Me and my little man

Just love this little guy.
I love how everyday is
a new adventure with him.
He smiles lots and is my
best little bud.






Right now James weighs 11 lbs 3 oz
he is 23 inches long and is a little over
2 months old.
He loves taking baths and smiling and
laughing. And he hates his car seat!

Family Christmas Party

My moms side of the family has a Christmas party every year out at the officers club on base. We have a yummy dinner,we do the nativity, santa comes and the kids have a talent show. Its always tons of fun! This year I think there was around 85 of us, crazy!

and don't my boys look so sharp and handsome? I think so :)

One Happy Boy

James makes us laugh every day. He smiles a lot now and its so much fun!
These pictures make me smile.

Blessing Day

James Was blessed yesterday December 4th 2011.
Brady gave James such a beautiful blessing and James was an angel. He didnt cry, grunt, poop or anything of the sort during the blessing, which we were very afraid of. Our families came over to our house for lunch afterwards. It turned out to be quite a wonderful day!
(p.s. we missed our sisters Jamie and Jenn and their families.)

He is our little angel:)
I just love being his mom.

Thanks Kelli!

gettin bigger

James loves to do a lot of this obviously... he weighed 9 lbs 5 oz when we weighed him at the dr today. We are so glad he is eating and healthy.

Listen to this song...

Brady just bought me this song and I love it. Please listen:) because we all need to remember this. Our Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to see who he sees. He wants us to be happy. Sometimes its hard to remember that "we are made for so much more" and that we can do hard things. We are children of God and we should never forget that:)

We are having so much fun with this little guy. He's starting to have a little bit of a personality. Every day he just makes us laugh. I wish we could catch all the cute moments on camera and post them here for you, but we can't.

Our Smore

And there you have it, A giant life sized Smore.

A first for Fishing!

A couple weekends ago Brady's dad wanted to take all the grandsons( minus the boys in Boston) fishing at the fish farm near our house. Of course, Brady being the fishing fanatic that he is, he had to bring James along for his first ever fishing trip.

James seemed to enjoy the whole experience, with his eyes closed:).
Brady was so excited to have his son out fishing with him.

James was even in a picture with a FISH!

Here are some pictures of some other events of the trip!
Issac caught a fish. It took alot of coaxing from Brady to get Issac to touch his fish.

Here is Milo standing next to the fish he caught.

Here is grandpa Dave and Ivan. Ivan was loving the whole fishing experience.

What a fun day:)

More of James...

James is 2 1/2 weeks old and is growing too fast. At his Dr. appointment he weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and is very healthy. Here are some pics of the cute little guy.

action shot of James sneezing.

super adorable even when he is mad.

James loves his vibrating chair and swing. He is a good sleeper and is such a sweet boy.
I know I have said this alot but I just love him more than I can express. There really is something so special about babies, they truly are God's little miracles.We are so blessed to have his sweet spirit in our home. I am so grateful to be his mom and that I get to spend every day with my little buddy:).

Sweet Baby James

"Just when you think you know love,
something LITTLE comes along to remind you
just how BIG it really is."

Brady and I have thoroughly enjoyed James in our home. We just
Love him so much. I love being a mom and Brady is such a fun dad, he can't wait to
get home from work everyday and play with our Sweet Baby James. Its really neat
to see Brady be a dad, he is really good at it:)
I love the two boys in my life.

James really is a very good baby. He sleeps well at night and is a good little eater. He even has some pretty sweet hair, a happenin Mo-hawk that doesnt want to go down:).
He is such a nice boy and we just cant get enough of him.
(I think maybe he is so nice because he gave us such a scare on his way here:) )
James loves being stretched WAY out and he will keep his feet up like this for quite some time,especially when he is in his swing his feet will shoot up to the sky. Its super cute.

We just love our little boy!
