My little brother is getting married!

Yep... you saw it correct, Jake proposed to his girlfriend Brittany and she said yes! And yes, that is correct my sister's name is Brittaney and my sister-in-laws name is Brittany. Brittany is a great girl, and we can't wait to have her in our family.

Sicky McSickersons/More Pictures

This week has been a long one, involving all three of us getting a bad cold. A bad cold for Jack involves constant screaming, a nose so dry that it bleeds and never sleeping for more than a 3 hour stretch. We are all still sick, but I think that we are finally getting better.

We are beginning to look a bit addicted to getting pictures taken of Jack. A few weeks ago Matt took him to get his pictures taken as part of a package that we purchased a long time ago. He will get 4 sets of pictures in his first year from this place. If you want to see them the password is "McGurn". http://contemporaryexpressions.net/photocart/index.php?do=photocart&viewGallery=1333

The coveted "Tree #6"

So when Target has Christmas trees every tree has a number, and this year the hot tree was tree #6. It was a 6', pre lit, Philips tree. We were constantly sold out, and when all of the trees went clearance it was long gone. Well... yesterday I was up at Guest Service and to my amazement someone returned a tree #6! So... you can bet that for $30 (75% off + my team member discount) I purchased our very first full size Christmas tree.

Good Visit

Today was the big day I have been preparing for at Target and it went EXCELLENT! About 15 people from headquarters (Including some of the top people in the company) came to my store today to walk all of my grocery departments and see the new merchandising strategies that we have been trying. They thought it looked outstanding, they recognized us for all of our hard work, and they are going to be rolling out the strategies company wide! When you walk into a Target and see the new merchandising you can think that it all started at my store!

Now that that's over we can focus on getting packed up and moved!

Terrible Sound

I have decided the most terrible sound in the world is a wheezing, coughing baby who cannot sleep. It is 11PM and I should be sleeping, but instead I keep listening to him, praying that it will stop. Poor baby.

Great Weekend, Terrible Day

Yesterday ended an outstanding long weekend with a day trip to Estes Park. We ate wonderful french fries at Penelopes, shopped around town, and enjoyed the beautiful weather.

Then came today... I woke up with a TERRIBLE migraine which lasted the majority of the day, resulting in me trying to sleep all day and having to call in sick on potentially the worst week of the year (the CEO is visiting my store on Thursday). And... Jack woke up with his worst cold yet. So bad that he can't drink a bottle without taking breaks to breathe. He cried for most of the day, and only took one short nap. Matt's mom also went home today. In Matt's words today was, "emotionally draining. He sure is a good man though trying to take care of both of us.

First Rodeo/First Restaurant High Chair/More Pics

Last night we went to the Rio in Lodo for dinner and now that Jack is out of the baby seat we can't convienenty set his infant chair anywhere, so we gave the highchair a shot and he loved it! I think he enjoyed being table level with the rest of us.



















Then Jackson got to enjoy his first rodeo with us and his grandma Diane. He had a great time, and stayed up until 10:30 just enjoying all the action!





















Then today we took him back to the mall for another set of pictures. I told Matt all that I want for Valentines day is a picture of him and Jackson, which is what I got today!
