Vivian Childers RIP 12-26-2010

2011-01-08T12:43:00.000-08:00

My dear sweet grandmother passed away December 26th 2010. I can't even begin to say how much I will miss her. She was such a great lady. She was the oldest of 10 kids and then went on to raise 6 of her own. She endured so much in her life. She lived through the great depression, World War 2 and lost her first husband. I hope that I can be as tough and loving as she was. Above is one of my favorite pictures of her. This was taken during World War 2. It's a part of history that I can hang onto through her. I love you Grandma and I know that I will get to see you again.

Christmas 2010

2011-01-08T12:29:00.001-08:00

This year was an extra special Christmas because we got to spend it with both of our familes. This is the first Christmas I have gotten to spend with my parents in 5 years! So I was really excited for them to be here Christmas morning. The kids had a blast with all of there cousins and of course getting their Christmas Eve pj's from Santa. They all look forward to it every year. Teagan had a little more fun this year but was a little grumpy about getting woken up. He has decided that sleeping past 6:00am is a lot funner lol. The girls loved all of there gifts they got from Santa and us. I can't believe Christmas has come and gone again. I swear if it wasn't so white trash I would leave up my Christmas decorations all year ha ha. It's so much work for only a little while but I have to admit that it is totally worth it. I am sad that all the holiday music is gone. I look forward to it every year. Now it's time to get back into the gym and lose all the holiday weight that I gained back lol. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.

Blogging MIA

2010-12-19T17:54:00.001-08:00

I know I am the worste blogger in the world. I have bee so busy I haven't even had time to think. I wish you could upload pictures to your blog from your phone like you can to facebook. It would make things a little easier lol. So below I have put up a few pics of what we have been up to. The girls played softball from begining of October to the end of Novermber. They will start back up in Feb. so I am pretty excited for that : ) Briley is playing fast pitch and even got to pitch a few games. She is doing so well. Baylee is still playing coach pitch and is learning so many new things. She has a great arm ( when we can get her to focus lol) The league asked me to me Team Mom over all the teams. So I am excited/nervous for that. It's going to be a lot of work but will be well worth it. Teagan is doing good. A terror as usaully but I guess that is to be expected from a boy lol. I will try my hardest to be a better blogger. There is such much that goes on and I need to be better about sharing it : ) We are so greatfull for another wonderful year and can't wait to start a new one.

One year ago a little miracle came into our lives and now has changed them forever. Today Teagan turned one year old and I am still in shock. I swear I just had him and we just brought him home. I can't believe how fast the last 12 months have gone. Words can't describe how much we love this little guy. He lights up our lives everyday. Teagan we are so greatful to have you here with us and we love you.

Sealed June 12th, 2010

2010-06-14T16:48:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday Jordan, Teagan and I were sealed in the Mesa, Az Temple. It was the greatest exprience ever. It was such a wonderful and I am glad that we were finally able to get sealed. We have been waiting for this day for awhile and now it's crazy to think it has come and passed. We are so greatful for everyone who could be there with us and those who wanted to but were unable to. This was and is such a great blessing in our lives and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Disneyland

2010-04-28T10:45:00.000-07:00

Last week we took the kids to Disneyland. It was such a blast. My parents and Jordan's Mom was able to go which made it even better. The girls went on all the rides and loved them. Briley loved the big roller coaster and Baylee loved Tower of Terror. She is crazy I know haha. In all the pictures Baylee is just sitting there not even scared and my Mom and I am screaming our heads off. It was such a great trip and I can't wait to take the kids again.

Here are some pics. I will put some more up later. My computer is being slow!

A little bit of this and A little bit of that!

2010-04-28T10:31:00.000-07:00

So I have totally been slacking on our blog. I know I need to set aside sometime each week to update but things have been a little crazy. So here is a little catch up.

On April 10th Teagan turned 9months! I can't believe it. I mean it feels like when you are pregnant 9 months is going to take forever and now my baby is already 9months. He is getting so big. He doesn't look like a baby anymore. He is turning into the cutest little boy every. He is somethings that he loves and is doing.

- He loves to climb the stairs ( even though he is not suppose to)

- He see's food and goes crazy. I can't eat without he pulling himself up on me to get some.

- He loves yogurt.

- When he see's people clapping he starts clapping.

- He can pull himself up on anything and is starting to walk along side things.

- He says Dadda and Momma ( only momma when he wants something- go figure)

- He loves his sisters so much. He starts laughing and going crazy whenever they come in the room.

- He has 2 teeth now.

- He goes to sleep on his own like a big boy.

- He eats everything he finds on the ground haha.

That is just some fun facts about our little guy. He is the sweetest little thing and we can't get enough of him. Love you Teagan.

On April 17th Jordan, Rick, Jake and I did the Pat Tillman run. I finished running 9 min miles and Jordan finished with 10:30 min miles. I am so proud of him. He did such a great job. Jordan is not a runner and never stopped during the 4.2 miles. He is such an amazing person and I love him so much. I can't wait to do the run next year with him. It was so much fun.

Easter 2010

2010-04-13T11:34:00.001-07:00

We had a really great Easter this year. We celebrated with Jordan's family and the kids had a blast finding Easter egg's with their cousins. Baylee found the Golden Egg and was really excited.

Birds?!?

2010-03-10T13:09:00.000-08:00

Ok so you know those windex commercials where you see the birds fly into the window's.. well today it happend to me. Now by no means our my windows clean what so ever. That's why I think it's even funnier. So I was up stairs in my bathroom when I hear this noise. Of course me being the big wimp that I am I start freaking out thinking someone is trying to get into the house. Next thought is oh no the baby is down stairs sleeping. So I come out of my room and look to the left and there is this dumb bird hitting my window. He wouldn't stop. He would fly away and then come hauling back into the window. He just didn't get it.

I was posting the last blog and the whole time he just kept hitting the window. Finally I went down stairs climbed up on the couch ( it was a high window) and took a towel and hit the window. So now i'm thinking he will get the hint. Well he doesn't.. he then goes to my kitchen window! I feel like I am in that movie Birds. I am now freaked out to leave my house haha j/k but seriously these birds need to go. They hang out in my tree and poop every where and I am getting sick of it.

So there is my random/funny story of the day hope someone gets a kick out of it : )

Briley Jo Lewis, Baptized February 27th, 2010

2010-03-10T12:57:00.001-08:00

February 27th , 2010 our oldest daughter Briley was Baptized! Let me just start off by saying what a wonderful day it was. It gives you such a great feeling when you see your husband baptize your child. I can't explain the rush of emotions you will have. Heavenly Father has sent us such precious gifts. I have never been more proud of Briley. She is growing up into such a wonderful young lady. We couldn't be prouder parents. I am sad that she is getting older but excited to see the great things she will do in life. We Love you Briley and our blessed to have you in our lives.

Pictures From Teagan's Surgery

2010-03-01T13:31:00.000-08:00

Teagan's Sugery 2-18-2010

2010-02-25T09:20:00.000-08:00

Last Thursday Teagan had to have a little surgery. When he was born his muscles were twisted on his man parts so he had to have that fixed. Everything went great with the surgery. He didn't even cry once. He was flirting with the nurses the whole time lol. I was so sad when they took him back. We couldn't be with him when they knocked him out and that made me really sad. Once everything was done the doctor came and talked to us to let us know everything went good. Then we got to go back and see him. He was still a little groggy and it was so cute how he just wanted to snuggle with me.

Now it's a week later and you wouldn't even think anything happend to him. Even the day we brought him home he just wanted to army crawl and play. He has been such a trooper. He got his bandanges off on Tuesday and is healing up nicely. We are so proud of our little boy.

I will upload some pictures later. My computer is being slow and Teagan is hungry lol

2 Sisters 1 Heart Race 2-13-10

2010-02-18T10:41:00.000-08:00

Last weekend our family did the two sisters one heart race and it was so much fun. I did the 5k and finished in 31 min. I was a little sad about my time. I know I could and should have done better. I am just proud of myself for finishing it. So far it's the longest race I have done : ) I did end up finding out that I took 1st place in my age group ( 20-24) so I was really excited about that. It made me feel like less of a slow poke haha. I even get a trophy!

Jordan , Briley and Baylee did the 1 mile run. I am so proud of my girls. The finished so strong. They were not to excited at first to do it but after they finished they they felt so much better. They ran so fast and never gave up. Who know's maybe we will become one of those families who run tons of races together haha. I may have to trick Jordan into it though lol.

7 Months Old

2010-02-10T16:52:00.000-08:00

Today Teagan turned 7 months. I can't believe it. I swear when you are pregnant it feels like your due date will never arrive but then once you have your little one the time fly's by.

Teagan is trying to crawl. One morning he finally figured out how to get on his knee's up and by that night he was rocking. He Likes to try and bear crawl. It is the funniest thing to watch. His new thing is to pull down his bumper when he wakes up from his nap to wait for me to come in. He has been getting his arm caught as you can see lol. What am I going to do with this boy.

Baylee shared her ice cream cone with him the other weekend and he loved it. He could not get enough of it. As you can see it is all over his face haha. He is starting to copy things that people do. He can say Dadda, clap his hands, and just this week he was watching Little Einsteins and was patting his legs and making the sound that they were. I couldn't believe it. He is too smart!

Our little boy is getting so big. The last 7 months have been great. We couldn't have asked for a better gift. He brings so much love and joy to all of our lives. I can't wait to see the new little tricks he is going to start doing this month.

London's Run 210

2010-01-31T12:44:00.000-08:00

So this past Saturday Jordan, his brother Rick and I did London's run. It was so much fun. Jordan and I did the 2 mile. I wanted to do the 10K but was still a little to scared to take it on lol. I have been getting bad shin splints and I didn't want it to hold me back on that many miles. We ended up finishing our 2 miles under 17 mins! I was really proud of us. I wanted to be able to run my miles in 8mins to 8 mins 30 sec. and I did. Jordan has not ran since Pat Tillman last year so I was so proud of how well he did. I was ahead of him the whole time until the very end where he past me. He beat me by about 10sec. I had so much fun and can't wait to run my 5k in two weeks for Two Sisters One Heart : )

The Holidays 2009

2010-01-22T10:05:00.001-08:00

So I know this is a little late but I wanted to get some pictures up from the holidays. We went to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. It was so great to see my family and some friends. For Christmas this year we stayed down here in the Valley. It was nice to start our own tradition but was still sad not being in Snowflake.

I love how pretty the Temple looks.

01-10-2010 Teagan Turns 6 Months

2010-01-14T15:03:00.001-08:00

So I am a little late on this blog lol. Our little Teagan has turned 6 months! I can't believe it. He is getting to be such a big boy. He is all over the place. I can barely change his diaper without having to fight him lol. It's almost like he has velcrow ( I don't think I spelled that right lol) stuck to his hands. Everything that is anywhere near him he gets ahold of. He is way to smart. On his 6 month b-day I made him a cake and gave him half for his half b-day. He loved it. At first he didn't know what it was but then after he tasted it he didn't want to stop haha. I really don't think there is any food this boy wont eat. He is so skinny but he eats like a big kid. I swear sometimes I can't believe how much he eats. He must burn a lot of calories moving all day.

Holiday Time

2009-12-19T09:10:00.001-08:00

Today we went to our ward Christmas Breakfast and it was super yummy. The kids had fun and got to take a picture with Santa.

12-12-2009 Briley Turns 8!!!!!

2009-12-19T08:55:00.000-08:00

What a great day this was. I can't beleive she is 8. She is growing up so fast. She is becoming the cutest young lady ever. We took her out to dinner and to the Zoo Lights. Everyone had so much fun. The girls and me got to pet the sting rays there. It was a really cool experiences. I am glad they had so much fun. Again Happy Birthday Birley we are so proud of you and LOVE you very much.

12-10-09 Tegan Turns 5 Months

2009-12-19T08:51:00.000-08:00

So my blogs are very over due haha. On December 10th Teagan turned 5 months. We just love our little guy. He is getting so big. He loves rolling over and over and over haha. He eats likes a crazy man. If we are eating he has to be eating our he gets really mad. If we go out to eat I have to make sure we have some bread on the table so I can feed him because if not he gets a little mad lol. He already knows how to reach for food the minute he see's eat. I you saw him do this you would think I didn't feed him but I promise he is well feed lol.

Did I Mention....

2009-11-21T12:33:00.000-08:00

The most important thing of all??? Teagan can eat solid foods now. I know crazy right. He has been eating Rice Ceral and Oatmeal for about 2.5 weeks and when I took him to his check-up on Monday the doctor said that he can start eating veggies. So he now eats solid foods 4 times a day and boy does he love it. He now thinks that whenever he sees any kind of food that it's time for him to eat. When it's time for us to sit down to dinner he has to eat to or he gets mad lol.

We went to New Moon yesterday and he was even eyeing someone's popcorn lol. I had to take him to the doctors today because he has another cold ( total bummer) and he has already gained 7oz since Monday haha. He loves his food.

Teagan's 4 month Check-up

2009-11-18T11:22:00.001-08:00

So on Monday I took Teagan to his 4 month check-up. The doctor said he looks great and is growing just like he should. He is still super skinny haha but he has gotten so long. Here are his stats:
L: 25inch
W: 12lbs 5oz
H: 16.5 inch

I can't believe how long he has gotten. When he was born he was only 18 1/4 so he has basically grown 7inch. in 4 months. Crazyness. Even though he is still skinny he is really strong. He can push himself in circles on the floor, roll back and forth and always wants to stand. If I am at the store I will undo the top part of his strap in his carseat, well in his head he thinks he gets to get out because he immeadiatly starts lifting his neck and upper body to get out. Crazy talk I know.

So the other night I had him in his swing because he was really congested and everytime he would lay down in his crib he would start coughing. So I put him in there and I was falling back to sleep and I heard this noise. So I look over and the little stinker had kicked open his swing!!! Thank goodness I had him straped in. Well Jordan thought maybe I didn't latch the thing all the way but I know I did. Well again yesterday he did the same thing when he woke up from his nap. I swear I have a man/baby for a child haha.

4 Months old

2009-11-10T09:56:00.000-08:00

That's right people our little Teagan turned 4 months today. Really where does the time go. I want my cuddle bug back. He is so wiggly he barely will let me hold him haha. He loves his bumbo chair. He thinks it's the best thing ever. My poor little guy has another ear infection : ( . For every month old he is he has had an ear infection. He gets his bad ears from his Dad. I hope we wont have to get tubes put in his ears. Other then that he is doing great. He thinks he is way bigger then he is. He refuses to sit when you hold him. He always wants to be standing lol. I love this little guy so much.

I love that he has to see and know what is going on at all times.
I love that he is eating rice ceral now.
I love that he has been sleeping for at least 8-10 hours every night.
I love that he talks like crazy.
I love his laugh.
I love watching him roll over.
I love how he loves to grab his feet.
I love how he is so smiley when he gets up in the morning.
I love how he loves to talk to the T.V. lol.

Daddy got me a nike warm up.

Jordan loves getting Teagan warm ups to where when he goes to the gym with me. They are a little big but hey he will grow into them : )

Best Friends / Suns Game

2009-11-09T11:43:00.001-08:00

A week ago Jordan and I went to the Suns home opener game and it was so much fun. I have never been to a Suns game and I have been dying to go. I was suppose to go to one last April but I got really sick. Just my luck. It was such a great date night. We also had really great seats. Jordan got this special offer and we were able to get our seats for way cheaper. Which is always a plus : )

This past weekend my Best Friend Jen from California came to visit. I have known her since I was 5 years old. It was so good getting to hang out with her. It was also the first time Teagan got to meet her. She brought him this little toy and he will not put it down. He loves it. I even have a picture of him sleeping still holding onto it lol. She just left this morning and I miss her already.

I Can't Believe It...

2009-10-28T15:17:00.001-07:00

I went to Fry's today and they were having a huge sale. I ended up spending about $18 on all of this food and saved about $75!!! Craziness I know. It sometimes can be a pain cutting coupons but it is well worth it.

Trunk or Treat

2009-10-26T15:28:00.000-07:00

This past Saturday was our ward Trunk or Treat. We all had a great time. I love being able to do things like this. The girls had so much fun getting candy and playing with their friends. Briley was a scary Vampire. A lot of the kids were scared of her. Baylee was a pirate. She was the cutest little pirate every. Teagan was a football player. It was the cutest little outfit every. I put bite marks on my neck to make it look like Briley bit me haha. Everyone kept asking us if I was Bella and Jordan was Edward lol.

Fall Fesitval

2009-10-26T15:13:00.000-07:00

On Firday I took the girls to their Fall Festival at school. It was so much fun. The girls had a blast playing games, climbing the rock wall and jumping in the bouncy house. It so cool how the school puts this on every year. I am so glad we were able to make it. I can't wait for next year.

Happy 6th Birthday Baylee

2009-10-20T17:10:00.000-07:00

Her at her b-day party on Sat.

I took cupcakes to her class today

I just wanted to write a post and wish our little Baylee-Boo and Happy 6th birthday. I can't believe she is already 6. When Jordan and I first started dating she was only 2.5. I can't believe how big she is getting. She is the greatest little girl every and we just love her to pieces.

Sleeping/Teagan

2009-10-13T11:25:00.001-07:00

Let's just say sleep use to be a good friend of mine about a year ago lol. Since then I have not seen much of him. Teagan was doing really well with sleeping up until he got sick. Now for the past two weeks he has been waking up about every 3-4 hours in the nite!!!! Which means I am not getting any sleep. I think he is getting to much sleep during the day. Because when he only takes one 2 hour nap and maybe 1 or 2 30 min naps he will sleep for atleast 6 hours in the nite. So today I decided I would only let him take one 1 hour nap this morning and one 1 to 1.5 hour nap this afternoon and see how he does.

So far he has done pretty well this morning. Not to cranky unless he gets hungry. So lets see how he sleeps tonight because momma needs some rest lol.

Blessing

2009-10-12T10:32:00.000-07:00

Teagan and Kannon. They are 11 weeks apart.

This past Sunday we were able to bless Teagan. It was such a great day. He was so cute and did so well. He didn't even cry while he was up there. Jordan said when he looked down at him he was just smiling and looking at everyone. I am so greatful for the opportunity that we had to be able to do that for him. He is such a blessing to us.

October 10th - 3 Months

2009-10-12T10:09:00.000-07:00

Teagan and his favorite blanket

I was so busy this weekend I didn't even get to blog about my little guy turning 3 months. I can't believe it. Time goes by so fast. He is getting so big. I can't believe how fast they change. He does so much more now and is so alert.

- He loves watching anything on NickJr

- He talks up a storm ( we took him to a movie and he talked the whole time lol)

- He smiles at everything

-He loves to stand up

-He hates his carseat : (

- He is now sleeping in his crib. Sad day for Mommy

-He loves to watch Mom workout

-He loves the blanket over his face when he falls asleep. That is actually the only way he will fall asleep now. Don't know where that came from lol

-He has to have his one flannel blanket to fall asleep. ( hopefully I can get him to grow out of that lol)

He is such a special little guy and we can't get enough of him.

Sick, Sick and More Sick

2009-10-05T16:38:00.001-07:00

My sisters giving me a bath : )

Sleepy time with Mom

Daddy and Me watching Football

That is what has been going on here. Almost all of us have been sick. Baylee started the trend , then I got it and now Teagan has it. Baylee has been coughing up a storm and they said she probably got bronchitis ( don't know if I spelled that right lol) and then Saturday night she puked 3 times. Teagan was coughing all night Friday night , had a fever and had the worst running nose. Took him to the doctor and they said he caught a virus. Last week my throat hurt and I was super congested. Then this morning I work up at 3 and had the worst stomach pains ever. I had caught whatever flu bug that is going around. Hopefully our home will get better soon. Above are some random pictures : )

Clip, Clip, Clip

2009-09-29T16:14:00.000-07:00

That's right folks Teagan got his first hair cut : ( Jordan buzzed his head Sunday night. His bald spot was so bad that he looked like a old man. Jordan left a little mohawk on top. He looks so cute but so much older now. Well at least to me haha. He didn't even cry he just kept looking in the mirror to see what was going on.

Two Month Check-up

2009-09-27T15:39:00.000-07:00

I have been such a slacker lately lol. I have been so busy and tired I haven't been able to get on and post. So last week Teagan rolled over all by himself!!! I couldn't believe it. I put him on the ground for some tummy time and the next thing I know he was on his back. It took me a second to relize what he had done. I was so excited. Of course I was the only one who was home lol. So hopefully he will do it again so everyone else can see.

I took him to the doctor last week for his 2 month check up and the doctor says he looks great. He says he is a small baby but is perfectly healthy. I guess with a boy you don't really want to hear that he is small haha but since he is healthy I am happy. He has put on a lot of weight and height though since he left the hospital. When we left the hospital he was only 6lbs 2oz and 18 1/4 inch long. Now he is 10lbs 11oz and is a little of 22inch long. Which I think he is a little closer to 23 inch. because his head was at an angle when she measured him. He almost doesn't fit in his 3 month Pj's anymore and 3 month pants fit him perfectly.

We just love him to pieces. He smiles and laughs all them time. He thinks it's funny to stick his tounge out and talks like crazy. I will get some new pics up in a few days : )

Mommy Time

2009-09-18T13:13:00.000-07:00

I have slowly figured out that Mom's don't get much time for themselves lol. The time I get for me is either taking a shower or doing my work out lol. Since Teagan has had this ear infection he has been a little bit more fussy then normal. So he has needed a lot of Mommy time. Which is nice to be able to cuddle with him. Getting my work out is has been a little more hectic and I can't miss a day so when I get a free moment that is what I am doing.

Jordan bought me that P90X program and I love/hate it haha. I love it because it is helping me get back into shape and get my bottom smaller haha. I didn't realize how big it got while I was pregnant lol. But I hate it at the same time because it is hard and it's boring to work out by yourself haha. I have started working out somedays with my sister in law. So that does help. So hopefully I will be back to pre-baby body or smaller in the next 30-40 days.

Teagan stays away and cheers Mommy on for about the first 25 mins of my work out and then he likes to fall asleep in his swing. Which I have figured out he loves only being in his diaper haha. What a boy.

Teagan Turns 2 Months

So today Teagan turned 2 months and got his first cut. Also to top it off he also has an ear infection. Poor guy. He is handeling like a trooper. He does want to be help a lot but what mother doesn't love that : )

I would say my 2 favorite things that he is doing but I have so many.

- He smiles all the time

- He loves to talk

- He sticks his tounge out all the time

- He only wakes up once in the night to eat ( now to work on sleeping through the night)

- He loves watching Cailliou ( don't think I spelling that right lol)

- He is getting so strong. Everytime I hold him he locks his legs and stands up.

- He has decided that he would like to wake up at about 5:30 every morning now

- He loves his sisters

- He is always in a good mood for Daddy when he gets home from a long day at work.

But most of all I just love him!!! He is the best blessing I could have ever of asked for. He makes me smile everyday : )

Labor Day Weekend

2009-09-08T10:52:00.001-07:00

So this weekend we decided to go camping with the whole family. We went up by Blue Ridge Lake. Well when we got up there on Friday it looked like it had already stormed up there so we were hoping that we be the last of it. We all had a great time on Friday setting up and just relaxing. It was fun hanging out around the campfire with everyone. Well Saturday morning was a different story. The storm clouds rolled in early and by 10am it was pouring. It only lasted about 30 mins but the clouds didn't leave until about noon. We thought maybe we were in the clear so we all went down to the lake.

Well we were only there for about 30mins when the thunder started to rumble and it did not sound good. We all hiked back up the hill just in time before it started to pour. We ended up leaving that day around 2:30 because the rain was not letting up. All in all it was a fun weekend. It was nice spending time with the family and making new memories. The girls had a blast. It was there first "real" camping trip i.e. no bathrooms haha. Teagan did great. He actually slept most of the time haha. Here are some pictures of our trip.

It works. He is doing so good with his naps. He eats and stays awake for about an hour and then goes down for a 2 hour nap. Yesterday I had a hard time waking him up. He just wanted to keep on sleeping lol.

My next challenge is to get him to sleep in his crib during the day for his naps. He loves to sleep in his boppy so wish me luck.

I love to find him like this after I put him down for a nap. He is just to cute

3 Years and Counting

2009-08-31T08:58:00.000-07:00

Last Friday Jordan and I hit our 3 year mark : ) I can't believe how fast time is flying. Since we haven't done anything the previous years because it falls on Labor Day weekend usually we decided to take a mini vacation. We stayed at Tapitio Cliffs this weekend and had so much fun. That is one of our favorite resorts. Here are some pictures from are great weekend.

6 Weeks

2009-08-21T19:02:00.001-07:00

I can't believe our little baby boy is already 6 weeks old today. He is already growing up : ( He smiles in the morning when he wakes up and is starting to make more sounds. He is such a cutie pie.

Teagan's 1st Day at Church

2009-08-17T11:56:00.001-07:00

So yesterday was Teagan's 1st day going to church. He did so well. He basically slept the whole time and only fussed a little bit during relief society because he was getting a hungry but then fell back to sleep.

I finally found a copy of Baby Wise and started reading it last week. So today is my first official day of starting. For the last week or so he has decided that he doesn't really care to take naps during the day. So I knew I needed to get him back on track. I gave him his first feeding at 6:30 and then the next at 9:30 and he stayed awake until 10:30. He was fighting so hard not to go to sleep. He only likes sleeping in his boppy pillow during the say. It is the craziest thing. So I will keep my fingers crossed that this will help him get on a better schedule. : )

This, That and More

2009-08-12T15:52:00.000-07:00

So much has happend in the last few weeks. Jordan got really sick, the baby got an ear infection and my Dad flew in last Friday to take my Mom back home. It's really weird not having my Mom here. She was here for 3 whole months!!! Once I got put on bedrest she came to help out. She was such a big help. I am so grateful to have her as a Mom. I miss her so much already.

Well we had some birthday's in our house. I turned 23 on July 31st and Jordan turned 26 on August 8th. I just want to say Happy (Late) Birthday to my wonderful hubby. I love him so much and I don't know what I would do without him : )

Also my little boy turned 1month on Monday August 10th : ( I can't believe how old he is getting already. Time goes by way to fast. He went for his one month check up today and here are his stats haha.

H: 21 1/4 Percentile 25th
W: 8lbs 8oz Percintile 15th

I know his percentiles are low but he has come a long way lol. He has put on 2lbs 6oz and grown almost 3 inches since leaving the hospital!!! He is growing super fast. I just figured he must not have had any room left in me to grow and now he is making up for it haha. Here are some new pictures of what he's been up to.

1st Day Of School and 1st Bath

2009-07-29T13:10:00.000-07:00

The girls started school today : ( Summer went by so fast. Today was Baylee's 1st day of school. I can't believe how big she getting. She did so good. I thought that maybe she might cry but she stayed strong. She did have a look on her face when she was standing in her classroom line like " What did I get myself into" haha. I can't wait to talk to them and see how their 1st day went.

Here is Teagan when he took his first real bath. He loved it! Everytime I had to wash him down with a hand towel and soap he would get so mad. So needless to say I was a little nervous about the bath but he loved it so much. He just hangs out in his little hammock lol. He is the cutest thing ever.

Our Little Boy

2009-07-24T13:52:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how quickly they change. He is already 2 weeks old today!!!! He is getting so big already. I was looking at pictures when he was first born and he already looks different. I took him to the doctors on Monday because he nose has been has stuffy. I know first time mom worries about everything lol. The doctor says he looks great. In less then a week he put on another 10oz!!! What a chunk. The doctor and nurses says that means I have good milk haha. Other then that he is doing great. He goes through about 3 outfits a day and loves sleeping on mom. I am trying to enjoy it while it lasts. I try and put him in his bed for most of his naps but I hate being away from him. He is just to darn cute. Here are some new pictures of him.

Look at that dark hair

Baby Teagan

2009-07-15T09:48:00.000-07:00

So it has Taken me a little longer to get to this post up again lol. As many know life with a newborn is a little crazy. Teagan has been a great baby thus far haha. Let's hope that doesn't change. I know wishfull thinking lol.

So on Thursday my doctor did the Non-Stress Test and everything looked good but he was still very concerned about my two ultra sounds. He said that they were so different from each other that he didn't want to wait any longer for me to have the baby. That being said he stripped my membranes and sent me to the hospital to be induced.

They started me on pitocin at 1pm and said that we would see how that went. The medicine got my contractions to come every 2-5 mins but it still wasn't making them any stronger. By 5am the next morning I was still at a 3 and my cervix was still in the mid range. The nurse said that the doctor would be by at some point to break my water.

Well by 9am my contractions were coming every 2 min and had gotten stronger. The nurse talked to my doctor and he said he would be by that afternoon but I could go ahead and get my epidural. I wanted to get it but I was so scared. I cried like a big baby all the way through. I was more scared for that then I was for delivery. Needless to say after that I felt great. My right leg was completly numb lol. I couldn't move it for the life of me.

Around 2-3pm my doctor came in and broke my water. After that things progressed quickly. The nurse checked me at 4pm and I had dialated to a 7. She told me I was going to start feeling a lot of pressure and to try and stick it out for as long as possible. Which wasn't really a problem because I had gotten a shot of benidrill because I was so itchy so all I was doing was sleeping lol.

At 5pm she came back and I told her the pressure had gotten a lot stronger and I felt like if I sneezed he would come out. When she checked me she said that if I did sneeze he probably would come out lol. So she called the doctor and started to get everything ready.

She had me do a few practice pushes and after 2 told me to stop because his head was already coming out. The doctor got there a few minutes later and told me not to push. He said that baby was coming out on his own. My contractions were pushing him out. Once his head came out my doctor told me to give a little push. Well as soon as I started pushing he said stop because the baby came flying out lol.

Baby Teagan was BORN!!!! I couldn't beleive it. I was in shock. Even the nurses and doctor couldn't believe how easy he came out. Teagan is doing great. Passed all of his tests with flying colors. He is healthy, strong and couldn't get anymore precious.

He went to his first doctors appt. yesterday and the doctor said he looks wonderful. We are so greatful for out new little boy. He is the most precious gift from heavenly father.

So I just did a whole post and it did not go through. Grrrr..

Baby Teagan was born Friday July 10th 2009 at 5:42pm. He weighed 6lbs 8oz and was 18.25 inch long. I will write another post about everything later this afternoon after I get some rest lol. Here is one picture of our precious baby boy.

Bummed

2009-07-09T05:53:00.001-07:00

So yesterday I get a call from my doctors office and they say go to the hospital because they are going to induce me. So of course I was really excited but very nervous at the same time. So I get there and they put me in triage first and my doctor wants to do one more ultra sound to make sure that the fluid is where the lady said it was. So they do they ultra sound and the tech says that the fluid levels look fine. They were double what the doctor at PWC said the day before. So of course I am really upset because I knew that I wouldn't get to get induced. Talk about being bummed out. So I talked to my doctor who told me that he could not induce me but that I needed to go to his office tomorrow to do a stress test. Well of course who wouldn't be stressed after that lol. So needless to say I am still pregnant and going back to the doctors for the hundreth time. Hopefully today will be a beter day : )

38 Week Check Up

2009-07-08T07:11:00.000-07:00

So still no change : ( Well the baby has moved down in between a -1 / -2 station which is good. So he is down there and ready to come out but my body just wont let him for whatever reason haha. I only cramp a little every once in awhile so my doctor said since I am not having any hard contractions I am not going to dialate. He said he thought that might happen after he gave me the steriod shots. I am still measuring small ( by a few weeks) so he sent me to do an ultra sound yesterday.

The baby is growing right on track he is looking right around 7lbs 2oz. Everything on him was great and working just like it should. She was a little shocked when she looked at his feet. She said he had some very large feet. So at least he is going to get Jordans feet and not my tiny feet. His amniotic fluid was a litttle low. It's on the low normal side they said. I have another doctors appt on Friday and my doctor said if my cervix still hasn't changed then he will strip my membranes to help me get started. I will keep everyone updated with the latest and greatest : )

37.5 Weeks and Counting

2009-07-02T13:02:00.000-07:00

So I went to the doctors on Monday and there is no change still. I know I still have a few weeks until my due date but it seems like forever. Which I am sure all pregnant women feel this way at the end. So I am trying to be patient and get so extra naps in because I know once he gets here that wont happen anymore haha.

My doctor did say that next week he might send me in for an ultra sound to see how big he is measuring and then if nothing has changed by 39 weeks he would start to help the baby come. So all in all in might only be another 1.5 weeks.

I am so excited to meet him. I am sure that once I go into labor and I am going to be begging to take it back haha. Othere then that everything couldn't be better. I am trying to stay positive and not get to irratable but some days it's easier said then done. Jordan and the girls have been great. I think in someways there are scared to cross me at this point in the pregancy lol.

36 Weeks

2009-06-25T16:00:00.000-07:00

So I went to the doctors yesterday and there is no change. He says that my blood pressure is a little high so they are going to keep and eye on that. Which I guess is pretty normal this late in the pregnancy. Other then that everything is good. Baby is very active and has settled into the birth canal nicely. Besides some pain when I walk I am doing good.

35.5 Weeks and Counting

2009-06-18T17:47:00.000-07:00

So I went to the doctors yesterday and everything looks great. The baby is starting to make his way out : ) I dialated to 1.5cm and went from a -2 station to +1. So he did a big jump over the last week. I think my doctor was a little suprised. I guess my medicine was really helping to keep him in. I could kind of tell he had started making his way into the birthing canal. I feel like I should live in the bathroom and have something to help hold my tummy up when I walk haha. Other then that we are both doing great. I know most people say the last month or so is really uncomfortable so we shall see. I haven't been in to much pain. The baby is growing right on track and hear rate is great. I can't wait to meet him.

Mama went to the doctor and the Doctor Said.....

2009-06-12T06:43:00.000-07:00

No more medicine for my little monkey : ) I get to get off my medicine on Sunday. I am so excited. He says that since I will be 35 weeks and have already had steriod shots that he thinks it time for me to stop. He says if the little guy is ready to come then he will let him. Which now that he can come he probably wont haha. Other then that I am feeling great. Getting bigger by the day. He still moves like a crazy person in there even though there is barely any room for him haha.

I can't wait to meet our new little edition. I will post a new belly picture soon : )

Update

2009-05-28T08:14:00.000-07:00

So I went to the doctors yesterday for my weekly visit and everything went some what ok haha. Since last week I have dialated to a one. Which some people do that and stay that way forever but since I am so early my doctor is taking precautions. Today and tomorrow I have to go in and get steriod shots and they stay at the hospital for a little while to be monitered. He says that I need to get past 34 weeks. Which I am 32.5 now so I think I can hold out that long. Well hopefully. They baby is doing just fine. He is growing and getting those cute little feet wedge in my ribs haha. I am measuring at 33.5 weeks so he must have done a little growth spurt.

32 weeks and counting

Bed Rest : (

2009-05-11T19:24:00.000-07:00

Well it's official I have been put on bed rest :( I am at high risk for pre-term labor. I had to go to the hospital on Thursday ao they could watch the baby and my contractions. My uteris was cramping every 5 mins and I didn't even know it. The put me on some medicine to stop my contractions and it has been helping a lot. I can only be on my feet for 10 mins every hour. So needless to say I am a prisoner in my home lol. The nurses and doctors said his head is pretty low so I have to take it easy. I hope that the medicine will help keep him in there. He is trying his hardest to get out. I keep telling him he is not ready : ). Other then that he is doing good. Very active and he is weighing in right around 3lbs. 12oz so I have a feeling he is going to be a big baby since I am measuring 2 weeks ahead.

My wonderful mother in law came down Thursday and has been cooking and cleaning non stop. I am very greatful for all of her help. My parents just got into town today and I am excited to spend some time with my mom before the baby gets here,

I am 30 weeks. I keep asking the baby to hold on for at least 6-7 more weeks so we shall see if he listens : )

Best-Friend Time

2009-05-05T10:57:00.000-07:00

So my friend Michelle and Shay came down from the White Mountains this weekend. I have not seen her in forever. I moved here with Michelle almost 3.5 years ago. Crazy how time fly's.

Baby Shower

2009-05-05T10:39:00.000-07:00

So this past Saturday my wonder Mother and Sister in law's through me a baby shower. It was so much fun. Everything turned out so cute. I can't thank them enough for making that day extra special : ) I got so many great things. I can't wait to finish the baby's room and put all of his clothes away. I will put some pictures up soon of his work in progress room : )

Suns Time and Sick Time : (

2009-04-16T09:27:00.000-07:00

So last night we were suppose to go to the Suns game with Jordan's team at work. We of course I couldn't pick a better time to get sick. I have been feeling pretty crummy since Monday and I just kept getting worse. I thought maybe it was just alergy's but nope that wasn't it. I have a respritory infection. : ( It stinks to bad. I feel so awfull but on top of that I didn't get to go to the suns game : ( I have never been to one and I was super excited to go. Jordan still had to go though so we let his brother Jake take my ticket.

Well if that wasn't bad enough it ended up being one of the best nights of Jordan's life haha. When they were going into the game a person working there asked them if they wanted to be in the lay up contest. So Jordan, Jake, Chris and Cresta got to go in front of everyone and participate in the fun while I lay in bed sicker then a dog. : ( I am very excited that he got to do that just sad that I couldn't be there. Hopefully I will get better soon now that I have some good medicine.

No matter what I will make it to a Suns game next season haha

The four of them practicing on the Suns Practice court

Easter 2009

2009-04-13T09:27:00.001-07:00

Easter this year was a lot of fun. It was so cute to see all the kids running around trying to find the hidden Easter Egg's. My little Baylee Boo was so sad because she only found 5 egg's and Briley found 7. I told her not to worry. As long as she had fun that's all that matters. All in all everything turned out great and the kids got tons of candy : )

25 Weeks

2009-04-07T08:58:00.000-07:00

Only 15 more weeks to go : ) I can't believe how fast it is going by. I can't wait for him to get here. We are so excited to see what he looks like. Other then that there isn't to much going on in our world besides the normal daily fun : )

Mommie and Me Time

2009-03-23T11:01:00.000-07:00

So this weekend Jordan went on a fishing trip with his Grandpa, Dad and Brothers. They were suppose to go the first weekend in April but plans got changed. Of course I was sad to be away from him but I knew he would have tons of fun. My Mom didn't want me to be all by myself ( I know I am such a big baby haha) so she flew in Thursday night and left this morning. I was very sad to see her go. I wish we didn't live so far apart but I am excited to have her come stay with us for most of the summer when the baby comes.

We had such a blast this weekend. We went shopping and got the baby's crib. I can't wait to set it up. My sister was also in town so we went to the A's vs. Giants game with her and my cousin. It was a lot of fun but very hot out. 90 feels a lot different when you are pregnant lol. We also went to Canyon Lake this weekend so my mom could take some pictures. She didn't believe that Az had any lakes lol. See thinks that Az has no color. While we were going to Canyon Lake we came across this huge Ghost Town called GoldField. It was so cool. Jordan and I didn't even know it was there lol. We ate lunch at the Saloon and took pictures. It was a lot of fun.

Baby Shower!!!

2009-03-09T14:37:00.000-07:00

So last Wed. we flew out to California . We had so much fun. It went by to fast. I wish we could have spent a few more days there but of course we had to work : ( I had my baby shower on Saturday. It was so awesome. I can't belive how much stuff I got. I could only bring home the clothes and blankets haha. My mom will have to bring the rest when she comes in July : ) Here are some pictures of the fun : )

20 Weeks Pregnant

2009-03-03T10:52:00.000-08:00

Well I feel like I am starting to get a little bigger but not much. I feel like my growing slowed down for a bit. I am measuring right on track though. I am sure over the next few weeks I will start putting on the weight : )

Ohhh We're Half Way There.....

2009-03-02T15:08:00.000-08:00

Haha I thought I would start of with a little Bon Jovi.. But that's right folks I am officially 20 weeks pregnant : ) I am half way through and feeling great. Now ask me that question in another 10 weeks and I may be singing a different tune. I went to the doctor today for my normal check up and everything looks great.

I started to feel him move more this weekend. I can feel him kick or punch ( haha) when I am sitting still and actually paying attention. I am sure that will change in the weeks to come when he starts packing on the weight.

We are going to California on Wed. to visit and have my baby shower there. I am so excited to see all of my family and friends. I will put some pictures up when I get back. I will also post a 20 week picture tomorrow. : )

19 Weeks!!!!!

2009-02-24T06:27:00.000-08:00

Well I don't feel that big yet but I am sure that is coming soon : ) I am just glad I have been able to sleep better the past few weeks. I figure it's not going to last to much longer though so I am enjoying it while it lasts : )

Bad and Good News

2009-02-19T07:43:00.000-08:00

Well what a week I have had. First on Tuesday I was driving to work and someone rear ended me : ( Not the way I wanted to start the morning off. Thank goodness no one was hurt. We weren't going very fast and luckily there is no damage to my car. Her car was basically totalled. I am very thankful and happy that I drive a SUV. So after a few doctors appointments everything was fine and well. The baby is great and growing like he should.

Then this morning on the way to work I felt him move for the first time : ) I was so excited. It was so quick I am glad I caught it. I have been trying to move him around in there so I can feel him move again but it hasn't worked. I am sure I will feel it again soon.

I have some new 3D pictures that I will put up . My computer at home is broken : ( So I have to do it from work and I haven't had any free time but I am sure I can make some soon : )

2009-02-04T07:43:00.000-08:00

So we officially found out yesterday that we are having a boy! We were both excited. I think Jordan was in shock for a good hour haha. The baby looks great. Growing right on track. I have some photo's that came out pretty good. I will get some 3d's done when I go back at 20 weeks.

You can see the babies profile , arms and leg.

2008-12-12T09:07:00.001-08:00

I can't belive Briley is already 7!!! She is growing up so fast. She has her first softball game this weekend. She is so excited because it is coach pitch. She is becoming such a reader. I am so glad that she loves school and loves to learn. We did her birthday party last weekend and of course it was none other then a High School Musical party lol. She was so excited. We played trivia, they danced and sang their little hearts out. It was so much fun.

Mix and Match

2008-11-04T16:44:00.000-08:00

We have had a lot going on the past few weeks. With birthday's and Halloween it has been hard to get anything else done. I am sure that the next two months are going to ber very busy with the holidays coming up. I love this time of year. Christmas is my favorite. I love to decorate. If I had it my way I would already be decorating for Christmas but Jordan wont let me : )

Here are some pictures from Baylee's birthday. I can't belive she is already 5. We took her and tons of family to Makutu's Island. It was such a blast. Even Kelly , Becky and I had fun going down the slides and chasing after the kids in the tunnels. We then went out to dinner where Baylee got to sit on the Saddel at Texas Rode House. She was so excited. She said that was her favorite part.

I will put some pictures up from Halloween later this week. Tonight has just been so crazy : ) hope everyone voted today.

A Little Bit of Everything : )

2008-09-14T08:20:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures from the 24th of july , First day of school and Labor Day. I know it has taken me forever to get this pictures up but low and behold they are up now : ). Things have just been so crazy. I haven't had more then 5 minutes of free time. Life is great : ) I couldn't ask for things to be any better : )

Briley Getting ready for her big race! she ended up taking 2nd place. She did so good. We were so proud of her.

Baylee is so tuff. She also took 2nd place. She ran so fast and the other girl beat her by one foot. We couldn't be more proud of how great she did.

Briley on her first day of school. She was so nervous for first grade. She has been doing great in school and has been loving all of her new friends. She has a lot more homework now. I can't believe all the new things she is learning. She is getting smarter and smarter each day. We are so proud of her : )

Some fun pictures we took Labor Day weekend.

The boys played in the softball tournament and took 2nd place : ( But it was fun to watch when it wasn't raining and being windy lol..The girls had fun playing with their cousins and hanging out with Papa and Grandma. I am finally putting some more pictures up. I am a little slow at this lol. But please bare with me : )
