Thanksgiving Point!









So we braved Cornbelly's and the Scarecrow Festival all in one day.  The kids had so much fun with some of their cousins.  Even Cash came and had some fun! I love the fall time and halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It's nice to have the weather cool down and it not be so hot. Although, that means winter is coming and I really hate being cold. Cash is such a big boy riding a pony and sitting by the pumpkins at 2 months exactly!

He is chunckin' out!


   Cashy is starting to get a little meat on his bones. I love when they start to fill out. He just hit his two month mark and we had to say good bye to the 0-3 month clothes. So sad!  The car seat is already getting heavy. He has been smiling so much. Nothing makes me happier. He still is being difficult at night. I wish I knew how to get my babies on a schedule. However, the other night he slept through the whole night and I was so excited until.... I found out bryce had given him some childrens nightime NyQuil. That little sneak of a husband. I could kill him!

Cash's Room.

This is my dad, Drake with Cash at 6 weeks old. He is now 7 weeks old and I'm seeing the chunk starting to form.  I so love chubby babies. 

Ok, so for all of my friends who live far away, finally here is a picture of Cash's room.  Some things I think turned out, and some I would change if I had more money.  I have known I wanted to do gray and orange, but had such a hard time finding this color of orange, so you can see my lame attempt to add more orange in painting canvases and the cheesy letter.  It is so hard when you have girls first and get furniture that goes with their stuff and then have to switch it to boy.  I do love my tree on the wall!  Someday, maybe this monkey will actually sleep in his room.

Cash 4 weeks...











Thanks to my cute friend Becky Kimball, I got these precious pics of my little man. Cash has been such a sweet little baby. He has brought so much love to our family and home. If I could get him to sleep through the night life would be wonderful.

Great Grandma Lloyd (Bryce's Grandma).

First Day of SCHOOL!



My girls are growing up and I hate it. Paige started kindergarten at Rock Canyon Elementary and Sailor started preschool. I think I would have shed a few tears, but with no sleep I barely was able to keep my eyes open. I am so excited for them to meet some new friends and have some fun. Sailor tells me that Ms. Silva tells her to, "zip it, lock it, put it in your pocket".

Cash has arrived....finally!






Our sweet little boy finally made it here. He was born Monday 8.18.08 (i'm so excited about the date). I got started on the pitossin about 7:30 am and had him at 12:55 pm. He was 8 lbs. 9 oz. asn 20 1/2 inches long. Bryce said he would have "weighed in" more had he not peed all over Dr. Thorup and in the plastic bin. He is adorable and I couldn't love him more. I have to say I was a little nervous having a boy, but he has my heart! We are so grateful that he is healthy and everything went great. We appreciate all the love and support we have had at this special time.

Our last day as a family of four...




Tomorrow is going to be the big day!!! We couldn't be more excited. It finally came to having to be induced. I was so hoping to go on my own, but I guess this way you can really be prepared. I've had my hopes up for the last two weeks with all of the contractions. I didn't contract with either of the girls so everyday I thought, "this is it". Then I would wake up in the morning ticked that I'd slept through the night. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and he will get the birthday of 8.18.08 which is pretty cool. I wanted 8.8.08, but oh well. This last week has been really hard. I had both of my girls at 38 weeks and to have to go one extra week is a killer. It's funny how after 38 weeks each day gets so much worse. Well, it will be all over tomorrow. I just hope everything goes well and he is healthy.



Sending off the Missionaries...





So my cute in-laws left August 9th to Singapore on a public affairs mission. We were so sad to see them leave. We went up for one last dinner and the girls went to pick flowers with Grandma in the yard. It is going to be so hard not having them right here in Provo with us. But, I am so excited for their new adventure. I hope at some point we can go visit them. We were trying so hard to have this baby before they left. I'm sad that the baby is coming only 8 days after they have left. Ohh well, that's the luck, right?
