one month old

Our little man is already one month old. Time is fly by but I am enjoying every bit of it. Each day gets a little bit easier with two. Bridger has brought us so much joy!

A week without Daddy...What shall we do

This week Jaman has had board reviews. So therefore he leaves early and gets home really late. Most nights Taylor doesn't get to see him which has been breaking her heart and well we will say killing my sanity. Where is the break!!! AHHH!! The first two nights I found myself in tears. I really look forward to 5 when Jaman comes home and my load is lightened. Well these two nights it didn't happen and I quickly found myself down and a little crazy. SO....

I decided that I needed to change my attitude and make the best of this week. I could look at it as treasured one on one time with my kids. So I found this idea on a friends blog. I figured it was one Taylor could do so we made a treat together.

For anyone with small kids here is how it goes. Lay out pretzel squares on a cookie sheet. Place a hersey kiss or hug on top of the pretzel. (of course sneak a few in the mouth...mom won't notice) Bake in oven at 170 for 4-5 minutes. Remove and take an m&m place on top of kiss and press down the kisses. Then put in freezer for 10 + minutes to cool. I should have taken an after picture but we will just say life got a little crazy. They were pretty good. Most of all we had fun!!!

Life of a two year old.

Here are some funny things Taylor has been doing lately. Why did we get a double stroller when she insists on laying in the bottom basket......

Here is how Jaman found his shoes one morning. He laughed and insisted on taking a picture. Mr. Potato head obviously lost his arms....

Who needs toys when I love to empty cupboards and of course line them up and watch DORA!!

I love Brother he loves ME!

Taylor is loving Bridger more and more each day. She has became quite the little helper and always loves to give kisses. In the top picture she is sure of it that Bridger is giving her kisses.

An almost two year old tantrum

Outside having fun playing on the front porch.

My mom said it is time to come in.

My mom is the meanest. I didn't want to come in.

Ok, Mom I am done crying now. I just had to post this. Tantrums are quite the thing at our house lately. I am sure having a new baby and sharing attention hasn't helped. Most of the time I get frustrated during Taylor's tantrums but during this one she looked so cute so I had to take pictures. That way when she is older or is a mother herself dealing with this I can pull out these pictures and show her that she was the same way. Precious Moments that someday will pass. Gotta Love them.

Quiet time

Well my quiet time is now officially over. They are both awake. I just wanted to get some recent pics of Bridger on here. We love this little guy and I am so thankful for all the wonderul blessings that come from motherhood.

Precious Sight

This picture is so wonderful to me because he is finally taking a binki. He would not take one at first. So I had to go and buy everyone on the market. I am a big fan of NUK silicone but it had to be NUK latex. Who would have thought. Hooray for binki's! Taylor hasn't even had a hard time with him having one and her not. So for that I am thankful.

Thank goodness for moms and Grandma's

My mom flew out and stayed for a week. What a treat and huge blessing. She was such a big help and Taylor loved a full time playing partner. Thanks mom for coming. We love and appreciate you so much. I also have a hard time looking at our kids and pinpointing who they look like but in the one of Bridger and my mom I totally see a little Jaman.

Baby Bridger

Here are some pictures of Bridger. Having a boy has been so much fun. I was a little nervous because I could never see myself with a little boy but little did I know he was going to steal a piece of me instantly. I love this little guy to death. He has such a cute little personality. I have been trying to balance time with Taylor and him. I just love to sit and hold him. They grow so fast. I felt like with Taylor being the first you rush them to grow up. You always want the next stage. With Bridger I want him to stay so small. I love this stage. My kids are both at such fun stages. Everyday I wish time could just stop for awhile.

Our little One

Here is Jaman with his pride and joys. He is such a great dad and has been so good with Bridger and Taylor. Taylor has became quite the daddies girl since Bridger's arrival. He is loving every bit of that. I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who makes such a wonderful father. Taylor and Bridger are so blessed.

He said the other day while holding Bridger...."We are going to have some good times together little guy and make lots of good memories" It melted my heart to over hear him.
