Here are a few pictures of Averi I attemped to take myself..I'm no professional but thought I'd try my own since I can't afford professional ones :)

Averi Noelle 6lbs 8 oz

She finally arrived!! I was scheduled for an induction of Friday the 12th but got bumped to Monday the 15th... I was so disappointed but what can you do. So monday came around and I was waiting and waiting for them to call and tell me to come in. Its now 5pm and nothing I had given up...it wasn't going to happen again :( just then they called and said how fast can you get here? Yeah!!! I'm on my way turned left on Bandgater Hwy and traffic was at a stand still just my luck!! So 40 minutes later I made it to the hospital and 2 other girls had just come in. I thought well its just not meant to be today. They had us wait in the lobby anyway and in about 10 min they had a room. The nurse came in and got me all hooked up and was like are you not feeling your contractions cause I'm pretty sure your already in labor. I was at a 6 so they broke my water and just before midnight she was born. Anyways here are a few pics she's really good so far and Leyton is really good with her as well.

St. George

I just love this picture of his eyelashes... can't mine look like that (not fair)

Leyton picking strawberries with Grandpa in St. Goerge. We went down to St. George at the beginning of the month. I bought Kyle tickets to go see Brian Reagan....it was so good he is hilarious if you haven't heard him you should check him out. He's really clean and just funny!
It was a short trip but fun to get away and actually have Kyle come down with us. Its been about 2 yrs since he's come down. Leyton loves going to visit Grandma & Grandpa they have a back yard (and we don't) he loves being able to go in and out and helping Grandpa in the garden. I wish we lived closer!

It's been a while....

So I haven't been much of a blogger lately...my internet wasn't working for about 2 weeks so that didn't help. I'm getting way excited my countdown in getting low in case you haven't noticed. I'm ready for this baby to come :) We finally got Leyton totally potty trained this past week. He is loving it and has done a really good job. We let him pick out a new toy for going on the potty all the time and this is the helicoptor he picked out!! His cousins had them when we went to St. George and he loved them. It is now an obsession and I want to throw it away:) We also took the front off of his crib off to make it a big boy bed!! He loves it and I am amazed that so far we can put him to bed just like we always do and he actually stays....not once (yet) has he come out of his room after we put him to bed. (I realize this probably will not last but its been nice so far) In fact he still yells for me to come get him in the morning even though he can get out himself.





Here is a random old picture I just uploaded off my camera.... I got out of the shower one day and this was how I found Leyton watching his cartoons with his stuffed animals...I thought it was so funny!

Singing!!

Leyton singing I am a Child of God...and Give said the Little Stream or at least his attempt. Sorry about the fake 'burp' during the song I have no idea what that was about....except that he's a boy and thinks it's funny!




Leyton's attempt at his ABC's, once again sorry about the fake 'burp' and don't mind the nakedness...he loves to take his clothes off. In fact whenever we get together with Polly lately one of them ends up with some clothes off. Last time it was at our house and Leyton had no pants on...but the funnest was (I hope you don't mind me sharing this Paige it's too funny!) Paige and I went to McDonalds a few weeks ago and the kids were playing on the playground and it was pretty crowded...anyways I look up and see Polly going up the stairs with just underware on!!! Paige ran over to get her dressed and apparently Leyton was struggling to get his pants off!!! We had a long talk on the way home about why we don't take our clothes off when were out in public. Not sure how much he understood we'll see :)
