You know you've had a crazy week when:

-take 3 packs of pop outside and throw it all over the driveway watching it explode..

(fun right?!)

-

#2 child runs nude all through the park

-#1&2 take the paint outside and make designs all over the driveway

(which i can't get off!)

-

-#1&2 figure out how to do front flips off our bed

-

-#2 climb up on top of the suburban and pull on the garage door and break it

-

-#2 pulls pants down in front yard and pees all over flowers

-

-go shopping with all 3(big mistake) i was yelling all through the store(yes i'm one of those mom's i swore i wasn't going to be!)throwing random crap in as quickly as i could, sweating profusely, and finally paying for everything.. i stormed all the way out to my car I put the baby in and Bridger and then i discover Foster stole a pack of gum!! aaahhh so the crazy women packs all 3 kids back into the cart, with baby crying and 2 wild boys hanging off the cart i head back into the store to return a stinkin pack of gum!!!!!!!

-

and last but not least!!

-

Catching Foster knawing on a frozen pork loin out of it's package!!!

(luckily he didn't get sick!!)

-

Also my darling baby wants to be held constantly..

The moment i lay him down he cries.

Don't get me wrong i LOVE holding him.. but

This is hard when you have 2 mischevious brothers who are constantly finding crazy things to do..

i can make it through this crazy time!!! lol

THey love Brody.
They constantly want to hold him and make him smile...

i love these goofy boys

THey help remind me that you can't take life to serious.
My life is never dull..

Gotta love trying to get a family pic

Brody Duff

Our special little guy came to us on June 21st!

I started feeling labor pains Tuesday night.

We took the boys on a walk to see the goats and i could barely walk around..

I stayed up all night timing the contractions and we decided to go in around 3:30 in the morning.

Our awesome neighbor Emily come over and stayed with the boys, until my mom got there.

It was such an awesome experience.. I lucked out with an amazing nurse Kathy!

i got my glorious epidural and then they broke my water quickly after. I soon realized that the epidural only worked on 1 side! It was too late. I was already fully ready and pushed 2 times and our special baby boy Brody came!!
He was 7 pds 9 oz, and 21 inches long.

Here's my doctor Dr. Bierer, and another great nurse.

Here's our sweet boy

Brother's came to visit and they were soooo excited!! The week before Bridger kept asking me non stop.. "Mom, why haven't you gone to the hospital yet to get my brother out??" You should hurry mom.. I want to play super hero's with him.."
Foster had quite a tantrum at the hospital.. I think he realized that now he is a middle child!

THey loved watching Brody's first diaper change with the Tar poop..

Brody has long feet, big hands and lots of hair!

One happy brother!!!!

WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UPTO?

-FOSTER-

Bed Head

-Foster started sleep walking
(we keep finding him in random places dead a sleep,
like in the hall and bridger's bed)
-not potty trained yet(sweet i know)
- asks me at least 50 times a day for candy or popsicles
-catches bugs daily with his bro

-BRIDGER-

-loves eating honey mustard on bread(no meat, just mustard!)
-starts the morning off everyday with catching bugs

-just started loving Star Wars now!(horray for me)

-MIKE-

Has been working nonstop on our yard.

He put in our sprinklers, grass, and fence.

He has impressed me with his skills.
Thanks to my Pops who has helped a ton!

-ME-

Yes, I'm large I know.

No, Random Strangers I'm not expecting twins or triplets, so quit asking!

Baby #3 still doesn't have a name..

But, we are so very excited for him to come soon!!
i have just been super busy with these crazy boys, and getting bigger by the hour.

-BRIDGER'S GRADUATION-

Bridger has impressed me with all the things he has learned at Preschool! He has had so much fun. Here is his cute class

Everyone is moving onto Kindergarten, but Bridge has a late Birthday, so he gets another fun year with Miss Kirstin.

Wyoming Grandma and Papa came to support!

Bridger's whole face lightened up when he saw them come in..
Of course Foster seeked out and stole the candy and cupcakes

Grandma told Bridger the other day that she was going to give Bridger $4 for being 4 years old and graduating preschool, and Bridger said, uuuhhh, how about $10?(smart little dude)

So, Bridge lucked out and grandma gave him the $10 and he was so excited.

-FROGGY-

Bridger caught his first frog in our front yard.

He loved his frog, and took care of him 1 whole day.. until it leaped out of his hand and back to his frog family.

We went and visited Aunt Tagen the other day.

The boys get so excited!

Bridger loves her little tomatoes, and yard.

Foster loves the kittys and playing with his Aunt and Uncle.

T-BALL

It's so fun to go and watch this cute kid play T-ball.

Bridge has a great arm, and he runs like a super hero. He isn't super agressive, which is ok with me!

Gram and Gramps came to see his awesome skills

Bridger was so excited to find a potato bug on 1st base,

and had to run all the way home with it.

Foster loves to go watch his big bro play.

I'm excited to see Foster play on a team one day too..

I'm sure he will be a bit more agressive:)

Dear-

Baby #3-

I still remember the day we found out we're pregnant with you. It was in the fall 2010 and I was planting flowers. I wasn't feeling to swell, so I decided to go use one of my All of Dollar pregnancy tests. I took it and there were 2 faint lines.. I literally jumped up in the air with excitment!

I have been so happy and grateful(i cry often thinking about it) to have this opportunity to be your mom. I know so many people who are close to me that have struggled for along time to have children(as did your Dad and I back in the day). I think of them often, and my heart aches for them...

I never want to take you or your brothers for granted. Ever!
-
-
Here are some fun things and not so fun things we have done while you are chillen in the my belly.
-
-My Cravings-
I have craved Mexican food daily..
You and I have enjoyed:
Lots of Rancherito's Bean and cheese burritos., Cafe Rio salads
-Mexi-Icecreams from Taco Time
-Spicy Ramen Noodles
-Sugar straw candy

-6 weeks ultrasound-
You looked a little like a blob. Your heart was barely beating. I was nervous, but praying often for you to be healthy.

-9 weeks ultrasound-
Started looking like a cute alien, and heart was beating very fast. Doctor said you looked healthy so far. i was very relieved...

-13 weeks ultrasound-
You look like a beautiful tiny baby now! They checked for problems with the spine and heart and everything looked great!

14 weeks-
I started to feel your crazy kicks!! It made me happy.

-17 weeks-
You look so big and beautiful/handsome.. We found out if you were a girl or a boy.. Your dad and i were so happy!!

I know you will love your crazy superhero BIG Brothers..

They make me laugh everyday.

Bridger said from day 1 that you were a BOY, and if you were a girl your name would be poopy...

and Foster said, "No, you were a GIRL... and he wants to play with your hair and cuddle you."

Foster decided to flush a toy down the toliet..

Dad looks very happy doesn't he?

It got stuck.. Really stuck.

and your Dad had to take the whole toliet off to get the stinkin thing out.

Here is the toy..

a tiny little pig.

( i wonder how in the heck did this little tiny pig clog the toliet??)

Your Dad would be so very happy if you didn't flush things down the toliet.

You have the greatest Dad in the whole world!

Once he gets home from work there is non-stop wrestling and play.

I know you will love him..

We hung(and threw) Christmas decorations on our tree this year.

We usually go and hike in 4 feet of snow and cut down our own tree.

This year we didn't make it to the mountains and we bought it at Home Depot.

Our tree ended up dying 3 days later..

Yeah, from now on we will keep our tradition of going to Wyoming and cutting our own tree!
You will love it!

Please don't use this light saber as a weapon

on a window..
Foster decided it would be so very fun to hit and hit a window until it broke..
Not a good idea, it made Mom very very mad..

Your brothers love to be silly, have juicy, and hang in there underwear together..

You will love to go to Wyoming because you can drive in big tractors with Papa..
Your brothers do.

Your brother Foster(who is 2) got on ski's for his 1st time this year.
Oh how he loved it.
He flew down the mountain with a big cheesy grin..


You will love ALL your Papa's and Grandma's,
and Aunt's and Uncles,
and Cousins.
You're a lucky boy to have all of them.

Dad will give you many piggy back rides..

Here goes Fost!

You will enjoy all the mountain adventures we have..

Bridger does!

Bridger has been skiing for 2 years now and he loves it.

i look forward to the day of all of us skiing together as a family.

I did that as kid, every saturday..

We headed up to good ol' Powder Mountain.

My mom had her corduroy ski pants on, my dad had his big mustache, and Aunt Tagen and I had our bright lime green ski pants and neon pink neck warmers.

We would fly down the mountain all day long, and take a break and eat chili and cheese fries, and on the way home we we would always stop and get Jakes over the Top icecream.

It was one of the greatest memories i had as a child.

We can't wait for you to join our crazy, but fun family..

We are definitely never bored in the Ostrander House.

(and we take some beautiful family pictures:) he he
