What do you do when your 3 older kiddos are at their Mema's house all week and it's just you and your precious newborn??

Take lots of pictures! I know how fast they grow and I want to remember every detail and enjoy every moment.:)

Enjoy Brielle

Coming Home

We got to come home from the hospital on Mike's Birthday.:) I was excited to get home and have our family all together.

Brelyn didn't know what to do with Brielle at first...

But after a couple of moments you could tell that she was starting to enjoy holding her and pointing at Brielle's toes.:)

Mike turned 32 this year! We are very grateful for him and very glad that we all got to be home on his birthday!:)

Our precious Brielle is here and we are in love with her already!:) Labor and delivery went really well and she is perfect.:)

We went to the hospital at 7:30am on Tuesday to be induced. We got settled in and got the medicine started. My mom joined us around 9:30am. Everything went really smooth. My epidural worked really well. My water didn't break until right before I was getting ready to push. I pushed through one contraction and the doctor said that the baby was face up..(they are suppose to be face down) The nurse said that it might take a little longer than I thought..I think she was trying to help me not get too discouraged just in case I needed to push for awhile. But then someone said something that made me laugh a little and the doctor said "you might laugh this baby out"...that made me laugh again and out she came.:) So Mike keeps telling people I laughed her out.:) She is beautiful and sweet and we love love love her.:)

Josie

Ena and my mom's dog Josie have a special relationship.:) Josie loves Ena. Ena loves taking care of her. It was fun to have Josie here while my mom was here.:)

Bradley

So just wanted to brag on Bradley for a little bit. I love being his mom! He is such a sweet boy. He is a great helper. I don't think I've ever seen a better big brother. He is so sweet with all of his sisters. He loves them so much and is very protective of them. He also got strait A's all year! I feel so blessed that he is mine.:)

Swimming!

Mema brought her old pool for Bradley and Ena to enjoy this summer. And she brought a baby pool for Brelyn to splash in...They have had lots of fun already!:)
