Garrett

 On October 19 we headed into the hospital after the worst week of my life. I had been in preterm labor since that monday. Stuck at a 4 having contractions but not changing. I had been stripped 3 seperate times. Plus i made blake come home from texas and then nothing happened. Im not going to lie i loved having him here!

After being stripped the 3rd time we were home and blake said lets go for a drive... I will have you know the Deer hunt started that next day and blake was chomping at the bit. So we headed up High Creek and about 10 minutes in i started having contractions. 4 minutes apart!

We drove the whole way up to the end of the canyon and then on the way down, i was in tears with every contraction. Luckily driving out of the canyon my parents were outside. So we dropped off the boys, went home and got my bags, then headed up.

 

 We got to the hospital at 6:30 and had him at 12:20.
Garrett Lynn Brower

 weighing 7 lbs and 7 oz. my biggest! 

20 inches.

PERFECT.

Everyone of our kids were sick. NOT KIDDING.

Brody had caught a wicked flu two weeks prior. and it had gone through bently and and riley had a horrible cold. So Brody was the only one who was able to come and hold baby garrett. Can you tell who did brody's hair? Dad.

Garrett is an amazing baby! Super chill. Except when he is hungry. He looks just like bently did, but you can see the other boys in him too.

I am so so glad that he is here and i am no longer pregnant. This one was

so hard, and i am glad he is here and healthy!!!

More pics to come when i have a second. :)



FIRE!!!!!

BENTLY'S awesome preschool went on a field trip to the local fire station!!!

 

 

 i had Riley with me and anyone who knows hiim would know that he was freaking out!!!!

they talked about what to do if you are on fire and the fire safety.

bently loved it and had such a great time!!!

New Pics

 My boys!!!!

I haven't had pictures done with all the boys for quite a while.

So we went and tried it out! Super last minute!!

 Ry 2.5 yrs old Only smile the whole night!!

 Iknow that this tub is super nasty. But really this is how my life is.

Don't boys like the nastiest and dirty thing they  can find???

 Bently 4.5 Brody just a couple weeks shy of 7

 

ry was such a terd. he wouldn't smile and was so concerned once he got some burs on him. The photo shoot was over at that point. But i think he looks adorable in the ones that turned out!

 

Love my boys!!!

LAgoon... Its where fun is!!!

 Swings. Bently went on everything that this little shorty could!!!

Brody is a pretty good brother. He won a frog from wac a mole and bently had a

break down, so brody gave it to bent. He slept with it that night!!!

 Justin showing off!!!

 COTTON CANDY!!!!

 THE COLOSSUS!!! I am seriously in shock with this child. He is afraid of heights, and hates to get thrown high. BUT to my surprise he will go on this!!! I am impressed brody!

 

Proof that they had a good time!!!!



My fear...

came true this sunday. on a harmless sunday drive blake "just happened to" run over

THIS......

5ft long Blow snake. That didn't die. It was still alive.

 I freaked out a little but hey im ok ... I'm in the truck right,

but no then brody gets out and this happens.

Really was the hand off necessary??? I am petrified of snakes. and seeing my 6

 year old this close about made me lose it. So scary, whats worse is i know this is just the beginning.

EEK

Bently's 1st day of Preschool

 Bently is ready for school!!! he keeps asking me every 5 minutes if it's time to go!!

We are glad we got him into preschool. He loves being with friends and learning.

We are so proud of bently and love his little personality. He is having a hard time with

brody being gone all day but thank goodness for school!!!

Good job buddy! 

Brody's first day of 1st grade!!!

 Bently was feeling left out and wanted to get in on the pic.

I can't believe that brody is in 1st grade.  He is getting so old. 

He had trouble sleeping the night before due to the pain in the butt allergies

he has. But he was up at the crack of the dawn ready to go. You can take

those allergies for his swollen eyes. I felt so bad for him.

I seriously think it is going to be harder on bently then anoyone else.

He was really sad and kept asking me when brody would be home.

Thankfully he will be starting school on monday!!

I am so proud of brody. He is such a good kid!!! here is to another year!

I must put in a side note here that.... yes believe it or not..... no tears were shed from these eyes!!!!

Funny thing is he wouldn't let me take him to school he just wanted to ride the bus

"with all of my friends". So i think that helped me from crying!
