He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 21 inches long
 

I forget how small they are!!


All her siblings were there cheering her on!

Bracken's new cousin! They'll be best buds!

Bracken didn't quite know what to think! He just stared and stared.


Thanks Heidi and Nate for letting us take part in this. We were so glad we could be there and support your little family! Love you and congrats!!

California!!!

Well in August we were able to take a family trip (my WHOLE family!) to California. Heidi my sister, and her cute family live in Pasadena so we were able to spend time with them as well! It was a great break from Utah and an even better break for Greg. Pharmacy school is very time consuming, alot of work and alot of brain power so I was so happy that Greg could come with us! 
(LOTS of pictures)
Bracken's first plane ride! He did so good!!


Just had to take this picture!
 Such a cute little boy on a what looks like a "HUGE couch!"

All the boys waiting for the girlies to get ready! They're so picked on! (Greg was making a bottle)

Spent a day at Sea World in San Diego! It was alot of fun!!!

Two little cousins getting spoiled by Nana and Papa with Sea World Dolphins!

Their favorite aunt! Shay loves these little squirts!

Random picture in the Rapids dryers that cost $5 just to get you dry!
Good thing the Rapids ride was closed that day!

LOVE the Shamu Show!! Favorite part of Sea World!
Greg and I took a City Bus tour in LA. It was alot of fun!

One of the tours was the movie stars homes in Beverly Hills.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Home

Dr. Phil's Home at one time

Bracken is such a good sport!

AHH! My favorite two boys!!

I couldn't just walk by this store..I had to go in!
American girl was my FAVORITE when I was little!!

Bracken is pooped! He's been so good keeping up with us and hardly fussed at all!

You can't really see it in this picture but the Hollywood sign is right behind us on the mountain.

Took Greg to the Ronald Reagen Library, he loved it!
If you get the chance, I totally recommend it!

Greg and Bracken in front of Air Force one. The tour was great and interesting.

Met up with one of my friends from college who is serving in the Arcadia Mission.
 It was great to see her!!!

As you can see, we had a blast! I LOVE vacations and have beggin Greg for quite some time to go somewhere! It's always nice to come home and get settled in your own place again...especially when you have a little one!!

2 Year Anniversary!

August 6, 2011 was our two year anniversary. We cannot believe we've been married two years already but what a blessing it has been! We were in California for our anniversary so we got to do something a little different, which was a blast!
My siblings watched Bracken at the hotel while we went out on a nice romantic date.

We went to dinner on the bay of the Newport beach at a restaurant called "Rusty Pelican". It was delicious!!! I've never had garlic bread as good as that, WOW is all I can say!

I ordered Prime Rib, scrumptious!

Greg ordered Mahi Mahi, the fish was SOO fresh!

They surprised us with a mudd pie to celebrate!

So the plan was to go to the beach and walk along the beach since we were in California and all but the wind was blowing so hard at the beach that it was not much fun and it was freezing! So we decided to walk around the Newport temple grounds.

We had each written a letter to each other and here is where we read them to each other. It was a pretty special moment!

I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to Greg. I couldn't have asked for a better husband and for sure a better father to Bracken. After two years I am still in awe of my eternal companion! He's my best friend, the love of my life and such a stud!!! Love you Greg!!
