Baby Andrew

Andrew. You are adorable. He got a bath this morning and his hair was super soft and fluffy. It was so cute. He is such a good little guy. I can't get enough of him. My inlaws have been so awesome to keep the kids for two days. I've been able to relax, sleep and just hold this sweet baby. I couldn't be happier to have him in our home. What an angel baby. Don't get me wrong, from 11pm-2am I wish he'd not desire to have me hold him and snuggle him. But really, I know this changes and so for the next few days I'll just keep loving him and understanding that time passes, the sleepless nights don't last forever, and newborns grow and get chubby. So until then I'll enjoy the rest of my quiet house and just snuggle him. He's as cute as they come.

 

 

 

My newest love...

Let me introduce you to our darling little addition to our family...
Baby Andrew

He was 6 lbs. 11 oz. 20 inches and born at 3:42pm

 

He has long feet and long toes...

We are all in love.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I couldn't be more in love with this little guy. I just keep saying, "I'm so happy he is finally here!" I just love him.

He's got this awesome set of spikey hair!

 

Caleb was finally thrilled to be reunited with our family and to meet his new baby brother.

Many cousins came over to meet the new baby too!

Random Picts...

Oh, it's been forever since I've downloaded pictures. But in preparation for the baby I decided to empty my memory cards. So I found some "GEM" pictures of Ben I don't want to forget. This picture above was Alayna and Jake's doing...they were playing so well downstairs one morning. Then I hear them laughing hysterically....needless to say we ALL were laughing. Ben was dancing around with this fluffy dress! Oh, it was hilarious!!!

Ben is a stinker...I make my bed. Then he hides inside and some days he thinks he's a pirate!

I can't get enough of that cheesy face smile.

And then there are the every on going messes...seriously! I had just popped popcorn for some neighbor treats before Halloween. Well I turned my back for three seconds...seriously...and he was all in it making a great mess....Thanks Ben.

 

Yup. Thanks for yet again another mess to clean up!

Out to boo some neighbors...The kids loved being secret spy's. They were on cloud nine!

Here was the best photo at the pumpkin patch. The last Halloween with four kids. Crazy. I can't believe another little dude is joining this wild bunch of monkies. Wish us luck!!!

Halloween 2013

Happy Halloween 2013...

Jake the Black Ninja

Caleb the Red Dragon Ninja

Alayna the Pirate Princess

 

A warm cozy snugly oh so grumpy Bumble Bee

A real Ninja...Really...

I giant pregnant momma with her four wild trick or treaters....

He's now a vampire Red Dragon Ninja

Learning the wonderful world of Ring Pops...Alayna suggested we give one of these to Ben every single week during sacrament meeting. She said it would make him so good and soooo quiet! I just think we might have to consider this as a new reverent idea!

Caleb returned home an hour earlier than the other kids....

He was exhausted!

Alayna and Jake went hard til about 9pm...crazy kids!

Yes I was there.

So was Jared.

Jacob's stash of goods.

Nothing better than starting out Halloween morning with sugar Halloween cereal! Yeah, baby! I'm such a cool mom!!!

Alayna showing off her curly pirate hair.

Off to the school parade.

Our black ninja...Who knew they were walking so fast I couldn't get a clear picture! Oh, well. The holiday was awesome as usual. The kids had a riot out with Jared, my dad, Jared's dad and cousins. And I had a "riot" passing out candy...Ok, so here is the deal. We moved down the street....it's a sleepy street. I had 10 door bell's and it equaled 62 kids...TOTAL. So lame! Honestly, I was disappointed. If it wasn't for our awesome neighbors across the street who were SCARING like crazy the kids it would have been a boring night, but they had quite the Halloween scares going on. I have never in my life heard any better screams than they were able to produce! Anyways, next year we may have to do some really cool candy for the few kids who came to our house! Happy Halloween!!!
