Welcome baby Niya

We welcomed our baby girl on September 15th. She is such a wonderful baby. We had a little adventure getting her here but everything worked out and she couldn't be more perfect! Tate is the best big brother, he absolutely loves his little sister.

Update

We are expecting our second child and are so excited about it!! The little one is due September 21st. This pregnancy has been so different then with Tate, I have been sick almost the whole time so far. I am hoping that now that I am in the second trimester that will come to an end soon. We waited to tell the family until yesterday, I had a puzzle made from a picture of Tate wearing his big brother shirt and holding the pictures form the ultrasound. It was fun to watch everyone's reaction. We told everyone that Tate made the puzzle in primary to give to his grandparents. My dad caught on right away as well as my sister but everyone else took a minute looking at it to figure out what it meant. Dave's dad looked at it and said, I don't get it, his shirt says big brother and the pictures look like ultrasounds but I don't get it. But he catch on. My mom was the same way, she said oh that's cute, so everyone asked her what it was a picture of and she said Tate holding ultrasound pictures of himself. We couldn't help but laugh. And I got it all on video.

A quick up-date

We have been in our new house since July now and absolutely LOVE it. It is the perfect house for us. And the perfect neighborhood, we couldn’t have asked for better neighbors and ward. I am a Beehive advisor (yikes) it has been so fun, we have a great group of girls. We haven’t done a lot to the house other than paint. We painted Tate’s room Utah Utes since he is so obsessed with them, and yes he loves it. He has to take everyone that comes over to see it. He really has loved the house which has been a blessing we were worried he wouldn’t sleep well like he was doing at my parents. But he loves it so much he even ran away from my parents house last summer and started the journey home, a couple stopped him about half a mile from my parents and the cops picked him up and took him to my parents. He told the cops he was going home. My sister was curious to see if he knew the way so she took him for a walk later and he pointed her the entire way home. Crazy if you ask me since he was only 2.5. We have the best neighbors and ward. I am a Beehive advisor and have enjoyed every minute of it. We have an amazing group of YW.

I can’t wait for spring to start on the garden and work in the yard. Dave is about to start tiling the basement bathroom. That will be so nice to have done since it’s just linoleum right now.
