Josiah Eugene

The moment we have all been waiting for: Katye had her baby.
Here are his stats:
Name: Josiah Eugene Brooks a.k.a. - Joey
Birthday: April 23, 2009
Height: 19 inches long
Weight: 7lbs and 6oz
Other: He is totally cute and snuggly


Abby is really excited to be a big sister. Except when he is cranky. Katye says she waves her hands and says "Don't want it!!"

Mommy and Joey

Abby, Mommy and Joey! What a cute family :]



Hey Miss Bwittany

Friday I got to hang out with my boyfriends, Jacob and Nathan!! We had a pretty fun day. The weather was gorgeous soNathan and I took a walk in the stroller while Jacob went for a ride on his bike.
Nathan hanging in the grass while I try to figure out how to unfold the crazy stroller

SUCCESS!! We got it unfolded :]

See that little speck on wheels? Yep! That's Jacob. Off he goes


Then later that night Justin and I went to Codorus and sat by the lake for a picnic. It was so sweet. I packed everything in the cooler and off we went. On the menu: sandwiches, pasta salad, chips, lemonade, deviled eggs and oreo cookies :] Pictures to be posted later :]

Addictive Tendencies

I realized today that I have quite a few addictions. All perfectly safe and legal but detrimental to my time :]

1. Ghost Hunters - every wednesday night.
2. Rock Band - Justin & I bought it and we can't stop playing.
3. Coffee- Like all other adults in the world :]
4. Amazon.com - I can't stop ordering books. I am so back-logged it's ridiculous.
5. Arts & Crafts - I like keeping my hands busy, what can I say.


Lately, I have been dipping my hands into so many things, but I never seem to finish them :]

I have a baby shift today at work which is probably the best. I have been working too much to nurse myself back to health. Sleeping in this morning was amazing :] Then if I have enough time, I am going shopping for Justin's anniversary present :] 9 more days! I can't wait!! We have so many fun things planned :]

Justin thinks I'm a little frivolous because I spent money on Norton Internet Security today. But there is a massive virus going around from Facebook, so I want to make sure my computer doesn't get it. Off to work.

21 and Legal

Friday was Justin's 21st Birthday! Woot Woot!! We all went to Hot Wiener for lunch and the to play some mini golf. I kicked Justin's behind! 75 to 80 strokes :] Ha! Then Friday night, Fred, Justin and I went to Kclinger's to get Justin some drinks and nachos! It was alot of fun. The band playing that night wasn't too bad either. I think they were the Flat Tops. We were only missing one person in our party. Ella wasn't feeling good so Brandee stayed home with her. Next time, Bran, next time :] Saturday, we went to Arundel Mills Mall and I took Justin to Medieval Times. The only thing the love of my life REALLY wanted to do for his birthday, was play skee ball. So we went to Dave & Buster's.


After the birthday celebrations were over things finally started to settle down. Easter was nice, except I had to work. Which wasn't too bad. My grandmother saved me some of my favorites. And Justin brought me some dessert from his family's dinner, which was really good :]

I pretty much cleaned my tush off today. I did three loads of laundry and tore my room apart looking for my keys so I had to put it back together. And then I cleaned my car and FOUND MY KEYS! yay!! Now I don't have to worry if they got thrown away at the gas station down the street :] Work tonight and tomorrow and class tomorrow night :] Whew! I cannot wait until Wednesday :]

Happy 21st Birthday Justin :]

Happy 21st Birthday to my sweetie!! Wow...I can't believe that we have been together since we were 17. That's crazy! I love him very much :]

Speaking of a certain someone's birthday .... we had a dinner party with my parents and grandparents last night. And boy was a I tired when we were done. I was up at 3:45 am to be at work at 5:30 and then entertained until about 8:30 at night. Whew.

We are going shopping this morning so he can spend his birthday money on some games :] And then we are going to Hot Weiner and either golfing or bowling. Pictures to be posted later :]

Baby Shower :]

So I realized that I do not know how to add pictures to this thing. But someday I will learn, I promise. Amber and I went to Katye's baby shower this past Saturday. We may have gone a little crazy with the baby shopping, but then again we always do. Guests: Mommy, Abby (Katye's almost 2 year old), Bren (Katye's mom), Melinda (Katye's aunt), 3 neighbors, Amber, Nicholas (Amber's almost 5 year old son) and yours truly. Captions below pictures :]

Josiah's cake! By the way...that's what Katye is naming the baby!
Mommy and Abby! She is so stinkin cute :]
Me, Mommy, and Amber! She hates people touching her belly.
Nicholas feeding Abby tiny bites of cake!
DIAPERS! Katye was really excited about these!
Katye is really digging monkeys for Josiah!
Abby coloring with Amber. We were playing games and she tried to color all over our papers :]

After the baby shower we went to dinner with Amber, Nick and Nicholas and then the four adults went to see The Last House on the Left (not recommended for young audiences!) But it was fun to get out and hang out with people our own age. Plus Nick and Justin hit it off talking about movies and video games. I see a friendship budding :]

Today, I have an appointment to get my eyes checked. And then the tedious task of picking out new frames begins. I have been playing around in the Vision Center at work and I have decided I look best in thin wire half frames or glasses that have no frames. So hopefully that narrows down my choices. And I might even look into ordering sunglasses :] woo hoo!

Procrastinating

I have been trying to write these papers for my class tomorrow...and I can't seem to stay focused. The days of sitting around and reading by the fireplace with some coffee are days long past. I can't wait until it it nice enough outside for me to sit on the deck in the crisp morning and read my book! That's my favorite!!

We didn't do a whole lot this weekend. I took the reading part of my PPST exam. I will get the results in about 3 to 4 weeks. For me, that is not soon enough. I wanted to know as soon as I filled in all of the circles with my no.2 pencil :] I will check everyday until I know if I passed or not :]

We spent all afternoon together though. Watching a really weird and poorly filmed movie...28 Days Later. No good! I do not recommend it. And then we played some Mario Kart :] Oh! and we made sundaes!! YUM!

Okay...enough prolonging. I have to write my papers :]
