Bridger and his sunglasses

Whenever we're driving in the car and Bridger sees me with sunglasses on he HAS to have them. When I give them to him he puts them on his neck and he thinks they're on right. The other day I looked back to see him like this:

Silly boy!

Bridger's 1st Haircut

Okay, so it wasn't exactly his first haircut. My cousin, Ali, trimmed his hair for me last time I got my hair done but I didn't take any pictures and I didn't save any hair so this will have to do. I'm no professional but Bridger did such a great job of sitting still that it wasn't too bad. Jake just kept feeding him Cheetos to make him be good. Here's the before picture: (Notice Jake in back of Bridger trying to hide)

And here are the after pictures:

What a handsome boy! Ignore the Cheeto face.

We did it! Looks like Mommy needs a little help with her hair now!

Mother's Day

My second Mother's Day was wonderful! I think it's my new favorite holiday.

It started off with some roses from Jake and Bridger and breakfast in bed.

Jakey made me some yummy pancakes, grapefruit, and orange juice.
Don't I look lovely at 7:00 in the morning?

Bridger woke up just in time to have breakfast in bed with us.

After church we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Hart's for dinner. We had a delicious meal and had fun being together! Grandma and Grandpa Smith were there too. Later on we went on a little walk with Bridger and Porter, Jake, Barry, my mom, and my dad. We stopped by Grandma Smith's for a bit and then we went up to Grandma Hart's to wish her a Happy Mother's Day. We just wish we could have been with Jake's mom too!

Baby #2

We just found out today that we're having another BOY!! Yay! Bridger is going to have a baby brother to play with. I couldn't be happier. I always did want to have two of the same sex in a row (more than two in a row, that's another story!). I thought it was going to be a boy again because I had a couple of dreams right before the ultrasound and the babies were always boys. I also thought this because we don't have ANY boy names picked out but we had a definite girl name. Dang! Any suggestions on boy names that you won't mind me using would be appreciated. I'll try to post some pictures or video of the ultrasound soon.

Time to go private

I got some weird comments recently from a user I don't know so I'm going to make my blog private. Leave me your email address if you'd like to be invited to look at our blog. I'll wait about a week before I send emails to everyone. Thanks!

Happy Easter!

We had fun dying Easter eggs together Saturday morning before conference. Bridger wanted to help so bad but I could see a disaster waiting to happen if I let him so he just had to sit and watch.

Mommy and Bridger

The Easter Bunny hides our whole basket at our house. I always try to think of hard places to hide Jake's basket so he can't find it all day. This year I had a great plan...I hid his basket at the bottom of the laundry basket and put the dirty clothes over it (pretty gross, I know). Unfortunately, while he was hiding my basket he had the same great idea and found his basket right away--the little stinker!

It was great having General Conference fall on Easter Sunday! I love conference and it was a perfect time to reflect on the Gospel and our Savior.

Jake had a hard time staying awake but that didn't stop Bridger from playing with him.

Bridger's Easter Basket. His favorite candy was the Sour Patch Kids.

Later on we went to my parents' house to watch more conference and eat a yummy meal! Then we visited Grandpa Nielsen and took him an Easter basket. Later that night we went to Grandma Donna's for a FHE about conference. It's always my favorite FHE of the year!

Sledding in April

We've had some crazy weather here this April! We woke up to a few inches of snow on April Fools day. Heavenly Father likes to play tricks too it looks like. Bridger and I decided to do a little sledding for the last time of the season. We didn't have a sled so my dad just pulled him around in this plastic pool. Bridger loved it! The snow is great but hopefully Spring will decide to grace us with her presence sometime soon.

Some fun news...

Bridger is going to be a BIG BROTHER!! Yay! We found out during the week we were babysitting our neighbor's six kids! That whole week I kept telling Jake we're not having anymore kids since it was so crazy with six. Well, Heavenly Father had other plans. It seemed like he was laughing in Heaven when I took a pregnancy test and it was positive! Of course, I couldn't be happier! It will be so fun to have Bridger and this baby so close together. I'm due Sept. 29th so they'll be about 19 months apart. Here's a picture of Bridger right after I told him the fun news:

Doesn't he look excited? He's going to be a wonderful big brother.

Right after I found out I went out to lunch with some of my girl cousins. I promised myself I wouldn't tell them but of course the subject of having babies came up and I said, "Speaking of having babies, I just had a positive pregnancy test!" They all laughed 'cause I couldn't keep the secret for more than half and hour! I told them I was on my way to tell Jake so I needed some ideas. Bridger and I stopped at the store and got some balloons and a poster and markers and then went to Jake's work to surprise him.

We wrote this little poem and had Jake come meet us out in the car. Jake was SO excited!

Bridger told his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins by wearing this t-shirt. What a cutie!
