Brodens 1st outing

Believe it or not sometimes we have a nice day in June here in Arizona! We decided to walk over to the park and have a family outing, it was so much fun, especially after being stuck in the hospital for 4 days! The rest of the family was much faster at walking, but I made it there and back in a timely manner (I was very slow).

Coming Home from the hospital

Both of the kids wanted to be the ones to carry Broden out to the car... they finally settled on helping Daddy do it.
Broden was 5 lbs 12 oz when we left the hospital. He hardly fit into the car seat he was so small.

I have been blessed with so many wonderful friends! Thanks to all of you for your support and love! Also thank you to all of those wonderful friends who brought my family dinner while I was both in and out of the hospital! I love you guys!!!

Our family is the best! They are so supportive. Thank you for all of your thoughts prayers and help to make Broden's arrival an easy transition for our family.

Peyton and Logan are in love with Broden!

The first thing the kids asked each time they came to visit me in the hospital was "Can I hold Broden?" Followed by "Me first... No ME first!" They can't get enough of our newest family addition, I can't blame them, he is adorable.

Broden James - a two days old. He loves to suck his thumb, so we are trying to have him suck a Binky instead... he is doing really well with the substitute.

Broden is only a few hours old. He is our little peanut.

Fathers Day

Larry's work just recently moved buildings and their desks are much smaller, resulting in less area to display his family pictures and the children's massive amounts of art work. So this year for fathers day we got him a digital frame to help with the space issue.
