let out. Our kids LOVE hotels. They always ask if we can just go to a hotel for a road trip. I used to think it was cause they had a pool, but this time we didnt have anytime to enjoy the pool. When we drive by certain hotels Briley will say mom we lived there for a week before. lol Silly girl.


We got up early and had breakfast and loaded up the car. This was the begining of the day and I still heard mom do we have to take pictures. Geez kids let me have something to remember the moment. When we printed all the pictures Justin said I took more of the animals then the kids and I said it was cause the animals didnt complain. lol

Wil waiting to get in these cool guys gave us time to take pictures. Beau was so excited, but Briley said no way. (she would soon warm up to this)

My 2 boys waiting on Shamu!

Me and my Princess. She didnt want to wait very long, she knew there was a lot of stuff to see.

This isnt a good picture, but one of my favorites. Beau told everyone the he was going to ride Shamu and he would jump over someone while riding on his back. He never mentioned this while we were actually there. Im thinking he realized how large Shamu was and changes his mind. Anyways this just show the biggest smile of the day. It was right when Shamu jumped out of the water. It was worth the drive and every penny to see him smile so much.

Briley warmed up. This was while eating lunch. She even wanted to dance on stage with all these little characters.

We went to 2 Shamu shows. This was at the 2nd one. The first one was called off after about 10 mins into it cause the whales started fighting. Justin and I were both shocked and were like wow did that really happen. Anyways we went back towards the end of the day and had awesome seats again. We got wet and I mean REALLY wet. The look on the kids faces was GREAT! Briley still will tell you when you ask her about Sea World, she says it was cold, wet and salty. lol

So Justin and I are roller coaster junkies. So this being said were kinda bummed we couldnt ride any of the big rides. (he would of gone without me, but Im too chicken to do it without him) Anyways there is a ride that we could all do on and of course we were going to go. This was the kids right before we got on.

Proof the my kids did this.

This was us at the top of the roller coaster. I wish I could of taken a picture of the kids faces. I think we would of won Americas Funniest Videos. In the middle of it I looked at Justin and said, Are we bad parents for making our kids ride this. lol we both just laughed.

This is a picture of the last hill you go down before you splash into the water. It was very fun and both kids are going to take after us and be thrill seekers!!!!!



We ended the night with fire works and it was the best show ever. I was very suprised that we all lasted from open to close. Beau also did some of the big water park and did slides that I wont do. (Im a huge roller coaster fan, but when it comes to water slide....IM OUT) Anyways he did them with Justin while Briley and I chilled in the kiddie pool area. Over all it was a great first family vacation and if our family stays the size it is cant wait to travel somewhere a little further and more adventorous next summer.

First Day of 1st Grade

So my little (big) guy started 1st grade this year. He was very excited and so was mommy, but I was also a little sad. Im very proud of everything that he has acomplished, but he growing up and it seems like we just brought him home from the hospital yesterday. Over the summer the kids are offered to buy a summer work book to help them stay up with what they learned the previous year. If the kids finish this and bring it back to school the first week they get a reward and also get to go on a extra fun day trip. This year they went to the bounce house and he had an awesome time. I am amazed at how much he has learned how to read. They read books and take test over them, right now he is working on reading the book and then reading the questions and the answers and processing it correctly to get the question right. Im amazed as I watch his mind work when he does all this.

This is a picture I snapped right before we ran out the door. Of course mom wanted to walk him in and stay and watch, and Beau let me, but made it very clear that he didnt need me there. I cry thinking about the day when he says bye mom and gets in his own truck and drives to school. Sad day, but I just hope we've raised him with a confident and string mind and he knows what is right.

Love to my little man!

Rambling....

So today started off like any normal school day!! I was not wanting to get up before everyone else, but I did and Briley was right behind me. Seems like its unfair that the boys in this house sleep later this us??? lol anyways when I woke Beau up he seemed fine, but once he got in the kitchen he said he didnt feel good. He went on to school, but his daddy picked him up around 10ish. He has watched movies all day and says he has a headache, but hoping he will get some extra good sleep tonight and be ready for a good day tomorrow. For the 2 hours he was at school, Briley and I ran our errands in town and also went down to the dairy office and got caught up on all the August books. Hopefully Thursday and Friday I can wrap up this month. Dana has been down for almost 3 weeks since she had her foot surgery so Ive been trying to help her with her counseling job at the school and whatever she needs done at the house. Tomorrow will be an exciting day if Beau can go back to school....I am going to sub for P.E!!! I am so excited not only cause its my first time, but its also P.E.! I hope its as good as a day as it is in my head. Thursday Im getting my hair done and very excited to be trying a new girl out that a dear friend recommended. Friday will be payroll day at the dairy and then Im going to take Dana to her dr apt so she can hopefully finally get her walking boot and maybe get back to a semi normal life. lol This Saturday we will have a football game and I need to do some much needed grocery shopping. (Im still hoping to one day be a great couponer...... the most Ive ever saved is $68 and that was great, but man Id love to be able to only pay $68 for my groceries) Anyways hopefully we will all get a lot of much needed rest on Sunday. Monday its on to Dallas to meet up Dairymax and some other producers to work on our radio ads and Tuesday we will be recording. Busy rest of the week and part of next so far. On another note...its that time that Justin and I need to decide if we would like to have another baby or not. We arent getting any younger and our kids are just getting older by the second. There are great things about having another and not. We could have another one and be blessed beyond words, could spoil our 2 more then words lol, or even wait and adopt later on. Im just ready to make some plans. I like to know what my life is going to be like daily. Hopefully I will get that summer update on here soon.

Needing to Update

I havent updated at all this summer. I have a lot I want to share, but want to think about it all and put in in order in my head before I start to post. So instead I am going to steal some questions about some other bloggers have posted...just a little fun and about me time!!!

IF I COULD HAVE ANY JOB IN THE WORLD: It would still be a stay at home mom! I stayed at home with Beau for 13 months and I was young and dont believe that I enjoyed it to the fullest. With Briley I went back to work at 4 weeks and kept her with me at my office till she was 4 months, I stayed working till just 3 months ago. I like to work and bring in some income to help the family, but its not neccesary and my kids are growing up way to fast!
IF I WERE TO GET PREGNANT AGAIN: I would be happy. We are so up in the air right now about having another or not. I think I dont like the not knowing. As long as the baby can be healthy and my kids now are happy, I think it would be a wonderful blessing that God has blessed us with.
IF I HAD A DAY ALL TO MYSELF: I would sleep in till I wanted to get up, go get a pedicure, and a good lunch with friends, then maybe some shopping and go to bed early.
IF I COULD REDO MY WEDDING: I wouldnt change a thing. It was my wedding and it was perfect.
IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE: Well it would be were all my family was together, and I could have a beach and Justin could have some mountains. lol
IF I COULD HAVE ANY WISH IN THE WORLD: I think it would be to bring peace to all I could.
IF BEAU HAD BEEN A GIRL HIS NAME WOULD OF BEEN: Briley Lane Broumley
IF BRILEY HAD OF BEEN A BOY HER NAME WOULD OF BEEN: Ryder (dont know) Broumley
IF MONEY WERE NOT AN OBJECT: I would donate as much as possible to childs research and to help cure cancer. Also adopt as many children as possible and have a huge house to provided as many kids as possible with a place to call home.
IF I COULD GO BACK AND CHANGE MY DEGREE: I would finally finish. I never did finish since the mommy duty called my name!!! :)
WHEN YOU FIRST MEET ME YOU THINK: I would hope that Im nice and honest.
IF I HAD TO SHOP AT ONE STORE THE REST OF MY LIFE: It would hands down be TARGET!!!!! I love that store.
IF I COULD BE A CELEBRITY FOR A DAY: This is hard, Id like to say one that portrays a positive picture, but those are far and few between.
IF WE GET ANOTHER PET IT WOULD BE: I dont know what at this point. We have enough right now, but adding another chicken wouldnt be bad. They dont need anything and they provide us eggs.
IF I COULD GO ON A TRIP RIGHT NOW WITH EVERYTHING PAID: I would go to Hawaii and take everyone in my family. That is a once in a lifetime trip.
IF I COULD HAVE ANY PLASTIC SURGERY: Im thinking it would be a boob josb and tummy tuck??? Children do all kinds of things to your body. lol totally worth it though.
IF I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A HOUSE CLEANER OR A PERSONAL CHEF: Im 100% it would be a house cleaner!!!!! I can cook all day everyday, I just cant keep this house clean with a 6 year old boy with his cars everywhere and a 3 year old girl that feels the need to put on a new outfit every hour. lol

Well thats all of the questions I have. Hopefully I can post some pictures and update soon on how the kids summer went.

May Catch Up

May was a very busy month for us. It started off with the kiddos birthday party. This year I decided to have their party together in order to try and save us time and money. I would say it was a sucess. It was a little chilly for us adults to go swimming, but it didnt stop the kids. They same and even tubed. BURRRRR! Over all they had a good time and it only took one day from our busy schedule.

My sweet 3 year old princess and my cute 6 year old pirate. The theme they wanted was Pirates and Princess. It was very cute.

This is Beau with his traditional Bday donut!!!

This is Beau on his last day of kindergarden, its also slash day thats why he has a swim suit on. I cant beleieve how fast this year has flown by.

I didnt really take any pictures of out $ day trip to Lake Buchanan for a mini vacation, but we had a good time. Lots of swimming, fishing, and good friends.

Over all May was a great month, Bday party, Mothers day, Texas Steak Cook off, and Vacation.

Now only if June can drag a little cause its summer and I want it to last!!!

Briley Bugs 3rd Birthday!!!

Our Briley Bug turned 3 today. I cant believe she has grown up so fast!!! She is a very out spoken energetic girl. She never meets a stranger. She loves being a princess and everything that has sparkles or glitter, but then she can be rough and tough and right in the middle of the action. I tease that she is going to show up at her prom in a sparkley dress with her cowgirl boots and her hair in a pony tail. LOL (if thats what she chooses then thats what she will get) The picture below was her at the hospital when she was born. She was such a blessing and a wonderful baby. Slept several hours at a time during the night and was so relaxed and down with whatever. As soon as she turned a year old thats when she started to shine!!! Her Poppa (aka Justins Dad) teased me through my whole pregnany that he wanted a danty little girl, well there is nothing danty about her, but he wouldnt trade her for the world now. She was so little to me when she was born. 7 lbs 1oz and 20.5 inches, you gotta remember that this was after her brother and he was 10lbs and 21.5 inches. She didnt stay little long.
This picture was taking today at one of our family Easters.

We celebrated her birthday, by getting the traditional donut, going to get the beloved family dog from the vet, then to the family Easter to eat, hunt eggs, and eat some pink cup cakes. I let her pick out the cup cakes I would make and she picked out pink ones with pink icing. Hope the family liked strawberry today. We were on our way to get ice cream a second ago from Sonic, but her Daddy was called out to a fire. She is ok with that, she said she would take a rain check!!

We are going to have her a party, but not till May 15. Beau's Birthday is May 25, so this year I decided to combined the partys and we are having them at the Lake!!!! It should be a lot of fun. I will post a picture of the invitation that I finally found. It was really hard cause she wanted what other...a Princess party and Beau wanted a Pirate party. Well this mom came to the rescue!!!

Justin and I are so very thankful to be blessed with such a sweet and loving little girl. She along with Beau are our worlds. I know she will always be postive in what she does and go forward with life looking up and ahead. She will make a beautiful person as she grows and I am so blesses and thankful I can call her my daughter and she calls me her mom!!!!

Love ya baby girl. Kisses, Hugs, and Happy Birthdays from Daddy, Mommy, and Beau!!!!

7th Year Anniversary

April 17 was Justin and my 7th year Anniversary. We usually dont do a whole lot and it was the same for this year. We went out to eat and then drove around in his blazer on the back roads looking at all the awesome scenery and the old farm houses. We saw many and boy if they could tell us their stories it would be amazing. We actually did get each other a gift this year, he had snuck over to a store right accross from my work and bought me a purse I had been wanting and I FINALLY got him started on his own personal collection of power tools. (Im sure there will be a lot more to come through the years) The picture to the left was of us on that special day. His Aunt Donna took it and then mailed it to us later, it actually became one of my favorites! I had Dand take a picture of us the night we went out so I will get that and post it on here as well. The last 7 years have been full of joy mainly but we have had our hardships, but it has done nothing but bring us closer together and help us fall deeper in love. We have 2 beautiflul kids that keep us on our toes. We have thrown up the thought of having a 3rd, but think that we want to wait just a little longer. We are blessed beyond measure and I am so thankful I have such a strong supportive husband to hold and cherish me.

So Proud of Beau

Today was awards day for Beau's School. Justin and I are so very proud of everything he has done this year. He is always willing to do his work and read his books and any activity that they do at the school is if jumping up and down to get involved. This makes us very happy and hopefully its the start of some great years that are ahead. Beau received the Citizen of the 6 Weeks award today. The picture above is him and Mrs. Strickland. She has been my saving grace being his first teacher. This momma wasnt ready for my baby boy to grow up, and thankfully his teacher has her youngest that is just 1 year older then Beau. Lets just say we text message quite offten.....or she will text me to reassure that Beau is ok. Congrats Beau Mommy, Daddy, and Briley are very happy for you!!!!

Our First Family Lake Trip of 2011

Its a tiny picture, but it was taken with my iphone and if I make is any bigger its gets blurry. This was taken Saturday April 2nd. Justin and Beau headed to lake about 3 and Briley and I got there about 5. We had a blast fishing. The water is still only 65 degrees so theres no way Im getting in. The kids actually were ok with not swimming. We caught several sand bass this day. Beau was the first one to get one and then me. Justin soon followed and he caught more then anyone. This was on of the biggest so we had to have a family picture. I caught one that must have been pregnant and poor fish she had to be miserable. lol Anyways I think its spose to rain this weekend so we wont be able to go then, but as soon as we have another warm sunny Saturday we will be back out there. Im so glad we have the boat and that the kids enjoy it as much as Justin and I do. Its going to be an amazing summer.

Sick Kiddo and Laundry Days

So no pictures for this blog, but I need to write. We had a great weekend it started it off with our Friday family trip to the grocery store and a good old CiCi's trip. We have been trying really hard to cut back on our eating out so this works out well. We had bought a discount card for $10 from our local football kids, with this if you buy an adult dinner you get a kids one free and then Briley eats free since she is under 4 and then I usually just eat a salad so thats only $3.99. Our total bill is under $15 for all 4 of us. The kids like it cause we will take some quarters we have around the house and let them play a couple of games or get some prizes. Also out HEB trips are hectic, but I have been couponing and this time I saved $58.02 and I didnt buy one thing that we dont use or get everytime. They say thats the one rule to always follow. Im not interested in stocking up, just saving when I can. On to Saturday, this was a GREAT day. Briley went to spend a couple of hours with my mom while I meet up with 2 of my best friends from highschool. This was a WELL needed day. We went to lunch and it was just like we had seen each other the night before. I love those girls. 5 years of not seeing each other and it was just the same. I am very thankful to know that I have a friendship with them that after all these years is still the same. We went through hell in back in highschool with each other and I think we will always be there for each other. After that Briley and I hooked it back to Hico for our camping trip with some friends. This was great the kids had a blast and the parents just hung out. It was good all till about 9pm when Briley told me she wanted to go home, I felt her and she had fever. She ran 104 all night so Sunday after lunch when it was still 104 I took her to the ER and what not she had the flu. Im really thinking that this family has a Welcom Flu sign posted on us. UGH So that being the case Monday and Tuesday I stayed home with her. She is much better tonight and tomorrow she is going back to school and Im heading back to the office. These last couple days I did catch up on laundry and really enjoyed having the house all picked up and dinner ready for when Justin got home. We of course arent as rushed so that makes it nice. We have dinner, homework time, bath, a snack, then some play time or tv time before bed. (in my case its my blogging time) So another thought thats been on my mind while being at home these last 2 days I how much money we waste. Its terrible. So I have looked at some budget programs and going to get started with one. Im not sure which one so if you have any suggestions please share. What my goal is going to be is within 6 to 8 months have EVERYTHING paid off. Its very possible. Once its all done its crazy how much we can be saving. I never realized just how much money we waste. We have always been truly blessed to not have to do without and we pretty much go and do as we please. This is all about to change. We will still have some play money to keep out sanity. Just like the savings at HEB of $58.02 I told you about, well Im going to write that amount in a check and send off to pay a bill. Im pretty excited about my new motivation. Of course in end we will be the winners still, but there is a little bit of motivation that I cant share just yet. lol Until next time, be safe and hug the ones you love and make sure you tell them.

My Blog's Purpose

So I started blogging so I would have a place to tell my story. I know I have friends to tell it to and they will listen, but its really nice to just type away and to even go back and read what we were up to thoughout the months. So that being said here is my story for today and whats going on this weekend in the Broumely house! So today I figured out how to change my background, of course Im sure I will change it a million times before I fall in love with one. I also added a playlist. Right now if only included Jack Johnson. I enjoy his music and how each song can relate to some part of my life, rather past, present, or the future. I wish I could figure out how to search for different blogs by peoples name and not the url. Im sure it will come. So its Friday and the end of Spring break. Beau has spent all week with his Dad, my mom, and today Justin's parents, so he wont be ready for school next week. Justin parents took both my kids to see Rango today!! I hope Briley Bug sat through it. They are also keeping the kids tonight for Justin and I. What to do what to do???? I want to go finish laundry, eat, rent a movie, and go to bed early, but Justin wants to go do something. Humm..... Im sure we will agree on something. Saturday we have a wedding to go to and afterwards we got to get Beau all his new Tball stuff. I am coaching his team this year and I am SUPER excited. That all starts next week. Sunday Justin is going to take the boat to the lake and do some fishing. He will also make sure everything is in full go mode for the first day we can all get to the lake. We cant wait!!!! I started to planning my kiddos bday party! Whoooo of course its going to be at the lake and we are going to do them together this year!!!!

On the Dairy Farm

As most of you know we have a Dairy Farm here in Hico. My father in law and his Dad started it in 1981 so its been in business for 30 years. We currently milk Jersey cows (the blue bell cow Elsie) and really enjoy them. Up intill 2004 they milked Holsteins, but went through a TB scare and every cow had to be put down only to find after all test were ran that it was a false negative. This was a HUGE blow, but my father in law has a VERY good head on his sholders and not only made great decisions, but also kept his spirits up and kept on keeping on. lol Anyways a Dairy Farm is an amazing place to raise a family. My kids enjoy everything about it, rather it been going to work with dad or poppa, or feeding the baby cows, or even Brileys favorite riding in the tractor on the buddy seat. So I decided to post some pictures of the kids (that were taken last summer) with the baby calves and their poppa.

This is Beau's gator. He got this Christmas when he was 2, it took a while for him to learn how to drive, but he got it down fast. Briley always asked when she was littler to go for a ride in bubba gatoraid. It was so cute. She now has a pink barbie jeep that she likes, but its not as good as the gator.

Beau and Briley with a baby calf. Note the tongue coming out the window. lol

My daughter that has a Princess attitude about everything like shoes and her clothes is the BIGGEST tom boy EVER! She loves to be outside, to touch bugs and animals, and when we go to the lake once she has her life jacket on she is gone, jumping off the boat and riding in the tube with no help. Neither on of my kids have made an ER trip due to a injury, but I have a feeling she will be the one if it happens.

This is my wonderful father in law Keith AKA Poppa to the kids. They look up to him so much. He is the sweetest most compasioniate man ever. He is willing to talk to anyone and everyone who comes to the dairy and will show them around everywhere. He gets up before dawn and works way past dark. He is the reason my family has EVERYTHING we do. I know that my husband will follow in his footsteps and I hope my kids do too. Im so glad he is willing to take the time to spend with my kids so they can have great memories of their Poppa.

Mr. Beau!!

So pretty much thats just my kids at the dairy with the baby calves, but you get the idea. Hopefully this summer I can post a lot more about the dairy and more pictures.

Updating the past year!

So since I havent updated in over a year, I guess this will be one very long blog! Im going to go over a little here and there of what our year was like!


This is Beau and Briley being very nice to each other (very rare) at Fossil Rim. This was Beau's 2nd time to go and Briley's 1st! They had a blast. Hopefully we can go back again real soon. Oh well this is our Miss Priss at Easter. Every Easter we go to both of Justin's grandparents. This was at his moms parents. The thought she owned the place and was a fashion super star.

My Sweet Handsome Young Man at Easter!

Just a picture of Justin and I. We rarely take picures, and Im sure by Justins face you can tell why. What a party pooper!

Briley turned 2 years old in April. This was a difficult month for us, or should I say January through April was tough. Briley started getting really sick with high fever. We took her to about 4 different Doctors before 1 finally figured it out. She ran 102 fever consitantly for about 6 weeks. They thought she had the flu at one point and put her on tami flu and that only made her sicker. Finally out life savor Doctor (that we are still using) found out she has kidney reflux and had a bladder and kidney infection. So for the past year she has been on antibotics and we will repeat the precedure in April 2011 to see if she has out grown this or will have to take the next step.

Oh heres my handsome 5 year old! Happy 5th Bday Buddy. Your growing up wayyyyy to fast.

ZOO day! This was in June. I had found out in May that I had a tumor in my thyroid that needed to be taken out. So in June I went thru a surgery that remove just half of my thyroid. Right before this Justin and I wanted to do something fun with the kids so we went to the Waco Zoo. Its very nice and about half the size of Ft Worth so its perfect for us. I am really thinking this summer we will be making the trip to Ft Worth though. My surgery went well, but only to find out that in October I would need the other side taken out. I went throught that with no problems and am hopefully back on track with my levels.

This is Justin and I and Beau and his cousin Preslee. Dairy Max is an amazing company that works with Dairy Producers in our area to promote out milk and other products. The always have events and promotion things they are sending us too. This is a Rangers game, were Justin and I were recongnized. It was a lot of fun. VERY VERY HOT but a lot of fun. Also with Dairy Max I have done some Radio Ads about what Dairy Farmers can provide, we also did a TV show called American Dairy, and last but not least the Fuel Up to Play 60! This is a program that promotes fueling up with all your milk and veggies and going out and getting 60 mins of exercise everyday. They are teamed up with the NFL and are hitting schools all around to help out kids live a better life style.

4th of July!

These 2 above pictures were of out trip to Lake Buchanan. We went and stayed in a cabin for 3 nights. We took the kids to the Long Horn Caverns, fished, and swam. We had so much fun that the next month we bought us a boat of our own. We had so much fun the last month of summer and CANT wait till this summer. Both kids birthday partys will be at a lake that right by us and have already book a trip to go back to Lake Buchannan the weekend that school gets out.

This picture breaks my heart. This is Beau's 1st day of school. He has grown up so fast and into such a sweet, loving, and caring little boy. He has done great all year and loves school, his teacher, and all his new friends. We are so very proud of him.

My RUGRATS on Halloween!

(My 2nd thyroid surgery was 4 days before Halloween, I was so worried I would miss out, but the kids did great and I tagged along...slowly)

Briley and Beau at Christmas with Santa. I was so afraid that Briley would not like him this year! OH BOY was I wrong......As soon as he walked in her face light up and she said Santa..... do you have your HO HO. Needless to say it was a great Christmas with both kids.

Well that took you through out year of ups and downs. No matter what happens we will always have the 4 of us and thats all that matters. Both kids are growing stronger everyday, the find new discoveries. They love each other and hate each other on days, but I know in the end they will be closer then ever as they continue through life. Justin and I are so busy these days, he is on the VFD here and still on the dairy working non stop, I am still selling insurance and also on the PTO and we are both helping with the Texas Steak Cook off again this year. We hope that this year wont be as hectic with medical issues and we can settle into a nice long and full of lake time summer. I plan on updating more often and hopefully get better and better at this blogging. Until next time, love from the Broumleys!
