So lucky!

I am so lucky! Not only do I have the cutest kids in the world, I have an amazing photographer for a cousin who is willing to pack up a SUV full of equipment, and her two year old, and drive from Grantsville to do a photo shoot for me! We did this when Mason was 10 days old. The big kids weren't in the mood and weren't exactly cooperative as you will see from the fake smiles they are sporting, but I think we got some cute shots none the less. Mason was more alert than he had been before so he presented a little bit of a challenge as well but he was a trooper. We got some super cute pictures and I had so much fun with my cuz! Thanks Emily......you really are the best.
By the way......if any of you are looking for a great photographer let me know and I will get you her info. You can also check out her blog for some more of the pics she has taken. Her blog is in my blog list under Ron and Emily.

This is when we decided Mason was done. :)

One week already!

I really can't believe Mason is already one week old. I think that knowing that this is my last baby is making me want time to stqand still. I really want him to stay little forever. He is such a good baby. We are all just loving him to pieces. We cam home last Saturday and I was so ready! It was so great to get him home and finally introduce him to his anxious big brother and sister. They were sooooo excited to meet him. They are both great helpers and so interested in what he is doing all the time. Baylee absolutely loves to get me diapers, wipes, binkies, and help me drink water while I am nursing. Aidan loves to hold him and read to him. Barry is still on vacation so he has been able to be home with us and has been such a big help. The recovery from this c-section has been harder than the other two for some reason so I have really relied on him and he has been amazing! I really don't want him to go back to work. I also have to say thank you to my parents, and Barry's parents, along with my friends and neighbors who have brought meals and helped with the kids and so much more. I really am lucky to have such awesome support!
We are just loving this guy to pieces and my heart could not be more happy!



Getting ready to leave the hospital.

The signs that Aidan and Baylee made to welcome us home. So cute!

First time holding her baby brother.

He is a natural. Such a cute big brother!

My three cute kiddos! Love them!

Aidan is learning to read and it is so cute! He wanted to read to Mason. I love moments like this!

Daddy of the year!

There is something undeniably special about a daddy and his little girl. I absolutely love to watch Barry with his little princess. I have been telling him for a long time that he is in big trouble when she gets a little older because he CANNOT tell her no and she knows it. Well yesterday Baylee asked him to paint her nails. Barry was happy to do it. The surprise twist came when she insisted that she paint his afterwards. Sure enough, he let her! lol A couple of toes on each foot anyway. They are so cute together and nothing makes my heart happier than watching them do things like this together.
On a side note......Barry had to go to the back Dr. today and was sent to get an MRI. That means that he had to get in a gown twice and both times the doctors found it quite funny that he had bright pink toenails. lol

He's Here!

Mason Berg (Middle name yet to be decided)

Born January 13, 2010

8:08 a.m.

7 lbs. 12 oz.

21 inches long

We are so happy to welcome little Mason to the world. He is absolutely perfect and couldn't be cuter. He looks just like his big brother Aidan. Our day started by getting to the hospital at 6:00 a.m. I was prepped and ready to go for our scheduled time of 7:30. Things started right on time and moved very quickly. He was born

One last Prego picture!

First pouty face, seconds after he was born.

I love this picture. You can see his cute little dimple on his right cheek and he looks so content holding daddy's finger.

Again........sucking his finger, lol

One proud Momma!

Almost there!

Well....I survived! I made it through my third (and last, lol) pregnancy. At times I wasn't sure if I would. As I sit here making sure I have everything done that I need to before tomorrow morning I can't help but be filled with emotions. These kicks and somersaults are the last I will feel. Anyone who has ever been pregnant knows there is no feeling quite like it! I don't ever want to forget the way it feels. I am sooooo excited to hold this little guy. I can't wait to find out if he looks like Aidan, Baylee, or completely different. I am excited beyond words, and scared half to death! My life is going to get a whole lot crazier and my heart a whole lot fuller. Here we go!!!! I will post pics as soon as possible.

My little Fireman!

We had such a great Sunday afernoon. My friend Reggan is married to a firefighter. For years now we have talked about going to see him at the firestation and letting Aidan see the firetruck. For some reason it has just never gotten planned until last Sunday. I am so glad we finally got it scheduled because it was the experience of a lifetime for Aidan! He was so excited he even wore his fireman costume that he had at home. J.J was so awesome to Aidan and so were the other firemen we met, even the captain. We started by getting a tour of the firetruck and getting to explore all the different compartments and stuff. Aidan was able to test out one of the fire extinguishers, and help pull out hoses and everything. While we were seeing all of this the other firefighters were making Aidans favorite lunch for all of us, grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. We took a break and went and ate lunch with all of them. It was so cool cause they talked to him about getting good grades in school, and safety, and he listened so intently to them. Then we went back downstairs, Aidan took the firepole of course, and got ready to go for a ride in the firetruck. The captain let Aidan have his seat in the truck (the front) and he got to wear the earphones and microhphone so they could talk. Barry and Baylee got to go as well. They went for a little ride and Aidan thought it was awesome when they turned the lights and siren on and everyone pulled over for them. He was smiling from ear to ear when they got back to the station. Then he got to spray the actual firehose and try on J.J.'s uniform. They gave the kids firemen helmets and badges and all sorts of fun things. What a great day we had. Aidan has said for a long time that he wants to be a fireman so I know this was a day he will remember for a long time. Thanks J.J. and Reggan!

Learning that the hoses are a lot heavier than they look!

Trying out one of the extinguishers. He really wishes he had one of these at home for water fights.

Baylee trying out the back seat in the truck.

So funny! This uniform is so heavy and huge on him he could barely stand up. He actually has the pants on as well but they are gathered around his ankles because the suspenders were too longs.

He got to try on the air mask.

Lunch time.

About to go for a ride.

He loved this part of course. The rest of us were a little nervous and had a few close calls but managed to stay dry.

Baylee and Reggan.

Aidan, J.J., and Baylee.

The other firefighters we met too. I wish I remembered their names. They were all so nice and made Aidan feel super special!

Christmas

Well......Christmas came and went too fast once again. I think this year may have been one of the best for our family. We were super busy but it was well worth it. We celebrated old traditions and started new ones. Our family grew and we got to celebrate our first Christmas together. The kids had a great time and made it so special!
We spent Christmas Eve at my mom and Kelly's house. They made a delicious prime rib dinner and the whole family was there..... my mom, Kelly, James (Kelly's son), Kat (Kelly's daughter), and Chad ( Kat's fiance.) We read the Polar Express and opened the traditional jammies. Christmas morning I held off as long as I could but ended up waking everyone up at 5:30. I absolutely love to see the excitement on my kids faces when they see what Santa brought them! We all got spoiled again as usual. Some of Aidan's favorite gifts were....an electronic drum pad, a guitar, hot wheels, a dinasaur cave, and a really cool ant farm! Baylee got lot's of dolls, barbies, lip gloss, and bracelets. I got an I-Phone which I LOVE, a gift certifcate from from Barry for a three day vacation (one day of which has to be spent at the spa), gift cards, and perfume. Barry got clothes, and a 32" T.V. We had such a great time, but it was weird to think it was our last Christmas with just the four of us.

This is at my mom's house after the kids opened their Christmas jammies.

The kids waiting to see what Santa brought after I woke them up super early. lol

Looks like Santa found us!

Baylee with her doll that she has since named Sparkle.

Aidan absolutely LOVES hotwheels.

Is she the cutest or what? She loves this purse and carries around her lip gloss and brush with her everywhere we go. I think we may be in trouble! lol

Doll #5 I believe. Barry doesn't quite understand why girls need so many dollies but he is getting there. lol

All the boys got these lovely Air cannons from my mom and Kelly. All I can say is UGH! lol

This is the denim quilt that I made for my mom and surprised her with. She has wanted me to make her one for years and did not expect it this year. It was so fun and I think it turned out pretty good.

Chad giving Aidan some pointers on his new guitar that Aunt Haley got him.

James and Kat finding a new way to wear the jacket that she got. lol

Playing with one of her new barbies.

Safety first folks, safety first. lol

Trying out the new quilt that Nanny got her. Both the kids got new bedding thanks to Nanny and Kelly!

The kids were obviously thrilled that we were able to make a trip to visit Scott on Christmas too. They sure do love their Uncle!

Hope all of you had a Merry Christmas and a great New Year as well!
