4 Weeks!

Brooklyn is 4 weeks old today and I can't believe it. The time flew by (well, except when she just wanted to be awake in the middle of the night!) It has been so much fun being a mom. I guess I didn't really know what to expect, but the thing that amazes me the most is the amount of love that I have for her. It continues to grow every day and I find myself just staring at her all the time. She is so precious and has brought so much joy into my life. I find I dont always get to take a shower every day and sometimes I am in my pajamas for two days straight, but when I see her cute smile it makes my heart melt and everything else I thought mattered, just kind of fades away. I feel so blessed to be a mom and share the amazing responsibility of being a parent with such a fun loving, energetic, and thoughtful husband and dad!

One fine Sunday Afternoon

The Fantastic 4

A special thanks to G-Ma for coming out and helping us with Brooklyn!

Also, a special thanks to G-Pa for the stylish beanie.

Naughty and Nice

So we were taking some pictures of our daughter today. After viewing them we noticed an unsettling trend. Two out of the five images have us wondering if it would be premature to give her a time out. See if you can guess which ones! The other three just make our hearts melt!

Brooklyn Mae Bos

Brooklyn Mae Bos was born on 11/5/2010 at 4:00 PM MST. She is 7 lbs 12 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. She also already has more hair then her father! Both baby and mom are doing great.

Brown House Boys

Two of Matt's previous roommates were in town this past weekend and we were able to spend a little bit of time catching up with them. It was so good to see them and I know Matt missed being able to spend time with the guys. They went to a BYU game, and fortunately BYU actually won!

Projects

With two weeks to go until D-Day and work slowing down I find myself with a lot of spare time. To fill the time I have been creating mini projects for myself. My proudest moment was this diaper bag I made. I found a tutorial online and in about a day I had myself a new diaper bag, complete with magnetic clasps, pockets on all sides, a zipper in the back, and a waterproof lining. Since browsing the crafty blogger world, and believe me, it is another world, I have been inspired to be more creative with my holiday decorations. I found an ugly plastic pumpkin at DI and turned it into a cute little beauty by painting it black, painting some letters and pouring some acrylic lacquer on it to make it shiny. I have also been working on a bunch of Christmas presents for my sister and sister-in-laws, but no picture will be posted as it will be a surprise for them!

I cant believe I have two more weeks until I am a mom. Hopefully she doesnt come too much after that, because I am already starting to go crazy, and I want my body back! hahah

Temple Trip

Elder Miller leaves for Costa Rica on Monday so I couldnt help but jump at my last chance to see him. I just happened to show up to do a session the same time he did. ;) What a great way to start off the morning!

The leaves aren't the only things changing around here...



This is my "Tag...you're it" face. Sometimes I wish I could just hand the baby over to Matt. Usually at night time, when she is up and I am trying to sleep. Wouldn't that be nice?!

Our Nursery!

I finally feel like I can check the baby's room off the list. I created so many projects for myself that I thought I would never finish. Yesterday, I finished the bed skirt for the crib and finally feel like our nursery is baby ready! Here are a couple pictures of our projects.We are 99% sure of the name, but want to see her before its final. hahah Hopefully its a girl like they said!Here is the finished bumper and bed skirt that took longer than I thought it would! A close up of the pillows and cute fabricThis was Matthew's cool project... he saw something similar in a store and decided he could do it himself. This one is way cuter!A side view of the paintings I did for her that hang over the changing table.

Now...more waiting for the baby to come!

Go Cougars!

Matt's sister and her husband were nice enough to share their BYU football tickets with us! It was so fun to spend time with family and get to watch BYU's victory over Washington!
