Avery Loves Landon!

My Sweet Angel's !!

I feel so blessed to have two precious kids! I couldn't imagine life without them!

FINALLY HOME!

It was a rough weekend commnuting back and forth from the hospital, but Avery could only take being there a few hours at a time. She is warming up to her little brother especially since we brought him home today. She is much more intrigued and willing to help out. You got to love them at this age when they start understanding and can take orders: Avery go the diapers or Avery get the remote. She obeys with exactness and proud to have helped, well maybe 70% of the time. (Not to bad for just under 2) Landon has been pretty mild and easy going, he too also listens very well, I told him to not move while i left the room and he didn't budge. (Sometimes I wish Avery were still in the pet rock phase a lot more would be accomplished) Ali and the babe are both doing well. Ali is quite the "Cash Cow" already producing liquid gold like it is going out of style, if she keeps up this rate we will need to buy another fridge next month. All the nurses at the hospital were in amazment of how much she was producing, I have never seen such excitment over breast milk. I will admit I am going to miss the hospital in a few ways. It sure was nice to have someone watching your kid all night long feeding him and changing his diapers, I guess it was time to pass the torch to Dad while Ali recovers. I will also miss the free reign we had on the snack closet full of juice, oreo's and those amazing Lorna Dunn cookies. (I may have packed out a dozen or two with all our stuff when we left, hey at $400+ a night can you blame me? So don't judge me) Any who here are a few new pictures to enjoy.

More pictures of Landon

Landon Scott English 4.24.09

Here is a little bit of info and some pictures to enjoy until i have more time to do a slide show. Landon Scott English born 4.24.09 @ 12:55pm, Weighs 7lbs 4oz (Much larger than anyone expected) 19.5 inches tall. He was pretty lively right out of the gate showing off his new set of lungs. On the APGAR scale he was a 9. (Activity, Pulse, Grimace, Appearance & Respiration)He has some dark wavy/curly hair and a mad chin quiver. Mom and Baby are both doing great!

Baby Landon update

Just to give everyone an update, Ali did not have the baby yet. The Dr. was expecting to induce her on Tuesday but after doing an ultra sound we were surprised to find out that the baby had showed sugnificant growth over the last 2 weeks and the fuild level was also high. THe Dr. was happy with what he saw and said that we are going to wait a little longer. THe game plan now is to wait for Ali to go into labor naturally if she does not by 4/23 the Dr. will do a C-section on Friday the 24th. THe ultra sound estimated Landon to be about 6lbs 4oz but he thinks that the baby is smaller than that.

Baby Landon...WIll he arrive today?

Well, there is a good chance that baby Landon will make his appearance in this crazy world today. Alison's Dr. appointment is at 3:30pm and we will find out then. Last week Ali stopped growing (Same thing that Aver did) and the Dr. said he wanted the baby to "cook" for one more week and to plan on having a baby on the 14th. Unless there is some miraculous growth during this week. Who knows?? For me I think today will be the day. We also finished the decor in Landon's room, it turned out pretty cool.

Baby Landon's Room

Scott and I are done with the baby's room, with the exception of the decorating part. Scott and I are so excited about welcoming a little boy into our family!

Avery's Favorite Things!

I'm too tired to get back in bed!

One night after Scott and I had gotten avery to sleep we were down stairs watching a movie and we heard a thud coming from Avery's room. So when we went upstairs to see what was going on we noticed that Avery was sound asleep on the floor. I guess she had fallen out of bed and was just too tired to get back in bed so she just stayed on the floor and continued sleeping.

Avery loves her stuffed animals!

Avery loves her stuffed animals! She always sleeps with her pig stuffed animal it is her favorite! Well one night she decided that she needed to have a few more friends in bed with her. After Scott and I had put her to bed with her pig we checked in on her a little bit later and noticed that she had gotten out of bed and brought about 10 more stuffed animals out of the basket and put them in bed with her, and went to sleep. It was one of the cutest things so I had to take a picture!

I love my Daddy!

One of avery's favorite things to do is get on daddy's back and have him go around the house to take her for a ride. It is so cute! Avery loves her Daddy!

I am an instuctor in the relief society, and I have the wonderful oppertunity to teach the lessons from the general conference talks (TFOT). Today my lesson way from president Monson's talk " Finding joy in the journey". What a wonderful talk it was! It talks about no matter what changes good or bad we go thru in life, or challenges whatever they may be that we endure, we need to relish in life and find joy in everything! I was so grateful for the oppertunity to teach this lesson, it was probably one of my favorite talks I have taught from! We are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for! Don't let the hussel and bussel of life keep us from enjoying the moments with our loved ones! Let us remember what is truly important in life, so that we don't find ourselves full of regret because we thought we would have all the time in the world to do everything we want to do. My favorite quote in this talk is "You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you’ve collected a lot of empty yesterdays" let us enjot the journey now! This video is a perfect example of why it is so important to enjoy every moment we have with our loved ones, and be thankful for what we have! I know it has made me rethink what is important to me, and hope it does the same for you! Just click on the link YouTube - 99 ballons above, and it takes you to youtube.
