Photoshoot

Brynlee had a darling newborn photo session today! Elizabeth Leavitt from our ward came over and took these adorable pics:

Such a sweet little thing! I love them all!!

Elise is 6!!

Elise turned 6 today!!

I can't believe our little princess is 6 already! She was so excited to open her presents we let her do it first thing. She was thrilled to get makeup, art projects, and babysitter barbie!

 Ellie really wanted to share her birthday with her friends but I wasn't in any condition to throw a party, so we compromised and had a playdate at the park! Two of her good friends from school, Charlee and Abby, were able to come, as well as Hazel and the cousins. The kids played for awhile and then we had cupcakes and presents. Very low key but lots of fun!!

Afterwards GG and Grandpa took her shopping and got her the Shopkins ice cream truck she has had her eye on. Then we all went out for dinner to Jason's Deli where they have mac n cheese (her favorite) and self serve ice cream! 

Elise was such a good sport about keeping her birthday simple this year because of the baby. She is such a good sport, when she's not having a melt down :) We sure love our sweet and sassy little princess!! She is our dancing queen, the life of the party, so loving and good at sharing, the best big sister, a great helper, has a big imagination, and a fun loving attitude! We love you Ellie bug!!

All Together

First family photo:

GG and Grandpa brought the kids to meet their new little sister...and they all adore her!! Everyone wanted to hold her and fought over her ;) Dax even held her, but for some reason the pic of him didn't save :/ Baby Brynlee is sure loved around here!!

We decided we couldn't wait to get home to our sweet family, so we are taking baby Brynlee home today! The hospital gave us this cute cake from Trefzgers Bakery...my favorite!! And then we had a little photo shoot while waiting for the doctors to get all the paperwork in and discharge us.

 We are so happy that Brynlee is part of our family!

Our sweet little baby girl was born today, September 22, 2015 at 3:59 PM! She weighs 8 lbs 1 oz and is 20 1/2 in long! 

It was a long day for mom, dad and baby. We woke up at 4 am to get to the hospital where I was induced with pitocin. I labored all day until the doctor finally came in and broke my water. Not long after that they told me to push and within 15 minutes our precious little baby girl was born!

She came out screaming and has continued to cry more than she sleeps...we are going to have our hands full with this little one ;) She already has Daddy smitten! She also looks a lot like Cole did as a newborn, so we had to put a bow on her right away ;) We sure love our precious little angel!!

Tooth Trauma

We went on a nice family walk tonight. Grandpa and Ellie decided it wasn't long enough and went on another one together. Ellie took her scooter for that second walk, hit a bump on a driveway and flew over the handlebars face first. She came home with a fat lip and her tooth looking like this:

 Luckily, we have a dentist in our ward who graciously opened up his office and extracted her tooth. She was very brave and afterward she said it was a piece of cake ;) 

Luckily, it was a baby tooth and would have fallen out in the next year anyway. She has a really swollen lip though and is worried about kids making fun of her at school. I'm a little worried because school pictures are in 2 days ;) On the upside, the tooth fairy gave her an extra dollar and let her keep her tooth! And we got the traumatic incident out of the way BEFORE the baby comes this time!!
