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

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...

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.

The reason I love my husband...such a goofball!

Rogan's Cow outfit! It has a tail on his behind!

Just too funny not to add...this really happened...

This too really happened...a boy after his daddy's heart!

Rogan's 1st swimming adventure, the water was a bit too cold straight from the hose, but eventually it will warm up and we will try round 2!

Rogan showing his animal some love!

I can't believe how fast my baby is growing. I LOVE to watch him learn and grow, but I hate to think about how fast the time is going. Like the songs say..."It won't be like this for long..." Rogan is really starting to grab onto things (ex:his toys, my hair, whatever is close!) I just added a few new pictures. Rogan LOVES to watch TV. We try not to let him, but he takes after his father in that department. One night he was playing with the remote and GAZING at the TV...too funny! I also could resist sneaking up on Gabe while he was laying in the hammock trying to teach those pesky blackbirds whose boss...HA!

Mommies new venture...

Hey all! Sorry I have been horrible about updating! My body was revolting for a few days after the marathon and somehow the next week slipped into oblivion! Rogan had a big day at daycare today..Beth, his daycare provider, called him the King of Rolls! he just kept rolling and rolling...of course when I want him to perform at home, I get NOTHING. Apparently he was done performing for the evening. He is doing a great job grabbing his toys and is getting so strong everyday!

This is an exciting week for me! I am graduating next Sunday. It will be such a rewarding experience to walk across the stage knowing that my son is there to watch me. Somehow every accomplishment seems just a little sweeter when Gabe and Roe are there to share it with me!

My new venture....I have decided to start selling Avon! I have always LOVED the product and the PRICES, so I decided I would sell it! Please check it out on my website www.youravon.com/sburesh My grand opening sale is free shipping on your first order online with the promo code FIRSTREP Feel free to call me anytime if you have questions or just want to thumb through a catalog 402-416-0443. Wish me luck!

I will get some pictures uploaded soon! I am also going to try to get a video of my little munchkin rolling over :)

ROLLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick Update: Rogan is rolling from tummy to back!!! We were doing tummy time and there he went. Gabe and I were both home and able to experience his first roll together! It was so exciting!!! He didn't even struggle or cry, it was just a few seconds after I had put him on his tummy. Mr Big Stuff!!!
