The Redds

Introducing a non-bruised Mason/Pete (whatever you want to call him)

2010-01-28T21:20:00.000-08:00

Okay since I am not great at updating this is at least something. Mason had to be on the lights for 4 days so the poor guy was banished for almost a week to this terrible bed. But truth be told I think he kind of liked them because he always seemed really relaxed.

Both Cooper and Payton love to hold the baby.

Kolt has always liked blankets but he now LOVES whatever blanket Mason has. Whenever I am feeding Mason guaranteed Kolt will come over and try taking his blanket. All in all though Kolt is doing so well and I think he has already forgotten that Mason was never here.
part of the reason i never blog is because i can never figure how to get my pictures on and arranged cute. so sorry it is an ugly layout i just hate spending the time making it cute.

Yep just one shy of a basketball team!

Mason Pete Redd

1.7.10 8lbs. 19in
It took a while for us to come up with a name, but this was our compromise. Everyone is doing really well. As you can see Mason was pretty bruised he is getting better everyday we will post more pics soon (yes soon not in 10 months)

MORE ALASKA

2009-06-14T21:28:00.000-07:00

Here are a few more pictures

ALASKA

2009-06-14T21:13:00.000-07:00

So Christian and I were lucky enough to go to Alaska on a cruise with his family (celebrating his parents 49th wedding anniversary). Let me tell you we had a blast. My mom and dad were good enough to keep the boys (I'm not sure if they had as much fun as we did). We hit Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchican and ended in Vancouver BC I think I could have spent a whole week there alone. Here are some highlights from the trip, enjoy!

Thank Goodness it isn't the Swine flu

2009-05-01T12:20:00.000-07:00

So I always feel so bad when my boys get sick, and we got hit with the flu. Cooper puked Wednesday afternoon and then was sick the rest of the day, Payton acted great.
Thursday Cooper had diahrrea the poor kid sharted twice and didnt' know what hit him. We put a pull up on him and he felt way better about that so his underwear wouldn't get dirty. Payton still acted fine.
Friday Cooper woke up at 4:30 and puked, Payotn woke up at 6:30 and got in bed with us, by 7:00 he was puking and has basically puked everyhour since then and it is now 1:30.
I have to say even though it sucks to be so helpless when they feel like crap some cute things have happened. Payton and Cooper both are champs at making it most of the time to the toilet. One time when Payton needed to throw-up I stepped away and came back to Cooper standing behind him telling him he was okay and that he would help him. It was so cute.
wish us luck at the sick house!

Sledding

2009-02-26T22:25:00.000-08:00

We went sledding down Old Main last saturday and they boys had a blast. The baby and I stayed in the truck most of the time (I did participate for a few minutes). The boys were seriously so cute. Click on those to see them close up they are cuter that way!

Kolt Hardison Redd

2009-02-14T13:49:00.000-08:00

So the name is decided "Kolt Hardison Redd". If you ask Cooper he will tell you his name is Berkley. Before we knew if he was a boy or girl Cooper really liked Berkley. The last couple of weeks he remembered that name and that is what he is calling him. We remind him everytime that Berkley is a girl name and we had a boy and his name is Kolt. The boys just want to love on him all the time.

More pictures

2009-02-12T22:23:00.000-08:00

So here are a few more pics. Fun stuff these new babies, fun stuff!

Our baby has arrived!!!!

2009-02-12T21:53:00.000-08:00

Alright we had the arrival of baby number 3 today at 2:30. His official stats were 7 lbs 5 oz and 20 inches long. If you are wondering why I haven't announced the name that is because we are still undecided. On our nursing board we have 4 names listed and are requesting votes from anyone that comes in. The names are: Colt Beckham Kolt Hardison (christian's dad's name) H. Masen and Kid Redd. Feel free to comment on your name of choice :). The delivery went well as you can see Christian thinks he is a doctor now because they allowed him to suit up and catch the baby. Don't mind the baby's purple face he is slightly bruised, he even has a sticker in his cart that says don't worry I am naturally purple (so that no one thinks he is having breathing issues). Cooper and Payton are a little unsure of this whole thing, but they really concerned they constantly ask what the baby is doing and they always let us know when he is crying. We are so excited he his here. Life is GOOD!!!!

wendi's wedding

2009-01-31T19:00:00.001-08:00

Congratulations Wendi and Dusty. We are so happy for you. Okay so wendi got married today and we love dusty so we are so excited. It was gorgeous. I don't have great pictures of the place and the decor but it looked good. enjoy the pics.

now on to Christmas

2009-01-13T14:01:00.001-08:00

Okay so 3 post in 1 day is pretty awesome for me. maybe I should try to put them on a little closer to the actual date. Wendi's wedding and the baby will be my next tests. I will have wedding pics up on sunday and hopefully baby pictures up a couple weeks after that (all depends on the little guy).......Anyway Christmas was a blast the boys kindof got it this year which was so fun. Santa didn't have to get much because of all the wonderful things all of their grandmas and grandpas gave them. So thank you everyone. The boys know who gave them each gift and usually bring up your name while they are playing. Thanks again.

paytons bday you know the big 2

2009-01-13T13:52:00.000-08:00

so in case any of you were wondering yes Payton did have a birthday and we didn't forget about him. I'm just a terrible blogger. No surprise there. Payton desperately wanted a football cake so that is what he got. The two's haven't been so terrible yet. They weren't for Cooper so we are hoping for the same with Payton. Can I just say I think my kids are so stinking cute :)

fun in the snow

2009-01-13T13:35:00.000-08:00

okay so my boys really really enjoy the snow. here are some cute pictures of them all geared up.

some cute pics of the boys

2008-11-15T15:58:00.000-08:00

so here are some pics of halloween and cooper's birthday. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a very important part of our life and Cooper asked everyday where his shell was. Naturally Payton also had to be a turtle. Cooper also has a new love of swords so he deemed himself Leonardo Payton was Michelangelo. Those costumes as pretty dang cute. Thanks to Lisa Bird and Grandma for ideas and sewing skills love you guys.

In case there were any doubters YES I made cooper's b-day cake. (for all of you making fun, that is indeed superman) I had much help from Bridget. We are thinking of going into business together.

And yes that is Christian in that great big tigger costume I guess you could say he really go into Halloween this year!!

The Long Lost Prodigal Sister Returns!

2008-11-10T13:22:00.000-08:00

We're back!!! I know that you all have missed us so much and after much chastening from you fellow bloggers and much to update you all on. I have decided that yes we will return to blogging!!!

First things first. Yes our family of 4 will be increased to a family of 5 on Feb 21 2009 (or right around that date somewhere). We are excited to be venturing into the 3 children world and a little nervous. I guess we are luck it is another BOY because at least we know what to expect with them. We are excited and the boys are way excited too.

Next Cooper Travis Redd is POTTY TRAINED!!!! Let me tell you it really wasn't that bad. He did pretty well and I wasn't too stressed. Our biggest dilemma now is finding TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE underwear. Payton is in the middle of the whole toilet training bit too. He is insistent on flushing for Cooper and allows for zero privacy. All in all it is pretty entertaining.

That is it for now. I need to find my cord to upload pics. I'll do that tonight!! (p.s. it's nice to be back)

Summer Fun

2008-06-24T20:41:00.000-07:00

So we have been pretty busy this summer. We introduced swimming to the boys, and they really do love the water they just have different ways of showing it!

oops here are the pictures

2008-05-28T20:46:00.000-07:00

My Hero!

2008-05-28T20:17:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to put up some cute pictures I had of the boys since I'm always so behind. They are the cutest brothers. They are always looking out for each other. They are just so cute. I do have a funny story from today. So I am terrified of spiders. I know I am 5000 times bigger than them but I am just afraid of them what can I say. So today I am getting ready to scour my kitchen and when I got to the table there was the biggest grossest spider on it. Sick I know, and I was alone with Payton (cooper was asleep). So I called Christian, Casey and Wendi and they were all unavailable. I was shocked that they didn't all just drop everything to take care of my problem. Anyhow Payton and I teamed up I would throw shoes at it and he would go get the shoes (I never got a direct hit) After about 1/2 hour of this Cooper woke up. So yes, being the great mother I am, I sent him in. I showed him how to kill it and told him where to go. I was jumping, cheering, and jabbing with the broom and he was just a swinging at the spider with his shoe, He did it he killed the spider. I was so proud!!! Really so relived. I know that I am a chicken but now I know I can just ask him to do it!!!

1st listing!!!

2008-05-21T11:27:00.000-07:00

Congratulations Christian! Christian has his very first listing!!! We are so excited! It's nice to for him to not just be working with buyers and actually get his name on a sign! So it is 120 acres in Providence. It's right on a hillside but if you know Providence you know how beautiful it is. If you know anyone who is interested in land give Christian a call ;) In all seriousness though Congrats hun!!!! We are proud of you! (for those of you who don't know he is with Century 21 note the gold and black!!!)

IT'S FINALLY HERE... A NEW POST!!

2008-04-15T20:03:00.000-07:00

Yes yes i know all of you couldn't wait but yes I have a new post. So here is what is new. First off we are getting a condo at Yorkshire (west of Kmart) We are really excited about it and then we are going to wait for the perfect house to show up!!

Second my kids love my parents house. Cooper has found a new best friend, Coco. I don't really want to get a dog but to watch my kids with the dog it is pretty tempting. They love that puppy and she is always a topic of conversation. I guess it is a good thing my parents are close so I won't have to get a dog :)

Here are a few pictures of the boys while I was away on Spring Fling. The boys had so much fun over the weekend- they did miss me though :) I brought the boys home golf clubs and they were a huge hit. Unbeknown to me they had been playing golf all weekend so they were stoked to have their own set. By the way Spring Fling was an absolute blast. I totally fried myself one day I might possibly show you the evidence in a coming slide show. You'll have to wait and see!

I have to tell you all it is so fun to get away, but by the end of the weekend I am just excited to get home and see all of my boys (for anyone wondering if Christian is included he of course is!!) I love you guys, I would never want to be gone for long:)!

I am far behind

2008-02-29T20:33:00.000-08:00

Okay so we sold our house and have yet to find something we like in Logan... So we are in with my parents YIPEE! thanks mom and dad we owe you. anyhow the have a mac and I a pretty mac retarded so I don't know how to upload pics onto my blog etc. So until we have a house none of you get to see pics. I know the suspense may kill you!

update:

Cooper. loves kyle's dog coco. He thinks you are only supposed to tell coco "NO COCO DON'T BItE ME!" "SIT" and "DOWN COCO" all yelling of course. but he really does love that dog. No don't think that I am a sucker we still will remain dogless for many many years! We also play guitar hero quite often, he sings i play (i'm pretty dang good all you doubters)

Payton. My goodness he is such a side-stepper. He walks everywhere now and it seems that corners are easier to maneuver as a side-step it is pretty funny. He also loves to jump which involves squatting all the way to the ground with a fast movement up and no feet leaving the ground. He sings and dances constantly which may be a good thing or a bad thing you decide.

Spring Fling: Here' s the deal anyone who is not excited better get excited because the 3rd generation is in desperate need for a spring fling. attitudes better improve and everyone better be ready to party like is 1999!! that's right. anyway I'll get off my soapbox. I am so excited for spring fling and can't wait to see everyone!

Now La Sal (I'm still not very good at this blogging thing)

2008-01-12T20:58:00.000-08:00

Okay so La Sal tends to be a nightmare for my children. For some reason they are not so fun or cute while there. Sorry Christian's family. They live in, well, the middle of nowhere and there are tractors, cows, dogs, cousins, it should be an absolute blast for them and I'm sure (cross my fingers) it will Be someday. We went down after Christmas and went sledding, rode tractors, and played wi th the new puppies.

Birthday-Christmas-La Sal.........(i'm never caught up!)

2008-01-12T20:33:00.000-08:00

Ok so poor Payton was sick on his birthday, which was Dec. 14, yes full on throwing up everything a bazillion times. It was the first time he has had the flu and I felt so bad for him. So we did a quick little birthday cake the next day, nothing special, but we did our best. Now 1 month later he will finally tell you he is 1!!!

Christmas was a blast Cooper really liked it Payton was a little overwhelmed.

I know I'm their mom but they are SO CUTE

2007-12-19T16:19:00.000-08:00

Cooper loves to eat cereal, and he especially loves to drink it. Payon always gets himself stuck. Lately it's been under the table!

Halloween pictures FINALLY!!

2007-11-19T18:47:00.000-08:00

Sorry I am so behind! The boys honestly were the cuttest superheros I've ever seen. Cooper went with Dad to the neighbors and faithfully said "trit ohr treat...candy?...thank uuu!" Payton was my helper we stayed home and passed out candy to everyone else. All in all it was pretty fun. Thanks Aunt Ardy for the halloween party it was a blast!

UEA Weekend!

2007-11-19T18:41:00.000-08:00

So we went to St. George for UEA with the whole damn family!! We had a great time. The boys (well mostly cooper loved swimming). The big boys decided to bathe together and my mom was escpecially proud of herself for fitting through that tiny crevice in this mountain. Pretty fun stuff!
