Easter

We had a great Easter this year. On Saturday we went to Russ' Aunt Georgia's house. We had a BBQ with all of his cousins and his brothers family. We then dyed easter eggs with all the kids. On Sunday the kids woke up and looked in there baskets and then searched for the easter eggs that they had dyed the night before. Brynn slowly caught on to the whole thing. Jaxon showed her where the eggs were and she put them in the basket. It was really fun to watch them work together and get so excited. We then went to church. After church we all took a nap (except Jaxon) and then searched for eggs outside that were hidden. Then we all walked down to the park and played soccer and on the toys. It was fun just spending time with family!

Life with Three

Life with three kids gets a little crazy! Jaxon being so much older than Brynn and Avery helps a tons though. Brynn is probably the one that keeps us the busiest. While I am trying to feed Avery, Brynn gets into everything. The latest was the red Sharpie incident. She colored all over the floor and the kitchen cabinets. I was able to get it all off luckily. If you leave her for any given second she is on to her next exploration. Brynn loves to dump anything that is in a box. Everything is "Mine", she says. Jaxon is still loving piano. He went on a Field Trip to see Charlotte's Web. He said that it was boring. Jaxon went to Cub Scouts for the first time on Wednesday. He was so excited to go. Little did he know that they were going to the Centerville park to pick up trash. He still enjoyed just being with all of his friends. Avery is doing well. Many of you know that we went to Primary Children's last Friday. She still has a VDS (hole in her heart). They said that is should close up and if it doesn't by a year they will go in and close it. She is eating well and is a very content baby. She has brought so much love and happiness to our family. I am getting a little bit of sleep, but somehow making it through. Russ has been a big help. He has given me many breaks from the kids, so I can keep going for another couple hours. I posted some pictures of the kids. Jaxon is in his scout uniform, Avery at one week, and Brynn and Avery asleep in the jogger.

Avery Gwynn Wilding

Avery Gwynn Wilding

8lbs. 13oz. 22inches long





She's finally here! Our family is so blessed to have another child. Avery is so sweet. She has dark hair in the back of her head and we haven't figured out who she looks like yet. We keep saying how small she looks. Our other kids were 9 and 10 lbs., so she really seems small. She cried for a long time moments after coming into this world. This made mom nervous. I thought oh great I already have a colicky baby. Now she is very content as long as she is held. The kids love her. Jaxon just keeps saying how cute she is and Brynn doesn't know quite what to think. She doesn't really pay to much attention to her. She just points at her at calls her baby. Avery had a little bit of jaundice and so she spent a lot of her time in the hospital under the lights. She also had a heart murmur and so they did an echo cardiogram and found a little hole in her heart. Mom and dad didn't take the news well, but after giving Avery a blessing we are a little bit more at peace with this. Next Friday we will take her up to Primary Children's and find out more about this. They did let us take her home, so it must have been somewhat ok. We will keep everyone posted about her. Grammy and Papa Beeson came to take care of Jaxon and Brynn. Grammy is staying a week and Papa left on Tuesday. It has been extremely helpful having mom around. She has meals already made for the next two weeks in the freezer. Our family is blessed to have her here! Thank you everyone for all your calls and prayers!

Jaxon's 8th Birthday

My Leap Year Baby is now Eight. Where did the time go. Jaxon's first request for his birthday was to have breakfast in bed. He asked me if he could have orange rolls and bacon. So he waited in bed until I came up with a tray with his orange rolls and bacon and of course Choco Milk. Jaxon also wanted to go to Nickelcade with his friends for his birthday. So, after school Russ and I loaded up the kids in two cars and took them to Nickelcade in Salt Lake. Aunt Megan, Uncle Chad, and Kennedie met us there. We ate a spongebob cake, ice cream, opened presents, and then turned them loose on all the games. Everyone seemed to have a great time. After the party Jaxon and James put together legos and played the computer game that he got. So now that the party is over I can breathe a sigh of relief. I had a reoccuring nightmare that I would go into labor before or during the party. Now the baby is welcome to come anytime. Russ took the kids to Idaho to buy a lottery ticket and then is going to take Jaxon to the Hobby Shop and Target to spend his birthday money. I know that taking the kids to buy a lottery ticket doesn't sound the best, but I get 4 hours to myself, so I really don't care. Tommorrow is the big day! I will post pictures as soon as I get home from the hospital!
