The Last Two Weeks

How do the weeks go by sooo slow yet soooooo fast. The first two weeks at home with Brynn, I felt bad for Ash and Jace. We spent A LOT of time watching movies and cartoons. We lived upstairs in the kids playroom. I didn't move from the couch. This recovery from the 3rd and FINAL C-section was a lot easier then the other two, however, who wants to go out of the house with THREE KIDS UNDER THREE. I still giggle to myself now when we load up the kids and load up the strollers. It honestly takes about ten minutes, and thats if no one is crying. And if one cries, its more likely that there is at least one other one crying. It has been super nice to have such good helpers, family, MY MOM and MY MOM in LAW. They are great. They helped out so much and still are!!

Sister and Brother Bonding.

This has been a riot. Ashlynn can not control her giggles when she is holding Brynn. While Jace turns into a total sweetheart and whispers, "My Baby" everytime he holds her. ADORABLE

PLAYROOM ADVENTURES. Kevin was out of town and very upset at the last pic. But, there are some things you just don't want to fight your son (and daughter, she thought this was great) when you are recovering!

First Sponge Bath

Brynn has been pretty good. I forget how small and how fun it is to cuddle with newborns. I also forgot how hard nighttime tummy aches are. She seems to only get gas at night, won't burp and she stays up for hours whimpering. She is not a crier, but I still feel so bad for her!

Being silly....

UGH.....My husbands sad sad sad attempt to grow his hair out.....this has been going on for some time....

BUTHES BACK!!! Thanks Hubs!

I'm in LOVE

Its so magical what a new beautiful one can do!!! Its instant love. I can not believe that I am so lucky to have such a sweet little one in our lives. Welcome home Brynn, we LOVE YOU!!!

Less than 24 Hours

Less than 24 hours and we will have a new baby. A new little innocent soul to adore and cherish. I can not believe that I have been blessed with such beautiful, interesting little ones allready and the Lord trusts me with another one! I love being a mom and I love watching my adoring husband be the best Daddy there is. I am so grateful for what my children have taught me. I am blessed with such amazing people in my life. Wonderful Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends who have helped me a long the way of Motherhood and have loved my children just as much as I do. Here's to another Burnham!!!

Ashlynn

Jace

Is it January 22 yet?

Why can't the weeks go faster? Is it not January 22nd yet? I am really really trying to be patient and enjoy the last few weeks here, but UGH!! Kev left Saturday for the FIESTA Bowl. That night Ash got sick at Aunt Jaimes house, came home, threw up every 45 minutes for 12 hours. While, she insited that preggo mom slept right next to her on the floor. She then got sick off an on for the next few days, while I had to try to find someone to cover my shifts at work, which is hard to do during the holidays. All in the meantime Jace developed some funky rash that the Docs had no answers for, but decide to give him an antibiotic for. Thaks for the diarheaa Docs. So, Kev is due back in approx 2 hours and I am so excited for his return home and to go back to work tomorrow.

 Only two more weekends of being a family of four. Still have no BOY names picked out, would love suggestions!!!

By the way, GO BRONCOS!!!!

I am REALLY glad Kev got to go (even though my complaining didnt seem like it). This was his second Bowl game and he loves it.  He even got to go with his Bestie, Tracy, whom he NEVER gets to see. Plus, he gets Bro time and Nephew Time. Go BSU!!!

CHRISTMAS 2009

 Christmas was totally fun this year. We did lots of stuff before Christmas getting us in the mood. One of our favs is the Botantical Garden A Glow. Lots of fun and the kids enjoyed it even if it was cold.

Made our annual Christmas Sugar Cookies with Grandma Judkins and Aunt Jerr Jerr. Ash was involved in every step and Jace loved placing the cutters into the dough.

Ashlynn has found a new habit (thanks to the Disneys Princess and The Frog...the evil man has lots of evil shadows...well the shadows have made their way into her room at night. UGH)

Ashlynn made sure we made more cookies(which I was ok with. Not a huge fan of sugar cookies, but BIG fan of chocolate chip) for Santa. She even had to write him a letter. Totally tickled the next morning to find cookie crumbs, empty Ande mint wrappers, empty chocolate milk glass and a used napkin.All from Santa himself.

Good ole Christmas Mornin. At last, Ashlynn with her Barbie Scooter...... which, if you cant find what your child is looking for and youve searched and searched everywhere...DO NOT BUY ONE ON EBAY FROM GREAT BRITIAN. (you do NOT want to know how much Santa spent on this not calcuating the shipping....lets just say that scooter better get used this summer!!!) Jace got a Black and Decker Tool Set, which he keeps himself very busy on.

Jace giving "Knucks" because he got something cool.

Exhuasted after a long day.

Hope  everyone had a Merry Chritmas!

Love ya all!

We did the Christmas tree a couple of weeks ago. Its so funny how the kids have so much fun decorating. Ashlynn thought it was so funny that we were putting a tree up in the house and Jace was so memorized by all the "balls" that we were hanging. He was in heaven.

They also found the loud Christmas snowball that plays Christmas music. Very loud, very annoying and PERFECT for the kids. Jace and Ash will dance to it for hours.

We also finally got to go to the PRINCESS AND THE FROG, which has been a topic of converstation for a month in our house. Ashlynn loved it (minus the scary shadow people.....which now thanks to the mean shadow people she takes a hour before going to bed....she is obsessed with shadows. THANKS DISNEY!!!) She is so into the soundtrack, knows all the songs and has to sing them at least ten times a day. Here she is laying by the IPOD singing her little heart away.

We have been "ENJOYING" the snow.....I dont like the snow, and I am not sure that either of my kids like it to much either. Took us 25 minutes to prepare for the snow, 5 minutes of riding a sled, 2 minutes of standing in the snow and it was time to go in.

Kev didn't like  it either. Ran around the culdasec about 3 times, that was it.

We are so Thankful for so many things this year. Even though its been rough on so many of us, we are still thankful for everything that we do have. I am thankful for my supporting, handsome hubs. My adorable little rugrats that make me laugh everyday. Grateful for good health for me and my growing little baby. Especially grateful for all our family and good friends. And super grateful for the holidays and the holiday spirit that comes with!!! Love ya all!
