Memoirs of A Maegan

A few of my buddies are doing this and I thought it was a cute idea.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

EVERYBODY PLAY! I want to see what memories are out there!

One month later

Bryson is 1 month old today. Wow! It is crazy how someone that has been with you for such a short time can seem like they have been with you forever. But at the same time, I can't believe it has been a month. I have already forgotten what it was like without him. I can sit and just stare at him and I am amazed every time. It really is a complete miracle, from his old man hair-do down to his long little toes. The boys just adore him, and I love watching them interact with each other. My house may be a mess, and I may only get a shower every 3 or 4 days, and not get dressed till noon, but I love my little Bry guy and wouldn't have it any other way!



I have this picture of Jackson sitting up in the couch on his one month birthday, so I took one with Landon too, and now I am adding Bryson to the tradition. Not the best picture, but it's fun to compare the three.

Bryson

Landon

JacksonI would say he is a mix of the two, what do you think?

Camping Weekend

We went up Logan canyon camping for the fourth. The kids had a blast, and it was a good little break.

I call this 'blue steel'

A quick attempt to get a pic of all three. Notice, Jackson's zipper is down, and yes that is a gun that Landon is so happily pointing into his mouth.Our cute little trailer, which we seem to be outgrowing already, and the reason for the SUV instead of a minivan.

Landon, doing what he does best, eating.

I had to test out my dad's new bike that my grandpa gave him for father's day. Sweet ride.

Kenny and Jack went fourwheeling, They were some dirty, dirty boys when they got back!

So of course we had to head over to Bear Lake so they could wash off.

That's my cousin's twin boys with Jackson.

We had a such a good time, Thanks everyone! And Bryson did fantastic, you hardly knew he was there!

Random catch up

Just sharing pictures and playing catch up! Bryson turned two weeks old on Tuesday! We went for his his checkup and all is well. He weighs 6 lb 13 oz, which isn't huge but he is past his birth weight! Jackson and Landon have been doing so good. They really don't bug him at all, they are more concerned about him than anything.

All buckled in! Of course we have to have a car seat picture!

Landon got his first black eye last week. It's slowly fading now, but for a while it just looked like he had some eye shadow on.

My new ride. My vehicles keep getting bigger with every kid we have!

First bath at home. As you can tell, he wasn't a fan.

Here's the boys on the tramp, one of their many things their dad has spoiled them with in the backyard.

And just cute Bryson. He gets sweeter everyday!

I just love baby yawns!

While you were sleeping...

I just love the faces they make while sleeping. I wonder what he was dreaming? I think there was a part in there were he was tasting a lemon.

Bryson's home!

Yeah! We got home yesterday about 4:00 with our little boy. Jackson and Landon were very excited to finally meet their little brother. Landon would not stop kissing him. He has a cough right now too, so I'm gonna have to watch that boy.

I realize I have yet to get a picture with his eyes open. I am working on it.

Getting closer

Bryson is doing fantastic! I was able to nurse him on Friday and he did very well. Now I go for as many feedings as I can. He is completely off the I.V. and oxygen. He is eating so good. He did develop a little jaundice so the doctor put him under lights starting yesterday. They checked his levels today and they dropped way down so he came out of the lights this morning. They just have to check them again in the morning and as long as they stay down, we get to bring him home tomorrow! We are so excited! He will finally get to meet his big brothers! Then the excitement will really start! Thanks again for everyone's thoughts and prayers and for checking up on us. I don't know what we would have done without such great family and friends.
