Kansas/Oklahoma

We have been here about a month and it has definately been different. We have done a few things, we went to the zoo, and me, Braylee and some of the other wives went to a children's museum. We haven't done much in Oklahoma, but its still early.

Our day at the Zoo!!



Jimmy and Braylee loving the giraffes at the zoo.



Braylee hated sitting on this statue, but we thought it would be funny. Didn't turn out as cute as I was hoping.



We were loving this gorilla!! Jimmy sat and watched it and kept saying how crazy it is that they are so humanlike. It was funny



Daddy and Braylee



Mommy and Braylee



Sorry, forgot to rotate the picture. Braylee was so tuckered out after a while, and it was so hot we ended up taking her clothes of and she spent most of the day in her onesie.



Sleepy girl!!

Since me and Braylee spend most of our days in our apartment, I end up taking pictures of her doing anything and everything.



She LOVES books!! She sits and looks at them, almost as if she is really reading them.



She rolled under this table and couldn't get out. She was having fun at first, then she ended up getting frustrated, it was hilarious!



I LOVE THIS FACE!!!



This little craddle was at the children's museum. It was all wood, and looked like an acorn, it was so fun. I couldn't resist putting Braylee in it, and she ended up really enjoying it.

What's been going on with us the last year.

After we got home from Alaska, we were both so anxious to get things ready for our Braylee girl we started the weekend after Jimmy got home. We ordered her bedding, her crib and changing table.

*AUGUST



THis is all Braylee's bedding that we threw all over the living room! Anxious for our little angel to get here.



Proud Daddy getting the crib all set up! Braylee's room finally coming together.

*SEPTEMBER





In September, my mom and sister threw me a baby shower, and we got alot of things that would help us welcome our little Braylee into the world.

*OCTOBER



We got to the hospital around 5 a.m. on October 15 and when we got there I was dialated to a 4, so I was able to get my epidural shortly after that. After my epidural, my blood pressure dropped, so Jimmy being the wonderful husband he is, he made sure I had a cool rag on my head to help control my shakes. I started pushing around 8 a.m. and my doctor came in around 8:20. Around 8:40, we met the most beautiful little angel.....



Our baby girl finally arrived at 36 weeks and 6 days. She was 6lbs 10oz and 19in long. I finally came to understand what all the new mom's said, there is nothing more beautiful than the sound of a new baby cry. She melted me heart the first time I saw her. Jimmy was instantly wrapped around her finger. She looks just like her daddy.



Only a couple days old, Braylee was so anxious to see the world and all it had to offer her. SHe has been wide eyed everyday since she was born. So curious of the new world she lives in.

*NOVEMBER



Jimmy was so excited when Braylee got big enough to wear this cute little onesie he got from his mission.



The two loves of my life!!

During Thanksgiving, we were able to bless our little angel!! Our amazing photographer (wink wink amber) was able to take some gorgeous pictures of Braylee and of our family, but I forget to bring the cd with us out here in Kansas, so I will have to upload those pictures another time.

*DECEMBER



Braylee's first christmas picture with Santa!! We loved having "santa" and grandma come to the house.



Braylee opening her very first christmas present from grandma and grandpa allen



Christmas eve and the Evans house



Braylee was so tired and ready for bed! She had had enough of christmas eve and was ready for the big day!

*JANUARY



This is the present grandma and grandpa allen gave Braylee for christmas, she was to small to play with it at christmas but loves it now!



When Braylee first started eating baby food she didn't love it, she would make these funny faces everytime we tried something new!

*MARCH

In March, we all gathered at Tammy and Chris's house for Creyton's blessing and Cameron's baptism. When we were there, our wonderful photographer (again, amber) took some more pictures of Braylee for us, my computer won't upload them right now, but I will work on it!! They are just to cute not to share with everyone!! THANKS AMBER!!

*APRIL





This is the day before Easter sunday. My family does a big Easter egg hunt, this was Jimmy and Braylee's first easter egg hunt with my extended family. They both seemed to have fun!



Our family picture after the easter egg hunt!



EASTER MORNING!! BRAYLEE'S FIRST EASTER!!



Braylee with her Easter basket and her GIANT bunny from grandma and grandpa allen.





Easter camping with my parents!


Lately, all of our pictures are from us being out in Kansas. These are our most recent pictures.





When Jimmy would get tired of driving, Braylee would help! :) :)
