HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY BRIDGER!

Bridger as a baby...

I can't believe Bridger turned 2 already! What a BLAST we have had these past 2 years. Bridger has brought us so much happiness into our lives. He has always been such a happy boy, and we feel so blessed that he is our son. He got to celebrate his Birthday 2 days in a row. Here are our highlights!

My Grandparents and Parents threw a family party to celebrate my Birthday and Bridges.. We had 2 cakes and cupcakes between us. Yummy!

Tagen and Eric came into town, it was really fun to see them. If you notice poor Foster crying his eyes out.. It's because Bridger grabbed his face and scratched it right before the picture. I guess the 2 year old age is really kicking in, ughhh!

If you don't already know, Tagen is pregnant.. Yahhhh!! I'm so excited for them, I can't even explain it. This pic is of my Grandpa doing his Gender prediction. He uses a string and a needle tied to it, and it depends on what way the needle turns. It's pretty hiliarious. He did it on me and he was right on guessing me having 2 boys. Tagen's prediction wasssss a GIRL.. so I guess will see if he's right in a couple months.

BRIDGER'S FUN BIRTHDAY!

DINOSAUR MUSEUM

We had a packed full of fun on Bridger's Birthday. My parents really made it so much fun. We first hit the Dinosaur Museum in Thanksgiving point. It is a really fun place for kids, and we had to drag Mike out of there. It had a ton of interesting stuff there.

Bridger and Grandma on a Dinosaur foot!

Bridger is obsessed with the movie Finding Nemo, so he was pretty excited about this shark! My Mom is doing a pretty good shark face:)

They had a cool area where you can dig for dinosaur bones, it's pretty neat!

Bridger got bored pretty fast digging for bones, so he started rolling around in the sand and throwing it...

LIBERTY PARK

We stopped by Liberty Park and it was such a fun place. I hadn't been there since I was a kid. They have a ton of fun things there for kids. We loved the little streams they have all over with little pools that kids can play in, and it's really clean. Bridger also chased the Geese all over, and he started eating the food off the ground that was being thrown for them, so we had to leave:)

We then got Bridger a steak at Texas Roadhouse! What a great day.. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Can you say FUN in ELKO NEVADA!

We have had a great week. Mike's Family all got together to say goodbye to his Sister and family who are moving out of the country for 3 years. We had a blast being all together.. We went up to Elko where Mike is from. I'm lucky to have married into such a fun family.

Here's Mike's siblings(minus 1 brother)

Here's his sister and her darling family. We will miss them sooo much!

Bridger surrounded by all of his CUTE GIRL cousins..

No Halloween didn't already come.. We just found these costumes at our Aunt Steph and Uncle Jeffs house and we somehow all ended up in crazy outfits.. My favorite are the guys!

Boating fun!

Bridger and Erilyn loved playing with Uncle Frank.

Foster 1 month old! He is such a good baby. We feel so blessed that he is apart of our family.

All the Great Grandkids with sweet Grandma O.

Bridger would not leave Uncle Jeff alone. He followed him everywhere. I think he reminded him of my dad.

Parker Reunion

We had a great family reunion this year up at my Aunt and Uncles house in Cache Valley. They have the perfect spot, with a river in there backyard up in the mountains. I told Mike I would love to end up in that area after vet school. It reminds me a lot of Wyoming.

Almost all the Great Grandkids! From Youngest to Oldest. The bottom 3 kids were all born in September 2006.

Foster snoozing.. That's pretty much what he did the whole time!

Payton and Bridger sliding down the slip in slide on my Dad. These guys have the perfect hill to slide down. Bridger was quite obsessed! We couldn't get him to stop, we finally had to stop him after he was shaking and his lips were purple.

Mike's turn as the water mat with Elle, Payton, and Bridge.

I love this Picture! If you look up on the deck you'll see 3 cute girls doing a play for my beautiful cousin Christa... and then you look on the steps at the boys Bridger and Hudson.. I can only imagine what their thinking. "What's the deal with Girls..."


BRIDGER TRYING OUT EACH STEP!

I captured Bridger trying out each step.. Take a look.

This one might be a little more comfortable..


NAAAHH...

Lets try this one... and then he proceeded to throw the plants out of the way to make more room...

At that point none of us could stop laughing, and that's when he realized that we were all watching him.

My sweet Dad with his 2nd Grandson..

My Fun and Cute Mom with Fosty! She broke her arm right before I had Foster.. She got hit by a Jet Blast. Go to her blog and check out the story! It's pretty hilarious.. Only my Mom!

This is my Aunt Suzi to the right and my Grandma next to her. Both Amazing women, and I would love to be just like them. They put together an Awesome reunion.. and as you can tell they're both wiped out. Also my cute Cousin Paige is in the background, and she is Awesome!

Here's more of the Damn Fam..

and More!! I love my Family so much.

We're Finally Home!!!

We finally made it home after a week in the hospital!! Little Foster recovered pretty fast. I ended up staying the whole time in the hospital with him. I really enjoyed my time with my sweet little guy, but I don't miss going up and down the halls and scrubbing up everytime just to see him. He is an easy going little baby, and we are so happy he is apart of our family now. Thank you for all your calls and visits, and we're especially thankful for your prayers!

1 week old!

Bridger wasn't able to see his little brother the whole time he was in the hospital, so he was pretty excited to see him, but he is still not quite sure about him moving in.

My sweet boys!

HOSPITAL MEMORIES

We spent quite a bit of time in our hospital room. Here are the boys watching a movie.

Garrett and Hetty came and visited.

We were laughing about how we thought baby Foster kinda looked like Garrett because they both have receding hair lines. I told Garrett I wanted to take a pic of them together, so he started looking all over the room, and we were trying to figure out what he was looking for. Then the nurse came in and he told her he wanted to find something like the feeding tube Foster had in, so she just gave him a feeding tube. We laughed so hard at him.. Only Garrett would do that!!!

Bridger snoozing on the hospital bed. Ohhh we're so happy to be home!
