Sunny WELCOME to the crazy family!!! (the Hudson side)

~FAREWELL~

Well there are a few friends that will be leaving in the near future due to either a job loss or school is over so they can start their wonderful careers out west.
WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU GUYS BUNCHES!!!!
Mari ah: I cant believe you are leaving on Friday. You have been such a good friend and I have enjoyed hanging out with you and Travis. I am glad that the two (now three) of you moved here to Jacksonville, i would of hoped y'all could stay longer but you have to go where the jobs are. I pray that everything will work out with Travis finding a new job. We hope you have a safe trip!
Krystal & Noel: I bet you and Noel are so so happy to finally say WE ARE FINISHED just a couple of months left and school will be over!!! I'm glad that the both of you were able to become part of our ward family even if it is for a short 2 years. Krystal I'm going to miss you and your oh so cute kids if i ever need a good laugh i can always read a story about Alley or Damon and it will totally make me crack up. I had fun hanging out with you and you totally keep the party alive. Noel, Smokey Bones won't be the same without y'all. I had a great time getting to know you, i just love how you don't keep anything back and Greg gets on to you. Its just priceless!!! Your little man will truly missed. Its been a blast watching him grow and see what i get to look forward to in the future.
I hope that we can all keep in touch with each other.

I DID IT!!!!

So today i finally got up the guts to tell my boss i'm not coming back. It's been lingering on my mind for awhile now, should i go back or stay home. We found out that daycare is about $185 a week which is ridiculous and if i worked i would only make about $300 extra besides the time i wont be spending with my precious boy.

I feel that if it is at all possible to stay at home with our newborn you should. Just think if you have a full time job you get up and get you and your baby ready for the day, drop him off and you get to work at about 8:30 you finally leave work about 5 and pick him up get home make dinner sit for about an hour and go to bed. There is just no "family" time at all, and for me being a new mom i have realized your baby needs as much attention as you can give them. I also won't be beneficial at work because i will be thinking of my doodle bug all day with tears in my eyes!! All i hope is that they understand the reason why. FAMILY COMES BEFORE ANYTHING even work!!!!!

~How can you not want to spend all day with this cutie pie

(5:00 am)

Family pictures!!!

About a 2 weeks ago we walked into Sam's Club and got pulled aside at the door by a gentleman from Picture Innovations. He then started explaining this deal that they were having for 9.95 you get a free 10x13 photo and 5 different poses and there will be plenty of others to purchase. Well i wasn't going to go for it but Eric said that it sounded like a good deal, so i asked him a few questions and then filled out the forms. We went the other day to get our pictures done when we got there it was totally not what the gentleman said. They took 3 poses not 5, we couldn't pick the picture we wanted to be in the 10x13 the picked it for us and the cheapest package was $90.00 oh and one 8x10 was $40.00. So needless to say we went to Blue Cypress and had them done!!!! I sent the proofs to Walgreen's and for 15.00 we got 17 pictures and 4 of them are 8x10. Check them out and see what you think!!!!

What a Wonderful Blessing!!!

A Family

picture the

day Dayton

was Blessed!!

6 weeks

Today my little doodle bug is 6 weeks old. I can't believe that time just goes by so fast!!!

Dayton's next appt. isn't until April 28th so i will have a update on his weight and height then, but he is growing like a little weed. As for me i cant wait for my appt., which is tomorrow so the doctor can give me the ok to work-out and i can get back to normal (my body). LOL
Well its about 11:45pm and he has finally fallen asleep...... For some reason it's so hard to get him down at night. With Eric teaching seminary early in the morning we try to get to bed at a decent hour but Dayton likes to be wide awake (of course). When i do get him to bed he sleeps through the night............... most of the time!!!
My bed is calling, time to get some much needed rest!!!!

I guess since i haven't written a blog in a while i should get on it.................

Dayton is 5 weeks old today and he is growing like a weed! I never realized that time could go by so fast, it took forever for him to get here and now time just flys by. But being a mother is one of the best thing that's happened to me next to meeting and marrying my wonderful husband. Eric and I started a new chapter in our lives on March 4, 2006 and on February 26, 2008 again we flip the pages. Dayton has brought such joy to our lives in the 5 weeks he has been here just sitting back and remembering my pregnancy finding out for the first time we were having a boy to feeling him kick, roll and get the hiccups, now we see everything. ITS PRETTY AMAZING.




We had to be sure it was real






The belly begins to grow









and grow


Now we have out precious baby boy!!!!!!
Here is a cute short video of him smiling
