Brennan and Sydney

After Sunday's post I figured I should give a more positive and accurate portrayal of Brennan! I was looking at our pictures and there are hardly ANY pictures of Sydney and me together. All of our pictures are of Brennan and Sydney or Sydney doing something cute-alone. Brennan hardly ever takes pictures, so that is why I don't get documented as having a part in my daughter's upbringing! But, luckily, I have so many wonderful pictures of Brennan spending time with her!

The 1st picture was taken at an Aggie baseball game. Brennan held her most of the time while we were there!

The 2nd picture was taken on the 4th of July. Sydney really enjoyed all of the other kids running around! She also really liked all of the glow sticks that everyone had!

The 3rd picture was taken at the zoo in Albuquerque. Whenever we go places and Sydney wants out of the stroller Brennan ALWAYS carries her. So, he usually ends up doing that because Sydney has figured out the system!

The 4th picture was taken at the duck pond at NMSU. We go there every so often. Sydney absolutely LOVES it. She chases the ducks and talks to them constantly. She usually eats the bread herself though. We sometimes have a hard time explaining to her that it is not for her to eat!

The 5th picture was taken at my sister's house in Deming. We were there for a birthday party for one of her kids. I THINK it was for Truman...but I really can't remember!

Anyway, I am so glad that I am blessed to have a husband that is so willing to help me and spend time with his own child! I know sometimes it is easy for men to keep doing what they "USED" to get to do. Love ya, Brennan.

Our Weekly Ritual

Well, it is a Sunday afternoon and our family ritual is in full swing. (Football) Seriously, I never realized just how many football games there are in a week, let alone a day! I love my husband, and I am glad he enjoys sports, but holy crap. I KNOW he doesn't even like these teams that are playing, and I used to be able to use that as leverage to get my way of changing the channel. But no, some 'genius' invented FANTASY FOOTBALL. If I ever get the opportunity to meet that guy I will have a few choice words for him! Now, these games that I used to be able to get to turn off are important because Heaven forbid we miss a play that would potentially gain my husband a point for his fantasy team. Now that we have DVR we even have the blessing of not missing a single game! Luckily, DVR comes with a fast forward button! I like when I have the remote. But, that silly fast forward button gets stuck sometimes and fast forwards a little too far sometimes. ;) hehe

Not only that, my daughter is now a part of the tradition. Although, I must say that I love seeing her in her jersey. She has to wear it every time the Steelers are playing. If only that was the only time football played in our home!! :) Also, football has now been extended not only to Monday nights, but Thursday also! :) I might be coming across a little too negative. I actually like watching football and other sports on t.v., I just get overwhelmed sometimes and need to vent! Well, I hope that this has brought some humor to some of you women out there who share my predicament!

Introduction to the Weir Family!

Brennan and I have been together for six years, married for four! It seems like much longer-in a good way! We have been very blessed and are both enjoying where we are in our lives right now. We live in Las Cruces, NM. Brennan teaches Physical Education at a local elementary school that is only 5 minutes away! A much needed change from where he used to teach. (Hatch, NM--45 minutes away!) He teaches all of the grades and really enjoys it. I currently stay home with Sydney, which I absolutely love. I do have a part-time job providing Respite care for children with disabilities. It is a very laid back job and I enjoy it most of the time. I take Sydney with me, so although I am getting out of the house to work, I do not have to leave her. Another exciting piece of information--We are expecting our second baby!! A BOY! I am not quite sure how this is going to change the dynamics of our household, because I like the fact that Sydney and I have outnumbered Brennan on the forefront! Plus, Sydney and I are both pretty girly, so this boy might alter that! As long as he kills the bugs I'll be good! Anyway, I am new at this whole 'blogging' thing, so hopefully I can figure it all out and do a decent enough job to make it look nice!
