Alex's Blessing, BYU Football and Babes Fried Chicken....

Bryan's family has been in town for Alex's Blessing and the newly ranked #9 BYU Football. We all went out to dinner Monday night and I suggested Babe's Fried Chicken. They wanted a Texas experience. When we got there I know they where definitely questioning my suggestion. Roanoke is small and it is kind of in the middle of no where and they are doing a lot of construction in front of the restaurant. But as soon as we got a table and the food started coming, they were sold.
So here are the pictures. I don't have any of the football game because I didn't go, but the guys said it was an amazing game.
Bryan's Grandma made Alex's Blessing Dress and it was amazing.

Bradley and Alex

Here are some new pictures of Bradley and Alex together. Bradley is so good with Alex. Whenever we are home and she starts to cry he runs over and brings her a toy. Usually it is a lego, but it's something. He will also pat her arms and tell her not to cry.

The other day we were driving in the car and Alex was freaking out because she was hungry and Bradley said "let me out so I can take care of her." If we wouldn't have been sitting in traffic we would have let him out, but it was so sweet and he was very serious. I am sure that once they get older he will be telling his friends to let him out of the car so he can go take care of someone that made her cry. He also likes to follow me into her room when I am changing her and he has made it his job to turn the light off and on for me.







I had started this burp cloth the day before I had her and am just now finished. I am really liking the cloth diapers as burp cloths. They soak so much up and wash up really well. I need to make some more since they seem to be constantly dirty. I hope to get several more made in the next week since Bryan is off. You can't see it very well but the A is surrounded by several red circles. It was as close to polka dots as I could get.

Updates on Alex

Here are some more recent pictures of Alex. My mom and I had a little to much fun playing dress up.

Alex has one dimple just like Bradley, their dimples are even on the same side. She has my dark complexion and her hair is turning light. She is a great baby and very easy to please, she only cries when she is hungry and even then as soon as you pick her up she stops. She is a great nurser and doesn't miss a meal. She has nursed great since she came out and since I could feed a village we seem to be attached at the ... Alex is still in the eating, pooping, sleeping stage but is starting to be awake more and more. We haven't ventured out much because I don't like to take a newborn out in public and I don't know how I would even be able to with 2 kids and one being as outgoing as Bradley is. I have gotten a wrap/sling and love it. It keeps Alex completely covered and is really comfortable to wear.

Bradley really likes Alex and asks a lot about her. He is really good about not bothering her. He is most interested in the breast pump than anything else. He doesn't like it when she cries and he loves to sing her a song.

While my parents were here we got a lot done. My mom and dad can do anything, so we got curtains hung, garage organized, tubs put in attic storage, trimmed and cleaned both front and back yards, hung decorations in Alex's room, fixed the crib, fixed the toilet and there is so much more. Thanks again mom and dad.

Thank you to everyone who brought us meals and has helped out. We really appreciate it.













Bradley and chopsticks!

Before I had Alex, my mom, Bradley and I went to Genghis Grill and tried it. It was very yummy and Bradley was so funny. He insisted on eating with chop sticks the whole time. He actual ate a ton of food and did really well.
