Turning My Blog into a Book

Hey all you bloggers out there!! I know that there are companies out there that will take my blog and turn it into a book for me. I want to make one for Brenley's first year of life. I don't want all these stories anf pictures to just float away on the internet someday, I want a hard copy for her to keep someday. Do any of you know a place that will do this?

Once I get this done I'll let you all know how it turns out so maybe you can create your own blog book :) Hope you all have a blessed day!!!

Brenley's First Birthday Party

Yesterday Brenley turned One Year Old!!! It was also the day that we had her first birthday party. It was a wonderful party and we were so blessed by our friends and family who came.
We had been talking about her birthday, reading her a birthday book, and singing the Happy Birthday song, all week. We wanted her to know that this was just for her. I think it worked too...she knew that all those people were there just for her. She was dressed in a precious outfit and she loved her tutu!!! It was so cute to see her waddle around the house in the big tutu...too cute! We had a great time and really enjoyed seeing all our family and friends.

She did great opening presents

My Husband, My Hero

Yesterday was a long day in the Buster house. Right after Al left for work I woke up sick, really sick. I haven't been that sick in years (since Larry and Heather got married...how long ago was that Heather?). I called Al and he got his things together at school to get a sub and come home to help me. My mom also came over because Al was going to be a little while and I couldn't take care of Brenley, Hailey, and Christopher all by myself.
Al and my Mom saved the day. I spent the whole day back in our bedroom and in the bathroom. I will spare you all the details. Al played Mr. Mom and did a great job! He fed babies, changed diapers, did laundry, and entertained them all. He was a huge life saver!!! My mom came back over that evening with some Sprite and some homemade chicken noodle soup. Perfect!
So, last night, just as I was beginning to feel better Brenley started throwing up. Poor baby. Al held her over the sink while she threw up... it was the saddest thing I've ever seen. She just laid in his arms, something she NEVER does. She finally fell asleep in his arms and went to bed. She slept all night and woke up just fine this morning, Praise the Lord!!! So, now we're praying that Al doesn't get it. Macy and her Mom have it too...this is some nasty stuff!!
Thank you honey for taking care of us yesterday. You are such a wonderful husband and dad. I am so blessed to be married to you. I love you so much!!! You're my hero!!!
She finally fell asleep
Poor baby doesn't feel very good :(

Birthday Party in Clyde

This past Sunday we made a day trip to Clyde to see Al's family. Brenley had a great time playing outside with her new toys that she got for her birthday. We also had a little birthday party for Brenley. She had her own special cake, but Mommy only let her eat a little slice of it. It took her a while to figure out that she could eat it, but once she figured it out, she dug right in and loved it!!! She didn't sleep very well that night...I think all that sugar was a little much for her little system, but I'm sure she'll get some more cake this weekend at her big party!
Chowing down on some yummy cake!
Brenley and her cousin Dagan...he loves her!!!

Singing Happy Birthday

Mommy and Daddy with their big girl!

Kisses from Daddy

She kept making this face like, "I don't think I'm supposed to be eating this."

Al and his sister Alice both have braces...hopefully Al will get his off soon, 3 years and counting is too long!!!

Happy First Birthday Baby Girl. We love you so much!!!
(FYI, her real birthday is this Sunday, Nov 16th)

First Bass Pro Shop Trip

I can't believe this was Brenley's first trip to Bass Pro. She hasn't even been to Cabelas yet and we live so close to it. I guess we never have extra time to kill, there's always something to do. We need to take her to Cabelas to see all the animals.
The other weekend our friends Heath and Kelsey were in town. We ran up to Bass Pro to meet up with them. As always, it was great to see them and meet their friends. It was also a good excuse to buy Brenley her first camo outfit which she proudly wore this weekend in Clyde...more pictures to come.
Brenley loved the fish and loved exploring a new place. I think Daddy had more fun than anyone...he's like a kid in a candy store there. Makes him want to spend a lot of money!!!






Outdoorsy Kind of Girl

Lately we have been playing outside a lot. Brenley got a new playground for her birthday (Thanks Nana and Pops...she LOVES IT!!!) The weather has been so nice, so we've made the best of the backyard. Brenley loves it outside, there is so much to do. Her knees are all scraped and bruised and the bottoms of her pants are brown...I don't think she's going to be a prissy girl...she's an outdoorsy kind of girl!!!
The favotire toy...she loves to ride and they love to push...perfect!
Dirty bottom :)

She's so pretty!
