The Burchett Bunch

In 1 month I have....

2010-07-19T13:40:00.019-05:00

(Opps I did this backwards...)

Turned 1 month old!

This rocking chair was my Mom's as a little girl and then mine. Now it is Katelyn's.

Visited Lake Arrowhead for the 4th.
3 1/2 weeks old.

Outgrown an outfit before I got to wear it! =)

Gone to see Dr. Yap for the 2nd time! I grew 1/2 and inch and weighed 8.5lbs at 2 weeks.

Had my friend Meegan take my Newborn pictures, I was 2 weeks old.

Wore a tutu and big bow! Just for Mommy's friend Ms.Kelli Doley =)

Took our first official family photo! (In my back yard)

Gone to visit Daddy at work!

Went to see Dr. Yap for the first time. I grew 3/4 inch and weighed 8.3lbs.

Been in my swing several times... I kind of like it!

Turned 1 week old.

I have also learned Mommy's voice and look for it every once in a while. Not to mention I have managed to pee pee on Daddy during Sunday dinner! I have started on formula and now Mommy and Daddy say I have stinky gas! But I don't think my poo stinks! I am learning to sleep in my own bed and not on Mommy's chest. She gives me formula that fills me up so I can sleep longer at night (like from 11:30ish to 8ish). I have done that the last couple of nights. I sometimes get away with still sleeping on Mommy if she happens to fall asleep first. I have found the ceiling fan and really like it. I like to listen to the rain/ shower noise. AND I LOVE CAR RIDES! as long as the car is moving... I do not like it when it stops. I have met several friends, Avery and Paislie. I am waiting for Tariku to get here from Ethiopia on August 9. I also still need to meet Eli!

Avery and I

Paislie and I

Mommy says I am growing tooo fast and I need to slow down! Daddy is already worried about the boys...haha I am going to give him a run for his money!

Oh and Mom says she is going to be better at blogging now that she has the "mom" thing a little more under control! We will see.

Burchett: Party of 3!

2010-06-21T10:15:00.012-05:00

On June 10th, our family welcome Katelyn Alexa to the world. Our day started at 5:30 am.

(My last picture being pregnant)

My doctor scheduled for me to be induced because I had been at a 3 and 80% effaced for two weeks. She was worried about infection. So we got to the hospital and got changed and in the bed ready to get the show on the road. I was started on the Platocin at around 6 and Dr. King came to break my water at 8. She figured she would be here around dinner time (5 or 6). I asked for my epidural around 9:30 (I am a wimp). Jared and I both slept for a while after that. I dialated about 1 cm every hour after that. Around 6ish I was between a 9 and a 10. Charge Nurse Betty (who was GREAT) had me start doing some pushing to try to get me to the 10. She wanted to be there when the baby was born, her shirt was from 7 am to 7 pm. Dr. King was called a little after 7ish to head to the hospital. Katelyn arrived at 7:58.

We had a few complications along the way. Her head (13 in) was having a hard time so I was cut. Then her sholders got stuck, that was a terrible 30 seconds for me. The delivery went from cool and collected to hurry and rush! Dr. King was putting out orders and it's never good when you hear her say "you, start timing!". Since her sholders were stuck she couldn't breathe and was turning blue... BUT about 30 seconds later she was on my stomach crying! =) It was a great moment. Then Dr. King informed me that I had torn and it was a 4th degree (come to find out the worst)! However, she was worth it! After I was all fixed up, Katelyn had plenty of visitors!

First Family Photo

Papa Randy (Jared's Dad)

MeMe Tamara (Jared's Mom)

I have a friend, Meegan Weaver, who is a photographer and she agreed to come take pictures of Katelyn being cleaned up and with Jared for the first time. They are some of the most precious pictures ever. She is also going to take her newborn pictures very soon.

She posted a blog about Katelyn with more pictures. Go check out our baby girl and Meegan's work. Also check back over the next week or so for her newborn pictures.

Katelyn Alexa Burchett

June 10, 2010 7:58 p.m.

20 1/4 inches

Head: 13 inches, chest: 14 1/4 inches

We came home from the hospital on June 12th.

Welcome home Katelyn Alexa Burchett!

On the Move....Katelyn that is

2010-02-07T17:25:00.002-06:00

I do not have a picture to post with this update, so sorry! I feel like every morning I wake up and my bump is bigger and bigger! Katelyn moves ALL the time. The Friday school was canceled I think she must have been doing flips (she was excited to get to stay home). Her movements seem to be so much more definite. I have actually seen her kick/hit or whatever she is doing to my stomach. It was an exciting moment. I am starting to wonder just how Molly will do with Katelyn. Molly was laying in my lap the other day and Katelyn kicked and it startled Molly.... she turned and looked at my stomach and was not sure what was going on. Mom and I have picked out bedding but that is about all we have done. I am going to wait till after our next dr. appointment to go register. Our next appointment is Feb. 23, I will have another sonogram. The last 4 times I have heard the her heart beat it was right at 150 bpm. OH and so I have only gained 1 pound but I have a bad feeling I am starting to make up for it. I have been so hungry lately. I guess that is what happens when you throw up for the first 4 1/2 months. =) All in all, everything is good.... now I just need to start getting her room ready!

Boy or Girl??

2010-01-24T17:44:00.006-06:00

I know it has been a while and some are waiting to hear! So here it goes!

This:

(20 weeks)

equals this:

Meet our baby girl...Katelyn Alexa!

Other sono pics at 20 weeks

And we became the Burchett Bunch!

2009-11-25T18:11:00.003-06:00

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Since then Jared and I have decided to expand our family from Jared, Kelli and Molly to Jared, Kelli, Baby Burchett, and Molly. We are expecting our first baby June 11. I have had 2 doctors appointments and I am currently 11 weeks along. At today's appointment the baby was very active and moved a whole bunch. It was really cool to see that on the screen. The heart beat at the first appointment was 172 bpm and today it was 161 bpm.

This picture is of the baby at 11 1/2 weeks. You can see his/her little hand.

These pictures are at 11 1/2 weeks also.

This was the first sono I had at 8 weeks and 2 days. (What a difference 3 weeks makes.)

Weekend away

2009-08-31T20:14:00.009-05:00

This weekend Jared and I went to Dallas for the Fire Rescue International Convention. I was such a trooper! This was the BIGGEST convention hall I have ever been in. I thought it would never end. We got there at 11 on Saturday morning and left at 4:45 (it started at 10:30 and ended at 5). So this was an all day event. We ended the day at Hooters! Our friends Cory and Jessica, Rob and Brooke went with us!

Us at Hooters

At the convention expo with an antique fire truck

We left on Friday night so we could sleep a little bit later Saturday morning. PF Changs is my favorite place in the DFW area so that is where dinner took place on Friday. Jared had never eaten there before. However he has heard Rob, Brooke and I talk about the lettuce wraps and he had to see what the hype was all about. So we did!

However the only thing he liked was the lettuce wraps. He did not like anything else. =( Oh well it was worth a shot. After dinner and we checked in at the hotel we decided to head to downtown to see what we could fine to do. We found a roof top that had a live band and went to check it out. WELL, a huge flying roach landed on my hand and after a near heart attack and some jumping and screaming in front of tons of people. I was DONE and so was Brooke. After that we couldn't find any other places to go. We were told McKinney street was the place to be but the cop on the street gave us the wrong directions and we were lost. But we drove around and checked out the crazies in downtown. While doing this we pulled up next to a younger boy, maybe 19 ish, that was picking his nose... and I mean digging for gold. I think his whole finger was up in nose. My classy husband decided to make fun of him by picking his nose out the window for the kid to see. Poor Kid I dont think he realized all 6 of us were laughing (so hard we were crying) and making fun of him. I hope he doesnt have a gf (cause that is really gross)!

All in all it was nice to get away and laugh with friends!

As promised from like a week ago. My classroom!

NOTE: My room is small and it is hard to fit 22 desk in it and have an area for reading. So I did what I could.

The best view I can get of almost my whole room.

The reading center and computers (to the right of the reading center)

Comments!

2009-08-19T23:32:00.002-05:00

So I got home today, had some friends over for dinner, checked facebook, and then read some blogs! I got to mine to update and saw I had a comment on one of mine! I just love comments....it shows that someone really does read what I write! =) Sooo

Thanks Kate, Mom got the rug at Kirklands for like $20! I am sure an "R" would look great at your front door! Maybe I will just have to get one for you! (I was too poor at the time of the blog swap to participate, I will catch it next time!)

And then after that (I was so excited) I forgot what I was going to blog about in the first place!

Coming home to this....

2009-08-18T21:25:00.004-05:00

Ok first... I have been home all summer with Molly and she got used to that so on Monday when I left for work after Jared was already gone she just looked at me like "where are you going?" it was a little sad for me. However she met me at the door when I came home that afernoon. Today again the sad face and she followed me around while I was getting ready this morning and did not leave my side. So today when I came home this is what I found:

Molly was in her favorite thing: a box... she just loves them.

Jared and I had to order a new pond pump and it came in today and the first thing she did was get in as soon as the pump was out of the box.

My mom bought me this "B" doormat for our house a few weeks ago. I have been wanting one since we got married. It is supposed to go outside on the front porch but Molly LOVES it and lays on it all the time so for now... it stays inside.

I am going to take pictures of my classroom and post about that after Meet the Teacher on Thursday.

Show us your life: Wedding Party and Flowers/ceremony

2009-08-09T15:29:00.009-05:00

Our flowers were bright pinks, orange and green. I found a picture of the flowers online and ask John Johnston (The Florist) to recreate it for me and he did a wonderful job. The first two pictures are from the disposable cameras from the tables but they are the flowers on the tables. The next two are the bridesmaids flowers and my flowers

This is our wedding party. I had seven bridesmaids and he had six groomsmen and we had 3 flower girls and ringbearers.

My maid of honor Carly is my HS best friend. Bridesmaids: Amber C is a HS friend and sorority sister, Jessica is my best friend and sorority sister, Amber B is my sorority sister, Megan is my cousin, Monica is my sorority sister, and Dionne is my cousin. Flower girls: Tatum is Jared's niece, Abby is Jared's cousin, and Ava Grace is Jared's cousin.

Best Man Brett is Jared's best friend from grade school, DJ is Jared's friend and roommate, Bradley is a HS friend, Challis was on the Police Dept with Jared, Zac is a HS friend and was on the PD with Jared, Chris is a long time friend. Ringbearers: Austin is my little cousin, Grant is my little cousin, Kevin is Jared's nephew.

Show Us Your Life- Wedding Dress

2009-08-08T09:29:00.001-05:00

I know I am a little late so I will try to get caught up!

My wedding dress was candlelight white with an A-line skirt. It had a lace and crystal boddice with the same lace and crystal at the bottom of the skirt. My train was sheer lace and cathedral length. I had a cathedral length veil. I absolutely love my dress and would to be able to wear it all the time.

so here is the UPDATE!

2009-08-07T16:02:00.002-05:00

My summer has been quiet! No vacation=time to read and have a fantasy vacation So my fantasy vactions have been to Forks, Washington and Bon Temps, Louisana! Some of you can figure out what I have been reading. TWILIGHT.... I read the whole series twice. I just could not stop until I learned about TRUE BLOOD! I almost think I like it better. It is set in Bon Temps, LA and is kind of like Twilight but for adults. I have really enjoyed reading this summer which is a first in the 25 years of my life. I just finished the Sookie Stackhouse (True Blood) series. My goal was to get them done before I went back to school (which happens to be Monday).

On another note...our friends the Wall's have brought Avery Reese into the world. Jared and I are so excited that she is here.

Now I am looking forward to the welcoming of the Snyder baby whenever he may come. Also, I am going to start working in my classroom next week and I am welcoming anyone who would like to come help. I can usually only work morning because that is whent the air is on and it gets waaay to hot in the afternoons!

Such a bad blogger!

2009-07-18T19:23:00.001-05:00

Our most recent:

Memorial Day = NO SCHOOL

2009-05-25T15:49:00.006-05:00

1st Molly:

She is still so loving and I am so glad for that (I am not really a cat person). So this is an update she went from this to this...

She is getting so big!

2nd Shopping:

Since I did not work today... I went shopping with my mom. I mostly got things I needed for the house like body soap, juice, trash bags, etc. However, I have been looking at a new night stand for our bedroom for us to get. I only bought one today, I will get the other another time. It is from Target.

I am going to make my dad put it together... Jared is at work!

3rd Baby shopping:

NOT FOR ME!! Let me make that clear! There are so many of our friends that are having babies. So we are in the stage of married life where you are either buying wedding presents for those friends who are getting married and baby gifts for those who are now having babies. Which pretty much takes all of our money! So today Mom and I walked in to Storkland (one of my favorite children stores ever). I think between my Mom, Grandma, and Uncle they probably paid for one months rent for their building. I loved that place as a little girl and still to this day love it. Everytime I enter it makes me want a child. But today it really made me want one. However, I am not sure if I really want one or if I just want to decorate for one! Everything they have is sooo cute. I think mom is kind of starting to get the "Grandma Itch". But for now it is just look and say aww at all the cute things and buy for all our friends.

So long for now, I am off to grill chicken with the parents, since Jared is at work. I hope everyone enjoys Memorial Day.

It has been so long!

2009-05-23T21:14:00.009-05:00

First I need to start with the mother's day trip my mom and I took. We went to see RENT in Dallas. The day started off well because when we got to Music Hall at Fair Park I found out that the original two leads had joined the RENT touring cast. They are also the same two that played the leads in the movie. So for me that was really exciting! So then the show started and of course by intermission my bladder was full and I needed a bathroom break. I jumped up and ran to the bathroom only having to wait a few minutes, thank goodness. I was going back to our seats and walking down the steps when Mom told me to go around the other way. WELL, lets just say I was not able to step down, talk, and listen at the same time because I fell. I fell right to my knees and then slid down the steps on my knees and got myself a nice little carpet burn on the top of my foot and ankle. However, to make it worse My Mother, my own mom, did not ask if I was OK she just laughed. I was so mad and embarrassed at the same time. Oh well, I got over it when after the show I got pictures of the two leads.

So that was my day with my Mom, she is the best.

I have also finally, well 90% finished our master bedroom. The one thing we liked about our house when we bought it was that is was move in ready. Then I lived in it for about 6 months and realized there were things I didn't like. Such as wall colors. But I fixed it. The walls in the bedroom were white and a yellow khaki with khaki curtains. At first it was OK, then I hated it and needed my own color, I like color. I decided on green for the walls and white for the trim and doors. I have also hung the wall hangings finally. Her is a before we even moved in, right after and now pictures.

Tomorrow: Molly Kitty update! She is getting so big =)

Mother's Day.... a little early

2009-05-07T22:15:00.008-05:00

Ok so I am blogging tonight for Mother's Day one because Friday and Saturday are hard to blog on and two Jared is at work tonight, so I have me time.

Mother's Day is a big day... not for me I am not a mom yet but Happy Mother's Day to all of those that are and those who are soon to be. I am going to honor my Mom by going to Dallas for the day. My mom and I are big Broadway Musical fans.... I Love It. I want to be on Broadway in my 2nd life. =) We are going to see Rent at Music Hall at Fair Park on Sunday. We have both seen it before and it is on both of our list of tops.

But my favorite is ..............

This is by far the best and I would highly suggest it!

So back to Mom... we are going to spend the day together and just hang out. This is my mom and best friend...

At the Oklahoma game in 2009

At my kitchen shower in 2007

Christmas in Vegas 2006

This is all I have on my computer.. On Monday I will post one from my baby days and one from this weekend.

Have a great weekend all!

Schooools out for Summer..... almost!

2009-05-06T22:05:00.004-05:00

Well I feel as though I am actually on the down slide of school. The TAKS tests are over, we have been told how to start packing up are classrooms, and I have told kids to start taking things home. Those are very good signs that the year is coming to an end. I have really enjoyed teaching 3rd grade this year. I find it a great fit for me. They are old enough to do things on their own but they still (for the most part) love me. Oh and they still have "kids say the darndests things" moments. My favorite of the year is "lookin good today Mrs. Burchett".... always puts a smile on my face. However, I still have one big event... our 3rd grade field trip. A mini tour of WF. In third grade students learn about communities and the history of their community. I planned this one.... however I am not confident in it but OH well its a break from teaching. The kids are going to the Kell House and the Fire Museum. Jared is going to participate in giving the tours. I just know he is soo excited about it.

This picture is of Jared and the rest of his Station 8 B Shift. I think they look so good in front of their brand new station. They take such good care of it. Not to mention they are great guys and so nice when I stop by.

Growing Days

2009-04-21T18:59:00.005-05:00

To start this blog off I must say remind you that we do not have kids so I have to brag about my Molly kitty, she is my baby. She is a total momma's girl. She follows me everywhere. Even into the shower. I know, I know cats do not like water, but she will get in between the clear shower curtain and the tub and wait till I am done. After I get out she will watch the water drip and lick the tub dry.

This picture is pretty self explanatory. This is the 3rd or 4th meeting of Molly and Pepper. I would say that Molly is a scaredy cat but that would be such a lie. She is actually the mean one. She chases and hisses at Pepper. Look at how big she is....I miss my kitty =(

As for this picture some friends of ours wanted to get us an alligator for our pond. NOOOO was my quick response. So instead we got ducks. Did you know that ducks do not just poop in one area they shoot their poop. Like all over my back patio. (insert me making a not so nice face at my husband) They make the biggest mess. Now they are better because they are out of a cage and just in the pond and back yard. They really enjoy the pond as you can see. The yellow one will turn into a white duck and the black and yellow will become a mallard.

I am writing this blog as I sit here and watch American Idol. This is the first year that I am really having a hard time decided who I want to win. There are 3 or 4 that I go back and forth between. I am also looking forward to watching Rescume Me, it is a show about firefighters in NYC. With a firefighter husband it is a must see. Check out if you want is comes on at 9 on FX. I guess that is all for now.

My first twister...

2009-04-13T22:18:00.005-05:00

So last night Jared and I were at home after eating left over Easter dinner at his Grammy's when we heard over the scanner that there was rotation over 369. SOOO...normally I would already be in the closet with my purse and Molly. However, I guess I have grown up a little bit and the first thing I really did was run out and look. Sure enough there it was a tornado. Not that I know anything about them but I would say it was no more that a T1 if even that. The next thought was to get my camera... I was going to send the picture to KFDX for catching it on camera. I ran inside to get it and by the time I got back out it was gone. It never even really touched the ground, which is probably a good thing because then I might would have really freaked out. After I got back outside I did get a few pictures from our front yard.
This video clip is from my sister in law. You have to watch right around the middle of the pic. Enjoy.

It has been so long......sorry

2009-04-09T18:08:00.002-05:00

Well I turned 25 today! I really do not feel much older, I do not think I look older (if I do please do not let me know). I am going to continue the tradition of eat at Olive Garden for my birthday dinner. I have eaten there every year for my birthday for the last OH as long as I can remember. Mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday and well I just do not know. I think I have reached the point where I just never really know what I want.... either there is too much I can just can not pick one thing or I really just do not know.

However, on a good note. My school children were such angels today for me. I could not have asked for a better school day. I even got to leave early... that is a major plus.

Poor Jared... he has been fighting fire all day. I hate wind for that....it puts him in danger. He is home now and we are going to dinner and have a relaxing evening.

To all have a great Easter. I will try to get some new pictures posted.... I may get a new camera tomorrow... Mine bit the dust!

Spring Break

2009-03-12T18:08:00.002-05:00

So... it has been a few days since I posted last but it has been crazy. The cold weather made a quick return and I am not real happy about that. However it is supposed to warm up next week for Spring Break. I can not wait. I think I realized yesterday afternoon that I do not have anymore nerves for my kiddos at school. They are driving me crazy. WE ALL need this break. I am hoping to hear about those TAKS test scores soon. That might take away from some of the stress I have been having. But back to spring break. Jared's great-aunt and uncle from Colorado will be here tomorrow. I can not wait. We have not seen them in a year. I will make sure to take pictures of the family while they are in town. My other spring break plans are to paint. I am going to paint our master bedroom and maybe the guest bedroom.I will post pictures of the before and after sometime at the end of next week. So if you want to help just let me know....I will not turn you away. Jared has next Friday off from the fire department so I am hoping we can take a mini vacation to do something. We have not had a vacation since our honeymoon. That was a little over and year and a half ago. I have no new pictures for this blog. My camera has been having a little trouble lately. Maybe I can get a new one for my birthday... only 1 month away. I will turn 25. Do you get something big for being 1/4 of a century? Or is this when you stop having birthdays and you just always stay 25?

Testing Stinks!

2009-03-03T16:48:00.002-06:00

So I had to give the TAKS test today. I do not like standing all day and well you know! Anyway, I need to vent about the Bachelor last night! I cannot believe that dude actually did that to Melissa last night. He should have talked to her before he broke up with her on national tv the way he did. However I did like both girls so whatever on that. I am looking forward the Part 2 tonight. No telling what will happen.... he will probably decide to go back to DeAnna, the girl that dumped him from the bachelorette! So that is my plans tonight... TV and a hot relaxing, bubble bath. I am tired....maybe even a foot rub from my husband. Oh my husband...he is so sweet, he is making dinner tonight. Also, do not forget about American Idol.

To Kendra.... I am so ready to meet this new baby girl! It was nice to have lunch with you today. I think you should change your lunch when you come to back to eat with us all the time =)

OU Game

2009-03-02T18:47:00.003-06:00

Well I really come from a house divided. My parents are big OU fans and my husband is a huge Texas fan. Soooo when it comes to cheering for teams I cheer for both until they play each other. Then I really just dont cheer. Anyway, here is a picture of me and my parents from this weekend at the OU/OSU girls basketball game. (For those of you who do not know... my dad is a girls basketball coach, so we are big basketball fans.)

2009-02-27T21:27:00.008-06:00

Hello again! I am adding a few pictures of our precious Molly!

This is one of my favorite pictures of our house....we do not get snow/ice very often so I had to take pictures.

snow/ice vs. regular day

Tomorrow I am going with my parents to Norman to watch the OU and OSU girls basketball game. I hope all enjoy the weekend!

Joining the rest!

Hello all, I have decided to start a blog for our family. I enjoy reading my other friends to keep up with those I do not talk to often. I am not sure that people really want to hear about our family but you never know =). Our friends are starting to scatter around the U.S. I will try to do my best with the whole blog idea. We will see how it goes

Here is our start:

Jared and I have been married for a little over a year and a half now. Jared has his dream job as a Wichita Falls Firefighter. I am teaching 3rd grade in Wichita Falls. We still live in Burkburnett, in fact we bought our first house in July. Such a big step. I actually feel like a grown up now. Jared has a great schedule with the fire department, 24 hours on and 48 hours off. I am really enjoying teaching. Third graders are still cute and they still like you. We recently made an addition to our family with a kitten, Molly. Let me start by saying I have never had pets until right before Jared and I got married and we got a dog that now lives with my parents (we lost custody). So as for the kitten Jared got her for me January 21. I was not really all that excited about her since I have never liked cats. However she is pretty cute. Molly was about 7 weeks old and weighed 1.2 pounds. She loved for me to hold her and she would follow me everywhere. Well now she is more like a toddler.... she is getting into everything. I have to get the water bottle after her. She is still learning and I am OK with that. So, I guess I will say that I love my kitty and would never give her up. Now, do not go thinking I am a cat lady. I do not want any others but her! Well I guess that is all for now!
