On Friday Little A spent most of the day sitting at this little table outside watching the guys put in the sprinkler system. That night we gave Miss M her first bath in her little tub. On Saturday Little A spent time helping his daddy and getting a few things around the house done.
Saturday afternoon we headed to the Cruise-in car show to see all the cool classic cars and other cool vehicles. Then on Sunday the 4th itself Adam made the family flag pancakes. I love that my husband has so many different talents. That afternoon we took a drive up Providence Canyon so Little A could get a rock and also to look at the waterfalls.
On Monday we all dressed up in our 4th of July clothing. We did not get a picture of the whole family so I am said about that. We went to the parade in Hyrum and left half way through because it was hot, too long, and Little A was done and wanted to go home. That afternoon we played in the water and then that night we headed out to Lewiston to watch FIREWORKS!!! Little A loved it we sat in the back of the truck. Miss M stayed in the truck and slept though the whole thing.
We did not stop celebrating until today. On Tuesday Little A and I frosted cooking and he wanted to wear an apron just like his mom was. That night we went to a BBQ at one of our friends houses. We love getting to stay in touch with our 14th ward friends. On Wednesday I took my first big adventure as a mom of 2. We headed up to Bear Lake for the day to spend time with my family. Little A loves the water and had a blast. Miss M spent most of the day being held by one or his aunts or her grandma. Thanks everyone for all the help. I love the last picture of Little A coming down the slide. Both of the children were so good and rode so well in the car. What a great time we had the last few days. I love celebrating and spending time with family.
Little A wants to be with his sisser all the time. Some times he is loving and the most of the time he is trying to hit her or throw something at her. I love it after his nap when he will snuggle with me and Miss M. Little A loves his new chair, he likes to put his drink in the holder and watch a show. Today he wanted me to take his picture so here he is sitting on my bed!
Miss M first bath at home. She did not like it until we ran her hair under the water. She is a girl for sure she loves her hair/ head to be rubbed. The other top picture is Miss M in a little outfit that my mother-in-law made for her. She made one for Little A too when he was born and he was too big. The bottom two were taken today on her 1 week birthday. I love how awake she is in the one and the little bottom of the outfit is so cute.
Once we got there they got me all hooked up and started the meds to start labor it was now about 10:30. My mom and Kim brought Little A to see us. He wanted nothing to do with me but wanted to draw a house with daddy and play with the blinds. At the time I was at a 1. She keep moving and they keep loosing he heart beat which was a little scary for us but no worries they would come in and find it. At about 1:30 they told me that my Dr was on his way to come and break my water. I waited and waited and he never came. Finally the nurses told me that there was a car wreck in the parking lot and my Dr was there when it happened so it would be awhile at the same time Jamie was waiting for him also for her Dr apt. Around 3:00 pm Dr. Horsley came in a broke my water and I was still at a 1. Not a whole lot of progress. I was getting frustrated and wondering if we would ever get this little girl here. At 4:00 when they checked me I was at a 3, yea for progress. Not much changed in the next hour then at 6:00 I was at a 6. Around 7:00 I was having major pressure on my tailbone and Jodi and Kim were sure that they had done something wrong with my epidural. So we called in nurse in around 7:15 and she checked my and I was at a 9.75 they called my Dr and he left to come up he was there at 7:25ish and a few contractions later she was here at 7:33pm. Weighing in at 8 pounds and 6 ounces and 21 inches long.
Right after she came. I love the after birth pictures the mom always looks so great!
Her first bath She was not a huge fan of it until they ran her head under the water. She is already a true girl she loves her hair to be played with and washed. They now wash the baby in the room with the mom and the dad. It was really fun to get to she her first bath instead of just sitting in the room wondering what is going on in the nursery.
Proud daddy and grandpa and grandma at the hospital. Big brother finally warmed up to little sisser. Miss M ready to head home!
Miss M when she first got home. My mom had Little A and she brought him over to see her. Little A has wanted a dump truck with a tractor. So we found this one on the Internet and decided to keep it and have it at home for Little A when Miss M come home. We told him the sisser gave it to him and he still tells everyone about it. Just look at Little A cute face when I told him to smile over his new toy.
I am so lucky to have an awesome Husband (the father to my children), Father and Father-in-law. I have learned so many things from my dad and love him for the things that he taught me and the time that he spent with me though out my childhood. I am grateful for Adam's dad and all the wonderful things he taught Adam. My children are lucky to have both these men as Grandpas.
That same weekend was the Summerfest. My mom, Kim, her girls, Little A and I headed over to see what was there this year. The kids loved the Kids craft center. While in there we ran into Little A cousin Faith too. I love that we have so much family in the valley Little A is always surrounded with cousins.
Back to the race. On Friday we all gathered at the shop to see Shea run leg his first leg. We did not get to see Lance run because his leg was up in a Mt. somewhere. On Saturday My mom, Jodi, Kim and her kids, Tonia and her boy, and Little A and I headed to Park City to see the team finish. The teams get together and run across the finish line. I did not get a picture but Adam's sister Holli ran too and we saw her at the finish line also. Little A thought it was so fun to cheer everyone in.
A few Saturday's ago the Logan Air Port had an open house. Little A love airplanes so We decided that we were going to go. It ended up being a party like most things do in our family. Many cousins and Grandma and Grandpa came with us. Little A and I did a Parent and Tot swimming class. He thought is was great. Swimming is one of his favorite things so every day he looked forward to going to class. He looks so small in the swimming picture on that bench. Some of the things you would hear Little A say during swimming were, Hear Under, Jump off Side. No float on back, and Toy container. One morning we made brownies nothing like a little brownie batter right after breakfast.
