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.... :)

Lexy

Here are a few pictures Missy and I took of Lexy today...

More Pictures

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!

38 Weeks

My little photographer took this picture and it is a little fuzzy but you get the idea of my prego belly. I am 38 weeks and we are ready to meet our new little baby...hopefully sooner than later! :)

Aren't they cute!

It is certainly true of siblings, they are best friends and worst enemies!! This is how I found them the other morning while Bryn was trying to finish her breakfast. Emmy idolizes her sister!

We now interrupt this marriage...

My grandma had a magnet on her fridge that said "We now interrupt this marriage to bring you the NFL football season". I need that same one only instead of football it is hunting season!! :) This was the day dove season opened so Trent went across the street and shot himself some doves.
Then he went to Medicine Lodge and went sage hen hunting. This is only the beginning of a long hunting season...

Labor Day Weekend

We went to my Grandpa Eddie's Ranch for the holiday weekend with the Gardner Family and had a great time!

Great Grandpa Eddie with some great grandkids and some great great grandkids! Mona Gardner (Todd & Tiffany's daughter) Brynly, Emry, Grandpa, Grace & Cameron Gardner (Scott & Mandi's kids). I wonder how many 93 year old Grandpa's are as amazing as this one-- he hooked up his camp trailer himself and loaded his own 4 wheeler and came camping with us!

Brynly and Emry

It was a fun weekend of playing!!

Big Yellow School Bus

I think riding the bus was as big of a deal to Bryn as starting school!! She LOVES to ride the bus. Emry and Brynly sit on the front steps together until the bus comes and then Em waves to Bryn as she gets on the bus then she comes inside-- it is their cute little routine.

First Day of Kindergarten

It finally came...the most exciting day of Brynly's life and a very sad day for the mommy!! She was disappointed that they didn't read and write on the first day, but she said that recess was her favorite part!

August Happenings...

I can't believe that summer is almost over!!! We have had a busy August. We went camping to Island Park the first weekend of the month for the Gardner Reunion and had a good time. A couple weeks ago Bryn read a book with her dad called Just Me and My Dad and after reading it she said I want to go camping just me and my dad. That request required no persuasion...Bryn and Trent went on an overnight camping trip just the two of them to Medicine Lodge. Bryn caught a fish that they ate for dinner but her favorite thing was making smores and sleeping in a tent!

This past weekend we went to my Grandpa Eddie's Ranch and camped. We helped my dad cut firewood..

we rode four wheelers, played baseball, and shot skeet. The girls wanted to try out shooting so they got to try the .22 and thought it was fun!


What a lively crowd!! :)

Today Andy and Missy had their baby! They named him Aiden Austin Boyd, he weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz. and is 21 inches long and was born around 4:20 pm. I wanted to be there when she had him but we missed by less than 10 minutes!! It was fast! I hope my Labor and Delivery can be like hers!!! He is a very cute baby, I think he looks a lot like Kyler. The girls are excited for another cousin!

Welcome to the family Aiden!!!

30 Weeks!!!!

OK, OK, I am finally posting another stunning picture of my belly. :) Brynly took this picture of me the other night...quite the photographer isn't she?? We are now just a little over thirty weeks and time is flying by!!

More Birthday Pictures

When we returned from Lake Powell we had a little birthday party for Brynly and invited those family members who weren't on vacations with us.

This was what she REALLY wanted for her birthday...a new bike!!!
