Cuddly Bug

The other day Dawson woke up from his nap and Brandon happened to be home so I gave Dawson to him. I went to go check on something and came back to Dawson cuddling with his Daddy. It was so sweet and precious. I am so grateful to have a husband that is so attentive and loves his kids so much! I sure love my boys!!

 

 

 

 

The matching duo

For Bekah's baby shower before Carter or Dawson was born I got them matching outfits minus the color and we finally got them together and took pictures. I'm glad I chose the blue one for Carter because of his blue eyes and Dawson's for his redish orangeish hair. Oh they are so CUTE!!

 

 

 

 

Meeting cousins for the first time

 

 

 

At the beginning of January we all got the opportunity to meet my amazing and beautiful cousin Katie's two adorable kids. It was so much fun they played games and we tried to get a successful picture of all of them. Well, atleast they were all in the picture, right? Katie it was so good to see you, your awesome husband, and finally meet your oh so cute little ones.

Failed to mention

P.s Brandon got a new calling. It is an eye opener and we are relying completely on faith. Brandon was called to be the 2nd Counselor in our Bishopric. We are excited and know that we will recieve blessings. Brandon is so amazing. He is patient, kind, and such a worthy priesthood holder. I am so grateful to be married to a man that loves his family and is a righteous example to me and the kids. Babe we love you and thank you for all that you do for me, the kids, and so many others!

6 Months old already?

Well Dawson has been 6 months now for almost a week now and I am just now getting to posting on the updates of how he is doing. He getting so big, but he is pretty average for his age which is a first for our family so far because Syd was always on smaller side of the scale and still is.
Dawson weighs 16 lbs 14 oz. which is exactly two pounds bigger from his 4 month appointment. He is 25 3/4 for length and his head circumference is 16 3/4 inches round. So he growing fast and steady.
He is such a happy and good kid. He loves rice cereal and so far carrots and bananas. He can be a little stinker though because he still could care less about standing for a long period of time and sitting on his own for a long period of time. He can sit while holding on to something, but the doctor just says he's a lazy easy going baby and nothing is wrong with him.
He loves to smile and play with his sister. He is actually really sick right now with a nasty cold and cough. I feel so sorry for the kid especially at night. He can't breath and his voice is so raspy and his cough is still so dry, but no fevers so that we are extremely thankful for. It is kind of funny sounding though we he babbles and talks his voice is so manly sounding.
On a side note Syd has been completely potty trained for sometime now, I just keep forgetting to post that, but she is doing awesome and we are so proud of her and are so grateful for not having to by diapers for her anymore, just pull ups for night time. That I can handle. Well the kids are tired and ready for their naps, so I better get goinh. Until next time!

Christmas 2009

Christmas this year was a lot of fun. What made this Christmas so enjoyable this year was first off I wasn't so stinkin sick from pregnancy. :o) No really it was a blast. The Sunday before Christmas Brandon's family came up for church and we exchanged presents. It was alot fun and we got spoiled from them Thanks!! The next day I went shopping with my mom and Brandon was still feeling pretty sick. To explain that, a week before Christmas I was sick with a 24 hour stomach flu bug. It pretty much stunk. Than later that week Brandon started to get really sick, but his lasted longer than mine and his was worse, than a couple days after he started to get sick Sydnee got really sick. Yeah that part was not fun, but we survived and we all felt better by Christmas day that was a blessing. Ok back on track. Tuesday we went to American Falls where my amazing sister Jami lives and we enjoyed an awesome day with my side of the family except my brother Kolby which we were way bummed about and missed him a ton. We had a fun day of doing crafts, eating a way yummy dinner, caroling, acting out the birth of Jesus which was hilarious with all the young kids, opening exchanged gifts, and singing happy birthday to my wonderful SIL Bekah!. Yeah busy day, but it was awesome!! Thanks everybody for an amazing christmas this year. On Christmas day we stayed home and opened gifts as a family and loved it. Syd was finally getting the idea of what Christmas was really about. Everday night before we went to bed we would read a story that would remind us of the true meaning of Christmas which is Christ. It was truly amazing and will forever be a tradition in this family. I love Christmas and I will admit I still feel like a child on Christmas Eve. Thanks everyone who made this year amazing and truly wonderful. All the many friends and family we love you!!

Merry Christmas

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Another project

 

 

I decided to make a table runner for Christmas. I kind of messed up the interfacing, but lucky for me you can't see the interfacing considering it is in the between the fabrics. I was proud of myself though for figuring it out. I got the fabric from JoAnns and I fell in love with it.

Everyday is this good

I love my boy!!

 

I love these pictures of Dawson. This first one was taken without a flash, but I had to post it because his face is so funny and cute. I was getting him ready for bed one night and rolled him over to rub his back to get some gas bubbles out and when I rolled him over his shirt rolled over with him. I thought he looked so cute and yes slightly foriegn, but cute.

 

 

Thank goodness Dawson was in the picture with me or else this wouldn't have made it on the blog. Smile buddy!

 

Syd is so funny she finds the funniest places and spots to watch tv. Maybe she was trying to tell me to do my job and fold the clothes. Either way I wouldn't have been able to do it with her cute little self in the basket.
