4th of July

For the 4th we went to Huntsville for breakfast in the park with our friends Travis and Cara and their two girls. We had lots of fun. The boys enjoyed going down the giant slide. Later that night we went to the fireworks. Cohen really enjoyed them. Hunter liked to see them but didn't like how loud they were. And Brianna didn't like them at all. She cried when they first started and then went to sleep. We had a fun day.

Cohen going down the slide. He really liked it, which surprised me because he is scared of heights. I think it helped that he couldn't see the ground so he didn't realize how high he was.

Hunter went with Daddy. He thought it was just ok. The first time kind of scared him. But he liked it after that.

For Aunt Erica

I wanted to show Erica how cute Brianna looks in the dress she got for her. Thanks Erica she looks cute in green.

2 Weeks Old!!!

Brianna is now 2 weeks old. Time goes by way to fast. I took her for her check up yesterday and she is doing great. She now weighs 8 lbs. 2 oz. At her two day check up she had dropped down to just 7 lbs. So she has gained 18 oz. in 12 days. She is such a good baby she hardly cries at all. We love her very much.

Pictures

Here are some pictures of Brianna from the last couple of days. She is such a good baby. We love her so much.

Proud big brother.

(I just hope it doesn't become a habit)

Such a cutie.

My mom and Megan came and stayed with us for five days. It was so nice to have them here. They were such a big help to me. I appreciate all the did and love them both so much. Now we get to have Ashley with us for the week. We are very excited.

She's Here!!!

Brianna Lynn


Brianna was born on May 27, 2009 at 11:46 a.m. after only 3 hours and 46 minutes of labor. She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. She is such a cutie and we are so glad she is here and healthy.

More pictures to come later.

Baby Bump!!

Since our baby is going to be born tomorrow I decided I better post a picture of my belly before I have her. That way I will know how big I was.


38 weeks pregnant.

How to...

...Get a swamp cooler on your roof.

First get a few guys together.
Have two of them be not so fond of being up high (Ty and Travis)
Then wrap tie downs around boxed swamp cooler.


Then have a discussion on what kind of knot to tie. Thinking real hard back to your boy scout days. Then try to remember how exactly to tie knot decided on.

After rope is tied to box. Have two guys climb on the roof. And one guy stays on the ground.

Get ready to pull and push the gigantic box up the ladder.

And pull.

And push. Hoping the knot in the rope holds and you don't get smashed.

And all together now.

Keep going. Its a tall house.

A little farther.

Almost.

One last little shove.

And its on the roof. With no one falling off or getting smashed. Pretty successful.

Drag box to correct spot.

Time to unwrap.

All ready to get it in place.

Tyler, Travis, and Blake. (our two neighbors) spent all day Saturday getting our new swamp cooler in place. After a few adjustments they got it to fit perfectly. Now all we have left is to run a new water line and get power to it. Good thing its a long weekend for Ty. The poor guy has so much to do before the baby comes. Thanks so much to Travis and Blake for spending their Saturday helping Tyler.

Graduation Time

Today Cohen graduated from pre-school. He was so excited and so cute. He is such a good boy and so smart. We love him very much and are so proud of him. Grandma and Ashley were able to make it down here to see his graduation program. He was so glad they could come.



My little graduate!!

Saying the Pledge of Allegiance
(I don't know if I spelled that right)

Being cute.

All Smiles. Singing the Buzzie Bee song.

They have different faces to do during the song.
This is his silly face.

His mad face. I love it!

His sad face.

And his happy face. What a silly kid.

He got a certificate for graduating pre-school. What a good boy I have.

I have some video of him singing but I can't get it to upload. Maybe another time.
