Bradism..

I haven't posted any of the kids random funny stuff lately. I need to get back into gear...

Brad ran up to me this morning crying and I asked what was wrong...

B: "MOMMM! Rylin just bless youd in my face!"

no matter how many times I tell him it's called a sneeze~ he just doesn't believe me. He has been calling them bless you's forever... funny B.

i need a distraction...

ok. it's been an eventful week. to say the least... after our second trip to the Dr. in two days we have discovered that Kendyl's ear drum decided to burst, Brad has croup and Rylin has RSV and an earache..Avery is... princess Avery and Had is adorable. (I felt bad leaving those two bugs out...)

Yeah. party over here!


ok. not really.

I am totally drained with it all and really need a distraction. So, I think I will watch our favorite movie of ALL TIME!! (ok. there are some close second placers...) But, this one takes the cake...for sure! ;)

Seriously, if you haven't seen this "most likely to split your gut laughing" movie... you have to.

it's classic. up there with Pride and Prejudice or... Pirates of the Caribbean (ladies, you know what I'm talking about...)I think William H. Macy is comic genius!!
here's the preview if you haven't seen the movie... time to make some Kettle Corn....

almost 2 months already...

hmmm.

Brad has been BEGGING for a mohawk. So.. this morning I gave in--
for the moment...

*sorry for the yucky pic... it's from my phone...

funny guys.

boys weekend at the Bowl game in Vegas...

4 weeks old tomorrow..

how big is big enough???

she's already a WEEK old!!

We are all very excited that our little Hadley Jean has arrived! She was born Dec. 5th at 9:12pm. She was 6lbs & 14oz and 18 inches long. She has a ton of really dark brown hair and is a really mellow little bug. She hates having her diaper changed but other than that she just hangs out with us... The kids all fight over who gets to hold her and they will sit on the couch for about an hour each just starring at her and snuggling with the little peanut. So, Stephen and I just change diapers and I nurse... piece of cake! :)

Words cannot describe the love we feel from our family and friends. We know everyone was praying for her healthy arrival and it is a strong lesson for our family on the power of prayer. Just two days before she was born we had an amniocentesis and the Dr. said that her lungs were still too immature to be born yet. We were grateful to know how she was progressing and tried really hard to stay in bed and not have a baby for a few more days... Well, she stopped moving and gave us quite a scare and the Dr. decided to just get her out so that they can take care of her... Labor was induced at about 4pm and she arrived perfectly healthy just a few hours later. We are so blessed. I know Heavenly Father heard our prayers and we are so grateful for everyone's concern and love for her...
Here are a few of my favorite pics from this last week...

I think Hadley is a carbon copy of Avery... what do you think?

Mom and Dad right after she arrived...

Daddy picked out her Christmas bow... didn't he do good?

I am always so concerned about the amount of hair they will have...so, I was very excited to see all the black curls on her head...

yummy cheeks...

a funny little family dance...

little miss attitude...

Av cracks me up. I am sitting here on the computer and she is on my bed playing with her toys... nobody is talking... then out of the blue..
Av: "MOM. You better boom with your attitude."
Mom: "what?! I don't have attitude. what are you talking about? Sounds like you need to boom with your own attitude over there..."
Av: "whatever mom. I already did."

nutjob.
