Mothers Day

My Mothers day started off with breakfast made
by daddy and these great helpers!
We had omelets, bacon, and toast. It was yummy!

I got some great gifts, but this little guy was

by far the best gift of all!

celebrating and thanks to my dad who spoiled

us all and made a wonderful dinner!

Meeting Baby Brother

The kids were so excited to meet their new baby brother. Ashlee just kept pointing at

him and saying baby with a big smile. She is loving being a big sister!

His Arrival

On March 17 our sweet baby Bryson joined our family.
It was quite an eventful day. I arrived at San Antonio Hospital
at 10:30am. My c - section was scheduled at 12:30. My nurse
got me settled in my room , then hooked me up to the monitors.
Right after she left my room the monitors started beeping like
crazy and 5 nurses rushed in. They had me get on my side and
told me the baby was not breathing. I was freaking out and Arlan
had just left the room so i was all alone. After they had me flip from
side to side and put oxygen on me the baby seemed fine. They stayed
in the room for a little awhile and then told me he probably just
layed on his cord for a second. After everything seemed fine they told
me my dr was in with an emergency so my c -section would be pushed
back. Finally at 3:15 I was taken into the operating room. Then it
took them 3 tries in 3 different areas of my back to get my spinal in. By
this time I was crying and my back was super sore. It had allready been
a long emotional morning. At 3:35pm Bryson arrived and it was all
worth it when they announced we had a healthy baby boy. He weighed
6 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 inches long.

Happy Valentine's Day!

New Years Eve fun

For New yrs Eve we went to Magic Mountain with another family and had such a great time with them. I thought it was going to be a little crazy there but it wasnt and at midnight we got to watch a great firework show the park put on.

Boys and their toys. Watch out!

The above pictures are from Christmas Eve. We had a great dinner at my moms and then for dessert had that yummy birthday cake. The kids had fun decorating cookies and opening presents. I think the best part of the night though was at the end when my bro David came out with tons of wrapped packages. He gave one to each boy in the family and had them open them at the same time. Inside were Nerf guns and the guys went wild running around having a gun fight. Luckily they stopped for a moment for me to get the above picture. Thanks David that was such a cute idea and thanks mom and dad for such a fun night.
