Braiden Play Date

Braiden had a play date yesterday! A friend of mine in my ward had a dentist appointment and her original babysitter, her kid was sick she couldn't watch him, so i told him i would take him after my doctors appointment. Braiden and Chase had a blast! Mom usually has them in nursery but they never played together. They had so much fun he even came over all today!

Here are some cute pictures of them on day 1

Day 2

Chase came over at 6am because Kristen (his mommy) works at a high school teaching agriculture, anyway that's when she needed a babysitter so I stepped up to the plate. If all don't really know, I sleep in until 1030 or 11 everyday! So waking up this early was huge for me! Anyway I was hoping he'd take a nap later in the afternoon and we could all get some sleep. Well he didn't, it was hard to keep myself awake but it was worth having Braiden have someone to play with and be occupied all day instead of getting into mommy's stuff when he is not suppose to! Here are pictures we took today!

Just adorable!

I am definately going to sleep tonight.... well i am sure Houston will find a way to keep me up, but i get to sleep in!!!

Belly Pics 36 Weeks

Here are some belly pics for my 36 week mark!

I had my doctors appointment with my new doctor on march 1st! She was very nice! The medical center itself kind of had me nervous because i went when they had woman from prison getting well woman checks there. There was a bus outside, and a line of women along one of the walls in green and white striped outfits in handcuffs! Freaked me out a bit! Anyway, i sat there for 1 1/2 hours waiting to be seen, and when i was finally seen, i heard the baby's heart beat, nice and strong! The nurse said "Dang! This little boy has a louder heart beat than you!" She found it right away so that was comforting to know he's healthy! Also he is still measuring 2 weeks bigger, so we will see next week if my due date changes. Houston is head down and ready to come out! Every time he moves i have to stop and take a deep breath because it hurts so bad! I have lost sleep for now 3 weeks! I am so so uncomfortable but i am being very patient! Mom wants me to start running to get him out! She wants to see him now! lol

Anyway i go in on the 9th to get checked to see if i am dialated at all (freakout! it's all happening now!) and to see if my due date has changed! Update will come then!

Snow in Texas?!

Ok so it totally snowed last week it was completely insane! I have never in my life seen such HUGE snowflakes! Not even when we've gone snowboarding! It was crazy! Mom thought it'd be fun when she got home from work to make a snow angel in the little t of snow that stuck to the ground, and build a 12inch tall snowman on top of my car! I will have to get pictures from her!

My car getting covered Braiden totally loving it The house Mommy and Braiden playing in the little bit of snow! It was freakin cold too!

Yeah and believe it or not the snow melted the next day and it rained a little but it was beautiful outside, nice enough to wear a light sweater and jeans! The weather here is hilarious! It is so different everyday!

Happy 12th Birthday Stevie!

the teeth and tongue were tic tacs! So funny! the guts were also cherry pie filling Didn't get a picture of him next to it because my camera died, but he loved it!

The wait is on for Colten!

The wait is on! Colten's mission papers were officially turned in today! 10 days is the magic number!

Goodies for Houston

You think Baby Houston is spoiled yet? Yeah most of these gifts were from Grandma Cyni! My Mom is going to spoil ever kid I have I swear!

Blankets! I got the monkey one, Mom got the rest! (We got different blankets than Braiden's because he likes the ones with the silk and he would steal them. So went with these ones so they don't fight)

Recieving blankets are my all time favorite kinds of blankets! Mom bought all of these! I especially love the thermal blankets! Mom bought these too! GG (Grandma Jeannie) bought the socks, Mom bought the brown booties and converse shoes, and Grandma Jarvis bought the Little buddy booties! Mom bought all these outfits!

I love them all but i think this one is my favorite!

This one i've decided to be his "Coming home from hospital" outfit! Unless Mom finds something cuter, but i don't know! We've made it a tradition for Grandma Cyni to buy the baby's "Coming home from the hospital"outfit and GG (Great Grandma Jeannie) is to buy the Blessing outfit! I would like to involve my sweet Grandma Sue to buy every baby a blessing blanket since my Grandma Jeannie buys the blessing outfits! If she is up to it! My Mother-in-law makes every single one of her grandchildren a quilt so that's her tradition, now every grandma is a part of the baby's life! I used my baby brother Jace's blessing blanket for Braiden because it was such a short notice to ask grandma sue, but i hope this year she will be able too!

Then i got a Mommy Hook! This thing is awesome! It hooks to any stroller and carries all your bags, for like the mall or whatever! I love it!

Mom and I are going to Toys R Us to do this exchange deal they do now, you bring in any kind of baby accessory like bassinet, crib, stroller, car seat, no matter what condition, or if there's missing pieces, or even if it's moldy! They take it all, and they give you a 25% discount on any baby accessory in the store no matter what price. You can bring a car seat and get 25% off a crib, it doesn't matter what you buy! Anyway, i want to bring in Braiden's car seat and exchange it for a new one and i am going to bring my old stroller that came with Braiden's baby car seat and exchange it for a double stroller! I am super excited! But that sale is only going on until February 20th! I hope we can go sometime this week when mom isn't working! She can also get me an additional 10% off with her being an employee, so that's awesome too! Well that's all the goodies for now! I definately have more that i want to go get! I can't wait to hold my baby and cuddle in in his new blankies!!!! 7 weeks left!!!
