Bridger update

Bridger is getting so big! He's about 3 1/2 months old now and he already weighs 12 lbs. We can hardly remember when he was a newborn and it was just a few months ago! Time goes by way too fast. He is smiling all the time now, babbling, laughing, and holding his head up all by himself. Here are a few new pictures and a video of him:

Happy Mother's Day!

I think I have a new favorite holiday--Mother's Day! Jake and Bridger were so good to me today! First off I got to sleep in until 9:30 while Jake took care of Bridger. Then Jake brought me breakfast in bed--a egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich, chocolate milk, and a grapefruit--it was delicious! Jake and Bridger also gave me a bouquet of tulips and some beautiful frames for Bridger's baby pictures. I was so spoiled! After church we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Hart's with both of my grandmas there. We had a yummy dinner, opened presents, and visited with our family the rest of the evening. It was a great day!

Bridger and Mommy on Mother's Day. He was getting a little grumpy by this time. I love this little guy SOOOO much and I'm very grateful to be his mom! I couldn't have wished for a better baby.

We gave my mom a picture of all the grandkids on my side of the family. We were lucky to get a good picture of all of them 'cause Ivy had a meltdown and we thought we weren't going to get any good shots. Bridger was so good the whole time Makenzie held him which was about 30 minutes.

We love our moms!

Happy Mother's Day, LynnAdele! Thanks for being such a wonderful mom, mother-in-law, and grandma. We love you so much! You are such a great example to us and we're grateful we belong together. We wish we could see you more often!! We hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!



Happy Mother's Day, Laurel! We are so blessed to have such amazing moms. You have helped out so much since Bridger was born and we're thankful for all you do for us. Thanks for being so wonderful! We love you!!

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter! Here are a few pictures from the day:

We had a nice Easter dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Hart's. All the grandkids were there so we got some cute pictures.

Bridger got his own Easter basket even though he can't even eat the candy.

We took Bridger to get his pictures taken in his cute little Easter outfit. He was so tired 'cause it was naptime but he woke up for a minute and smiled once for us. What a good baby!

What a cutie!

Man, I love this little boy!!

Bridger and his girl cousins

The girls came over to visit the other day and got to see Bridger again. Here's a cute picture of Ivy, Eliza, Makenzie, and Bridger. What cute cousins he has!

Ivy is only about 8 pounds heavier than Bridger. Pretty soon he will be bigger than she is!

Eliza holding Bridger and admiring his tiny feet.

Makenzie is so good with babies! She will be the best babysitter. She's practically ready to babysit already and she's only six!

Bridger meets the Nielsens

All of Jake's side of our family came to Utah for Bridger's blessing. He was so excited to meet his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! We have a family picture above our couch that Bridger always stares at so I think he recognized everyone. We had a wonderful time being together that weekend and we're grateful to have such a supportive family.

Bridger meeting Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen for the first time. It only took a second for them to fall in love with him!

Grandma Nielsen and Bridger.

I love this picture of Craig and Bridger! You can't see it but Bridger's little onsie says "I love my Grandpa!"

Brandy is finally an aunt! She has been a mom for over eight years and now she gets to say she's an aunt too.

And James is now an uncle.

We tried to get some pictures of all the grandsons but of course it was hard to get them all looking at one camera. I thought this picture was cute! Braxton, Kobee, Dylan, and Bridger.

Kobee was SO excited to meet his little cousin! Brandy said that he was counting down the days until they were coming to meet "Brittney's baby." He was so cute with Bridger and wanted to hold him all the time. What a good cousin!

Uncle Zach and Bridger

Uncle Vernon and Bridger

For some reason I didn't get a picture of Misty and Bridger on his blessing day but she got to come over a few weeks earlier and meet him so this is a picture from then. We also learned that Misty and Vernon are expecting so Bridger will get another cousin this year! Yay!


Here's a picture of Bridger and his mom and dad and Grandma and Grandpa Nielsen after his Blessing.

Bridger's blessing

Bridger was blessed last Sunday. We had such a wonderful day (besides the fact that I forgot to cook the chicken when I was supposed to and I burnt the rice krispie treats)! Jake's family was able to be here and we were so grateful that they all traveled here to support us. Bridger was such a handsome little boy in his white outfit! He was so good during sacrament meeting and the blessing. He only cried out once when he accidentally got poked by Grandma's broach. :) Jake gave a wonderful blessing and I just cried through the whole thing. I am so grateful to have the gospel in our lives especially as we raise this sweet little boy. Here are a few pictures:
