Santa Pics

We took the kids to see Santa and get pictures with him the other day. Well..... The idea of it all was great, but did we get pictures with Santa?? NO!!! Gavin almost died of fright when we tried to put him on Santa's lap. You would have thought he was in pain. So all my efforts were wasted. No big deal, there is always next year! I guess if someone made me sit on some fat old guy with a big white beard, I would probably protest to. Maybe Gavin knew that he was on the naughty list so he was embarrassed to sit with Santa. hehehehehe.. Anyway, I was not going to leave the mall with out some kind of picture. This is what we ended up with.

Madilynn's Blessing

We blessed Madilynn on December 7th. It was a beautiful day and an even more beautiful blessing. I think that seeing your baby blessed is one of life's most precious moments. As her mother it is my duty to teach her and guide her, so the blessing she was given will be fulfilled. I hope that she always remembers that she is a daughter of God. Jonathan and I lover her so much and we are so blessed to have her little spirit with us. We thank all our friends and family for sharing the special day with us.

Fatty Maddi

Maddi is 5 and half weeks now. I am a little behind on my posts. On December 1st we took Maddi in for her one month check up. It seems to be that we have a little butterball on our hands. When the nurse told me how much she weighed I almost had her put her on the scale again. At one month of age our darling baby weighed 11 lbs 10 oz. She gained 3 and a half pounds in one month, and added a inch & 3/4 to her height. I never knew how yummy a chubby little baby could be. They are so much fun to squish and cuddle with. So her new nickname in FATTY MADDI!!!

Thanksgiving!!

My Precious Mama with my Precious Maddi

Madilynn at two weeks old

Ok, So sorry I haven't been posting many pictures. I have been so busy trying to adjust to having two kids. Here are some pics from when Maddi was two weeks old. I haven't been taking pics of her after these because she got a very bad case of baby acne. I have been waiting for it to go away, but it is sure taking its time. Anyway enjoy these pics and I will be posting more soon.

Halloween Pics

These pictures are from our ward Trunk r Treat. We have a guy in our ward that is a photographer and he set up a little photo shoot at the Trunk r Treat to get pics of all the kids in their costumes. Here are some pics of Gavin and Alexander. But I do have to say, they both looked so much cuter in person!

One Week Old!!

SHE IS HERE!!! Madilynn Elise Ray

On Friday (Halloween) morning I started having contractions around 6:30am. I didn't pay much attention to them, I figured this could go on all day. So I went on with my regular day. Around 11:00am I was about to head out the door to go get my toes done, so I could have pretty toes for the baby (hehe). well that's when they hit me like a bomb. They were coming every 3 mins. So I decided we better get ready to go to the hospital. Mama came and picked up Gavin and we were off. We had to stop and get lunch because I was starving (bad Idea). We got to the hospital around 12:30pm signed in and 5 mins later my water broke right in the middle of the waiting room full of people. I was soooo embarrassed, but that didn't last long because the pain was taking over. The food I ate on the way to the hospital was a bad idea because it had made its way right back up. Anyway to make a long story short, we got our room and the Epidural. I was dilated to a 4 and stayed there for 6 hours. I was planning on having a v-bac, but that didn't happen. After waiting 6 hours I figured that was enough. So they wheeled me in for a C-Section and Madilynn was born at 8:50pm on Halloween night. She weighted 8Lbs 7oz and was 20 in. long. She is a beautiful baby girl and I am so glad she is here. We love her so much and can't wait to watch her grow up to be a wonderful daughter of God. Gavin also loves her so much and already is the best big brother ever.

Enjoy the Pictures!
