Me and My Teddy

In lue of Bronson's 1st birthday I thought I'd update the teddy shot. If you click on the pictures they should open up so you can see them better. Here is a picture of Bronson in the hospital when he and Teddy meet for the first time.

Teddy was same size as Bronson back then

This is the 6 month shot next to the 12 month shot. It's crazy how much he grew in just 6 months.

Bronson has another crib buddy that's named Teddy2 (okay I just made that name up). But here he is with his big teddy 6 months vs. 12 months.

Bronson was all smiles today (as long as I held him) but Brittan got him laughing really hard and this is the shot. I just thought it was so cute I had to post it.

O-N-E

In two weeks my little peanut turns one! (yes I said "my" and to tell you the truth, when Julie's not around I claim him as my own) I can't believe it's been a year since Julie was rushed to the hospital about to die of Preeclampsia and Bronson was brought into this world.

It's been an awesome year. I quit my job to help Julie out and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Bronson's such a sweet little baby and after Brittan (the terror) the man upstairs knew she couldn't handle another baby like him (bless his heart).

Well, he's turning one and we all just can't believe it. It's gone by so fast. I thought I'd just take you all on a trip down memory lane...enjoy

Here's bronson right afte he was born. 1 lb 9 oz

This is bronson getting ready to leave the hospital to come home. (p.s. that's his dad Chad)

Here he is a little older, still on oxygen but not on his monitor. It took him a while to start growing but once he did....he just keeps getting bigger. Julie is going to send out little cards to everyone who visited in the hospital for his 1st birthday to tell them thanks and let them know how he's doing. I took some pictures today for the cards so here they are...

This is the look he usual gives me when I try and get him to smile. I just know he's thinking..."you look like an idiot, so keep trying cuz I'm not going to smile!"

everyone asks me how big Bronson is and he's 13 lb 5 oz (with clothes on) but here's a picture with some perspective. This is me this morning making Brittan some breakfast (I like to pull out all the stop and put some effort into making him a nice breakfast...)

Incompatiblity

So for some reason I can't get my pictures from my camera to upload onto Julie's computer and since I don't have internet at home....you get the idea. I have lots to update on so until I figure this out...I'm sorry

Free at Last!!!

So I'm done with school...for 10 whole days! Then it's off to summer school. I will be updating my blog shortly just wanted to get through finals week. HOORRAAY!!! I never have to take Human Anatomy again. I'm so glad! So stay tuned

Happy Birthday Julie

So on the 8th was Julie's (my boss/sister-in-law) birthday. For her birthday I took pictures of all her boys and framed them so she could hang them up in her office. She practically lives there and her wall are bare. So I started sketching up some plans on how I'm going to reinvoate her office (because I have nothing else to do but create sketches...actually I did them while I was "trying" to pay attention in my math class) They are way cute pictures so I thought I'd post them all...Happy Belated Birthday Julie!

I'm never at the house when Brayden and Braxton are there because I leave before they get home from school...so these pictures aren't my favorite but i used them as stand ins until I can get the picture I want....

Wish me Luck!

Today is my huge Anatomy Lab final. I'm very nervous about this....finals are rapidly approaching and this is the first of many...if you don't hear from me for a while you know why. One semester down....plenty more to go! OH the life of a student...

My Flava'

I'm Rocky Road
I'm dramatic and unpredictable, like biting into a scoop of rocky road ice cream. Like rocky road, I can be a little bit nutty (or a little bit marshmallowy) depending on my mood. My friends never know what they're going to get when they hang out with me. Sometimes I'm calm and sweet, and sometimes I'm enthusiastic and flirty. Give it a try...what flavor are you?

Pokemon Wars

Today Brittan and I played a mean game of Pokemon. It was a battle to see who's pokemon was the tornament champion. Like any other 6 year old the rules changed as we played, but it was fun. Here's a picture of it all in the heat of the battle

Here's a picture of Brittan's team...very intimidating

Here's a picture of my team...notice the sad face on picachu

Here's Brittan telling his guys what to do and telling me how my guy was going to die. As you can imagine it was a VERY fair match. In the end Brittan came out victorious and my guy died like a billion times and as it goes in Pokemon world if you win, you win your apponent's pokemon. So not only did I lose every match but in the end I was left with nothing. Not even my guy.

And here is the mastermind behind the game....

Ode to Braxton

Okay so my oldest nephew, Braxton, who is 14 was really upset that I never post anything about him and said I only post things about Bronson. I told him it was because Bronson is cuter! jk Well, here is a post ALL about him. Over Easter weekend Braxton went to St. George for a ball tornament and here are some of the pictures.

He normally isn't this serious. He's the biggest goof ball I know. He's the kind of kid that if there is a crumb on the floor you better believe he'll be the one to trip over it. I love him anyways and he cracks me up! Here's to you Braxton!

In da Hood

Bronson is turning 11 months on the 14th. He's just so small to be so old, but he sure is cute. He weighs a whopping 12 1/2 lbs. He still hasn't made it into the percentage charts for preemies yet but we're hoping he'll make the cut next month. I can't believe he'll be a year old in May. Its crazy. They grow up way to fast and I'm not even his mom, but I love him just as much. I know a lot of you think he doesn't look that small in the pictures but there's usually nothing to compare him to so to put it into perspective Bronson is still wearing 0-3mo clothes and he's 11months. I'll try and post some pictures so you can get a better idea of his size.

These are some pictures taken at the ball park in St. George over Easter weekend. They are just so cute I couldn't resist.
