Breanna---The Begining!!

Breanna is turning 5 next Monday!! I thought I would find a few cute baby pictures of her and post them. This proves that our kids grow way too fast, change so much, and are such a joy. I hope you enjoy!!


Breanna Jo Slonecker born Feb. 23, 2004


I just loved her and couldn't stop staring at her.

She had some hair but not as much as Sophia that's for sure.

In her crib all tucked in. She's so tiny and the binky is so big!


Good family picture.

I love this picture.


Breanna (6 weeks) with the Easter Bunny

Such a happy girl with big smiles!

Her baptism

Time to do some laundry! lol

For being so small when she was born, she sure has turned into a chunky butt!


She liked to pass time in her jumparoo at gma and gpa's

All cozy getting some fresh air. She reminds me a lot of Sophia in this picture.

Mommy and Bre taking a fast nap.

Swimming with mommy....what we love to do!

First vacation.... of many to Worlds of Fun

First trip to the zoo


She's screamin' about something...haha

Peek-a-boo I see you!!


First X-Mas!!

First Bday...digging into the cake, the best part!

Being a couch potato, hogging the remote!

Showing off your pretty Easter dress.

Daddy was moving a train in Omaha for work so we drove down there to watch for awhile.

Helping daddy mow the lawn.

She loves to dress herself.

Excited to light fireworks off.

Sound asleep in the car with some cool shades on!

Getting ready to go and cook supper. :)

Lots of FUN stuff to read...

I was bored one day so I did some surveys that I thought were fun and interesting. So I hope you enjoy reading them and finding some stuff out about me that you didn't know. Right now I'm in the process of scanning some pics of Breanna when she was a baby and what not. Eventually I would like to find a baby pic of me and TJ and put them up next to the girls to see who resembles who. Sounds like fun!!

25 Facts about ME!!

Here are 25 facts about me....this is kind of similar to the 10 truths I did earlier.

1. I met my husband in May 2003.....got married May 2006. I knew he was the one for me the moment we met. There was something about him that just made me feel comfortable and I just knew, I know it probably sounds cheesy but it's true.

2. I have 2 beautiful daughters (Breanna-5 and Sophia-10 months) and we are expecting again in July (we do not know what we are having)

3. I really want a bigger vehicle, since we have so many kids and I secretly still really want a mini-van but my husband hates vans...lol

4. I can be really shy at first but once you get to know me I probably won't shut up. Sometimes I think people might think I'm stuck up or a snot...but I'm not

5. I love taking pictures...probably too many. Wish I could afford an awesome expensive camera and have more time to scrapbook

6. I can't live without chocolate. I have to have a piece of chocolate after almost every meal, at least once a day....and I would rather eat some kind of chocolate dessert at a resterant than a meal.

7. If I could afford it and didn't have to work I would love to have a lot of kids....well maybe 5 or 7 total. Ha I'm crazy I know.... :)

8. I will go lay on a beach and drink pina coladas/maragritas all day at least one week out of my life.

9. I would love to go back to school to become a teacher or nurse...but don't have the time, $$, or patience.

10. I hate math or anything to do with numbers or problem solving. If I ever need help with something like that I turn to my husband, he's way smarter

11. As much as I complain to my husband about his love for racing.....I sometimes do enjoy to go to a race every now and then, even if I do get bored after 5 minutes.

12. I love spending time with my family. There is never a dull moment when we get together.

13. I love love love summer....I would love to move somewhere where it's warm all year. I hate cold, snow, rain.......bring on the heat.

14. My parents are awesome. They help me out when I need it and give me good advice, I don't know where I would be without them.

15. I love going to the dentist. I know I'm weird but I care a lot about my teeth and want to take care of them....plus it's really the first thing people notice on you.

16. I love Starbucks....thank god there isn't one here in David City because I would be there every day

17. I love flip flops and hate socks and shoes

18. I want a bigger and better house soooo bad. Our house is getting smaller and smaller....I would once like my kids to have their own rooms so I can decorate it to their cute taste.

19. I'm a big country music fan...Go Kenny and Dierks. So I will never turn down a good concert....esp Kenny...I will pay whatever I have to so I can go and have good seats because he is just that awesome and hot...

20. My family always told my I could pick up a JcPenney catalog between my big toe and my second toe...since I have such a big gap...lol

21. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the college days or high school days and have no worries...have fun...drink..party....make more friends

22. I wish I could spend more time with my friends. I'm on a different level in life since I have kids so it's hard to just drop everything and go out one evening....but I like to try.

23. I don't worry about a lot of things. I think I'm pretty easy going and let whatever happens happen.

24. My sisters (and brother :) ) mean the world to me...they are my best friends and I can tell them anything. They are always there for me and don't judge me and can make me feel better.

25. I'm thankful for everything my life has brought me. I don't know where I would be without it....some might of happened too soon but that's okay...some too late but I'll wait. I just try to be a happy person and not care what others think of me.

Breanna finally asleep at around midnight...oh what a late night

Chocolate covered Sophia. She was playing in her room and found a piece of chocolate and decided she wanted to eat it. I was shocked when I found her but she enjoyed it.
