Update

WOW its been forever since I have posted anything, and a lot of thing have happened.
First off Garrett arrived on March 1. After 2 long weeks of having contractions we finally got him here. We went in twice for false alarms. Once at 36 weeks and the other at 38. We would get to the hospital having contractions and as soon as they got me all hooked up to the monitors the contractions would drift away. Man I was so frustrated and so uncomfortable. The day before we had him my doctor striped my membranes and that made the contractions even harder. We finally went in on March 1 and they hooked me to the monitor and checked me. I was dilated to a five and my water sack was bugling. They normally would have sent me home but I had a really nice nurse and Doctor that said nope she is staying. I was happy to be finally past the triage. They got me to my room and the contractions really started coming. I got my epidural by the way the best epidural ever i still had full control of my legs and felt pressure but no pain. And soon after they broke my water and 1 1/2 later we had a baby. Garrett was born weighing 8 lb 5 oz. and 20 inches long. Compared to Carson's Delivery the time was about the same but enjoyed Garrett's delivery a lot more. I don't know if it because I knew what was going to happen and how it should feel or if it was my doctor and the care we received I'm not sure but I would totally do it again ( maybe lets wait a few years). Garrett is a really good baby. He doesn't really cry unless he is hurt, but he will grunt and squawk. He is doing two four hour stretches during the night. We feel so blessed to have two good sons.
Carson turned two on April 2. We went to Amanda and Jarred's house. He had so much fun playing with his cousins. Carson is really starting to use more of his words. It seems like he says a new word each day. Its really exciting to see him learn new things. Carson is all boy he loves dirt, cars and motorcycles and anything with a ball. He loves his brother and is really good with Garrett.
I will post pictures soon.

Baby Garrett 32 Weeks

Today we had a 3d ultra sound. I was fun to see our baby again. He was being a stinker and wouldn't let us get a good profile pic of him. The ultra sound tech even brought our a little vibrator to use to try and get him turned, but with no luck.

The first thing she said is he has hair. At least some peach fuzz. The arrow on the picture is pointing to it.

This is his leg. He already has chubby legs. I love to see rolls on my baby. :)


This is best picture of his profile we got. Looks like another McDaniel nose and maybe chubby cheeks :)

Christmas

This year for Christmas we traveled up to St. George. We had so much fun. Santa came over to the Johnson's house and Christmas eve eve. Carson wasn't so sure about him at first but then realized if he wanted a treat he had to see Santa. The pictures below are in the wrong order. I can't seem to figure out how to upload them right. Oh well



Christmas morning. If you look close Carson found his cousins tricycle and decided that was better then what Santa brought him.

Carson making sure Santa was OK.

This year we made homemade Cinnamon roll. Carson loved to help mommy make them.

We also went to the Mesa Temple to see the Christmas light. Wow we think the Mesa Temple light display was amazing. We went with Amanda and Jarred and Kids. And Jarred's brother Josh and his family. It was great fun. Compared to the SLC light I liked them better because we didn't have to dress up in our winter coats and still freeze our bums off.
We didn't even take our coats!!! LOVED IT.











Kitchen Table

We got this crazy idea to refinish our kitchen table in November. Any this is the finsihed project it took us 2 1/2 weeks to do but. We love it.

Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween we went to the ward dinner and the trunk or treat. We had a lot of fun. Carson was very good at handing out the candy.

Carson was the football and Cody and I were the refs.
Thanks to my mom for doing our shirts we got many complaints saying wow we couldn't tell those were hand made.

Fall Fun and update

Carson and I have been having a lot of fun on some adventures. We went to touch a truck. Where all these big Trucks, tractors, and Fire engines come and then we can climb inside and have a look around. Carson was funny he wanted to look at them but want me to hold his hand. Until he saw and petted a dog that was there and then he thought it was OK if mom isn't holding my hand. I think he had fun. We just wish daddy could come with us. It is always more fun with daddy.
Not sure about the fire engine.


We had the opportunity to go to The Mason's ward camp out. We had fun, but then again wished daddy could come with us.

It was really cold in the morning but we still wanted to be outside so what does I do puts on Carson coat and hiking boots over his PJ's and away he went go.




I caught this picture to late because he was just lying there looking up at the trees. but then he saw me with the camera and got up.










What a big helper he was. Although he never left my side, and cried and woke up the whole camp when mom had to go to the bathroom.
Little update on the family.
Carson: He starting to talk more and is signing more and please. He is going to nursery but cries almost the entire time. He loves to read and read his truck book and make truck sounds. He also makes car sounds when he is playing with them on the floor. He is so much and so glad he came to our family.
Ashley and baby:We are doing good. The baby is 18 week ago. I'm feel the baby move all the time. I was called to be the Secretary in the primary. That has sure kept me busy but its good.
We find out the sex of the baby on the 26Th of Oct. I'm hoping its a girl but I'm good with either one. Leave a comment on your guess of whether the baby is a boy or girl
Cody: Has been super busy with work. He went to Dallas Texas for a week and finished the Management Training Program. He is the official assistant manager now. Cody was called to Priest Quorum adviser. Cody has to work every Saturday so we miss him on the weekends when all the fun seems to happen.
All in all we are doing good and like it here in Prescott.
