2 months

Bryson had his 2 month check up last week and lets just say he never misses a meal! I believe he got 3 shots and of course he cried when they first poked him. As soon as I picked him up off the table he fell asleep. I think they drugged him ;)

check out all them rolls :)

 He has officially out done Reagan when she was 2 months old. She weighed 11 lbs 1 oz at 2 months. If he doesn't slow down soon, I'm going to have some buff arms from his carseat!

Reagan also went to the doctor for her 2 year shots. She likes this doctor much more than she liked the one up in Fairbanks, AK. He doesn't have all the facial hair and he tried to make her laugh all the time. She was only scared of the nurse because she gave the shots. Only cried for a few minutes.

Ward Christmas Party

Our ward had our Christmas Party last night and it was a success! The theme was "how sweet is it" and all the decorations were supplied by a lady in our ward. Amazing!

We had a big dinner consisting of Ham, Rolls, Green Bean Cassarole, Potatoes and all sorts of desserts! It was all very delicious.

We also had a visitor surprise us. Any guesses on who it was?!

SANTA!

He came for all the kids to see and we tried it with Reagan but that poor girl almost had a heart attack she was SO scared. He talked to her and her whole body started to shake and she screamed! Her body continued to shake until we left the church. Poor girl! :( We will have to try the Santa thing every year so maybe she'll get use to him.

Veterans Day

We took a trip up to Dampa's grave and also ate at Village Inn(Dampa's favorite food joint). He birthday was Friday so we decided to celebrate it Thursday and Friday night we also went to Street of New York(another favorite food joint). Miss you Dampa!

And we also went to the Aquarium! It wasn't all I thought it would be but I think Reagan enjoyed it for the most part.





Reagan's 2nd Birthday/Cousin Play Time

I'm just a little late posting pictures from Reagan's birthday. I actually didn't take any pictures at the party so I had to steal these from my mom. We celebrated Reagan's birthday the 23rd with a little pizza party, cake and presents! She highly enjoyed all the friends to run around with.

My has the time flown!

Halloween

This year for Halloween we just went to the ward Trunk-or-Treat. It was very nice to have all the games and activities outside(as we are in AZ). Reagan was not sure about it all at first but she warmed up to everything except people wearing a mask.

She was the cutest Dorthy I've ever seen :)

9 lbs 8 oz 22 in

YAY! He's finally here!

Being only 1 day late :) (i'm glad he wasn't cooking any longer! might have been a 10 pounder!)

I was scheduled to be induced Tuesday(10/12/10) at 5am but when I called the hospital to see if they had any rooms available, they had no room. I thought for sure I'd have to wait another day. But the hospital called me back about 8:30 saying they have a room for me and to be there about 10 :) I was excited and nervous at the same time. Reagan hung out with Gma Shauna and the rest of the family  for the few days we spent at the hospital.

They didn't start the induction until about 11:30 and instead of using pitocin, they used some sort of pill that came in 3 doses but I only got 2! Brian and my mom spent the day at the hospital waiting for little Bryson. They finally broke my water about 8pm and then the painful contractions really started to kick in! I decided I should get an IV just in case I changed my mind about not wanting an epidural. I was just finishing the 1st bag of fluid(you needed 2 before an epidural could get started) and it was time to push! I pushed for about 20 min and little Bryson was born :)

He wasn't crying when he came out so they hurried and cut the cord to get him to his table and of course he cries and they are carrying him over :) Brian and my mom were at the scale when they weighed him and when they announced how big he was I thought they were joking! No one was expecting him to be that big.

We are glad he's here and healthy! And Reagan just adores her little brother. Always wanting to hold and kiss him :)

I was so thankful labor was not taken into the middle of the night!
