my sisters and mom threw me an awesome shower cause i had no girl stuff! it was tons of fun... lacey and hayden even came up from st. george!! the only ones missing were my grandmas :(

well she is finally here, and she is beautiful.... we went in to the hospital june 28th at 7:30am and they started me on antibiotics and picotin... for some reason i wouldnt dilate more than a four and i had been on the picotin for eight hours... yuck yuck i started to cry when the nurse told me the only thing we could do was c-section or start the picotin over... i just wanted to be done... so we decided to unplug the drugs for fourty five minutes and start all over and see if that would help... i still wasnt moving along and april came up to the hospital to see what was going on i was sooooo bored and hadnt ate all day... she felt bad for me the nurse had just checked and i was still at a four so april volunteered to run to her house and get me her ipod so i could play some games..( i had been there so long that my cell phone had died) it was like 9:30pm and my mom called april told her no progress so she was on her way home to lewiston.. well april leaves and the nurse comes in and says something is happening with madisons heart beat and she needed to check again... the next thing i know she says "oh my, this baby is starting to come" we were totally shocked she told me "hold on and dont push im gonna call ur dr." all of a sudden i seriously needed to push and was freaking out i couldnt hold out till my dr got there.. ten min later dr craig comes running in and is sweating from the run... brady tries to call april but she doesnt awnser so he leaves her a message (come to find out she thinks we are kidding because we want her to hurry and bring the ipod) haha anway after about 7 min of pushing my little angel was born..... she weight 5lbs 5 oz and was perfect!!!!! And yes Brady she was a GIRL!!! i just wanna say thanks to everyone that came with gifts and who came to the shower!!!! and especially for all the yummy dinners!!

we also stopped by grandpa reeses headstone and the boys wanted a pic with him! austin is very into the war and was excited to see his headstone

hogle zoo

once we finally got them out of the pool we headed to hogle zoo!! i forgot how pretty and fun it is.. the boys had a blast i had to sit and breathe for a minute and they were annoyed i needed a break haha thanks mom for knowing i needed a break and for giving the kids these fun memories!!! we love u

vacation with grandma

my mom took me and the boys on a super fun short vacation. we went to SL and stayed at a hotel, the kids swam the first night for about three hours and then when we woke up my mom let me sleep in and the kids swam for another two hours. im not sure what it is with kids and the pool but we had to drag them out to get ready to go to hogle zoo!

well most of u already know but on the 16th of feb we found out what the baby is gonna be!! i kept austin home out of school so he could come be we us... my sister april also came... on the way to the hospital we were makin bets on what it would be... me and brackin were a girl all the way and brady and austin were goin with a BOY... i did cheat a little cause i had an angel tell me what i was having even before i got pregnant.... for u to understand what im talkin about i have to start at the beginning... when my grandma died i was so upset and couldnt quit crying... the next day i was just thinking about how much i missed her and the strangest thing happened... i couldnt hear her like she was talking but she told me in my head i was pregnant... later that nite i told brady about what had happened and i was a little scared i had made it up... brady said he thought i was imagining it cause she had just died and i was so sad.... but at her viewing i was standing in line talking to people and i heard her again say "you are pregnant and it will be a girl" the first thing i thought was "im gonna name it after my grandma"......a week later i told my mom about her saying i was pregnant(not the girl part) while cutting her hair and i also said i had taken a test and it said NO... my mom told me maybe it ment i was going to get pregnant soon.... ill admit i was skeptical.. we dont have the easiest time getting pregnant and it usually involves going to the doctor and sometimes medicine.... i called my sister lacey and told her about grandma the pregnancy and the girl.... she said she believed me because she had her own experience with grandma after passing away... well the next weeks i started not feeling so good so i took some pregnancy tests, 2 to be exact which each said no.... but i had this feeling so i took another a week later and what do u know it said YES!!!!! i told brady and he made me buy another one because he said it was wrong cause it only cost me a dollar! (haha) well anyway the expensive one said the exact same thing YES!!!!

so when we went to the ultra sound i already had a feelin it was a girl..... april was funny and wanted the ultrasound guy to make 100 percent sure it wasnt a boy!!! i think she was supprised!!!!! i know brady was the look on his face was priceless!!! and ill admit i bawled like a baby!! i cant tell u how excited i am about a girl!@!! we had the boys trick there grandmas and tell them it was a boy... it was so funny how they tried to make me feel better by saying nice stuff like i make cute boys and one more will be so fun..... then when they found out it was a girl they were so excited.... i had brackin call lacey and tell her it was a boy... she was on speaker phone and i heard her say "how come ur mom diddnt call is she cryin to hard cause its a boy?" hahahahah

anyway to end it i would like to tell my grandma how much i love and miss her and i know she watches out for me and is my angel, im also so glad she is takin care of this little girl till she can come and be with us!!!!

christmas

geezzzz here it is march and im finally blogging about xmas!! oh well better late than never!! first we went to my moms and she cooked us our traditional breakfast... grandpa even came... the only sad part of the whole day was grandma wasnt with us, but i know she was watching....my mom gave the boys space suits.. which were a hit! and me and brady two hundred dollars in food supplies.... we are set!! then we went over to bradys moms and the boys got tons of toys... then we went and hung out at grandpas house for awhile... lacey had sent him the 12 days of christmas and the picture of him and the vodka was the last present.... he is the best grandpa and i always have a good laugh with him... i love u grandpa!!! as a funny joke he gave me some mouse killer (cant think of the name of the stupid stuff) weeks before i was complaining that we had mouses so he fixed the problem... it was so funny i started bawling... my cousin who hates olives got two canes of olives...... haha grandpa i love u
