Home from our wonderful stay in Texas(TONS of pics)

Last week we took a nice trip to Texas to see my brother in law and his family! It was a much needed trip that we have been looking forward to for quite some time now! I was nervous to take Tegan on the flights to and from, but she exceeded my exceptions and was such a good girl! Even with waking up at 4am to get ready for our flight she was all smiles! We left snowy Milwaukee to land in 95 degree sunny Texas, it was such a huge change! We had a wonderful time with Gabe, Lori and my niece Morgan and nephew Ayden. We grilled out, played games, us girls went shopping and we all went to the zoo. It never rains in texas, yet the day we go to the zoo it decides to! A few rain drops didn't ruin our day, we had a blast anyway!!! Tegan LOVED the fish, she was giggling up a storm at the sight of those slimy gilled creatures. Zach and I are seriously considering getting Tegan an aquarium and some fish for home.

Tegan is now 5 months old and changing soo much! She plays with her toys, loves peek a boo, babbles up a storm and fills the house with her little(but loud) squeals and giggles. For some reason every morning at 5 Tegan puts on a LOUD concert for the entire house to hear, after a bottle and clean but she will usually go back to sleep until 7. She is now up to eating 6oz bottles and I am giving cereal a try again. Her tongue thrust reflux is getting better so she is getting more food in her mouth rather than on her chin.

Zachary, Tegan and I are LOVING having Zach on second shift! It makes our life more normal! We can wake up together and spend most of the day together and sleep together at night. Zach has more time to spend with Tegan, and Tegan gets to have her daddy rather than a zombie as a part of her life. We just got news a few days ago that they will be cut down to 32 hours a week. It shouldnt be for too long, but in the mean time I have no idea what we are going to do. We are going to call and see about a consolidation loan and I am going to try for wic(with his hours cut we should qualify). It will all work out, as long as we are happy, healthy and together that is all that really matters..everything else will fall into place.

Zach and I are going to start the zone diet and cross fit training on monday! I am SO excited to make the lifestyle change and get healthy and fit to better my energy and such for Tegan. My goal is to lose 10-15 pounds and tone up and get in shape. I will defiantly share our progress with everyone so wish us luck!

Here are tons of new pictures of our trip two and from Texas along with a few of Tegan from this weekend. I hope everyone is doing well!!!!!
