My Birthday Gift and the last two months, Sorry so long

I couldn't have received a better gift on my birthday than having our baby BOY (Brigham Gary). Brigham was born at 9:29 am on Jan. 28th, 10 days over due. He was 9 lbs. 6ozs. and 22 inches long. We are both doing fine and he wants to eat all the time. The girls love him but are having a little bit of a hard time with all the changes that have happened in the last 2 months.


Our last day of Joy School my friends in St. Louis threw me a good bye party and we had a great time. Thanks guys and we miss you a lot. The Girls ask me all the time when we are going to go to Preschool.

On December 20th Justin graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic School. We are so proud of you Justin. The pictures are of Justin with family and friends.






Merry Christmas! We had a great christmas. We were able to spend the time with Justin's Mom and his little brother Braeden. The Girls had a great time, we read the nativity story and acted it out. The girls got cute matching PJ's.




Happy Birthday Loryn. How did she turn 2 so fast. She is so lucky to celebrate her birthday with 2 of her cousins (Brooklyn and Rylee). We decided to make a snowman because Loryn loves the song Once there was a snowman. We had a great party.




Our Office warming gift. This was the first flowers Justin has received. We received them from the Dr that we purchased the Office from. Our office is located on 555 1st street in Idaho Falls.

My sister and her family moved to Germany in January for orders of the Army. Here are some goodbye pictures. We sure do miss them.




On a Saturday we got some snow and so we enjoyed the time together as a family, actually we were wishing that it would put me into labor but that did not work.

We are just waiting

So a lot has been going on with our little family. We purchased Alpine Chiropractic Health Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho the 1st of the month. Justin is busy with working and making all the transitions of changing ownership. We are getting settled in and the girls are loving being close to family. Our baby is due on Tuesday but we will see when it comes. We will let you know when that excitement all happens.

Moving during the Holidays

We are still alive. Yes this has been a busy couple of weeks. We have all of our stuff packed, shipped, and in Idaho. We are still in Missouri staying at our friends apartment (the Waltons). I am leaving Christmas night and flying into Salt Lake with Loryn. Then the next morning Justin, Abbi, uncle Braeden and Justin's Mom are driving to Wyoming then to Idaho. Then we get to unpack. We are moving in with my parents then it will be waiting for the new business stuff to begin and the arrival of our baby. I have 4 weeks left from today. Hope everyone is having Happy Holidays.

Thanksgiving Holidays

Sorry for the long delay in blogging. Since Halloween we have started to pack up the apartment in preparation of moving after Christmas back to Idaho. Abbi is so excited and tells everyone that she sees. My sister,Annalee, was able to come the weekend before Thanksgiving and we had a early feast. It is always fun to have her come and stay but a little crazy in our 2 bedroom apartment and 6 little girls 6 years and younger. The girls don't seem to mind that there is toys everywhere.

It was also nice to have my sister here because Justin and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. We were able to get out of the house all by ourselves to go do something fun together. 5 years and 2 8/10ths children later. We have had a wonderful journey so far and excited to see what the Lord has in plan for the coming years.


So after all the fun with anniversaries and family around we paid for the playing. Abbi woke up from her Sunday afternoon nap and said her tummy hurt, that was the beginning of our fun thanksgiving week. Abbi slept on the toilet all night, Loryn got it the next night, then I was blessed to get it the next day. By the time Thanksgiving came around we did want to curse anyone else with the flu, since my sister had gone home and their family all went through it, we decided to let the monster die at our house and not pass it on. Since we had a early Thanksgiving dinner with my sister here we made spaghetti for dinner, went for a walk to the park (it was a beautiful day) and put up the Christmas tree. Over all it was a good Thanksgiving and one we will never forget. The rest of the pictures are of the girls in their Indian outfits that we made at playgroup, girls painting their nails and daddy with his girls. Hope your Holidays are going well.

Trunk or Treat

Each year for Halloween Justin comes up with family theme and says to me go for it, or in other words have fun making the costumes. (I can't lie I enjoy doing it, trying to be creative.) So this year we are the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. And we made everything expect the wolf teeth and I bought the girls pink clothes at Walmart. I thought the girls were adorable and they have became fascinated with Charlotte's Web movie while I have been making their costumes. Abbi even went around the church saying, "oink, oink." We had a lot of fun.

Loryn ready for Church

I decided to try something new on the girls hair. I did Loryn's hair then I said "Abbi your turn." Abbi said, "I only want one hair things, Mom." So Abbi did not get her hair done the same way. I was surprised that Loryn sat there the whole time and didn't even whine. What a sweetheart.

Joy School

Last Thursday we started a Joy School for the girls with some of my friends in the ward. Abbi was so excited for her first day of preschool. They did great and Abbi asks everyday if she gets to go to school. We are only doing it one day a week for our sanity as mothers.
