-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

-

Oh Yeah,

and we were so very excited,especially Bridger:) to find out that you are a

BOY!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

We spent Christmas Eve at Mike's Dads.

It's always a good time with his fam.

We had wonderful Korean food.

aaahh I'm dreaming of it now!

We tried taking about 10 pictures and they all turned out hilarious.

So I put the best looking one of us up. Ha!

Christmas Morning!!
Bridger woke up early and we could not wake Foster up for the life of ourselves!!
I let Bridger open 1 present, but the anticipation was killing him!!
So, finally at 9 I pulled Foster out of bed and i was only able to wake him up with bribeing him with candy..

What a fun morning we had..
The presents were shredded open in 1 minute and then it was a lot of play!


It was so fun having Erin and James spend Christmas morning with us.

Foster's big surprise!

This has been the only thing he has asked for,

other then a Birthday Cake!

I think this will be some great entertainmet to come.

As long as we can go without anyone getting hurt.

Lounging on Uncle James, enjoying Toy Story 3.

WYOMING

We then headed to Wyoming to spend with my fam.

My favorite times are when the boys play/wrestle together..

And this is where Bridger spent most of his time!!

With his Grandma who had knee replacement surgery a couple days before Christmas.

Honestly the whole week he layed with her...

Giving her kisses, watching a lot of movies, and just giving her love.
He has always had a special bond with my Mom that I have never seen with anyone else.

He just adores her!

Foster wanted to be here on 4 wheeler with Papa!

It was -20 degrees while we were there..

Insane! But so darn Beautiful!

The boys love climbing up on the hay in the barn.

Some good entertainment!

We did some of this

Nose hair frozen- check!

The guys spooned on the tube

Uncle Eric is a great guy..

Who the kids are drawn too.

Fed the horses some Christmas treats

Tag and the horses

Now meet Jack the horse..

Who can be a pain in the A

He runs from everyone that goes out to catch him.

We usually have to let him run for about 20 minutes before he calms down to be caught and we have him cornered.

Well we were out petting the horses, and Bridger runs right up to him and just starts petting him and Jack doesn't move a muscle!

It was a miracle!!!!

Bridger stood and pet him for about a half hour and Jack never moved and you could tell with his demeanor that he was really enjoying the pets and love.

It shocked us all!!
