I cant imagine life with out her. She will be 4 months on the 22nd of this month how time flys and she grows and changes so much. WE LOVE YOU!!!!

DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL!!
Aren't these the cutest pictures. I am so grateful for an amazing husband who loves his family and his little buckeye baby. The picture on the right was at the champ. game of The Ohio State Buckeyes. They lost but played hard. Chris is still a little sad but he has this picture to remind him that it is all ok.

Christmas 2007
We were able to have our own little Christmas a little early cuz we went down to California to see his family!!

Here are some Pictures of our trip to Florida. It was just me and her. She did really good on the flight. We had a good time seeing the family, we went down for my grandfather funeral it was a beautiful day!!

The pic. on the left was our 1 year anniversary we went as a family and walked around the temple. Happy 2008 not a very good picture but we had a fun night at our friends house Brittany and Josh.

Dress up time!! I love the picture with the glasses we were in Florida and Grandpa was playing with her and next thing I know she is looking like a nerd, its a cute look.

GRANDMA TIME!


So my mom was able to come out for a month and spend time with me and the baby. For most of you, you think thats a long time how do you do that. But Chris and I Loved having her there. I hope that I can be half the Mom that my mother is. She is an amazing Woman! We love you Grandma and Grandpa. Oh yes and thank you to my dad for being so willing to let her be out here that long. It took alot on my dads part to be the main squeeze at home. Love you

This is Dr. Rogers who delivered her. The Best Doctor Ever.
The bottom picutre are of her first football game ever. Dixie vs Pine View.

Its a girl!!
Ok so I am really bad at keeping you all updated. So lets take a journey back in time about 3 1/2 months ago to September 22 ,2007. When our little bundle of joy came to us. Nelyana Debra Brinagh born at 8:41 on a sat. weighed in at 7lbs 4oz and the hospital said she was 18 1/4 inches and then at her 5 day appointment she was 20 1/4 so I tend to think this one was right. The first two top pictures is the waiting time as you can tell I am LOVING the Meds, and Chris is a little excited. It was only a 10 hour labor. Over all it went well. Chris was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better coach. It was amazing to see him hold his little girl for the first time. That made it worth all the pain. She came out both eyes wide open and her tongue sticking out. As you can tell we are the luckiest parents. Thank you to everyone for the love and support.

Hay Time

So as you can see Chris is bailing hay!! Yes hard to believe but he did a great job and was quiet the trouper. While they were doing it, it started to thunder and lighting and the heavens opened up and it downed pored. But it was a fun bonding time for everyone. I found that it pays to be pregnant. I was a great supervisor!!! Notice the picture of Emma's guns (you have to have tickets to the gun show, call for reservations at 763-the-show)

The Two Sleeping Babies

Here is Chris at that the Mall Of America! and what a fun place it is. I always say its a little bit of Heaven here on earth!!! Then this picture is of our niece Andrina what a cute bundle of joy.

And for all those who haven't heard we are having a Girl and we are so excited! Right now we are 28 weeks(7 months) and as you can tell everything just gets bigger. Not as fun as it sounds but it will be worth it. Chris is excited to be a daddy and what a wonderful one he will be!! When we were at the Doc office finding out Dr. Rogers told Chris that he had a ball player but for the other team? Chris was a little confused but then realized that he meant it was a girl, he was a little overwhelmed and had to sit down. I just laid there and laughed.

4th of July w/ the Family

4th of July was filled with Fun, Food, Family, Exploring and Heat!!! We had a great time with the family and making memories. We started off by going the the St. Anthony Falls and walked the bridge and enjoyed the beauty of Minnesota. We then went to the Taste of Minnesota which has lots of food and booths and rides and it was so hot. Then that evening we took a Fairy Boat Ride on the Mississippi River and Watched the Fireworks which was beautiful. And Thanks to Mom and all her hard work and planning we all had fun.

Minnesota Road Trip!!

This would be Chris very excited that he is passing a oversize 18 wheeler and two trucks at the same time on a two way road going 100 miles and hour. Little fast yeah but we made it.

So I was taking random pictures and in every picture I had many chins, so I took one that just explains it all. Round and Big in every place possible." Oh the Joy of being Pregnant!!!"
Chris relaxed, and going the speed limit, and having fun!!

This was a gas station we stopped at in Buffalo WY. Chris was so excited to see this! He had to take a picture and get a shirt. I have decided that this is the theme of our road trip. KUM&GO!

Chris trying on his 7th grade Basketball uniforms! WoW!Lauren and Becca at the Logan Temple!
Dixie Graduation! Chris and his BOY's GO DIXIE!!
Just incase you wanted a close up you got it!!!

Hello to everyone! Things are good here in the land of Dixie! Not much has changed just working and working. I am about 19 week along and we are way excited for the 21st of May. That is when we find out what we are having. Yes we know its a baby but we find out the sex of it. Let me know what you think we are having. Bethany you need to start thinking of a good nick name for our baby its cant be Hippo #2. My thoughts are that I have a high chance of a girl, hence my family and chris's, but part of me says its a boy. Then theres Chris he wants a Boy but he keeps telling himself that its a girl so he will be that much more excited. Well not much else going on just life and we are Loving it. Jus to remind you all on May 13th chris will be one more year old and wiser (haha) Jokes on him!!!!! Well we love you all. We are getting excited for July we are road tripping it out to Minnesota to see the Family we are way excited. Loves and Huggs
