STORIES

December 26, 2008

Update time!! Halloween was great, it was very warm so we were lucky! Brynlee was great, she only wanted to go to a few houses but she really enjoyed it. Since her last birthday Brynlee has been asking for a "Barbie car".....not a car for her barbies, a car for herself! So for Christmas, her dad and I decided to get her one. She also got a nice kitchen from "Santa" and a few other things. She woke up around 7 Christmas morning and looked at me, I said, "Bryn, Santa came!" She jumped up and yelled, "Oh mommy I'm so happy!!!" She then ran to wake everyone in the house so we could go see what Santa brought. It was a fun Christmas, I asked Brynlee if she got everything she wanted and she simply said, "Yes mom, thank you and my daddy and Santa." Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!

Hey everyone!

Well a lot has gone on since I've written a story so I'll spill.......Brynlee started preschool this year, she loves it! I was a little worried that she would have a hard time staying by herself since she has never been with people she doesn't know. But she did amazing from day one, her teacher Mrs. Wall, told me she cried a few times but they just distracted her and now she's great! She is quite the little princess, all day every day she is singing and dancing around in her princess dresses, it is sooooo cute! Her favorite movie is Enchanted, she recently got a Giselle dress, so she sings the songs from the movie all the time! She is stiil loving her animals, we have kittens AND puppies right now so she's been having a blast! She is very excited for Christmas, she talks about Santa all the time! It'll be fun this year because she understands more than before. So any time she is naughty we remind her that Santa can see her all the time!!  Well that's about it for now, I'll do my best to keep this more updated! Love to everyone!!

Well we haven't written anything in a while!!! Life is busy what can we say? Our little Brynlee is growing faster everyday it seems, shes got the walking, running, going up and down stairs down very well, and she is pretty good at feeding herself. Her new word is down, she shakes her head yes, loves dancing, oh and her CAT!!! Yes her Dad, who HATES cats, bought her one! And one week later a teenie little kitten ended up on our doorstep, so now we have 2 because Ryan says we can't get rid of it. But Brynlee loves them, she carries them around everywhere. Their names are Jazmine and I think the little one is going to be Smokey, but we'll see! Well thats about it for now........until next time!!!

I am really bad at taking time to write stories! But here we are now! Our little Brynlee is getting so brave, she will take off and walk across the room all by herself, I'm so happy!! She is so amazing, everyday she does something new. She has been saying Ma-Ma, Na-Na, Pa-Pa(Grandpa!),Ba-Ba, and now that she has four teeth she tries to say T's and some kind of ST's. And I swear she tries to say Zeus! She also does the clucking sound with her tongue, sooo cute! She kisses everyone and even the animals, she kisses the phone if shes talking to someone she knows. The only thing she does thats NOT good is throw fits! She is VERY good at it. But she is still beautiful and adorable, so we'll just deal with it! Well I've got to get back to her, shes yelling at me because I'm not paying attention to her! See Ya Later!

We finally blessed Brynlee today and what an amazing experience it was, everything that was said seemed to be things I already knew she would be. It was very short notice so there were a lot of people who weren't able to come, but just so everyone knows, you were in our thoughts! Well, I'm going to get back to my little angel now!

Well Brynlee is officially crawling! Finally! She really wants to take off walking and sometimes thinks she can! She is so funny when she crawls, most of the time she uses her feet instead of her knees. She can stand a little by her self, she has let go and taken a few steps before crashing down! When she feels like it she says "Mama" too, I love it! She is amazing and we love her so much! Well I have to go make dinner, until next time!

Mom takes too long to write new stories, so I decided I was going to! Yesterday my very first tooth broke through! I was biting my moms finger and that is how she discovered it! I'm so excited to have my first Halloween! It is going to be sooo fun! I am now sitting on my own, and I can pull myself up and stand all by myself. I'm not too sure about the crawling thing yet, I think I'd rather walk, just like my Mommy did! Well that's about all that has been going on lately, and my Daddys Birthday of course, Happy Birthday Daddy!!!! I Love You!! Anyway, I'll have to make sure there are more stories for everyone to read on here! Brycen, I'm SOOOOO excited to see you and your Mommy and Daddy!! I love you guys!

It has been WAAYYY too long since we have written a story! So while I have a minute I'll write one. Lots has been going on, Ryan and I both got new jobs so that keeps us very busy, and our precious little Brynlee is growing more and more everyday! She is such a blessing and great joy to us. When our day is not going the way we would like it to all we have to do is look at her and it makes everything else just disappear. She is starting to sit by herself now, and she talks all day long! She holds her own bottle most of the time ( YEA!!!!)  and LOVES food! She definitly takes after her mothers side with that one!! Her new cousin was born about a week ago, and I think the name her Mommy and Daddy went with is Elise, she is beautiful! Congrats Tara and Brian, we love you guys! Also, one of my best friends, a.k.a. Aunt Jesalee, told me she is expecting around the same time Brynlee was due! Congrats to Kade and Jes also! Well that's everything going on right now, I also want to let everyone know that we are making something of Brynlee and sending it to all of our family and friends, it's great! Talk to everyone later!

Mom and Dad took me to this "Cutest Baby" Contest today, and well there were about 22 girls and I'm not sure how many boys, and they were all pretty cute..........BUT not as cute as me!!! I was the last to be judged, but I won first place! Mom got really nervous when they were about to announce the winners, and Dad got soooo excited when they called my number for first place! But I knew I had it in the bag. Now I get to be in the newspaper and I even get to ride on a float in the parade next Saturday! I'm so excited, it's going to be a blast!! This is just the beginning, I'm going to be famous one day, just watch me!! So if you'll excuse me, I have places to go & people to see!!!

Well tomorrow Brynlee is going in for her shots..... I hate seeing her in pain, it breaks my heart! But it's for the best! I can't believe 2 months have gone by so fast, she is getting so big! She smiles all the time and tries so hard to laugh, I love it! Her hair seems to et more red by the day, but she doesn't have the typical redhead skin, she lucked out and got my skin! Ryan is already talking about having another baby.......Yeah not so sure about that! I want more of course but he is already getting baby hungry because he says she is growing too fast and pretty soon he won't be able to hold her like he does now. But I told him he will ALWAYS be able to hold her, girls love their daddy's! We also did something VERY spur of the moment....... We bought a new truck. It's a 2005 Dodge Ram with a Hemi! I love it sooo much, it's my dream car! We were just stopping to see what kind of price we were looking at when we were ready to buy, and they got us into such a low payment that we couldn't say no. Our Explorer kept having problems so we are selling that, we don't want to pay any more to fix the stupid thing! Well I have to go finish dinner, we'll talk to everyone soon!

Ashley, Ryan, & Brynlee

Hello everyone!! Hope all you moms had a GREAT Mother's Day! It has been a long time since my mom and dad have written any stories so I decided to take matters into my own hands..... My Best Bud Brycen is sooo cute, it's crazy how much our lives are alike! He might have thrush right now and I just got over it! His daddy plays softball and so does mine, he even got rained out on his last game. I have only gone to one game out of three because the weather hasn't been nice enough for me to be outside that long. I am happy to say that I am growing like a weed and I can even roll over now! I smile and coo, and I've almost got the laughing thing down too. We are all having a blast! The weather is supposed to start getting warm so we will be able to do more. Well it's really late and I'm falling asleep so I better get to bed, I'll write soon, I PROMISE!! Lots of Love!

Well Brynlee's buddy was born yesterday!! Brycen, he is absolutely adorable! He was 8 lbs 2 oz and 20 1/2 inches, Ashlee and Dustin I think you've got yourselves a football player! Congrats!! Brynlee is doing well, she is such a strong baby. She has been holding her head up since we brought her home and is now pushing and holding herself up with her legs! She is so cute and growing like a weed, her clothes are now either too small, or too big. We are having so much fun with her, she is such a little princess and we can't wait to share her with ALL of our friends and family. Aunt Jesalee came with cousin "Putty" last week, we had a blast! Hopefully we'll get to see everyone else soon.

Absolutely an amazing experience I was able to have helping deliver Brynlee.  On March 18th Ashley became very sick so we called the hospital and they said to have Ashley lay for an hour and see if the baby moves 6-10 times. They also asked if she was able to keep anything down, but she couldn't even hardly sip water without getting sick. So after an hour passed by the baby had only moved twice, so in we went. We got there at about 3 a.m. and they started giving Ashley fluids through an iv. Now let me remind you that the past few weeks Ashley had been having contractions and had been dilated to a 3 since the first of February. That night she had also been having contractions which we found was normal for her, they were about 3 minutes apart. We stayed there all night and at about 8 a.m. Dr. Rees came in and checked on her. He said Ashley being sick had caused her to dilate another centimeter because of the pressure. Then he said they were going to go ahead and just induce her! So time went on, we slept as much as we could ( not very much ), Ashley was starving but of course couldn't eat. At about 2:00, after telling us the Dr. was going to come break her water, it broke on it's own and we were on our way! Ashley started feeling pain with her contractions about an hour later so we called in for some relief. Around 4 p.m. Ashley told the nurse she felt like something was going on so the nurse checked her and she was all the way dilated................Now was the time to push! So on it went, and right before she was about to deliver we found out there was a girl next to us who was at the exact same point in her labor, the race was on! The Dr. hadn't gotten back from the other hospital he had to go to but Brynlee wasn't going to wait. He got there just as her head started coming out, and of course, we beat the girl next door - WOO HOO! She was in labor another 45 minutes or so after Ashley had delivered.

How amazing to watch your child coming into the world, there really are no words to describe the feeling, just amazing. She is absolutely beautiful, I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful baby. She is doing great and so is Ashley. We'll keep you all ( or as Ash would say "ya'll" ) updated on how everything is going.

Ryan and I would like to thank his Aunt Debbie and Emily for throwing the baby shower for us!  It was alot of fun! It was the funniest thing when Ryan came to the second baby shower at 4:00 pm and he started to open the gifts.  I remember him pulling out certain gifts and saying, "what do you need this for?"  It was pretty funny seeing some of his reactions!  We're getting more and more excited for the new addition to our family.  We'll keep everyone up to date!

Well our trip to the hospital was not our last! Hopefully it's the next to the last though. My medication that stops contractions wasn't working to well, so they gave me a shot for pain and told me to keep taking it because it would at least help a little. So now we are just home and I have decided I am NOT going back until the ACTUAL moment is here!!!! So the next hospital story will be Brynlees Birthday Story!!!!

Ashley and I were up until 4:00 am this morning trying to see if we couldn't make Brynlee calm down.  It's only a matter of time before she'll be here with us.  It's now 1:30 pm and we're heading into the hospital hopefully for the last time!!!
