Ryan and George

My two favorite guys!
...And I just learned how to do this! Yea!

George is 2 months old

George is so Great! Just 2 months ago today he come into our world and turned it upside down. I can honestly say I am so glad we are at two months and at not two months ago. I could have never imagined how much work a tiny person would be but now we are at a good place. I am still getting up to feed him 3 times a night and we both nap each morning or afternoon. Ryan takes a shift for me on the weekends but during the week he sleeps right though it. I don't know how I am going to manage working full time and getting up at night with George. I have about 3 weeks before real life will hit me and I go back to working. I feel lucky to have this time with the baby. He is on the verge of rolling over and he loves to "talk" to us.

We took this photo this afternoon today. Buddy didn't move. He loved that we were all down on the floor with him!

One and Fifty One

This weekend Ryan and I are celebrating our One Year Anniversary and my parents are celebrating thier Fifty First Anniversary!

One Year and a six week old baby boy. Boy are we lucky!

One more

I know, I know...

OMGodness!

This is one of the pictures that was taken when George was one week old. We went to Christy Rossi Photography in Sandy, Utah. The pictures were expensive but worth it!

Bouncy Chair

George loves his bouncy chair! His cousin Ava enjoyed this bouncy chair when she was a baby and when George was born it got handed down to him. I am the last of my siblings to have a child and the best thing about that is "hand me downs"! Aaron and Sandra, my brother and his beautiful wife, gave me a ton of baby stuff and saved us a ton of money. The bouncy chair for one, which is allowing me to update my blog right now, is his favorite place to be other than in our arms.

And, and you can see, his isn't losing his hair and he never will. I am putting that out there in the Universe, that he hasn't lost his hair and he won't. So if you will believe that with me...it will be so! Right? Right.

Tyson's Blessing

George's cousin Tyson Jack Brettridge, who is 4 days older, was blessed today. We drove down to Parowan last night and met up with the family to help celebrate the occasion. This picture was taken this morning on the church lawn after Sacrament meeting. It was a beautiful day for a picnic and so then we all met up at the park and ate and threw the Frisbee (okay, I just ate and watched the others play). Ryan's family mirror's my family in the fact that there are 5 boys and 2 girls and I feel so lucky to have such awesome in-laws! What a great day!

Note: On the way home from Parowan this afternoon, Ryan’s Dad, Mom and younger brother Brandon were in a car accident on I-15. A Trailblazer spun them out and then they were t-boned by a van. Everyone is okay. These kinds of things happen. When they do it reminds you how fragile life is. Life can change in one moment. It reminds me how much I love my family and to tell them that I love them.
