Tractor Time!

It melts my heart to watch Kamryn and her Papa bond.

She wanted to ride the tractor so bad, so my dad mowed our lawn (thanks!)

She sits so still and is so serious

Awww

Riding off into the sun, lol

Always checking on her :)

Sporting her daddy's hat

Cheeeeeeeeese

Daddy took her for a ride on his tractor

later that night

Made them stop so I could get a good shot

And finally...one of Mommy with the kids.

I'm always behind the camera, not in the pictures.

Randomness

Sorry about not updating sooner. The days go by so quick and now

I am back to work, so even less time for the computer.

Stopping to feed her baby

Peek-a-boo

Back from her trip

Helping Mommy make bread

Always has to have a spoon in there

Kneeding the bread

All done :)

Little Brayden Bear

Happy 1 Month...you are sooo handsome!

(Just like your Daddy)

So Beautiful!!!

Got pig-tails in Kamryn's hair again (she is sooo darn cute with them in).

She has gotten better about it as long as I let her play in the water

while I am doing it. She holds Brayden so much more now, so

I am able to get some cute shots in :)

Busted!

Her latest/newest book obsession

It is read at least 10 times a day!

Giving Brayden some love

Look at his toes

(yeah...look how much bigger Kamryns are...WOW, lol)

Showing me the frog, good job :)

Sister and Brother Love :)

I have to aww my little girl and how well she has taken to becomming a "big sister"!

She is so cute on how she asks to hold Brayden and kisses him and rubs his little face and hair so gently.

Giving a kiss

Singing to him

Hitting the high note

This is getting framed :)

Brayden smiling for the camera

(okay, we all know it is gas...but I'll take it, lol)

Kamryn playing with his hands.

I think it is so cute because she watches tv and does it,

and I do this to her at night when she is going to bed.

She loves her hands played with and does it to her little brother :)

Random Pics

The pics are from when Brayden came home up until a couple of days ago.

I still need to upload the newer ones off my camera, but I have a hard

time finding extra time to get things done. It will happen though...

Welcome Brayden Aaron!!!

Well, as most everyone knows that on July 24th, 2009 we were supposed to welcome a baby girl into our family...well God had another plan, lol.

I went to the hospital at 6am to be induced that day. Things went very well and at 12:01pm we got an unexpected, but very welcomed surprise. If I could go back, I would have LOVED for someone to record the event because it was priceless (well, it was anyways). This is how the conversation went...

Aaron (to me): It's a boy

Me: No its not

Aaron: Yes...Its a boy

Me: Oh my God!!!

Then the doctor held up his bottom half to prove to me that is was, and well, I have NO CLUE how the ultrasound tech missed that! 2 ultrasounds and they both totally missed that my little girl was in fact a BOY! It took us a while to get over the shock and start saying "him" or "he" instead of "her" and "she", lol. He came out of the birth canal too quick which caused him to have a lot of bruising on his face (pushed out in about 5 minutes). The brusing went away rather quick but in a lot of the pics when he is first born he is really blue.

So anyways...Brayden Aaron Martin was born on July 24th, 2009 at 12:01pm weighing in at 8lbs 15oz and 21 inches long. He is very handsome and reminds me of his big sister, just not as chunky in the face (or body). They were very close in weight, but they store it very differently :)

A note from Mommy

Well, here we go! Not much has been going on around here, just getting ready as much as we can. Kamryn has no idea what is in store for her, but there is not a whole lot we can do to prepare her for her new role as big sister. I think she is going to do great...she is so intrigued by little babies. Well, we are going to find out very soon! For those who don't know, I will be induced this coming Friday. Brittyn's birthday is going to be July 24th, unless she decides to be super stubborn (I guess we will wait and see).

I am very excited to meet my super active little girl. The one who has hiccups at least 2 times a day, moves around like crazy and has made it clear that she is not her sister. I wonder if she will look like Kamryn. If she will have brown or blue eyes, brown or sandy blonde hair, chunky cheeks and legs, if she will look more like Aaron or me or just a great combo. I have so many dreams for her already, just as I do for Kamryn. This pregnancy has gone by sooo quick and now I am ready to meet Brittyn and enjoy the journey of raising 2 beautiful little girls.

I will post after we get home with pictures and such so that everyone may see our new addition!
