Fun Times...

 Just a little Recap...My 28th birthday was in March...Ben was so cute and ordered me this cake when he first told me what he ordered I had this Ginormous cake in my mind... Well it was Huge but it was absolutely Gorgeous...I had the best day just spending time with my kiddo's and that night we had dinner at Pizza Factory with Ben's family... I had the best Birthday cause I got to spend it with my little Family and I wouldn't have it any other way...

My cute Kiddo's are so much fun right now...  They are growing up so fast too...Bella is adorable right now and has to wear her TUTU everywhere even to school...I let her because it is so cute...She also is my little entertainer the other day we were outside playing with all the neighbors and she says to me, "Mom I want to dance for my Friends will you sing Single Ladies"  I had to laugh but of course I did it and she danced so darn cute and everyone cheered then all of her friends started dancing with her.  She knows how to move too!  Bridger is adorable he is always smiling.  He is scooting all over the place too.  I am sure he will be crawling soon.  I don't know what it is about siblings but every time they play together Bridger just laughs the whole time and so of course Bella laughs. Every time Bella Walks in the room Bridger has to find her and he has an instant smile it is the cutest thing ever. I love that Bond that they have already..It is Priceless... 

Bridger and Bella absolutely Love the Park and Swinging... They ask every day to go even at night when we are getting things ready for Bed Bella wants to go...  I love that they are active and we will be spending a lot of time this summer at the Park Playing and Swinging...

 I absolutely love this guy...He is the Best Daddy ever and he always has so much fun with the kids...He is The Best...

Everything is going great right now. Ben got a new job at Smead as an Engineer. He is one of 3 there that are in charge of all their equipment. He has his own desk and office. He is so excited for it. The best part is it is a Paid Internship that works around his school schedule. He also gets college credit for it and a job when he graduates. We are so Blessed to have this happen for our little Family. I am loving being a busy mom of 2 little ones. It gets funner and funner every day we are loving it! I have the best husband that works goes to school and takes care of the kids why I am working full time. He is amazing and I couldn't do it without him. Like I said I am Truly Blessed:)

"Baby Brudder"

“Baby Brudder” is Here… Bridger Ray Imlay was born November 17th at 7:08am. He weighed 7lbs 10oz and was 20 ½ inches long. That’s huge compared to Bella who was a whopping 5lbs 9oz. He was 2 pounds bigger that is big in baby weight. But he is cuter then ever we just love our little guy. Everything was perfect. We went in at 5 am they got everything ready started my IV and got me dressed. Luckily my mom and Erika came to be with Bella they brought her in for me at 6:15 right before they wheeled me away so that she could be here when Bridger was born. Oh she was so tired but it was the cutest thing ever. They wheeled me back I got my epidural Dr Gatherum started at 7 and Bridger was out by 7:08. Oh he looked just like Bella did. You defiantly knew that he was her baby brother. Oh and he had a set of lungs I loved hearing that noise. They showed him to me right away. They got him all cleaned up and suctioned wrapped him up and Ben got to hold him right by me for a while before they took him to the nursery. Ben got to go with him to the nursery where they finished cleaning him bathed him and got him all settled. My mom, Erika, Lynann, Mark and Bella were all right outside the nursery window watching it all. Thanks to Erika I got some really cute pictures. While this was all going on they were just closing me up and Dr Gatherum did an amazing Job. He took his time to make it look great. One of the nurses later told me that he spends too much time sometimes they are waiting on him but of course I am very glad he does. They then wheeled me to the room where no one was there yet it was kind of nice! It was great to have a moment to take it all in and then it was really fun because Ben and Bella got to bring Bridger into me! It was so much fun and such a spiritual moment. These are the moments in life when I couldn’t be more sure about the gospel. How all of this can happen. A Beautiful Healthy Baby Boy is brought into our lives. I know that Val was there Bringing him down. I know that she was there for Ben when his son was born. Bella’s Spirit just lit right up too when she saw him. I was worried about him coming because everyone kept saying that she would act out cause all the attention was not on her but she has been absolutely amazing. She just loves her “Baby Brudder” . She calls him “Little Buddy”, “Little Guy”, and of course the famous “Baby Brudder”. When someone asks what his name is she says “Baby Brudder”. It is the cutest thing ever. I had such a great delivery. Awesome nurses. Dr Gatherum was great with me and Dr Newbold was great with Bridger. I was so grateful for all my family that came to visit! There was a moment when they were all in my room, I was laying in bed and just listening to everyone visit and talk. I loved it. At one point they had me even laughing so hard and it hurt my stomach so much but it was worth it cause it reminded me of old times at my mom and dad’s when we would all just sit in the living room and visit. We would Joke around laugh and just spend time together. In the summer we would sit on the porch and eat like a whole box of otter pops. I miss that so much! I love little moments in life that do bring us all together. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband. I am so grateful for my two beautiful Kids and I am so grateful for my family. Family is by far the most important thing in life. I am loving our little family that is continuing to grow. It is definitely a journey that me and Ben are going to enjoy! You have to “Find Joy in the Journey” right! With my two cute kids and great husband I am definitely finding Joy in my Journey!

Family Life...Celebration of 5 Wonderful Years...

My little Bella is growing up so so fast! She is so much fun right now and I am loving every minute of it! She talks all the time...She loves her "Baby Dolls" Every one of them is "Baby Hattie or Baby Saydee". Named after her little cousins. Her new thing that she does is the Sign for I Love You! She has been trying so hard and now she finally has it and does it all the time. We will be riding in the car and she will hold it up and say "Love you Mommy, Love you". So of course I do it back and we play back and forth! She is growing up big time but we are loving it! Honestly people told me that when we had her we would think back and wonder what we ever did without her and now that we do I think back and I wouldn't change it for the world because she is the light of our life. She is so excited for "Baby Broder". She talks to him all the time and gives him kisses. She See's little boys in car seats and calls them "Baby Broder". I know that she is going to be so so good with her new little brother. She just has that little motherly instinct that girls have and she is a little sweet heart! I am now 26 weeks and getting more and more nervous as the days go on! I am trying to get prepared but working full time and how busy this summer has been it is really hard to find time! On my days off I just want to play with Bella so really I am falling behind on getting prepared! Oh but with my wonderful husband everything will get done! School starts next week for Ben! Yahoo I am sure he is so excited:( This semester will be a good one though. Luckily we got all his classes in the morning so that he can still work at GEM Engineering in the Afternoon. He is loving that job and I am so glad. They are amazing to work with and he is really loving it so I am glad that he has found his little niche!

A lot has happened lately that has really made me realize how blessed I am in life. Me and Ben just celebrated our 5th Year Anniversary!!!! I can't believe how time flies bye. I absolutely LOVE being Married. He is the love of my life. I don't know what I would do without him. He is my Best Friend and the Best husband in the World. We have been through so much in these past five years! Loosing loved ones! Seeing him go through that trial in our life has been one of the hardest things ever. Because I hate to see the person I love the most suffer through hard times. Both of us has had our trials in life but I feel like that is what has made us stronger. I love him so much! I could never express how much because my love grows deep! All I can do is Pray every day and thank my Heavenly Father for My Wonderful Husband! I have a wonderful family because of him! I love our little Family and how it is growing! It is Amazing and I owe it all to my Wonderful Husband!!

To Celebrate we had an amazing weekend! Bella had a sleep over Friday night at Hattie, Saydee, and Aunt Maymy's (Amy's). She had so much fun there! Ben got us reservations at Little America in Salt Lake city and it was so Beautiful. We even had room Service for Breakfast and I have never had that before so I was Spoiled. I would tell anyone to do that because it is so so nice there. We then spent Saturday at the Salt Lake Temple which was amazing! I have wanted to go there forever and we just haven't made it up that way yet so it was kinda a special trip. Oh and it was well worth it! I loved that feeling of being there and It was so so Beautiful. We have been to a lot of temples since we have been married and I love it. We have been to Manti, St George, Nauvoo, Hawaii, Japan, and now Salt Lake. I guess that doesn't seam like a lot compared to all that are out there but every trip we have taken we make sure we go to the temple that is near bye. And we plan on making it to so many more! We then went out to eat and then to Planet of the Apes. It was so much fun and we had a blast together! It was so nice to have a relaxing weekend and not worry about all the worldly responsibilities that we do! We had a great time and it was great to reminisce about the past 5 years! We have had the time of our life and we know that we will continue to do so! We have defiantly had an adventure along the way and every minute of it has been worth it!

Family Pictures...

We had our Family Pictures Taken By my Good Friend Natalie... And she did an awesome job...I was so excited when I saw them because you all know how hard it is to keep a 2 year old still for pictures and to get them to smile...It was so fun and I am so glad that we had her take them...It was one of our Family Goals this year to get family pictures taken by a professional two times a year...I absolutely love pictures ask anyone in my family they are probably sick of me always making them pose for family pictures:) I just feel like they are one of the greatest memories that you can look back on! Bella was so fun in these pictures you can just see her little personality shine right through...

One thing that my Family always jokes about is once we get family pictures we always end up having a new addition to our Family...Well in this case it is True we are adding Number 2!! We are having a "Baby Brother" according to Bella and she says it so so cute! I am officially 20 weeks along:) We are due November 25th...We are so so excited...I don't know what we are going to do we are all about pink and baby dolls right now... It will definatly be such a fun new adjustment...
