Catching Up

I know I so need to journal about my twin baby boys being born...I can't believe they are 2 months old already!! But I want to get caught up first...so here it goes...our random happy happenings the last few months... 

Branson has been loving boy scouts.

He's been on several campouts and field trips already.

I was really really REALLY nervous letting my baby boy go on a campout for the first time

WITHOUT Mom or Dad

but he loved it!

And I survived too :)

After lots of prayers!

Thanksgiving this year was a little different.

I was on bedrest

 but I just couldn't miss it.

My family's dinner is always the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

I brought a big comfy chair to sit in the whole night.

I swelled up BIG time and felt so sick.

Just from sitting for 3 hours!

Sitting was rough on this pregnant body! Ha! But seriously! 

So I missed the Hall dinner Thursday.

But the rest of the family had a great time without me :) 

For Tyler's birthday we bought him his own icecream machine!

Obviously the kids thought it was the coolest thing ever!

And Tyler has really enjoyed it!

Just a random cute moment...

The girls were playing together up on the top bunk being so sweet.

Reminded me of when I was a kid.

And Daddy reading books with Jarvis.

He is doing awesome at reading now. It's so cute!

Branson is in orchestra this year.

It's not his favorite thing but he is doing really well.

I really enjoy watching him play.

He is so handsome and talented!

Jarvis got his award at school this quarter.

I was one proud mama.

And he was a very happy boy!

CHRISTMAS!

This year was craziness.

It came and left so quickly.

We had Rigdon home at Christmas but Ezra was still in the hospital.

Christmas for us included...

New Christmas jammies.

Christmas cookies for Santa.

Gingerbread houses.

Presents.

Jarvis went to the Polar Express with Grandma & Grandpa Hall.

It was the little boys turn this year.

He LOVED it!

 

And of course going to visit our tiniest brother Ezra.

There were so many cute presents waiting for him from all his friends in the NICU.

Ezra was supposed to be sent home on Christmas day.

Best present ever!

They have to be 5 days spell free.

Meaning they can't decide to stop breathing for 5 days in a row.

Christmas was day 5 for Ezra.

Then Christmas morning he decided he wasn't ready yet.

He stopped breathing and his heart rate dropped way down.

The nurses said he actually turned blue and they had to intervene :(

Poor baby.

He had to stay 5 more days.

-Ezra

-Rigdon

And there you have it!

Next time I will share the story of these two sweet boys coming into this world!
