Baby, Broken Leg, and Books!

Introducing Raegan Nicole Brown! I guess it's time to share pictures and the whole baby story. Apparantly I provide a comfy tummy to live in . . . my kids like to stay there. I was induced with Hailee a week late and I was induced with Raegan 5 days late. This is the morning before we went to the hospital. I went in at about 9:30 am and they started everything. It was pretty slow and boring for a little while and then finally around 2 I got an epidural. I asked for less than the usual amount of epidural because I really hate not feeling my legs! So I was progressing really slowly and around 5:00 the Dr. came in and asked me about Hailee's birth. She took forever! So he asked if I was Ok if he left for the jazz game I said that was fine cause it seemed like it would take forever. Then like a half an hour later the contractions were hurting SO bad! I called the nurse to get me more epidural and she said I couln't cause I was ready to push! I only had to push for like 20 minutes which was way better than Hailee's 2 and a half hours! Anyway I just think it's amazing how perfect a little baby can be! We love her so much!


She weighed 8 lbs 9 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Hailee was a little nervous about her in the hospital, but since we've been home she loves her so much! She's actually handled it better than I expected. She looks so similar to Hailee but her hair is a little darker but I'm pretty sure it will still be blonde. I was induced on Wednesday and Monday night Hailee was jumping off the couch at my parents and broke her leg! I thought that she had just sprained it because she was still kinda running after her cousin on it. But the next morning she could barely walk so I took her to the Doctor (by myself past my due date . . . I'm stupid for not having someone come) and she had broken her leg! They put the cast on her right then. I knew that she would break a bone someday, she is pretty wild, I just didn't think it would be such bad timing! She actually does really well on it and has even jumped off the couch since! Apparantly she hasn't learned her lesson. She gets it off next week, I think it's pretty cute though.My last thing is lance's book. It's been a little crazy around here and everything happened the same week! Lance and his brother Neal did a children's book about BYU football. They've been working on it forever and released it Thanksgiving week. They are selling it at Maceys and online. Lance was on Studio 5 to talk about it. Here is the video They did a book signing with Jonny Harline - the football player in the book and Greg Wrubell - the announcer for BYU. Here is their I'm proud him if you can't tell! Here is their website.

Hailee's Birthday & Due Date!

Just wanted to let you know, I'm still prego! It's my due date, I think I will probably be induced again with this one . . . I guess it's just really comfy in my tummy! Today was Hailee's birthday, I forgot that I left my camera with my mom, so I don't have any pictures but Hailee had a fun day, and tonight we went to incredible pizza company for a little birthday party. She loved everything and was so fun to watch open her presents and get so excited. I'm excited and a little nervous for her to become a big sister! I'll put pictures up soon!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumkin patch tonight, Hailee was a little hesitant at first but then cried when we had to leave! She loved pulling the little wagon around to collect pumpkins.

Happy Summer!

I know it's been a long time since I've writtien on here, so here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately. We went to Disneyland in March . . . of course the second we finally walked into the park Hailee fell asleep! Her favorite thing was the playground there! But it was really fun.


Don''t worry, I cut her mullet when we got back :)

We went to Georgia to visit my sister who just had a baby girl. This is my mom and her three granddaughters.
Oriana and Hailee are look so different, but they had so much fun together. Hailee called Oriana - nana and Ori called Hailee - EEE

This is the new baby Telesia, she's a cutie!
Hailee has always been really adventurous and doesn't get scared of too much but for a little while she started getting scared of things which is why she is begging to get off the freaky elephant at the zoo. I think she might be back to her adventurous self again, we went swimming today and she was crazy!
Just a cute pic to show off her cute little girly pigtails!

Speaking of pigtails, and girly hair We're having a baby girl! I'm due on November 19, Hailee's Birthday. So they will be two years apart. Hopefully they won't have to share a birthday. Anyway it has gone by really fast this time and we're excited. I'm trying to decide if we want two cribs. I want to buy another- Lance doesn't- our last one was given to us so maybe I'm looking for an excuse to buy a cute crib. Any suggestions? Anyway hopefully everyone is having a good summer I'm glad it's finally warm here-Actually BURNING HOT now!

Happy New Year! and pictures!

Life with a crazy one year old!I walked away from Hailee for about two minutes and came back and this is what I found! She had dropped a ball in the toilet and went in to fetch it! Ha Ha what a cutie.
Hailee loved Christmas! She had fun opening her presents and got a little spoiled :)
This is Hailee's first time playing in the snow. She was a little nervous at first but once she realized she could eat this crazy white stuff, she loved it!
Don't ask me why he's in shorts and a tshirt and we're all bundled up. But he's a cute dad!
I love playing with Hailee, she is getting so fun!
If you didn't know, since Megan and Neal don't update their blog (hint hint), Megan and Neal had their baby! She was born November 28. (I hope that's the right date) I'll let her tell the story, but she came I think 6 weeks early so we got to play with Kyle here for a few days. Hailee loved Addie, she just started waving at her and got excited when she saw her.
Hailee and Kyle had a lot of fun playing together, she would wake up every morning and start waving to the door waiting for Kyle to come in. We need him to come over again!
My sister and her husband and daughter came for Christmas, Hailee and Oriana had fun together. We had so many cute matching outfits with them together, but for some reason this is the only one I had on my camera the rest are on my sisters camera. We had a lot of fun over the holidays and are excited for this year. Hailee is getting so fun, she is starting to say a few words. She says no no, mama, dada, uh oh, nana (banana), and is saying new things every day. She now loves to do ring around the rosie and loves to dance to cell phone ring tones. So fun! On a side note - My little brother gets home from his mission in one month! Woohoo!

Contest - Hopefully I win :)

TodaysMama and Provo Craft are giving away a sleighful of gifts this holiday season and to enter I’m sharing this meme with you.
1. What 5 items are on your holiday wish list this year?
I honestly haven't thought of this yet. I don't think I can think of 5 right now, but I guess I would like clothes, a craft table, maybe a membership to the gym by my house, cute winter boots, and world peace :)
2. What is your favorite handmade gift you have received?
My bookshelf made by my mother in law, thanks Cheryl! It really looks as good or better than the pottery barn one!
3. What handmade gift have you always wanted to tackle?
Everything! I always want to make so many presents and then run out of time, but I would like to make my little sister some cute vintagey looking jewelry. Or some baby clothes for my neice, or some decorations!
4. What was the best Christmas gift you received as a child?
My dad made us this cute pink house to play with our barbies in! It had real carpet and wallpaper and was so cute! We LOVED it!
5. What items are on your kid’s wish list this year?
ummm . . . I think Hailee's too little for a wish list, but she probably would like an orange peel. Lance gave her one the other day and when I took it from her she had the WORST tantrum I've ever heard! That girl likes her oranges apparantly!
6. What is your favorite holiday food?
Sugar cookies, but I'm trying to lay off them a little bit this year. :)
7. What will you be hand-crafting for the holidays? I have something planned for Kyle, but I can't say on here or I would ruin the surprise! (hopefully I'll get motivated to do it)
8. What is your favorite holiday movie?
A Christmas story for sure! Wait ... maybe Elf, either one - I love both!
9. Favorite holiday song?
The drummer boy, my dad has this one version of it that he's obsessed with I guess it rubbed off on me.
10. Favorite holiday pastime?
So many great traditions! But one of my favorites was my mom would wrap up all our Christmas books and we got to choose one to unwrap every day of December and she would read it to us. I guess I need more Christmas books before I can start this one.

It's November?!

I can't believe it's already November! That's crazy! I guess I'm finally realizing that summer really is over and it's time to stop wearing flip flops and start embracing the fall, I love summer and wasn't too excited for fall, but now that it's November, we can get ready for Christmas! And Hailee's Birthday! Woohoo! So here are a few pictures from this month.
Hailee was a cupcake and I was a baker . . . how cute:)
My little cupcake
What's that? That's the money you could be saving with Geico! ha ha! So we went to a party friday night and both wore these, well at least til the yarn broke. I love stupid little pranks, so after the party, we went to a couple friends' houses in our neighborhood and left the money box on the porch and hid and played the Geico music. The first guy just laughed and made us do it again for his wife to see. The second kid we went to said "What the **** is that?" Then his wife walked out and said "That's the money you could be saving with Geico." Anyway, it was pretty funny! At least we thought it was so funny!
Hailee's first experience with one of those wind blowy things, she loved it!
My mom is starting a tradition of a Halloween party for the grandkids (she only has two so far) and it was really fun this year. My dad however isn't so much into the hosting parties and dressing up. Here he is behind the ball toss, doesn't he look like he loves it?!
The donut contest, I guess I really wanted to win, I'm the only one bent over with my mouth wide open! Megan looks like she is scared of the donut! I guess that's what pregnancy will do to ya.
Just a random zoo picture of Hailee, I just love that she's actually sitting still in this picture, that doesn't happen too often.

Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! Happy November!
