Ok...so I haven't been the best about updated lately, but life has been....CRAZY to say the least! At the end of July I made a heart wrenching decision to leave Grainger for a new venture. I took an outside sales position with Nebraska Bolt. It is a risky move, but hopefully the right one for our family at the time. Only time will tell :)

Rogan had his 6 month check up. He was a little over 28 3/4" long, (99%) 18.7 lbs (70%) and his head circ is 17 5/8" (80%) His head has certainly grown since his 4 month visit when he was just in the 50% percentile! Rogan has been hanging at home with me for the past three weeks which has been just amazing! Since I took a job with a competitor, Grainger told me they would pay me for my notice, but would not allow me to work because of confidentiality. I was sad at first, then I realized I get 3 weeks with my baby! YEAH!!

We have spent a lot of that time visiting Rogan's friends! We hung out will Jill and baby marley, We also saw baby Presley for the first time since she has been home from Childrens in Omaha! We also went to Jackson Stehliks first birhtday party and Czech days! The kids all had lots of fun together !! ;)

I also redecorated our house....this was going to be a simple project in my head. After several days of sewing, painting and moving furniture, the project is complete and looking great!

I can't really remember what else we have done, but somehow time is flying by us! Rogan is eating more and mre solid food, we have started meat. He is also sitting up quite well these days and is more fun tha never!

Gabe and I are taking our first vacation away from Rogan this week. :( We are going to Vegas for a few days. It will be soooo hard to leave him, but he will be in great hands with the grandparents! It should be a great time. One of the friends we are going with also has a little boy she willbe leaving with grandparents, so we can sulk together :)

4th of July, 2nd tooth, and 19 ROLLS!!!

Rogan thought momma was pretty funny getting in his crib with him! LOL

The Family :)

Watching the fireworks!

Rogan's 4th of July Jammies!

Rogan and momma

What an eventful weekend we have had! Rogan is popping his 2nd tooth! He has really done better than I expected with his first two teeth! We went to a friend of ours for a BBQ for the 4th. Rogan decided to show off his rolling skills by demonstrating 19 consecutive rolls! It was CRAZY! He just kept going and going. He really seemed to LOVE the fireworks and wasn't bothered by the noise in the least! He was pretty tuckered out, but was trying to hang in there to see what 4th of July was all about!

Father's Day & the Swing set!

WEEEE We are going high momma!!

1st Time in the new swing. Thanks g-ma & g-pa Fink!!!

Rogan's new anklet?!? Not sure how he managed this???

We have had a fun filled weekend. We went to the horse races Friday night, we went to Aunt Emily & Uncle Seth's for a BBQ on Saturday and today we hung out with dad then headed to Crete to see Grandpa & Grandma Fink. We also got to visit Rogan's future wife (lol) Marley Rae Behrends after she was born late Friday night! Congrats to Jill & Cody!!! After all was said and done we decided to assemble the swing set and try out Rogan's baby swing! WHOA! So much excitement! Rogan made daddy chocolate chip pankcake for breakfast and put them on the plate in the shape of a "D" for Daddy and served him breakfast in bed! Daddy was quite impressed with his 5 month olds cooking abilities! :) Here are some pictures from our events this weekend! I also included a picture of Rogan with his ring on his ankle. I am not sure how he managed it, but he got his ring on his foot. I couldn't help but take a picture, TOO CUTE!

Hammock Fun

One of Rogan's favorite things to do is to lay with Mom or Dad in the hammock. Today I decided it would be fun for a photo shoot. He was pretty crabby (which is why we were outside swinging in the first place) but a few of the pictures turned out ok. Here is one of my favorite pictures!

Family Reunion

Holding on to his links even fast asleep!

My cousins. LOVE THEM!

Rogan & Momma

Me & Em-GOOFBALLS!

Rogan & Elijah-Also goofballs! Hmm...wonder where they get it? :)

We had the Fink family reunion this weekend at Lovewell Lake. What a blast! We went down Friday right after work and came back late Saturday night. Rogan was loving every minute of it. He is our little outdoorsman. No matter how unhappy he is, just take him outside and his day brightens right up! He loved the leaves! he thought when they would move the were moving just for him! I forgot my photo card at home so I couldn't get too many pictures, but here are a few to share from our weekend! Gabe and I are convinced we need to get a little camper now! :) The picture of Rogan in his car seal was cracking us up! He was exhausted from being outside all weekend and fell fast asleep, but he still maintained the death grip on his links! He held them all the way home! Too funny!

4 month check and stuff...

New jammies!

I interrupted his playing!

OK, OK. Sorry about the month long delay in blogging! I like to think that I have been just enjoying Rogan and Gabe rather than on the computer, but the truth is we have just been SUPER busy :) (Although I have been enjoying any free seconds we can get!) Rogan had his 4 month well check. He had a fever of 103 that morning so I ended up having to stay home with him. The did end up giving him his shots that afternoon, but it was a rough couple of days. Then Roe decided he was not going to sleep through the night after his traumatic experience..lucky me! We are finally now getting back into a good night routine..I HOPE! he weight 16.9 lbs (85th percentile) was 27 1/2" long (97th percentile) and his head was somewhere is the 50th percentile....so yes, he is a BIG BOY! They are now estimating him to be 6'4" plus when he grows up. hard to believe that some day my baby boy will tower over me! We started getting pretty serious with the cereal and Rogan Lives for it! he gets so excited when I put him in his high chair, he knows what is coming and gets giddy!!!

We had Jasmin with The White Acorn take pictures of Rogan. She lives in Florida but is back for the summer. We are so lucky to have her take these pictures! Please take a look at her work thewhiteacorn.com then enter proofing and enter password sambur. She is AMAZING! I was pretty exhausted from puttin gmy party pants on at my very good friends wedding the night before so they are mostly of Roe and daddy. TOO CUTE!

Aside from that we are getting by and trying to slow time down as much as we can. Rogan is really become so aware of his surroundings and is TON of fun!

I am still selling Avon and actually love the product ,so in my "spare time" (HA!) I am doing that! www.youravon.com/sburesh If there is anything you want samples of let me know! I have also started working with a new wish kid for Make-A-Wish...he is a real treat! Only 4 and as sweet as they come!

I have added some new pictures, but be sure to check out the new ones jasmin took as well. Hope this finds you all well!

That's my boy!!! GO STEELERS!

Hi Momma!

For all of my girlfriend who have had or are having daughters!

I finally graduated from college this weekend. For those of you that know me, this was a great accomplishment. I was told I had to quit school after I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease so to walk across that stage was one of the greatest moments of my life. Actually, I was so emotional about it that I thought I might be pregnant again! LOL, I took a test just to double check and it was negative! WHEW! It was an amazing weekend with family and friends. Gabe threw an amazing party for me Saturday night and Sunday afternoon was spent with all of my nieces and nephews. It was great to all be together before my sister Michelle and her family move to Oregon. I want to thank everyone who made this weekend possible, especially my Mom and Gabe who threw my amazing celebrations.

Rogan will be 4 months old this week! I can't believe how fast he is growing and learning! he is really starting todiscover his surroundings! One of our favorite things to do right now is to sit in front of the mirror and "talk" to that baby in the mirror! he loves it. He smiles, talks, and laughes at himself. SO FUN! Last night was also a great treat, Rogan rolled from his back to his stomach. He is such a good boy, he is doing everything at home first so far instead of at daycare.! :) I have uploaded some random pictures of Roe and graduation weekend.
