We're thankful!

Another way late post! How could you not LOVE this kid!

For Thanksgiving this year we stayed here in Brigham at my parents house for the first time ever! We had a great time with our family. And Brian got his first taste of Mashed potatoes... He wasn't too fond of them at first, but he got the hang of them on the second go round.

I am so Thankful for....

My Family

My Heavenly Father

My friends

My Freedom

My warm home

My health (and my families health)

Brians Job

My MANY MANY Blessings!!

Happy Halloween!!! 2 months late...

We definitely had a Very happy Halloween. It's so much funner when you have a baby! My mom and I made Brians Costume.. Can you guess what he is?

Curious George and The Man In the Yellow Hat...

I didn't dress up this year.. I almost always dress up!!! I guess I better start thinking of what we're going to be next Halloween!

Family Pictures

Last week, our cute friend Angela went up to Mantua with us and took our family pictures. These are just a small sample of how they turned out... what a fun afternoon, Thanks Ang!

I didn't have a chance to finish my last post so heres the rest of what we've been up to!

This is Brians new "yard toy" it has come not a minute too soon! When we put in our front yard a couple years ago, we put together 1 lawn mower from 3 that were donated to our cause... Thanks to all who participated on our behalf! So when our poor craftsman started leaving mohawks in our lawn, I decided that my man needed a new one... It totally has electric start! Go big or go home... Right? We better have it forever!

First of all I have to complain about my camera... When I turn the flash off, my pictures are blurry... Any suggestions on how to fix this? Next, I'll explain the picture, this is grandma Lilly. She is 87 years old and so dang sweet! She always calls me at work to have me bring Daxton over for a visit.. The other day she called me and said, YOU DIDN'T BRING DAXTON OVER FOR MY BIRTHDAY! I had no idea it was her birthday... What a horrible grand daughter in law... :) oops! I'll have to catch up and bring him over soon!

You all may think I'm crazy for posting this but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my midwife! She is the greatest person ever! She can be well over an hour behind on her appointments and act like she has all of the time in the world for her.. She was so sweet to let me take a picture of her with Dax because we didn't get one at the hospital. Her name is Karen McBride CNM from circle of life womens center in South Ogden. If you're looking for a new Gyno.. I Highly recommend her

My dad cant get enough of this kid when he's happy... When I go to work, he comes and takes him around Vescos... Until he gets fussy.. What an awesome grandpa!

Daxton loves walks! We had just gotten home from a walk and he was so content in his stroller so I had to get a pic of his funny faces... What a cutie!

Where has time gone?!

DAXTON IS ONE MONTH OLD!

We definately can't believe it! Some of my favorite things about this kid are...

~His little noises he makes in the morning. (thats the happiest time of the day for him, he just looks around bright eyed and smiling) It just melts my heart!

~Bath time... HE LOVES baths! He'll be screaming bloody murder and we put him in the water and he takes a huge breath like he's going to scream and nothing happens.. he just sits there content... It's so funny!

~He attacks his binki like he'll never have it again

~He loves to lay on our tummies... It's the easiest way to get him to sleep

These are just the ones I can think of right now... I can't believe the personality he already has! I love it!

Here are some pics of what we have been up to this past month

ONE MONTH OLD PICTURES!

Introducing... DAXTON BRIAN WESTOVER

Sorry... I still can't figure out how to turn my videos! Here he is awake and alert. Maybe I'm bias but I think he's adorable!

On August 7th 2009 at 9:37am Daxton came to join us! He's so dang cute and a happy boy for the most part... We can definately tell that he's going to be spoiled rotten! He weighed 8lbs 2 oz and was 20 and a half inches long. Delivery went VERY well and he is Healthy. Here are a few pics of his time so far here on earth :)
