Little baby Syd!

She is here! Our sweet Sydnee was born yesterday morning. She weighed in at 7lbs. 6oz. and 20inches long. She has quite a bit of brown hair which is definitely different if you have ever seen our other two bald babies! We love her so much and we are so glad she is here in our family! What a blessing Heavenly Father has blessed us with at this time in our lives. The kids were not sure about her...Nathan got mad at us for naming her Sydnee...he thinks her name should have been Jordyn! Rylee is just getting more excited everytime she sees her because she is a "girl" like Rylee! What could be better than that????Nothing...in my little Rylee Girl's eyes! Today she got up on the hospital bed with me and wanted to hold baby Syd so I got her and she like pulled her over onto her lap. I am definitely going to have to watch Rylee because she probably will think she is like her dolls she has... :) She has a middle name but I think putting just her first name on here is appropriate.
I wanted to share a little bit about my delivery and how everything went...My anethsiologist (sp?) offered me a mirror in the OR which I have always thought would be cool to watch my babies come out so of course I took it! It was totally amazing! He was telling me all about what they were doing and it kept the whole surgery off my mind while I laid there especially when Ryan took Sydnee to the nursery. I could see what they were doing but it was like it wasn't really me who they were operating on...kinda weird! My doctor did a great job and chatted with me about Survivor and the Apprentice while he stitched me up! Overall, I had another great delivery with Sydnee as I have with the other kids and we have loved the nurses who have taken great care of us while we are here at the hospital! They just got us into a new room that is bigger than the other one...the other one was TINY! Enjoy a few pictures I will share more when I have more time.

Easter 2010

We had a very fun Easter this year with me being 9 months pregnant and all. But the kids got lots of candy from the Easter bunny who also left TONS of hidden Easter eggs at Nana and Papa's house too! Lucky kids! Nathan asked me all day why we celebrate Easter but he already knew after I told him once so I kept asking him when he would ask me. Funny kid! Rylee was not happy with me when she asked if she could wear her Easter dress to Nana's since we didn't have church and we stayed home to watch General Conference...she just wanted to be a princess as always. After Nathan found the Easter eggs he emptied them all out into bags with candy and money and then he would hide the eggs for everyone else to find over and over again! Rylee and Nate both liked playing the Easter bunny for us. It was a fun Easter around here. Here's the proof!

A few nights ago the kids and Ryan were reading this book and singing songs it was a cute picture with both kids on his lap in Rylee's new room!

Happy Easter 2010!

Finding eggs at our house...

Yeah nice...we woke up to snow on the ground Easter morning...Roxy is a little trooper through all the snow!

More eggs!!

After Easter dinner at Nana and Papa's house, Ryan and Nathan were playing catch...trying to teach him to keep his eye on the ball. Every time we would tell him to "WATCH THE BALL" this is what he would do. Everyone was laughing so hard because he looks like a vulture. Love you Natey!

Possessed???

Our last family of 4 picture! Easter 2010

Nana and Papa on Easter...thanks so much for a fun day filled with CANDY galore and yummy dinner!!! Nathan's photography skills once again!

Here I am 9 months pregnant...pretty much the last picture of me from the side this pregnancy that is FOR SURE!

Carseat Cover

I needed to post something I made for baby girl! I have never really learned to sew but this pregnancy my mom taught me how to make a baby blanket and then she helped me put together a really cute carseat cover (I got the tutorial from my SIL Heather's blog). I made one for Mikaila for her little boy Max too. I have enjoyed learning how to sew especially on my mom's nice sewing machine!! Here are the results of the one I made for our little girl!

March passes by...

March was a great month for our family. We finally heard on the house that we had been waiting on since October! It was a whirlwind month when we finally kind of realized that we might be staying with my parents when the baby came and a week later we found out we would be closing on the house within the month! Nathan was so excited for St. Patrick's Day and was making sure every person was wearing green! He is at an age where every holiday is a lot fun because he understands them now! My mom took Nathan to a basketball game one night by himself because Rylee wasn't feeling well and then Rylee got a turn to go with Nana to a Utah gymnastics meet. Rylee was sick the whole end of February with an ear infection and then it ran into March since she needed a different antibiotic....and then she got a double ear infection towards the end of March so she went a month being constantly sick and not eating very well! Poor girl! We are definitely happy to be in our home now!

Rylee so excited to go with Nana (and Grandma Gloria) to a Utah gymnastics meet. Go Red Rocks! They got a fun surprise that night and got to sit front row right where the girls were warming up. Rylee still talks all about it!

Rylee and Nana ready to go!

Nathan being silly with a number from the car place.

Nathan decided to take pictures with our camera...yay here we go!

Playing catch up...February

So here we are on our final stretch till our little baby girl comes! We are finally in our new house which we are loving every minute...we only moved in just barely over a week ago. I am scheduled to have a c-section on Friday early morning unless my water breaks (which it did with Rylee) or I go into labor...as of now I would be fine with either of the alternatives because I am ready for her to be here! Ryan asked if I would try and update the blog before I have her so here I am! Here is what our month of February looked like:
These are the moments that I love! When my kids are getting along and I find them together being so cute!


Relaxing! Lots!


Nathan being his normal SILLY self! We just love that kid!


Nathan has really been enjoying his preschool and this day was especially great. They learned about crayons and he got to have the blue one. Of course his most favorite color! He wore this all around for a few days!


Nathan sleeping in his bed one night...too funny. He loves his blankey and we found him with it on his head like a headband!


Just getting bigger and bigger by the day! lol This was towards the end of February so I was around 32 weeks along.


Nathan ready to leave for preschool...


Rylee being her normal "princess" self! We love this little girl and the drama (she is the drama queen around here!) she adds to our family!!

Playing with Christmas and a little Dress Up.

Rylee got a princess dress up chest with alot of different clothes, needless to say they really got into it.

Dont they look like they are just having fun.

Sorry Nathan but if you are going to pose for a picture, i've gotta put it on here, Maybee we can se it in the future.

Nathan Loves the city that he got.

Rylee just loves the doll house, we have went in there a couple of times and she is laying inside of the house and her head is in the kitchen area and she says that she is washing her hands.

Christmas Time a lil late!!!!

Christmas this year was spent in Green River at Ryan's parents. It was way cold there, we were watching the temp while playing games on christmas eve and it was like -20, plus it never really got over 20 degrees the whole time there either. We had a good time and the kids really enjoyed their time at Grandmas house.


Rylee was so excited to get this.


Rylee and Kinsey playing with Kinsey's dollhouse.


Nathan was so excited to get this.

Rylee holding her new baby cousin Brailie, we couldnt even get her to blink.

Cousins having a picture taken in their christmas jammys, hard to keep them all still.

The clan waiting for the kids to see Santa.

Kids were really good and got to actually tell santa what they wanted, the list just went on and on.

Oh how Time flies!!!!!

Here is Rylee at Dads Company party, she had just opened this from Santa, cant tell that she doesnt like it.

Playing with the City that Grandma Green River made, thanks Gma

Does'nt he make a wonderful Rudolph. this is how he came home from pre-school

A little fun in the snow, Nathan and Rylee were so happy to get out and make Frosty, it was all good until someone decided to know down the snowman in the middle of the night and take our scarf, the kids were heart broken



The view out the back yard, the black cloud sat there over the middle of the valley one Sunday afternoon, it was kind of cool.
