Brynnlee Lenesa Reynolds

Born 11:30 am

8 lbs, 20 inches

After a little coaxing Brynnlee came into this world a day early. We are so excited to have her join our family, the kids couldn't be more proud to have a new sister. Parker actually got upset that he couldn't take her home the first day.

Yea! We have Nana!!

He did help Nana get a party ready for her "birthday" party at home with cupcakes, presents, treats and pictures. The cupcakes say "Welcome home Mom and Brynnlee."

More pictures to come but I need to sleep while I can. Enjoy!

Waiting . . .

There's not much new to post but I feel a little neglectful not posting anything for more than a month I've been just waiting and getting ready for our new little present. Which by the way here is her most recent photo. We had a little scare on the 13th, when she just wasn't moving for about 12 hours. We went in and she's just peachy, I guess she just needed a long nap. The Ultrasound guy was impressed with her position and he got a really good picture (our best so far) of her face.

Since I last posted we've had Father's Day, a trip to SLC and Lots of fun in the sun. Here are a few of the fun pictures we've taken.

FATHERS DAY

Quinntin got a little different Father's Day this year we gave him all his toys and then left him alone to enjoy the weekend all by himself. (Don't worry he enjoyed the peace and quiet.)

Hoogle Zoo

While Daddy was at home relaxing we were playing with our Nana and our Aunt Leesa and her granddaughter Cambrie. We went to the Zoo and had a blast.

Sun Bathers

Rocking Out

This is just a fun picture of Kora and her love of music. She really wanted to listen to mom's IPOD and so we set it all up for her. I was amazed at how focused she was trying to sing to the Children's Playlist I have set up on my IPOD.

What I've been Doing While Pregnant

Most prego mothers have the nesting need to clean and organize. This pregnant mom has been crafty beyond reason. Since I found out I was pregnant these are the projects I've finished and are still working on.

Crocheting around a receiving blanket and I think a total of 4 burp rags so far . . .

Kora didn't want to be left out so she has new shoulder strap pads for her car seat and a really soft play blanket. . . .

I saw one of these car seat covers and thought I'd figure out if I could make one, I also made a Boppy cover for the new little one. . .

I finally finished piecing and quilting Kora's big girl blanket . . .

Parker asked me to make something out of this cute dinosaur material so he now has a place for all his toys in the car, especially since he will have to sit in the very back of the Explorer soon. The magnet board I found at the DI just waiting to be painted and put together, the kids helped me with the magnet gems too. Finally I made a nursing cover with this adorable remnant fabric I found at Walmart.

So that's it so far, it's a good thing my kids still take really good daytime naps and I have a really patient husband or else all this craftiness wouldn't have been possible.

Never too late to blog

Okay so I'm a slacker! I haven't really sat down at a computer longer than 15 mintues for quite a while now and there's so much I haven't blogged. Here's a run down of the fun we've had these last few months. Easter was a blast at Nana'a house, we searched for eggs, and dyed both boiled and raw eggs. (they got into the mix) We even got the Easter Bunny to come to Nana's house. The kids had a blast with their cousins and all the great food.

The kids got to spend almost a week with thier Nana and Papa while their parents had to go back to Cedar City. They had fun at the Zoo, having sleepovers with their second cousin Cambrie and partying into the wee hours.

We are still waiting patiently waiting for our new little bundle of joy and the kids aren't sure if the wait will ever end. We only have 3 months left and I'm finally looking a little prego.

(Yea! the pictures took awhile but they're on)

Bold New Look

So I've been debating on what to do with Kora's hair. I give Parker and Quinntin cuts all the time and I don't think they look too shabby but Kora's locks scare me. I didn't know what to do or if I had enough guts to just try. Well here's the result.

I think it's cute.

Everyone Celebrate! Kora's 2!!

Kora turned 2 on Wednesday and we celebrated in our own small way with balloons all over the floor, pink cupcakes and some fun polka wrapped presents. Grandma Gray, Uncle Dayne and the Cronin family visited us to help celebrate. Kora loved her new clothes, her new backpack, musical jewelery box and dance clothes. She was definitely the Princess today! Thanks to Nana and Papa, Great Grandma Smith, Aunt Dot and the Utley family for their sent cards and packages Kora had so much fun opening them.

P.S. Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds, and to Great Grandma Smith this picture is for you.

Our Kora knew exactly what she wanted to do with her birthday cash.

Family Bowling

We wanted to do something as a family the other night and we thought, "Hey, we haven't ever bowled together."

Parker was so excited he could barely keep it in.

Kora on the other hand wasn't so sure what all the hype was all about. Parker bowled from start to finish while Kora was a little more interested in finishing off her French Fries and dancing.

Quinntin and I have decided we are definitely in it for the experience because we CAN NOT bowl, at all. We probably took advantage of the bumpers as much as the kids did!
