Nothing Cuter!

So remember back when I did the post about all the pregnant women in just a small area in my neighborhood.  Apparently these were 6 out of 20 or so.  Here are the results. 
Precious little baby feet.
This could totally be a postcard.

Go Utes!

What a season for the Utes! Unfortunately, Although we are huge fans, we didn't attend any of the games this year which was a huge bummer! My brother Jon serving in El Salvador is the BIGGEST Utah fan I have ever met. He missed a great season and isn't too happy about it. When he heard the news about how the bowl game went, he said he felt baggy. Good thing it's recorded and he can relive it in 7 months. Anyways, here are some pictures of my little Utes on the day of the big victory!
The boys in their Utah outfits.
Hard to not get a silly face during pictures with a two year old.
Brian's team at Discover game us this package with all the baby Ute accessories. It came with the blanket, the shirt, a hat, booties, and a bib. Too cute!
He was smiling it's just hard to get them to smile, and then take the picture. Can't quite capture the exact moment. He is a smiley little guy and it makes me happy to see him smile.

New Years Eve Surprise

Our good friends, the Gardner's were due with their first baby on January 4th. Funny enough, after all the talk about him hopefully being born before the year was up, he came all on his own on December 31st. Kacey had known for a week or so that he was breech and that c-section was a possibility. Sure enough, he didn't turn and he was footling breech which means his foot came out of her cervix! Ahhh! So it was an emergency c-section. Her water broke at about 7:00 in the morning and he was born at around 9:40. Steve and Kacey have been awaiting this little guy for a long time and he was well worth the wait. He is a very handsome baby and watching Steve and Kacey with him is amazing. They are such cute parents and we are so happy for them. Gavin is going to be Teagan's best friend and buddy! I can't wait to see these two in the years to come.

Teagan with his hand around Gavin. Yes it is staged, but SO adorable!Gavin isn't quite as excited as Teagan about this friendship quite yet.

Christmas 2008

Christmas was crazy as usual especially with all the SNOW! I couldn't believe how much snow we got. That didn't make the whole getting two kids in and out of the car-go 100 places thing very easy! We started the morning at about 7 or so getting ready before we woke Hayden up. When we were ready we both went into his room shouting, "wake up, wake up, Santa's been here!" That is from his favorite Christmas movie, "Polar Express." He always yells that at Teagan when he is sleeping. After we did our own little Christmas we went to Brian's Mom's house for her brunch. Then we headed to my parents for opening presents and talking to one missionary. We talked to Jeremy first and of course he was amazed that he could carry on a conversation with Hayden. After spending awhile at my parents, we went to my Grandparent's house for dinner and gifts. Christmas has sure changed there. Grandma has lost a LOT of memory and capability to do a LOT of things. My poor Grandpa has turned into the Chef and just tells his little sidekick Nancy what to do. She doesn't really drive anymore either so shopping is out of the question. We did get nice gift certificates and a little $10 gift exchange. We also don't see my Dad's brother and his family anymore! Sometimes I think about the good old days and wish I could pay money to go back for a day, especially on Holidays. We were able to talk to Jon up at my Grandparent's for awhile and he too was so surprised by how much Hayden has changed. I loved talking to them and miss them a ton! We spent the rest of the night pushing Trevor and Heather's car to safety and then going to my parents for a short while and then went home. Quite a wild goose chase!

Brian did so well with my gifts this year. I told him he couldn't use the excuse, "When do you think I had time to shop?" due to his abundant time off before the years end. He made this cool book of my blog posts, picked out the cutest designer jeans, a couple shirts, and got me the biggest gift I have ever received....my CANON REBEL XSI DIGITAL CAMERA! He is amazing and said he had been saving since my birthday. Thanks babe, I love you!
Let's just say that Hayden always ends up with too much. He got a little people garage, legos, fridge phonics, games, clothes, pajamas, shoes, Elmo live, a light saber, and much much more! It has kept him plenty entertained. He is very appreciative of everything which makes it so much funner. He even told us how pretty the ribbon was on the wrapping. He also takes forever to open presents because the bow and tag had to be off before he would ever so gently put his finger under the paper and move it under the tape. You know, how the old people do? What is with my 2 year old?
Teagan thought Christmas was like any other day, except being put in and out of his carseat a billion times! Good thing he is easy going. He got a couple toys, pajamas, clothes, a new mobile for his crib since Hayden broke it when he was a baby, shoes, and a couple other things.Brian is easy to please. He got a DVD, a shirt, a shop vac, an i-home, and a couple other things as well.
Just a cute picture of my Dad and Teagan on Christmas. He always bundles babies so cute. Teagan is intrigued by my dad already. He loves his voice and has started to follow him around the room.Here's my boys with their sweaters on. I was so excited to dress my boys in matching outfits when I found out I was having another boy. Turns out, most places don't sell matching outfits until the baby is in size 6 months. The sweaters were pretty similar and darn cute. Lucky for us, Teagan is a HUGE eater and is now fitting into 3-6 months at 6 weeks.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas because we sure did!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a bit different than usual. Like I mentioned before, it was way hard to get anything done during the holidays this year. When I finally was ready for the day, it was nap time, feeding time, tantrum time, etc. I hardly accomplished a thing I set forth to do and then there is all the parties, festivities, etc. It was fun anyways! I wish I could have done the whole classic "pajamas on Christmas Eve" thing but I settled for pj's I had bought the boys long before Teagan was even born. They were still stinkin cute all matchy matchy! We went to Brian's sister's house for awhile and then to my Grandparents house. We then went to our house where we spent our first Christmas Eve/Christmas at our own house. It was a last minute decision but was nice. Not to mention that Bri and I were up till 2:30 in the morning. Hmmm, I wonder why and no it wasn't even the baby! We didn't take too many pictures but here are a couple.


Teagan is 1 month!




Teagan was 1 month old on Christmas Eve. Of course I was crazy busy that whole day as much as I tried to avoid it. I think that having a baby right before all the holidays began was HARD! I wouldn't trade it for anything, but that month was way too crazy. I wish I could have just enjoyed my boys more but the stress and busy schedule just got the best of us sometimes. Teagan is such a sweet baby. I keep waiting for him to CRY! He grunts to get what he wants. He is sleeping about 5-6 hours straight during the night and eats like crazy! He has this sweet innocent look in his eyes that just melt my heart. I love my little man and really feel he is a huge blessing in my life. What an experience it has been to get him here. I have learned a lot and feel so much joy with him around. I also can't believe how much work 2 children is. Hayden is the best brother ever. He is so sweet to Teagan.
