Wyatt Shane Rees

Wyatt Shane Rees was born on April, 1 2009 at 7:56pm. He weighed 9lbs. 2.5oz. was 20 inches long. He is a wonderful baby. He's very content, doesn't cry very much. He had a rough few weeks were he was losing a lot of weight. But he is growing now! He has started to smile a lot mostly at Mommy! His big sisters adore him and fight over who gets to hold him first. They are a big help to mommy. They help give him a bath, change him, feed him and cuddle with him! He is such a joy and a blessing to our family! We love Wyatt!

Moved again

Well we found a house to rent, we moved into it this last weekend. The downside is that it's a house for sale, so if it sells, we'll have to move again. By the time our house is done being built, I'll never want to move again! Very stressful time for me right now. We aren't going to move all of our stuff in cause if we have to move out, it's less stuff to move. That's a quick update from our neck of the woods.

Bring on the cold and snow!

Well, it's offical. Winter is here in Coalville. It's snowing and windy right now. We're under a snow advisor until tomorrow. I'm excited for the snow, just not the idea that my husband has to commute in it. And that once the snow is here, it won't be long before it's gone, which means the baby will be here soon!
Shane's birthday was Saturday. We made him a cake, a purple one, which he told the girls he wanted. So we made him a purple cake with flowers and butterflies. That's what happens in a house full of girls!
So that's what's been going on with our family lately. I hope that you and your families are doing well. Till next time.

Jessica wanted to be Hannah Montana this year. She loves singing and performing!

Lizzy is our beautiful snow fairy!

This year we were able to actually take the girls trick-or-treating. Our ward didn't do the trunk or treat this year, so we went around to the homes in our ward and it was really fun. We were out for and hour and a half and came back with sore feet and full bags! The girls loved it! Even the part that we got rained on! Happy Halloween!

Blessings

Since being sick with this pregnancy, I've spent a lot more time than I want in bed and sleeping. The times that have me laying down I've thought about a lot of things. Mostly what a wonderful family I have. My husband of almost 8 years, how good he is to me, how patient he is; our two beautiful, fun girls and what a joy they are to us! Jessica is in first grade and loves to learn new things. She has lots of stories to tell us about her days at school. We're so proud of her, she is so smart, and very sweet. Lizzy is a sweetheart! She loves to help anyone with anything. She loves hugs and kisses. Her heart is very tender and she easily gets her feelings hurt. But with that tender heart comes lots of love from her! We're excited to add another angel to our family. We have been waiting a couple years for this baby to come. It's been a challenge for us because we love kids and I'm not very patient. When I was something, I want it now. So I've had to learn to be a lot more patient. But with the trials we've faced it's helped me appreciate what I do have. And that is a wonderful family. I love my husband so much, I would be a mess without him! He keeps me grounded and I learn so much from him. Our girls teach me a lot too! I'm so grateful for all that Heavenly Father has blessed me with. I hope and pray that I can continue to be teachable and appreciate my blessings.

Perfect Fall Day

Today has turned out to be a wonderful fall day! The breeze is blowing in that crisp fall smell. It's still warm enough outside to ride bikes around the yard. And Shane's favorite, hunting season. He went hunting Saturday, with the intent to get a big buck, nothing under 26 inches. But after returning that night, he said he didn't see anything. Just a bunch of hunters, and some small bucks. He doesn't get discourage though, he can't wait to go back out on Wednesday. We'll see what he gets this year. Have a wonderful fall day!
