I'm obsessed....with my bright eyed boy!

I love hanging out with my buddy all day every day, it's so fun to be his mom....even when he's crying and I'm tired and at the end of my rope...I just remember the endless prayers and pleading with my Heavenly Father to send me this gift....I stare at him ALL day and just wonder why am I so blessed?? He is the best baby ever and I'm so greatful for the chance to be his mom, I love him with all my heart! and Stephen too!

JUST HANGING OUT.....

Brooks' Blessing

Stephen gave Brooks his baby blessing last Sunday, the 22nd, and he did a beautiful job. As you can see Brooks slept through the whole thing. We're so glad our family could make it!

Our Friends

Brooks and I have made some really great friends out here.....

Moms: Julee (due on April 14th!), Me, Shannon, and Tamara

Babies: Ashlyn, Oliver, and Brooks

We love getting together for play dates, although Brooks doesn't quite "play" yet, but I love hanging out and talking about mommy stuff and just getting out of the house for some girl time- these girls are so fun!

(but I really miss my girls in Boise too and our ladies nights)

I'm growing so fast!

First Day home from the hospital

One week old


two-three weeks old

Four weeks old

He's gained about 1.5 lbs, and maybe an inch or two......four weeks has flown by, it seems like it was forever ago that we were coming home from the hospital. Mom and Brooks are doing great!

Firsts

First time in his swing.....what is this crazy contraption?!

First bath, he loves it- except when he has to get out, it's cold!

First time meeting G'pa P....look we have the same little ears!

First trip to the Big City....suprising dad and eating "lunch" with him.
