Singing Program

Brynly had a Choir Concert for Christmas and she did fantastic! We love to hear her sing!!

Ooops!

This is yet another reason why December has been stressful!!! Luckily I was alone in the car and didn't get hurt... I wish I could say the same for my car! On December 11, I was half way through a 4-way stop when another car ran into me, not a fun experience!

Emry's Surgery

Emry had her tonsils and adenoids out on December 8th. We are glad that the surgery is over and we are now over the worst part and on the uphill of things.
This is after surgery
Drunk Emry (after she was given Versed and was very tipsy!)

She looks so very tiny on that big bed! This is before they took her pre-op area.

She did very well and the recovery hasn't been too bad. What a trooper!

Lexy's Blessing Day

December 6 was Lexy's special day when her dad gave her a name beautiful blessing. She looked absolutely adorable in her dress that looked like this :

I LOVED this dress! Too bad she only got to wear it for such a short time! ( More dress pictures with her in it to follow with our family pictures)

This Lexy with most of her living grandparents: (back row) Chad and Kathryn Dabell, Lexy, Rod and Susan Gardner (front row) Great Grandma Lennis Dabell, Great Great Grandpa Eldon Croft, Great Grandma and Grandpa Ivy and Clyde Smith. Missing is Great Grandma and Grandpa Irene and Darrol Gardner. We are so lucky to have so many grandparents! It was a nice day for our family to enjoy together. It was a little different from Brynly and Emry's blessing day because we did them the same day we were sealed in the temple instead of at church. I am so thankful that Trent is worthy to hold the priesthood and give her such a nice blessing that will hopefully follow her throughout her life. What a blessing she is!

Trent's Best Day Goose Hunting

Trent went hunting today and had his best goose hunt ever. They got 27 in 2 hours and apparently that is good. :)

November

Where has the time gone?? Lexy is already almost seven weeks old! We have truely been enjoying her, she is such an angel! She has been a very good baby. I started feeding her every three hours, but at two weeks she started going every four and the doctor said since she was gaining well that it was ok to let her go that long. She has slept well since the begining waking up around two and six. At four weeks she started smiling at us when we talk to her and has started to try to coo and "talk" to us. Brynly and Emry love to play with her and talk to her. Having three kids has been busy, but I love them all SO much! Bryn has been doing her singing group again and has been loving school. She brings home books to read to us and does so good. We went to parent/teacher conference and the teacher told us she does very well, is happy and helpful, very serious about her school work, doesn't talk when she isn't supposed to, and is just a good kid. Not really anything new to us that pretty much describes her...just a good kid! Emry has been a challenge since the baby came, but she is getting a little better. She is just a busy kid, a full time job in and of her little self! We just found out that she has to get her tonsils out on December 8th so hopefully that goes well. Emry is so loving and we love her spit fire personality.



The girls love reading to Lexy.

Aiden and Lexy-- 8 weeks apart
Brynly's snowman that she made by herself, except Daddy helped her lift the balls on top of each other. I think she did quite well with what little snow she had to work with!
Trying to catch those cute smiles!

We have so many things to be thankful for this Thankgiving and these three girls are on the top of our list!

HaPpY HaLLoWeEn!!!

Another fun Halloween has already come and gone! Our adventures took us to see grandparents and to the ward Trunk-or-Treat with a few neighbors mixed in. The girls got PLENTY of candy for their dad to eat! :) Every Halloween we end our night at my Grandma and Grandpa Smiths for dinner with the family, it was VERY YUMMY!!


Lexy was not very thrilled about her flower costume...

Emry was a bee, which fits her busy little bee personality!

Here is Brynly in her Koala Bear costume...

Kyler sharing his alligator costume with grandpa.

The best costume of the night was Angie and Brady, Angie is the sheep....

and Brady is Little Bo Peep!!! Doesn't he make such a pretty girl???

Now off to sort the candy and find my favorites.... :)

We are excited to finally be home!! The labor and delivery couldn't have been any smoother. They started me about 8 am and it went pretty fast she was born at 2:46 pm. We feel so blessed to have her here and healthy. She nurses like a pro and has been a good and content baby.

This is one EXCITED sister!! We had to sneek her into the hospital since they said no one under 18 can visit. We put a mask on her and came in the back. She couldn't wait any longer!

Emry is excited but has no idea what is going on :)

When I saw her the first time this picture of Brynly came to mind...

Day before delivery


We have had so much love and support from everyone...Thank You!!

She's HERE!!

8 years in the making... our miracle baby Lexy Rose Dabell was born Today, October 13th at 2:46pm. She weighed 7lbs and 5oz. She has quite a bit of dark hair and possibly blue eyes. She looks a lot like Brynly!! Mom and Baby are doing great! Way to go SueAnn and Trent! She's beautiful!
