New Additions!

Yes I am finally going to post some pictures of our new little guy! He was born on January 27th. He weighed 9 lbs 1 oz at birth and was 21 inches long so we call him our little lineman! We named him Ammon James and we are just having a blast with this new little one! His big sister can't give him enough kisses and she takes every chance she can get to hold him. She loves to help out by doing things like getting a new diaper for him or picking out his clothes for the day.
He is growing like a weed, he's about ten lbs. now and he got his first tooth on Friday! I could not believe it when it broke through! He's been a very good sleeper and an even better eater!
Oh, and as a side note, I DIDN'T HAVE A C-SECTION THIS TIME!!! People kept asking me why it was even worth it to go through the pain of labor with the chance that it migt end in a C-Section anyways. Well anyone who's had one would know why it was worth it! The labor and delivery couldn't have been better. My contractions started around three in the afternoon and we got to the hospital at about 6:30. I went from a 5 to a 10 in an hour and I pushed for 15 minutes and he was here!! I was so incredibly blessed!

Grandma Dorothy came over yesterday with Phil and Val and the fam. We had such a fun time and even got Grandma to play the Wii!
He has a little bit of acid reflux so we have to prop him up in his crib


Then, as if a new baby isn't exciting enough, our dog Kaya surprised us with puppies the day we got home from the hospital. They are beautiful little chocolate labs, and Brandon is very excited to make one of them his new hunting dog!

Here's a couple pictures of our cute Els.

We had her 2nd birthday party and it was so much fun. Thanks to all the friends and family that came and celebrated with us!
Well Greg, you made the blog with those great dance moves!

Ellie wanted to eat like 6 of these cupcakes all at once, she settled for just three!
