Happy Birthday Brylee

Wow I am not good at this, this year has gone by so fast I can't believe that my sweet baby is now 1 year old, she is doing so many fun things she talks crawls walks, but not much, smiles, eats a lot and almost anything that we put infront of her... She is so sweet and happy for the most part, she loves music, and loves to dance, she loves it when her "papa" plays the piano for her...We had fun on her Birthday, she didn't want to touch her frosting, so we gave her a spoon to eat her cake and then she made a mess, it was fun. I Love You Brylee!!!

The Blessing of Brylee Kaye Waters

Brylee was Blessed on June 21, 2009. On Fathers Day and also Ellysa's Birthday, it was such a great day. My parents had just gotten home from their Mission and my dad did the blessing, it was so great. My mom made the most beautiful blessing dress for her, and she looked gorgeous! I am so greatful that I have a mom that can help me out and make my girls blessing dresses. It will be a day that will always be remembered forever... Brylee I am so greatful that Heavenly Father sent you to me you are such a great blessing.. I LOVE YOU!!!

Wow time flies

So it has been so long since I have posted anything on here, so lets see where do I start... My parents got home from their mission in June, right before Fathers Day, so we planned to bless Brylee on Fathers Day, and it was also Ellysa's Birthday she turned 6 years old, Wow how time flies... It was a great day with Family and friends around to share this day with us... In July we took a trip to Idaho Falls for a family reunion, That was fun.

Also in July I decited to take the test and class to get my CDL to drive a school bus that was a lot of work but proud to say I finished the class and yes I did pass it, so you might see me out on the road in a big yellow bus but don't worry I'm not that bad.

We went to the Oquirrh Mountain open house as a family with my parents and a few brothers and sisters and their kids and also my kids. that was fun getting together to go there..

In august well this month has flown by so fast I can't believe it is over. School started, and I now have two kids in school all day it is great, and they love going to school, they have great teachers. Ellysa had surgery yesterday the 28th to start the process to remove the big mole on her face, she is so excited to have it removed it was a long day, but the first one is over with.

Brylee is almost 5 months and is weighing in at 16.2 pounds and is 26 inches long, she cries a lot, and loves to be held, but I love her so much. we are all so busy with a crazy life so I will try to be better at this... Enjoy a few pics and I will post more soon...

My kids and New baby

Wow Since Brylee has arrived, Life is crazy, There is no time to do anything, My kids love holding the baby, and helping as much as they can, which is nice sometimes. Kaizley has taken claim on Brylee's bouncer and says Brylee gets the swing I try to teach her that we can share but she won't have it. she loves to hold her and feed her a bottle all by herself. it is cute, I hope that when they are older they will be good friends. I feel blessed to have my 4 beautiful kids. I love them so much and don't know what I would do without them.

She's Here! She's Here!

My bundle of joy is here. Brylee Kaye Waters got here at 9:59am, just in time for conference. She weighed 7lbs. 15oz. and is 19 1/2in long. She is so cute and has a chubby little round face.





More pictures to come.

Baby, baby baby

Wow this has gone by so fast I can't believe that she is almost here. I went to the doctors yesterday and I am dialated to a three. wow he said she could come anytime. I am so excited to meet her and to see what she looks like. Unlike my other pregnancies this one is different. I have gestational diabetes, never had it with the other ones, so i was put on a special diet, where I feel like I am getting jipped, I can not have chocolate! how do women get by without that. well it has been hard, but I have been strong, but I want chocolate after I have her. then I found out that I have tested positive for That strep culture, I have never had it with the other ones, But I knew I would get it cause this one is different, Oh well that one is not that bad, cause I don't have to change anything for that I just have to make sure that I get enough of the antibiotics before she is delivered. Oh well that shouldn't be too bad. I have been getting everything ready, I thought I would wait to the last minute cause I just figured if I do it too early it would make it seem like it will still be a long time before she gets here, so I am doing it now... well stay tuned for pictures of Baby Brylee when I have her. I can't wait.

Draper Temple Open House

pictures coming soon

Christmas

A little late but better late than never. The kids had a pretty good Christmas and were very surprised that they got anything thanks to family. Jaxon got up at 2 in the morning and got sent back to bed wow what a flash back from when I was younger we used to look out our window to see who would get up first in the neighborhood. then we would try to get our parents to let us get up. We went and had breakfast at joe's Parents house it was very good. then we came over to Amy's house for more food later in the day I think that is all we do is eat. but it is good food. Hope everyone had a great holiday.

Christmas, Christmas, Christmas

This holiday is so crazy there is so much going on ward christmas parties, family christmas , singing, shopping, and much much more.

Playing in the snow

Well since it has been snow my kids have wanted to live out in it, even Kaizley. Every morning when I get her out of bed she has to look out the window to make sure it is still out there. On Saturday my kids went sledding and they all had lots of fun even Kaizley loved going down the hills on a sled.

Family christmas party

We had the Higginson Family christmas party and it just takes me forever to add them to my blog, but it was so fun and nice to have all that are around to come, and just have a good time, we do our usual tradition of a Potato bar it is just easy to do with a big crowd and then we did the pass the gift story, and we had a few candy jars to guess on it turned out great.

Santa clause

I went to my sisters ward Christmas party, it was fun. They do breakfast with Santa, which I think is a great idea. we ate breakfast, and then Santa came Jaxon didn't have a problem with him. Ellysa just stared at him like he was the scariest thing ever, and Kaizley just stared at him and wouldn't take her eyes off him but when it was time to sit on his lap she screamed alot, Ellysa wouldn't even go up to him. brings back memories.

This is Jaxon's School picture this year so you can see how much he has changed. We are so excited for him to get Baptized.

Happy Birthday Jaxon

My oldest sweet boy turned 8 years old.... Wow how the time does fly. Yesterday I was going through pictures and it brought back memories of when I had just had him. How crazy it is that he is already 8. It is true if you blink too long you will miss alot. He now gets to do scouts and get Baptized both of which he is very excited to do. His friends are already in scouts and he was so excited to get to go with them. He gets Baptized on January 3rd with his cousin Derrick it will be a fun and memorable day for the 2 of them. He is such a great example to his sisters and a great big brother. Some things Jaxon likes are Pizza, playing video games, reading, Playing with his friends, and climbing trees,(makes me nervous). We Love you Jaxon!!!!!

IT"S A GIRL!!!!!!

For all who were wondering we are having another girl!!!!! I am so excited three girls could be fun Jaxon was a little bummed at first and he asked, "mom why do we keep getting girls" I told him we just take what we are given. I think it will be a fun and enjoyably addition to our family. I told Jaxon he will always get his own room and he didn't like that so much he told me that he wanted to share a room with someone. That will change, at least he can be a great big brother to his three sisters... We love our children so much and are greatful for what we get.
