Our baby has arrived!!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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)
