I cannot believe he is 5 months old already. I seriously remember walking into the hospital like it was yesterday. He is such a sweet boy and he is so so happy. He smiles at everything and is very rarely fussy. Even when he has a nasty cold that lasted 3 weeks, and had goopy eyes so bad it glued them shut, he was still all smiles. <br />
<br />
<br />
A little bit about Holden at 5 months:<br />

*This boy loves his feet lately. He is constantly grabbing them and trying to eat them. He grabs them when he is laying on the floor, when we are holding him, when he is in his carseat, and even when we are trying to change his diaper. It is so cute. I love when they start grabbing their toesies<br />

I am behind on my little Holdy bugs monthly posts so I am just going to do his 3 and 4 month posts together and before you know it he will be 5 months. Where has the time gone? He is growing up so fast which makes me really sad I wish time would slow down just a little bit, but at the same time it is so much fun to watch him grow and learn. I really feel like time is going by faster with Holden then with Maddux. Did any of you notice your second baby growing faster and the time going by faster the second time around or is it just me?<br />

Holden turned 3 months old on November 20th. During his 3rd month he celebrated mommy's birthday, and his first Halloween. He was our little buzz for Halloween and he looked so adorable. I love going through all the baby's first holidays and all of the milestones again. It is really fun to see how similar and how different Holden and Maddux are. <br />

*This little guy is a really good sleeper. He goes to bed at about 9pm, wakes up at midnight to eat and then sleeps from midnight to about 9 am. Then he has a morning nap and an after noon nap.<br />
*He still has the hiccups all the time poor little guy <br />

**Holden has a flat head on the back left side of his head</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at his 2 month appointment the doctor gave us some exercises</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to do with him so that he would turn his head more the other way and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
develop those muscles and he is also having us put a rolled up blanket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
under his left shoulder when he is laying down so that it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
props him to sleep on the other side of his head</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These things are already improving his head it for sure isn't perfect yet</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it is already helping so much so fast</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so hopefully he wont be needed a helmet. The doctor will check on it again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at his 4 month check to see </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love our little Holden so much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like just in his 2 months of life he has brought so much </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happiness and joy into this family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maddux is so amazing with him and just adores him</div>

We love you baby Holden and have been having so much fun watching </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you grow and enjoying all those sweet smiles we get everyday </div>

Happy 2 months </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have an amazing husband and 2 beautiful little boys and I couldn't be happier</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now I get to celebrate my birthday with my family, my husbands family and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I started off a fun birthday weekend with going to a Blogging event I was invited to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(blog post on that experience to come)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was an opening of the Tooele Downeast store and I got to bring a guest</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so of course I brought my little sister Em</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We each got a swag bag with some fun goodies inside along with a $25 gift card each to spend at Downeast </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fun to spend some time with my sister and shop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then she slept over and spent the rest of the weekend with us </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Little Holden Bug is one month old already</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as of Thursday September 20th</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seriously can't believe how fast this last month has gone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel like I was just at the hospital </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here he is growing like a weed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fbOgPsXVthM/UGICEt9_WzI/AAAAAAAAHgY/AAEwknWtCOY/s1600/DSCN7468.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fbOgPsXVthM/UGICEt9_WzI/AAAAAAAAHgY/AAEwknWtCOY/s400/DSCN7468.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He went to the Dr. at about 10 days old</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He weighed 8lbs and 14 oz and was 20.5 inches </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He also got circumcised that day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and took it like a champ, he didn't even cry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He cried a little when they pricked his heal and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
got his blood samples </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But he was also hungry by that point so I think that is why </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

he sounds like a little sad puppy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*He slept in our room for about two weeks, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but we moved him to a port-a-crib in another room </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and everyone is sleeping better that way he wont go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in his crib in Maddux's room until he is sleeping through the night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*He sneezes a lot</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
*He is awake more during the day, but still sleeps a lot</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
*We are already training him to soothe himself so he sometimes cries </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
himself to sleep, but it is usually only for 1-2 min and then he is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sound asleep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*He loves the movement of the TV and always turns his head toward it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The Story:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So it all started out on Monday morning </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was to be induced Monday but didn't know when I would be going in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They told me to call at 9:00 am I called and there was no room for me yet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I called at 11:00 and they still didn't have a room and were </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even going to maybe cancel my induction appointment for that day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but we didn't know either way</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It got a bit frustrating just waiting around and not knowing if we were </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
going to have him that day or not when we were planning on it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt really bad too because Julie (Ty's mom) took off work</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be able to watch Maddux and then we didn't even end up going in in the morning </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we decided to just keep waiting until we heard but I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had come to grips that it probably wasn't going to be happening that day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we sent Julie off to work and decided to take Maddux to the mall </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for lunch and to just hang out </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then right as we were about to get out of the car at the mall </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my phone rang at about 11:45 and they told us to come in</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh great we had sent our babysitter away and had plans </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
oh well so we called Ty's grandma and grandpa Kjar to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
come and watch Maddux while we went to the hospital</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We went back to Ty's parents house fed Maddux lunch while </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we waited for Ty's grandma and grandpa to get there </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then once they got there we headed over to the hospital </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
while Maddux laid down and took a nap with great grandma and grandpa </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
watching him </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt so guilty leaving him it was sooooooo hard I cried alot </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got to the hospital at about 12:30 checked in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and waited in the waiting area for about a 1/2 hour while they finished getting </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the room ready someone had just gotten out of it </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they said it was a really busy day and lots of baby's were being born </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got in the room at about 1:00 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got in my gown, peed in a cup and answered some medical questions </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
while they hooked me up to the IV and pitocin </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was such a weird experience to be induced this time </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I felt like I was going to a hotel or something walking in with no pain, my </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bag and my room being cleaned haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out before they gave me anything at 3cm and 75% effaced </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so they said I would probably be having a baby by dinner time :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dr. Kaelberer came in and broke my water at about 1:30</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the contractions started pretty fast and hard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was talking to my mom on the phone when my first one </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hit and man was it weird to not have them be gradual but just all of a sudden there </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started feeling them in my stomach and then he flipped so I had some back labor </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to hold off for a while for the epidural but decided I needed it at about 2:30</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I got the epidural Ty and I watched some Friday night lights on </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Netflix and just waited for me to progress</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I progressed so fast she by the time she checked me at about 4:30 I was at a ten and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
100% effaced The nurse said he was posterior so they would probably have to turn him</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(same thing happened with Maddux that is why I had back labor) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then we just waited about 15 minutes for my doctor to get there </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He got all ready and at about 5:00 I started to push</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily Holden wasn't posterior anymore he had flipped himself </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I pushed for 2 contractions and he was out </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was amazing I didn't even know I was done until they told me to look at him haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was born at 5:09 pm Monday August 20th, 2012</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He weighed in at 8 lbs and 2 oz and measured 19.5 inches long </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel super lucky that even being induced from the time I walked into my room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
until he was born was only about 4 hours and 10 minutes</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I move quick! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also didn't have any tearing and they said I was recovering great</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My doctor, Ty and the cute nurse Mindy were amazing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved my experience so much </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't even put into words how I felt when they first laid him </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on my chest It was amazing to realize </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I gave birth to another little baby boy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That I was a mother of two and that he was just so beautiful </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cried and just soaked it all in </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He looked just like Maddux did as a newborn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously they could be twins </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will be interesting to see if they look alike as he grows </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I was cleaned up a bit and decent </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom, dad and little sister Emily got to come in and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
see me Ty and sweet baby Holden </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so nice to have them there right away </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved it it really was so special and I can't even put into words how much it meant</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to see all of them hold him and go all gaga over him </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom also brought me and Ty a Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcake </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was teasing with her that all my visitors have to bring me one of those </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
amazing cupcakes and on their way to come see me they really</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
stopped there and got me some </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love my parents so much so cute </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I got up to the recovery room my family came up there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to visit some more and my little brothers were now able to see him and hold him </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then at around 7:00 pm Ty's mom and dad came and brought Maddux with them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to come and see us and meet his new little brother</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will never forget how Maddux entered the room</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I looked over and he walked in the room </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a vase of two yellow roses and said mommy with a huge smile on his face</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he ran up to me and gave me the flowers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I snagged him right up gave him a huge hug and smothered him with kisses</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ty took Holden out for Maddux to see and we just all bawled </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was such an incredible moment I could not control my emotions </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and how wonderful it is that Maddux gets to be a big brother </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and that I get to be a mom to two sweet sweet amazing little boys </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maddux was loving him all night and just kept saying Hi Holden </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hi Holden and giving him a bunch of kisses </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Holden also gave Maddux a gift which M thought was really cool</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He got him bullseye to go with his woody and buzz toys </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was so excited and whenever we ask were that toy is from he </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
says baby Holden...so cute</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is also going to be getting a pet fish from baby Holden </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait until he sees it He loves fish right now </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My family left around 8 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and Ty's parents and Maddux left around 8:30 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maddux slept over at Ty's parents for the night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so hard to see him go I missed him so much </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After they left I tried to breastfeed Holden for the first time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was quite the champ seriously he did so good </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ty also had to leave for about an hour </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to go set out his grandmas's pills, get a few things from home </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and get himself some dinner </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When he got back he ate we watched some TV and then </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
tried to feed Holden again so they could give him a bath</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had to wait a while before they came and gave him a bath so </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we decided we would snuggle and watch some Friday night lights </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we were so tired we kept falling asleep during it haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
exhausting day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They finally came and gave him a bath at about 1:30 in the morning </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After his bath we all tried to get some sleep </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got check up on a few times throughout the night </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and got a Rohgam shot and some blood drown during the night </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Holden was sleeping so good but decided I should try to feed him again around </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5:00 am well I felt bad waking up Ty so I tried to get him all changed and everything </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by myself which normally would not be a problem</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But he started pooping everywhere then when I was cleaning it up </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he would go more then he peed on himself, the shirt and blankets and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then he started choking on spit up so I woke up Ty to help me haha </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was crazy he fed again after we got him all cleaned up and we all slept until about 8 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ty went to go and get Maddux from his mom's house and I ate breakfast </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fed Holden and got checked </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ty and Maddux got back to the hospital at about 9:20</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we all hung out for a while, Maddux played, loved on Holden,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Held Holden, I got ready for the day and we spent the morning just us 4 as a family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then Maddux started to get very restless </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He did not have a good nights sleep last night and he was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bored being cooped up in the hospital room poor guy so </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ty and Maddux went home to eat lunch and to get Maddux a good nap </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a hard time being alone sometimes but especially right after I have a baby</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had post pardum depression after Maddux and I feel like I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
might have it again</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bawled and bawled and didn't want Ty to go but he had to get Maddux a nap </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cuz he was screaming </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I talked to my sister Traci and my sister Amanda to help cheer me up </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and so I didn't feel alone </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ty's grandma and Grandpa Kjar came to visit around noon so that </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
helped me a lot to not be alone </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they stayed to visit for a bit, hold and meet Holden, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
give a little present and went then it was time to feed him so </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that kept me busy for a little bit </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did start to get lonely but tried to blog, look at pictures, hold my sweet baby</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and keep my mind off of being alone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I was either in tears or on the verg of tears the whole time they were gone </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crazy hormones </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also talked to my mom for a while until Ty and Maddux came back</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As soon as Maddux woke up from his nap Ty and M came back to the hospital </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we all hung out together </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got dressed and M and I walked around the floor for a while</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I needed to get out of my room so it was nice to walk around a bit </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grandma and Grandpa Kjar came back to visit to see Ty and Maddux </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to give maddux a little gift too </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Grandma, Maddux and I went down to the cafeteria to get Maddux some dinner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we all ate while we visited</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After dinner they left and then </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dave (Ty's dad) came to hang out </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and when he left Ty took Maddux to his parents house to lay him down </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then Julie (Ty's mom) came to visit with me while Ty was gone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She snuggled Holden while I got ready for bed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Ty got back we both snuggled in the hospital bed and watched some </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friday night lights and went to bed </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I fed Holden we had them take him to the nursery so we could get a </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
good nights rest </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they brought him back after his bilirubin test at about 4:30 am</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I fed him and we all went back to sleep </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ty had to go to his first day of school at 7:30 am on Wednesday </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I woke up around 8 hung out with Holden </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
went to a breastfeeding class, showered, got ready, got Holden dressed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
talked to my mom and just waited for Ty </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He got done with school at noon </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and came and picked us up and we were able to be discharged by 1:00</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We then went over to Ty's parents to pick up Maddux to go home</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our cute sister in law Jessica watched Maddux that morning for us so he didn't</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have to hang out at the hospital </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you Jess you are a life saver </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After hanging out there for a while we all came home as a new family of four</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maddux wanted to show Holden our house so we took him on a little tour</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so nice to be home finally after laying Maddux down for a nap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Holden was asleep so we all took a nap until dinner</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ty's parents came over and brought us Lion House turkey dinner </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and some presents </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so fun to visit and the dinner was so delicious</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After dinner we all ran to Walmart to pick up my prescription</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to get out for a bit </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we watched some STYTCD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Thursday Ty had school from 7:30 until 5:00 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I was of course a little nervous but mostly just feeling lonely</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the day ended up being really good</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The morning was great I had really good Holden and Maddux time </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then my mom and brother and sister came to visit us for a while </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and brought me some lunch</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so nice to have my mom there </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there is just something about moms that just make everything better you know </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far Holden has had really good nights except one night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and we think it was because I had a coke slurpee</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and he didn't like the caffeine because ever since then he has had good </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
night again </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have been really well taken care of and have had some fun visitors</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my Visiting teacher and friend Tara brought us dinner on Friday </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and some adorable clothes for Holden, Also on Friday Grandma </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and Grandpa Kjar stopped by to visit, Friday night we went to a baseball game</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so the Rogers were able to see Holden then </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And Yes Holden stayed asleep through the whole thing even through all </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the loud cheers </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maddux was in heaven at the baseball game and the fireworks at the end </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were his very favorite </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Saturday my other visiting teacher, Erin, brought us dinner and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Holden has been such a blessing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and Maddux adores him</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing Maddux asks when he wakes up from naps or in the morning </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is "Where is Holden"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He loves to kiss him, hold him and tickle his toes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is the best big brother our little Holden could ask for </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now Holden is 6 days old I can hardly believe it </div>

On Thursday <span style="font-size: large;"><b>June 28th</b></span> we got the opportunity to go to a fun Brand New </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>trampoline Gym </b></span>down in Orem called <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Get Air Hang Time</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom and dad's neighbor and friend Aaron Cobabe is the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
general manager and wanted my mom to get some bloggers </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
together to come and <span style="font-size: large;"><b>enjoy</b></span> the park, have some <span style="font-size: large;"><b>food </b><span style="font-size: small;">a</span></span>nd blog about it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I will be blogging about more of the details over at my blog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tyandwhitneyulrich.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>A mommy's life...with a touch of Yellow </b></span></a>coming up next week</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There will also be a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>giveaway</b></span> for some free passes so<br />

<br />
But for here on the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>family blog</b></span> I just want to show<br />
you guys how much fun we had</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and document it for our family journal </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me start off by saying we had an absolute <span style="font-size: large;"><b>blast</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will for sure have to come back when I can actually jump</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a few things but my bladder does not allow me to jump on a tramp </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
very long right now being <span style="font-size: large;"><b>32 weeks prego</b></span> and all </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did one flip and felt like I was going to <span style="font-size: large;"><b>pee my pants</b></span> haha</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so for the rest of the time I just played with <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Maddux</b></span> jumping lightly </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and watching my <span style="font-size: large;"><b>cute hubby</b></span> do some tricks </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so excited to go back and can't wait </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

On Wednesday<span style="font-size: large;"><b> June 20th</b></span> Ty was able to take off work </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so he could come to my <span style="font-size: large;"><b>doctors appointment </b></span>and play a little </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We started off the morning by all going to the doctors appointment </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ty was so excited to be able to here baby Holden's <span style="font-size: large;"><b>heart beat </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and come with me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everything looked<span style="font-size: large;"><b> great </b></span>and I am measuring right on time </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While Maddux was taking a nap Ty and I did some painting together</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and had lunch as soon as M woke up we packed up and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
headed to the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hogle zoo</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We stayed there for a couple hours and it was perfect</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also bought our <span style="font-size: large;"><b>year zoo pass </b></span>so we will be coming back a lot </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
throughout the summer and into next year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If any of you friends and family out there have zoo passes<span style="font-size: large;"><b> lets go!!!!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't take a ton of pictures just because we were having so much <span style="font-size: large;"><b>fun </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but here are some I did take </div>

Maddux LOVES the animals and he can<span style="font-size: large;"><b> name</b></span> most of them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He really likes the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rhinos</b></span> I think it is because they look like a<span style="font-size: large;"><b> dinosaur </b></span></div>

Ty taught Maddux that a sealion says <span style="font-size: large;"><b>ARARAR </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so M kept saying it over and over</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the first time we have been to the zoo this year so </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was the first time we were able to see the whole<span style="font-size: large;"><b> new addition </b></span>they just put on it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the polar bears, black bears, sea lions, and otters </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is incredible it all looks so <span style="font-size: large;"><b>pretty </b></span>and the new animals are<span style="font-size: large;"><b> amazing</b></span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
especially the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>gorillas </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
we got an <span style="font-size: large;"><b>ice cream</b></span> and then went to the little <span style="font-size: large;"><b>play ground</b></span> to </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Kati</b> took some fun <b>maternity/family pictures </b>of us on June 15th</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was really <b>nervous</b> because I am far from a model </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and don't feel very pretty this pregnancy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But Kati made me feel so <b>comfortable</b> and although I wish I</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was more photogenic it was a lot of <b>fun </b>and she did such a great job<br />
not to mention the <b>location </b>she picked turned out beautiful </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have known Kati since <b>High school</b> and she has such a <b>talent </b>for photography</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can check out her site<a href="http://katiannphotography.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> <b>HERE </b></a>make sure to look her up </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot wait to meet this sweet little <b>Holden</b> that I have been growing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for seven months </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I would be lying if I said I wasn't <b>nervous </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am nervous for the<b> change</b> <b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am nervous to have two kids</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am nervous about <b>splitting attention</b> between my two boys</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am nervous Maddux will feel <b>left out</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am nervous to have a newborn again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am nervous I am<b> not </b>as good of a mom my boys <b>deserve</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But even though I am nervous my<b> excitement </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>outweighs</b> that nervousness</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to hold a sweet newborn in my arms again</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to see Maddux and Holden <b>meet </b>for the first time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited for the <b>newborn smell</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to bond with a new little one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to see Maddux and Holden <b>grow up together</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited for Maddux to<b> teach</b> Holden </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited to be a<b> mom</b> of two boys </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I love you Ty and I love our Maddux and the new little Holden</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>we will be meeting in just two short months </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will gladly take any<b> advice </b>on having <b>two kids</b> versus one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
such as how to help the first child transition into the change of a new baby</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And any other <b>tips and tricks </b>you mommys out there have for me :)</div>Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13814568582880389168noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728509929658582635.post-28710997114081185362012-05-01T20:12:00.001-06:002012-05-01T20:12:50.917-06:00Maddux is 2!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Isn't he such a<b> stud </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Saturday <b>April 28th </b>was his birthday and it was such a fun day</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(stay tuned for a Birthday party post coming soon)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was so <b>spoiled</b> from all of our amazing friends and family</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He has so many people that <b>love</b> and <b>adore</b> him</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And my only concern that day was to make him feel so <b>special</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do this everyday but I wanted him to know it was <b>his birthday</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and that everyone was there to show their love for<b> him</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted him to know how<b> amazing</b> and <b>sweet </b>he really is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a fun filled day and everyone was gone</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was back to just me, hubby and sweet Maddux </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>PERFECT moment </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
M was in his toy story PJs, holding his new toy story toys,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
watching toy story and <b>snuggling</b> with all of us</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wasn't really watching the movie I was just staring at my little man</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I watched <b>every </b>facial expression, I enjoyed every <b>hand squeezing</b>, And gave him so </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
many <b>kisses</b> he was probably getting aggravated with me haha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and thinking to myself how <b>blessed</b> I felt </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so <b>grateful</b> to be a mom <b>his mom </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a bit of a <b>crying session </b>to hubby just about how </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
grateful I was for Maddux and how <b>fast</b> he is growing up</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so <b>emotional</b> and <b>sentimental </b>lately </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
especially being <b>pregnant</b> haha don't judge </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I cannot believe my little man is<b> two</b> years old!<br />
Last Saturday was his <b>birthday</b> and also when he had his<br />
Little Friend/family Birthday <b>Party</b><br />
It was <b>Disney theme</b><br />
<br />
I really wanted his invites to be <b>fun</b> and cute<br />
But I do not have photoshop to make my own<br />
So my cute friend Jamie told me about her<br />
Friend Devyn that does <b>invites and announcements</b> at an amazing price<br />
and is super talented!<br />
I was way excited and contacted her right<b> away</b><br />
She got back to me that day I gave her my ideas<br />
a picture the party info and look at the amazingly cute invite she created!</div>

Ok, back to Saturday I was a <b>little sad</b> because I didn't get to see my little man </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
right when he woke up </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I had a test at 7:30am and didn't get home until 10:30</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I did<b> call </b>him on my way home to tell him Happy Birthday</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and once I got home I gave him <b>huge hugs </b>and kisses and told him </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Happy Birthday</b> about a million times </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once I got home it was a <b>mad dash</b> to get everything ready for the party</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily my <b>cute hubby</b> made cupcakes while I was in my test </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and My mother in Law, Julie made this amazing <b>Mickey Cake</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so all I had to do was do some quick decor and clean up a bit </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<b>The </b><b>birthday </b><b>banner</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually made this for his birthday party last year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out the tutorial <b><a href="http://tyandwhitneyulrich.blogspot.com/2011/05/1st-birthday-banner-tutorial.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Maddux was so excited once everyone got there</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had our <b>family</b> there </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he was even able to invite a few of his <b>little friends </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so cute to see all the <b>little ones </b>running around together </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once everyone was there we started with <b>present time</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maddux had so much fun opening his presents this year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He would get all excited and once it was open he would <b>gasp </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was so <b>cute</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He did want everything open out of their <b>packages </b>right away though</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we had to move onto the next present quick</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was confused why he couldn't play with the present right then</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Silly boy</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I opened them all for him after he got through them all </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Yep that's right we <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><b>LOVE</b></span> this little face so so so much we decided it was time</div><div style="text-align: center;">to add another <span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><b>little one</b></span> to the family </div><div style="text-align: center;">Our sweet little peanut will be joining our family making us a new </div><div style="text-align: center;">family of <span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b>four</b></span> August 27th and we could not be more <span style="font-size: large;"><b>excited!!!!</b></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lets start from the beginning shall we </div><div style="text-align: center;">It all started back in December of 2011 </div><div style="text-align: center;">I had been feeling<b style="color: orange;"><span style="font-size: large;"> sick</span></b> but just thought it might have been the flu</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had only had my IUD out for a month so I didn't think I</div><div style="text-align: center;">could possibly be pregnant right away (even though I was hoping of course)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then Ty asked if I thought I was <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>pregnant</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I was like no I think I am just sick </div><div style="text-align: center;">but after he asked I couldn't get it out of my <span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><b>brain</b></span><br />

Finally about a week later on Wednesday <b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">Dec 21s</span><span style="color: red;">t </span></span></b>I had to run to </div><div style="text-align: center;">the store for something and decided oh why not I'll get a pregnancy test while</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am here. On the way home I came up with a <span style="color: #c27ba0; font-size: large;"><b>fun plan</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since it was so close to Christmas if it turns out I am pregnant I </div><div style="text-align: center;">will try to keep it a <span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><b>secret</b></span> even from Ty (I know crazy)</div><div style="text-align: center;">until Christmas and then I will tell just him in a fun way.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I hid the pregnancy test in my purse told Ty I had to go to the bathroom</div><div style="text-align: center;">Locked the door took the test and waited all by myself it was<span style="font-size: large;"><b> so hard </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I finally got the courage to look at the test and it was a plain and simple</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>PREGNANT</b></span> in the digital window</div><div style="text-align: center;">I found out pretty much right when I could find out at 4 weeks pregnant</div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't find out with Maddux until we were 6 weeks </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>HUGE</b></span> smile on my face, did a little squeal and a dance </div><div style="text-align: center;">Then I took another one (it came in a two pack) just to make sure.</div><div style="text-align: center;">After a few<b style="color: purple;"><span style="font-size: large;"> tears </span></b>I had to compose myself to be able to go out </div><div style="text-align: center;">to my hubby and little Maddux and not show a sign that I did or knew anything</div><div style="text-align: center;">I did it, I don't know how cuz normally I am <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><b>no good </b></span>at surprises </div><div style="text-align: center;">but I pulled it off I kept it from Ty until Christmas Even night</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then came<b style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Christmas Eve</span></b> we had all the festivities and fun </div><div style="text-align: center;">at the Ulrich house as the night died down and everyone was going to bed</div><div style="text-align: center;">I snuck in the bathroom took another pregnancy test </div><div style="text-align: center;">Waited until it said pregnant in the little window </div><div style="text-align: center;">and <b style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;">wrapped</span></b> it up then once everyone was asleep and it was just me and Ty </div><div style="text-align: center;">I told him I had a special present from him that I wanted </div><div style="text-align: center;">him to open tonight with just the two of us there. </div><div style="text-align: center;">He opened it and the look on his face and his reaction were <span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: large;"><b>adorable</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">seriously it was the cutest thing ever </div><div style="text-align: center;">and I was so happy I finally pulled off a surprise </div><div style="text-align: center;">we have been married four years and I have tried to surprise him so many times</div><div style="text-align: center;">in those four years and this is the first one I was able to pull off</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was the <span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><b>perfect</b></span> Christmas gift </div><div style="text-align: center;">to find out you are having another <b><span style="font-size: large;">BABY</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Let me be honest here for a minutes</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am a bit of a <b style="color: #e69138;"><span style="font-size: large;">crazy</span></b> lady (as my hubby likes to call me haha)</div><div style="text-align: center;">and have been wanting a baby for a while </div><div style="text-align: center;">like since Maddux was 6 months I have been thinking of getting </div><div style="text-align: center;">pregnant again I know crazy but I had an iud and I decided </div><div style="text-align: center;">we would get it out when we decided <span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><b>together</b></span> it was time</div><div style="text-align: center;">and I guess November was the time because we got pregnant right away</div><div style="text-align: center;">and even though Maddux and the peanut will not be as close </div><div style="text-align: center;">as my crazy plan they are going to be the <span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>perfect </b></span>years apart</div><div style="text-align: center;">They will be 2 years and 4 months apart</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now back to the story </div><div style="text-align: center;"> On December 28th I had some spotting of course it freaked me out</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I am RH- so I went to the doctor everything looked good </div><div style="text-align: center;">I just needed my <span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><b>Rhogam shot </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">January brought morning <b><span style="font-size: large;">sickness</span></b>....I mean all all day sickness</div><div style="text-align: center;">and it was actually worse at night more than anything</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was already going to be a harder pregnancy than Maddux's was I could tell</div><div style="text-align: center;">I was so lucky with Maddux and had the easiest pregnancy ever not </div><div style="text-align: center;">getting sick hardly at all. </div><div style="text-align: center;">January also brought starting <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>student teaching</b></span> while in the hardest </div><div style="text-align: center;">trimester of pregnancy. I was so nervous and just had to </div><div style="text-align: center;">make sure I was always eating to be able to get through the day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">By the end of January I was feeling <span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><b>better</b></span> I was so excited</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yeah that only lasted about 2 weeks and then I was back to have night sickness</div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel better in the morning as long as I eat something </div><div style="text-align: center;">and at lunch I feel like I can clean out a buffet</div><div style="text-align: center;">but by the time dinner comes along I have to be careful about what </div><div style="text-align: center;">I eat and how much I eat of it or I get sick</div><div style="text-align: center;">Also fried food and Mexican food make me feel <b><span style="font-size: large;">sick </span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;">and I have to be careful when we eat out</div><div style="text-align: center;">not fun but it is all part of pregnancy and <span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: large;"><b>every</b></span> pregnancy is different </div><div style="text-align: center;">and this one I am definitely more sick </div><div style="text-align: center;">I am taking <span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>Zofran</b></span> now for the nausea so that is nice</div><div style="text-align: center;">it really helps a lot </div><div style="text-align: center;">I also get headaches almost everyday so I take tylenol everyday </div><div style="text-align: center;">oh the joys </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had a few scares and got an <b><span style="font-size: large;">ultrasound</span></b> at 7 weeks (around Jan 8th)</div><div style="text-align: center;">because I had some bleeding </div><div style="text-align: center;">It ended up being rectal bleeding from a hemorrhoid and all was good </div><div style="text-align: center;">Then I had another ultrasound at 9 weeks due to some spotting but</div><div style="text-align: center;">again it was all good they don't know where the spotting was from</div><div style="text-align: center;">At first the doctor could not hear the heart beat so he got the ultrasound machine out </div><div style="text-align: center;">(just a small one in his own office) and he couldn't find anything </div><div style="text-align: center;">he said that he wanted me to go to radiology and get checked out </div><div style="text-align: center;">I had to go back to the waiting room and wait all by myself</div><div style="text-align: center;">(Ty was at school) I was <span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><b>terrified</b></span> and made up my mind that I had lost the baby</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was the scariest time in my life</div><div style="text-align: center;">I ended up getting the ultrasound and she not only found the baby</div><div style="text-align: center;">but also a very <span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><b>healthy heartbeat</b></span> I got to see the tiny heart beat and hear it and it was amazing</div><div style="text-align: center;"> they said everything looked good </div><div style="text-align: center;">I was so relieved and started bauling the poor radiology lady haha<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">We weren't going to tell anybody about this pregnancy until we knew what we</div><div style="text-align: center;">were having just for <span style="color: lime; font-size: large;"><b>fun!</b></span> The problem was I was way more sick this time</div><div style="text-align: center;">and it was getting <span style="font-size: large;"><b>hard</b></span> to hide I was also getting bigger faster which is also </div><div style="text-align: center;">hard to hide so we told our parents and siblings at about <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>8 weeks</b></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Then some people here and there started guessing around 13 weeks </div><div style="text-align: center;">and my students started guessing around 12-13 weeks</div><div style="text-align: center;">But we didn't announce it to facebook and all our friends until </div><div style="text-align: center;">April 1st when we were <span style="color: cyan; font-size: large;"><b>19 weeks</b></span> and knew the gender :) </div><div style="text-align: center;">How fun people were so surprised and thought we were just teasing</div><div style="text-align: center;">since it was April fools day.<br />

His face<br />
It is kind of a crazy view of his face<br />
He did not want to turn for a profile<br />
which made me kinda sad (hopefully we will<br />
get a pic of his profile in a later ultrasound)<br />
but he did want us to see his face right on<br />
You can see all his facial bones and eye sockets<br />
it was so cool in the video he was moving his mouth <br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ty was holding my hand the whole time and Maddux <span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;"><b>held my hand</b></span> a </div><div style="text-align: center;">few times too it was an amazing moment </div><div style="text-align: center;">I love the ultrasounds </div><div style="text-align: center;">I can already feel the<span style="font-size: large;"><b> spirit </b></span>of this baby <span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: large;"><b>BOY</b></span> and it is amazing </div><br />

<span style="font-size: 130%;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I want to share with you a Christmas Tradition in my family!<br />
My mom's family, Bargar, is from <span style="font-size: large;"><b>German</b></span> ancestry<br />
and this fun <span style="font-size: large;"><b>tradition </b></span>that I am sharing today goes back to her roots in Germany<br />
It is the Tradition of the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>German Pickle </b></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MAE4GsQ3s1g/TuKQJ1xxqFI/AAAAAAAAFJU/OjAacyiwN2A/s1600/DSCN5835b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MAE4GsQ3s1g/TuKQJ1xxqFI/AAAAAAAAFJU/OjAacyiwN2A/s400/DSCN5835b.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Let me give you a little<span style="font-size: large;"><b> background</b></span> about it first:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;"><big><big></big></big></span><br />
<span style="color: lime;"><big><big><b></b></big></big></span> John Lower, a German man, was born in Bavaria in 1842.<br />
He <span style="font-size: large;"><b>left </b></span>Germany with his family and emigrated to the United States<br />
While fighting in the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>American Civil War</b></span>,<br />
John Lower was captured and sent to a prison in Andersonville, Georgia<br />
He soon fell to poor health given the<span style="font-size: large;"> <b>poor</b> </span>conditions of the prison<br />
Starving, he begged of a guard for just one pickle before resigning to his death<br />
The guard, taking pity on him, found and gave John Lower a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>pickle</b></span><br />
Lower family lore yields John's testimony that the pickle, by the grace of God,<br />
gave him the mental and physical<span style="font-size: large;"><b> s</b><b>trength</b></span> to live on<br />
After being reunited with his family he began the tradition of <span style="font-size: large;"><b>hiding</b></span> a pickle on the Christmas tree<br />
Hence, the first person who found the pickle on Christmas morning would be <span style="font-size: large;"><b>blessed </b></span>with a year of good fortune... and a special <span style="font-size: large;"><b>gift</b></span>, just as John Lower had experienced!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">According to German tradition, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">the pickle brings <span style="font-size: large;"><b>good luck</b></span> and was the last ornament placed on the Christmas tree</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> On Christmas morning the first child to find the pickle was rewarded </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">with an <span style="font-size: large;"><b>extra</b></span> little gift left by St. Nicholas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This German tradition encouraged the children to <span style="font-size: large;"><b>appreciate</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> all the ornaments on the Christmas tree, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">rather than hurrying to see what St. Nick had left for them</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So For <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Our Family</b></span> the tradition goes a little like this:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The<span style="font-size: large;"><b> pickle</b></span> is placed on the tree just like any other ornament </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the same day, normally <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dec1st</b></span>, that we decorate the tree</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then on <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Christmas Eve</b></span>, after we all went to bed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom and Dad hide the pickle ornament <span style="font-size: large;"><b>deep </b></span>within the trees branches </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N3zWCFzPAXU/TuKQXHa0LUI/AAAAAAAAFJc/Pw-2GhRF08c/s1600/CIMG2557.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="367" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N3zWCFzPAXU/TuKQXHa0LUI/AAAAAAAAFJc/Pw-2GhRF08c/s400/CIMG2557.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then on <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Christmas Morning</b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids get to try to <span style="font-size: large;"><b>find</b></span> the pickle ornament </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the tree when mom and dad say <span style="font-size: large;"><b>go</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is like a little <b><span style="font-size: large;">hunt</span></b> and a race to see who finds the pickle first</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is <span style="font-size: large;"><b>not </b></span>as easy as it sounds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since the pickle and the tree are both green it actually takes a while</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we get kinda vicious and <span style="font-size: large;"><b>competitive </b></span>about it especially when we got older </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1E7ljmBVY8/TuKQemXBgsI/AAAAAAAAFJk/9R5wNhiPeSo/s1600/DSCN5837.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Y1E7ljmBVY8/TuKQemXBgsI/AAAAAAAAFJk/9R5wNhiPeSo/s400/DSCN5837.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The child who finds the Pickle <span style="font-size: large;"><b>first</b></span> and gets it out of the tree</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wins an extra present and in our family that is a<span style="font-size: large;"><b> nutcracker</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom has a whole collection of nut crackers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and each year my mom gets new one </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the winner who gets to keep it and take it with them in <span style="font-size: large;"><b>adulthood</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The nutcrackers in the picture above are mine<br />
They are the ones I had <span style="font-size: large;"><b>won</b></span> and now use as Christmas Decor<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Back in the day we used to just use a<span style="font-size: large;"><b> real </b></span>dried out pickle to hide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then we were able to find the glass ornament and have used that ever since</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My cute friend <b><span style="font-size: large;">Ashley</span></b> knew about this tradition that we did</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and thought it was so funny</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyway when Ty and I got married for our<span style="font-size: large;"><b> wedding present </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she gave us a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>pickle ornament </b></span>of our own </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so that we could continue on the tradition in our <span style="font-size: large;"><b>own</b></span> little family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Ashley It really did mean a lot even though it is kinda funny</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are really excited to start this tradition with our<span style="font-size: large;"><b> little man</b></span><br />
<br />

I have been posting on<span style="font-size: large;"><b> facebook</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
something that I am<span style="font-size: large;"><b> thankful</b></span> for each day </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the month of November</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the idea </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and wanted to take it one step<span style="font-size: large;"><b> further</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and display what we are thankful for in our <span style="font-size: large;"><b>home</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was post linked up to my party a couple weeks ago</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From <a href="http://www.junkinthetrunktrio.com/2011/10/thankful-tree.html" target="_blank">Junk in the Trunk</a><br />
she had a<span style="font-size: large;"><b> cute </b></span>idea to do a thankful Tree</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved it and knew that is what I wanted to do </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it was meant to be </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I already had a vase of sticks ready </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as <span style="font-size: large;"><b>fall decor</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What you will need:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-A vase</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-Sticks/branches (I got mine from the back yard they were</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all ones that had fallen off trees and stuff)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-paper<br />
-leaf pattern (from cutting machine or online) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-A sharpie </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What I did:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- I got all different sized <span style="font-size: large;"><b>branches </b></span><br />
and arranged them in a vase<br />
-Then I got on my silhouette and found some<span style="font-size: large;"><b> leaf</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>shapes</b></span> I wanted and the machine cut them for me<br />
on all different types of <span style="font-size: large;"><b>fall paper</b></span> I had lying around<br />
-You could also just find some leaf images online<br />
and trace and cut them out you <span style="font-size: large;"><b>don't </b></span>have to have a cutting machine to do this<br />
-It is fun to get <span style="font-size: large;"><b>patterned</b></span> and solid papers in fun colors to make it really pop<br />
and show all the fall leaf colors<br />
-Next i punches a tiny <span style="font-size: large;"><b>hole</b></span> with a needle,<br />
put some <span style="font-size: large;">thread</span> through it and tied it to give it a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>loop</b></span> to hang on the branches<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
the big day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HALLOWEEN is one of my very <span style="font-size: large;"><b>favorite</b></span> holidays</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and now that we have Maddux it is even more fun</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Friday- Pumpkin Fun</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember the pumpkins we got to pick from the vine</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The <span style="font-size: large;"><b>first house</b></span> he went trick or treating at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is our<span style="font-size: large;"><b> cute</b></span> neighbor</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and her and her daughter were all <span style="font-size: large;"><b>gaga over him</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He wanted to hold his bucket all by <span style="font-size: large;"><b>himself</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and even said trick or treat with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a lot of coaxing from us</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He said it all day long but would get<span style="font-size: large;"><b> shy </b></span>at the doors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think he thought it was pretty cool</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
knocking on doors and getting <span style="font-size: large;"><b>candy </b></span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was M's <span style="font-size: large;"><b>second</b></span> Halloween</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the first that he could walk and hold his bucket</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and go trick or treating </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so much <span style="font-size: large;"><b>fun</b></span> watching his</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
experience it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will remember it <span style="font-size: large;"><b>forever</b></span><br />
<br />
After trick or treating in the neighborhood<br />
we headed over to Ty's parents<br />
for <span style="font-size: large;"><b>dinner</b></span> and to hang out<br />
We had some yummy <span style="font-size: large;"><b>soup</b></span>, chili and corn bread<br />
M was so funny he wanted a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>banana</b></span> and had a whole bucket<br />
of candy next to him. That's my boy!<br />
Such a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>proud</b></span> mama! <br />
<br />
Then we went and saw a few other family members<br />
and a friend of Ty's<br />
and then headed home<br />
M was for sure <span style="font-size: large;"><b>tired</b></span> after that long night<br />
but I think he had a lot of<span style="font-size: large;"><b> fun</b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fun to talk to everyone that stopped to look</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they were very <span style="font-size: large;"><b>impressed</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh and the next morning this is what we woke up to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Punk kids</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
smashed pumpkins all over the drive away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
oh and you can't tell in this picture but <span style="font-size: large;"><b>pumpkin seed </b></span>were everywhere</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yeah these were whole pumpkins not gutted ones </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so they were way messy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rude </b></span>huh?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These <span style="font-size: large;"><b>weren't </b></span>even our pumpkins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our pumpkins were still at the in-laws</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So they brought pumpkins from somewhere else and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
smashed them in front of an <span style="font-size: large;"><b>elderly ladies</b></span> (Ty's grandma) house</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
good thing we live in her basement apartment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so we could <span style="font-size: large;"><b>clean </b></span>it up for her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But overall we had such a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>fun</b></span> weekend!</div>Whithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13814568582880389168noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728509929658582635.post-40503559449763974692012-01-02T19:46:00.000-07:002012-07-06T13:54:11.043-06:00Black Island Farms<div style="text-align: center;">
There is just something about fall I just <span style="font-size: large;"><b>LOVE</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the<span style="font-size: large;"><b> Crisp Fall weather</b></span>, Halloween (espcially now that I have Maddux),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My birthday, <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pumpkins</b></span>, Farms </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and of course the fact that it is the start of the<span style="font-size: large;"><b> holidays</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and to me the holidays means <span style="font-size: large;"><b>FAMILY</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the family time and all the family <span style="font-size: large;"><b>activities</b></span> this time of year brings</div>

He calls them <span style="font-size: large;"><b>ball </b></span>but he is trying to say pumpkin now</div>

Finally on the Hayride</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maddux <span style="font-size: large;"><b>LOVED</b></span> it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was pretty fun I have to admit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Times like this bring out the<span style="font-size: large;"><b> inner kid</b></span> in me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this stuff </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and now that I have little M</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have an excuse to do all this fun stuff</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was not your <span style="font-size: large;"><b>typical farmer</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was the modern day farmer haha </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had<span style="font-size: large;"><b> gauged ears</b></span> and a <span style="font-size: small;">flat brimmed hat </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and talked like a <span style="font-size: large;"><b>gnarly dude</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But he was cool and you could tell he <span style="font-size: large;"><b>LOVED</b></span> the farm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are going to be adding on to a highway here in Utah called <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Legacy high way</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and they are going to be going straight through this farm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Sad huh?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so he was telling us all about that and that they have been here for <span style="font-size: large;"><b>50 years</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and telling us to vote against it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would be sad if we couldn't go to the pumpkin patch anymore </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope they go around it or something</div>

It was just his size </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he<b> <span style="font-size: large;">LOVES</span></b> it</div>

Did you know <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cows</b></span> love pumpkin?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me either but our farmer dude opened some up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and threw them over the fence</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and all the cows ran over to get some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was pretty <span style="font-size: large;"><b>cool</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and Maddux loves to<span style="font-size: large;"><b> moo</b></span> so he was in heaven watching them</div>

Wednesday August 17th to Saturday August 20th </div><div style="text-align: center;">we were so excited and hoped right on that opportunity</div><div style="text-align: center;">We stayed in the Ulrich family friend's condo</div><div style="text-align: center;">and it was beautiful</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you Bruce and Jody</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We went up on Wednesday that week after Ty got home from scouts</div><div style="text-align: center;">we had everything packed earlier and ate before so when he got home</div><div style="text-align: center;">we just packed ourselves and maddux in the car and made our quick drive to Midway</div><div style="text-align: center;">since we got there kinda late that first night we just got </div><div style="text-align: center;">our car all unpacked found the rooms us and Maddux were staying in</div><div style="text-align: center;">and laid Maddux down</div><div style="text-align: center;">Once Maddux was asleep we just relaxed, talked and played rook and golf with </div><div style="text-align: center;">Dave and Julie </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On Thursday we woke up had breakfast, made our lunches and packed</div><div style="text-align: center;">snacks and drinks, got in our swim suits, packed up the boat </div><div style="text-align: center;">and headed to Jordanelle Lake </div><div style="text-align: center;">We spent the whole day out on the lake </div><div style="text-align: center;">We drove around for a while</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then Ty got in for a while and then once I finally got brave enough to </div><div style="text-align: center;">get in the freezing water I got in and got on the wake board</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had just tried wake boarding for the first time just the last time we went boating this year</div><div style="text-align: center;">and LOVED it so I wanted to give it another try and improve </div><div style="text-align: center;">It was so fun, even when I was dead tired I wanted to keep going</div><div style="text-align: center;">I started going out of the wake but had a hard time getting back in</div><div style="text-align: center;">then after a few times I was able to go out and in on the left side but </div><div style="text-align: center;">the right side was still a struggle </div><div style="text-align: center;">We took a small break and had some lunch </div><div style="text-align: center;">and relaxed for a bit then we went on a ride to get Maddux to take a nap</div><div style="text-align: center;">and it totally worked </div><div style="text-align: center;">After lunch we went out some more and Dave even went out for a while</div><div style="text-align: center;">We did a little tubing </div><div style="text-align: center;">which I was terrified of but ended up really liking </div><div style="text-align: center;">and then headed back to the condo at four </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We got back to the condo, </div><div style="text-align: center;">went swimming at the indoor community pool, showered</div><div style="text-align: center;">and then I made pizza spaghetti for us for dinner that night</div><div style="text-align: center;">it was so yummy</div><div style="text-align: center;">After dinner we headed into Heber and went to Walmart</div><div style="text-align: center;">and then to get a Shake at the Dairy Keen</div><div style="text-align: center;">got back laid Maddux down </div><div style="text-align: center;">Then Ty's aunt Deanne and Uncle Scott came up that night </div><div style="text-align: center;">to be able to spend tomorrow at the lake with us</div><div style="text-align: center;">the rest of the night we played games and chatted until it was time for bed </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh and I got FRIED that day </div><div style="text-align: center;">I know it was my fault but man it hurt </div><div style="text-align: center;">I had Ty put a lot of Aloe on me </div><div style="text-align: center;">Thank you Julie for packing some :)</div><div style="text-align: center;">It did make for at least a little tan later though </div><div style="text-align: center;">We were having so much fun up there I forgot to take pictures until the last day</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">On Friday Julie had to go up to work for a little while so we went to the lake</div><div style="text-align: center;">with Dave and Scott and Deanne </div><div style="text-align: center;">we did about the same thing as we did the day before</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wake boarded, skied, Scott skied, we did some swimming</div><div style="text-align: center;">ate some lunch and went for a few boat rides </div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">we got back to the condo, gave maddux a bath laid him down for the night</div><div style="text-align: center;">we all took showers </div><div style="text-align: center;">and then spent the rest of the night watching TV, eating a dessert I made, </div><div style="text-align: center;">playing games and chatting. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The next day we just got ready for the day, cleaned the condo</div><div style="text-align: center;">and then did a little shopping at the Park City Outlets </div><div style="text-align: center;">Then we headed over to Dave and Julies for some hamburgers for dinner</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> It was a Mason Jar Picnic</div><div style="text-align: center;">I got the idea from the cupcakes in a jar and decided</div><div style="text-align: center;">to make a whole meal in them</div><div style="text-align: center;">The yellow jars where mine</div><div style="text-align: center;">the Blue ones Ty's</div><div style="text-align: center;">and the red ones and the apple sauce were Maddux's </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Our main course was Beanie Weenies </div><div style="text-align: center;">I made sure they were all warmed up before we left</div><div style="text-align: center;">then put them in our own individual jars</div><div style="text-align: center;">and added a spoon</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> Then there was a salad with dressing </div><div style="text-align: center;">I had Italian and Ty had Asian </div><div style="text-align: center;">and I added a fork to it</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> And to share between the three of us I cut up some cantaloupe</div><div style="text-align: center;">and put it in two jars</div><div style="text-align: center;">with a fork of course </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
