November

I am a little behind on posting but I thought better catch up a little bit. The month of November went by so fast with having a new baby, Seths birthday, Krystal having Knight, Thanksgiving, my moms birthday and my dads birthday, it all was sort of a blur!

First we celebrated Seths 3rd birthday, we had a birthday party for him on his birthday and of course he wanted a Cars theme so that's what he got! He had a fun day and got spoiled by everyone. It is so sad to think he is 3 already, time needs to stop and let me enjoy him being young. He has been such a blessing in our family I can't imagine life without him! We love him and am so grateful to be his mom!
Second little Knight was born! We are so grateful everything went well and he arrived here safe and healthy. He is so stinking cute! It will be so fun to have the three little boys so close in age and growing up together, we night have our hands full but that just means there will never be a dull moment with them around. Congratulations Bryan, Krystal and Kash!

Then we had Thanksgiving and it was a fun and relaxing day. We went to Brandon's parents this year for dinner and it was as delicious as always! I love Thanksgiving it makes me stop and think of all the things I am grateful for and every year my list gets bigger and bigger! I have so many things to be grateful for I don't even know where to begin. One of the number one things I am grateful for is my family, my boys, and of course Brandon. I love them all and everything they do for me.

That sums up our busy month of November up!

Ready for some steak & potatoes

Dax came out ready for some real food! He was one of  those 1 in every 2000 babies born with teeth! We where a bit surprised when he came out with a tooth and the other tooth is shortly going to be popping through any time!

1 month old

Well Dax is already a month old and I don't know where the time went! Dax has been such a good little baby so far, lets hope it stays that way! He had his one month check up and he is now 9lbs 3oz and 21 3/4in tall and he is as healthy as can be. Seth has been the best big brother and is very protective over him, he has to know were he is at all time and gets very worried when he is crying. Seth loves to talk to him and try to get him to play toys with him. It has been such a blessing to have Dax in our family! Pictures of Dax throughout the month he has been with us!

Halloween 2010

I am a little behind on my Halloween post! We had a fun Halloween this year we stayed busy with all the activities going on and all the family that was home. On Friday we took Kash and Seth out to my moms school were they did the spook parade and activities they had going on in her room. On Saturday we went and visited all the relatives around, then we went trunk or treating and trick or treating then finally made it home around 10:00 at night. It was fun but definitely exhausting having a brand new baby and a toddler! Here are some pictures from the weekend: Here is Boden in his pumpkin Skyler carved for him, he fit perfect! Dax in his halloween basket, one week old All the kids after trunk or treating Kash and Seth being tough in there costumes!

Pumpkin Patch

The weekend before we had Dax we went on out last family outing with just Seth. Bryan, Krystal and Kash came with us to a Pumpkin Patch in Idaho Falls. It was such a cute little pumpkin patch they had a mini corn maze that the boys had fun running around in it. They also had a little train ride going around the farm that they went on a couple times, and then of course picking out their pumpkins! That was the first pumpkin patch that we have taken Seth to and he loved it after we left we decided we will make sure we go to one every year cause he had so much fun at it and getting to pick out his own pumpkin!

The Nursery

Dax's room got finished just a couple weeks before he was born, I was lucky to get it done cause I didn't have much motivation with this baby! But once it was done I was glad I made myself get it done!! I am so grateful for my mom and her talent, she made all my crib bedding and the curtains so they all go together so well! Here is the final job! Seth was such a good little helper. He was way more of a helper than I needed when it came to painting thought! He only leaned against the wall once and then after I took this picture he stepped back into the paint tray! But he sure had fun helping me paint!

Dax Blake McNeel

Dax arrived on October 20, 2010 around 8:00AM! He weighed 7lbs 8oz 19in. He is perfect and we are glad he is here healthy and strong. My delivary was pretty easy this time I was scheduled to go in on Wednesday morning at 6:30AM and had him by 8:00AM, and got to leave the hospital Friday afternoon. Here are some pictures from the hospital: Brandon walking out with Dax just minutes after he was born Seth waiting patiently to see his little brother! He has been the best big brother and taken the adjustment very well! He is so protective and always very concerned about his little brother. He had to stay with me and Dax at the hospital on our last night there cause he didn't want to leave his baby brother there so Brandon and Seth slept on the couch in our room and Seth watched to make sure he knew were Dax was all night and morning until we got to go home! Dax not even a day old Brandon with his Boys First time I got to hold him and see him We are excited to have Dax be apart of our family. Thank you to everybody who came to the hospital and our house to visit and to our families for helping out with Seth so much! We couldn't have done it without you guys!

Congrats Amy & Skyler

Yay baby Boden Shay Young is here, and is SOOOO Cute!! He was born on Saturday October 16, 2010 and weighed 7lbs 1oz. It has been so fun being pregnant with my sister but since we are so close together we were not able to be at the hospital with each other and that has been SO hard, so I will be glad when Amy and Skyler get to come home in a couple weeks then we will get to meet little Boden and they will get meet our little guy! Congratulation Amy and Skyler he is precious!

Amy's Baby Shower

We through Amy a baby shower a couple weeks ago when she was home. It turned out cute and she had a good turnout! I hope she enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed planning and decorating for it!

We are excited and ready for October and November to come! Amy is due October 22, I am scheduled to go in October 20 and Krystal is due November 30th and we are all expecting BOYS! So we are preparing and anxious to meet all the little boys!

Labor Day Weekend

For Labor day weekend we went camping with Brandon's family on Thursday and went home on Sunday. We love going camping, this time we went for lots of 4-wheeling rides, playing in the creek, and lots of resting time! Once we got home from camping we went to the fair with our niece's and nephews and let Seth ride some rides it took him awhile to get used to them but once he did he didn't want to get off! We had a fun weekend with our families and looking forward to more family time! EISF 2010 Camping Labore day weekend 2010

Better Late Than Never

We have had alot going on this summer and I just didn't make time to post about all the fun things we were up to!

Seth and I went to Vegas to stay with Amy and Skyler in August. It was so fun but it was HOT!! This was Seths first flying experience, he loved it and did so good I was a little nervous taking by him by myself but he loved all most everything about it. He did however hate the security checks he freaked out when it came to taking off his shoes and putting his stroller through the scanners but after we got past that he was fine and loved riding in a BIG airplane. It was so fun to be able to see Amy and Skylers new house that they have decorated up so CUTE and be able to spend some time together. Thanks Amy and Skyler for the fun weekend!

After Vegas we had a Dance family reunion. This was the first official reunion we have had with my side of the family. We had so much fun we went camping for the weekend and then on Saturday the guys went golfing and the girls took the boys swimming we meet up later that day for another night of camping! It was fun to spend so much time with my family it is never a dull moment when we all get together!
