Catch-Up

I'm really sorry I have been such a slacker all these months but I'm trying to get somewhat caught up. I've had all the kids b-days and christmas all within one month of each other but I'm trying to get things updated. I'm starting slow but in a few days everything will be up here. All these pictures are in the wrong order so you might want to scroll halfway down first to Jaxon starting preschool and then scroll to the top to finish it all off. Sorry! I'm not the best with this kind of stuff. Good luck!

Brynlee is a butterfly!

And technically Bridger wasn't old enough to get his face painted but the nice lady did a little something for us anyway.

Bridger (if I remember right) was suppose to be a cheetah.

Brynlee started dance this past fall and LOVES it! Isn't she the cutest thing ever?? I just want to eat her all up.



For Halloween this year the kids were the crew from Monsters Inc. Jaxon=Sully Brynlee=Boo and Bridger=Mike Wazowski. I was pretty happy with how they all turned out. I did have patterns for Jaxon and Bridgers costumes for the most part. I did have to add a little here and there and I painted the spots on Jaxon's costume. Bridger's was probably the most simple. I just had to draw, cut and sew the eye and mouth onto the front of his outfit that I had sewn earlier. Brynlee's was something I could never duplicate! I had to make it without a pattern and I'm still not sure how I got it to work, but it worked so that's all that matters I guess! But overall, I think they turned out fine.

Brynlee had her first dance performance in December. She did a fantastic job and didn't miss a beat. She was ofcourse the cutest one up there too:)






Jaxon's first day of Kindergarten. I can't believe he is that old! He loved it and continues to love it so that is great! He is so handsome!

He looks so serious here. I'm just happy to see that he's not the shortest in his class!

Introducing "Bridgette", our little cross-dresser. Isn't "she" a doll??! I could not stop laughing after I got that wig to stay on his head.

However, that cute little smile didn't last long and this is what we got until we got him out of that outfit.

Josh's work had a company party at the Zoo and they had face painting. The kids loved it, even after standing an hour in line!

Jaxon is a shark

1st Day of Preschool!

Can you believe it??? My little princess is already starting preschool! She looked so darn cute this morning. And she was so excited that it made it much easier for me too:)

She knows just what to do when the camera is pointed in her direction!

The coolest princess backpack around. At least that's what Brynlee thinks. It even came with a lunch box that attaches to it. She was in backpack heaven when we found this one.



My pretty little girl. I can't even tell you how much I love her. She is such a drama queen but I wouldn't have her any other way.

(I love those leggin's on her)

When I picked her up I asked her what she did and she gave me a play-by-play of what she did the whole 2 hours! I hope she continues to love it as much as she did today:)

Bridger Bubs!

Bridger! What can I say about Bridger. He is so cute and chunky I can't hardley stand it! When he was born and they said he was 9lbs. 1oz. I couldn't believe it! That just means there is that much more to love!

He is the perfect baby! He has been sleeping through the night practically from day 1. He is so happy all the time. Last night was the only night so far I have had to stay up with him for more than 10 minutes throughout the night. (Darn those teeth)

He looks a lot like his daddy and a lot like Jaxon does now. He loves his brother and sister even though they are constantly in his face. He thinks Jaxon's funny faces are hilarious and has the cutest little laugh.


He is super ticklish and I know it's rude but I love to tickle him just to hear him laugh! He has the cutest little smile and I love his dimples.

He can say da-da now but he said ma-ma first. (Even though he had no idea what he was saying) He rolls over from front to back and back to front but can only roll to his right. He gets stuck against walls and doesn't know what to do with himself. He loves his mommy and daddy. I love to see that cute little face light up when I come into his room when he has woken up from a nap.

We are so happy he joined our family and love that he's so fat. He is currently 17 1/2 lbs. and growing. He still eats every 2 hours and I love it! I love that bonding time I get with him during a feeding. He's going to grow up to be just as handsome as his brother and daddy and I'll be perfectly happy with that.

Jaxon Bug!!

Jaxon is one special little kid! He is so happy and loving. I love his cheeks and he lets me kiss them, which I LOVE! I hope he never grows out of that! He is so thoughtful and has such a good heart. He loves his little brother and can't kiss him enough. He is so handsome! He is growing up too fast. He comes up with new words or sayings everyday and it's just a reminder to me of how fast he is growing.

He loves to play baseball. (Doesn't he look so cute in his uniform??) He likes to play pretend with Brynlee and they get along pretty good, with much of the credit going to Jaxon for that. He will share any candy that he gets with the whole family, even if it is only one tootsie roll!

He would rather have licorice and skittles over anything chocolate and he loves school! He graduated preschool this year and moves on to kindergarten this fall:( Funny story: At his pre-school graduation all the kids were going down the line saying what they wanted to be when they grow up. Most of the kids said fireman, mom, artist, etc. Jaxon didn't even blink when it came for his turn and said right away "taster", and they moved right on! I asked him later what a taster was and he said "you know, the people that get to taste food." He is so funny!

He loves the outdoors and was in heaven when we went to Montana a few weeks ago. Here he is riding the homemade "mechanical" bull.

We love our Jaxon bug and can't wait to see what this next year in school brings for him! He's going to be a little hottie when he gets older:)

Brynlee Boo!

I think I'll do one post about each of my kids since it's been awhile since I've been on here. First is Brynlee Boo! She is the cutest little bug I've ever seen. She is my spicy girl! But she is also the sweetest little thing. She loves to help out with her little brother and she is a great helper when it comes to entertaining him. She loves to dress up and pink is her favorite color. She weighs 24 lbs. and I don't anticipate that number going up anytime soon.

She is a princess and so am I (if you ask her anyway:)

She always wants her hair just like mommy's hair.

Her smile lights up a room and her cute little personality is addicting. I can't get enough of this beautiful little princess! I'm glad she's all mine:) I love you Brynlee Boo!

It's a Boy!!!!!

So I'll start with the most recent thing that happened to our family! We had a baby boy! I had scheduled a c-section at 39 weeks 1 day because the doctor thought the baby was going to be pretty big and I can't give birth vaginally to a baby any bigger than about 6 1/2 lbs. I went in that morning, got all hooked up, sat and waited patiently for the doctor to get there, walked back to the OR and had a baby! It was great! It couldn't have gone any better!
Here I am waiting patiently for the doctor to arrive!

Dad looking mighty handsome in his "scrubs" waiting for the nurses to come get him.

And then this "little" thing came into our lives!

Introducing Bridger Justin

wt: 9lbs. 1oz.

ht: 21 inches

Time: 8:38am

Our first partial family photo

The first night the kids came to visit and they LOVE their brother!

I loved the pics where they were kissing him:)

All my kids!

Look at that hair! I love that my kids are born with tons of hair. All the nurses in the hospital were calling Bridger the "Rock Star" because of the natural highlights in his hair! And just look at those cheeks. Don't they just make you want to squish them and kiss them?!!

Overall the experience this time around was great! I've been healing really well and Bridger sleeps great at night. I'm able to nurse him and he does great with it! He doesn't go without a meal and he eats every 2 hours (except at night, he goes 4 hours inbetween feedings)! He was a big boy but we wouldn't have him any other way! We love him to pieces and can't get enough of him and his cheeks. I'll try to catch up on all our other stuff soon!

I know I know!

Ok so alot has happened this last month and a half and I have tons of pics to upload but for now I'm not really in the mood. I will get to it real soon I promise! As for now you'll just have to wait! Sorry:)
