4 weeks old!

Wow, where does the time go. A girl from my old ward made a statement that was so true. She said, "why can't the first nine months in go as fast as the first nine months out!" So true. However, I wish it went as slow as the nine months in. I can't believe how fast 4 weeks has flown by. I am so in love with my new little man. I look forward to all the fun stages to come, but I hate how fast babies grow. Teagan has brought so much joy to our family. He is a great eater, never cries (plenty of grunting), is so sweet, and not so much a great sleeper yet. I am sure I ruined that one! Teagan will be one month old on Christmas Eve. Where did December go? I need to get done with Christmas preparation!

A buddy for Teagan

My cousin Natalie and I always use to talk about how much fun it would be to raise our kids together. Well, it is finally happening. Chase and Teagan are only about 8 weeks apart in age. They will have so much fun together. I hope we continue to see them often because unless Trevor and Heather get on it (wink wink), then my children won't have any cousins their age!
Here are the cute little guys! Teagan decided to use his buddy as a pillow for his nap. He wasn't too interested in their first photo shoot as buddies!They are so stinkin' cute aren't they?

Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!

I believe that this is their 26th Anniversary (I have now been informed it is the 27th!) I am so grateful to have such wonderful parents and for their great examples. They have taught me so many things and have been there for every aspect of my life. I consider them good friends now that I am older and wiser than I was in those teen years. I honestly don't know where I would be or what I would do without them. I want to thank them for still being married. Doesn't seem like the popular thing to do these days. I remember when I was little and they would get into little "married couple" arguments. I remember being so nervous that they would get divorced. Turns out, everyone has disagreements and I was being a little dramatic. I wouldn't trade having them married for anything in the world. Happy Anniversary and we love you!

What's the big giveaway!

So first off, people can be sooooo weird. My friends and I have been pretty appalled lately at people's comments during pregnancy. I have had a couple friends be asked if they were having multiples and in my opinion, you don't mess with a hormonal pregnant woman! Anyways, so here's my great random comment. I am checking out at Walmart last night and in quite a hurry. The lady is very intrigued by my newborn. She keeps staring at him in his stroller, asking several questions, and in the meantime, forgetting to do her job, cashiering! As we were finally finishing up she says, "You're nursing, I can tell." I am quite confused and just look at her and she says, "aren't you?" I simply say, "Yes, bye, have a good night!" Okay, what in the heck. I look down at myself, look at Teagan, and still leave all confused. I don't know what in the world she was talking about! Ahh, some people!

Hey Santa...

We took the boys to go see Santa on Thursday night. As you can see it was action packed. No crying from either of the guys and Santa was pretty emotionless as well. We got in, got the pictures taken and got out, and that was about all there was to it. Santa asked Hayd what he wanted for Christmas and with a single emotionless word he said "toys". "Toys it will be" said Santa. It was truly a riveting experience. We'll see if we can get a few more smiles from the guys next year.
