Snow Snow Snow!!!

So it snowed a ton the other night and Alaska is beautiful! Everything is white! Bryce, Dillan and I took a 9 o clock snow machine ride on Tuesday night and it was sooo fun! One of the funnest nights yet! We are headed to San Diego on Saturday and excited for some more beach time! If I don't write more before Christmas I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! We Love you all!!!!!!

This is the Life!!!!

So we are with my family in Maui for Thanksgiving and having so much fun! Elle has been a blast, she was an angel on the plane ride over, we were so lucky!! Hopefully it will be as easy on the way home:) She is catching up on her beauty sleep here in Dad's chair! The weather has been amazing and we are soaking up the heat! It is like 30 degrees in Alaska right now, a 55 degrees difference, so to say the least we are going to be cold when we get home! Well we love and miss you all and have the best Thanksgiving ever we love you all!!!

Aloha!!! Happy Turkey Day from Maui!!!!

Momma and Baby Elle out at dinner!

The family visits!!!!!

So Bryce's parents and Grandma Genny came and met Elle for the first time this last week! It was a blast! They had so much fun playing grandma and grandpa, and great grandma!!! Elle just loved them and mom loved having visitors and so much wonderful help around the house, they were amazing!! While they were here Bryce took them on a plane ride all over Alaska, they saw all kinds of animals and flew right to the tops of the mountains. We miss them so much and can't wait to see them at Christmas time.

Elle Ryann's Blessing!

Elle was blessed today by her father and grandpas! I didn't get any pictures with her bonnet but I am going to try for more tomorrow. She wasn't a happy camper in her dress, it wasn't as compfy as the clothes she is used to, but it was just so darn cute! She was such a good girl in her blessing though she didn't cry a bit! Dad did such a good job and gave her a beautiful blessing, he is definitely smitten!!!!

Some More pictures of Elle

Here are some more pictures of Elle, we just can't take enough! She is getting bigger she finally is back to her birth weight! And she has grown 1 inch since birth! We are just having so much fun with her. She is definitely loved, I don't think she ever gets put down. Bryce's parents and Grandmother are up visiting right now and we have had so much fun with them. They have been so much help I love having them around!

Our newest addition!

Well our bundle of Joy finally arrived! Elle Ryann was born on October 14th at 4:23 pm. She was 20 1/2 inches and 8 lbs 1 oz! She is the most precious little girl we could have ever hoped for! Everyone is doing wonderful and trying to catch up on some beauty sleep!

Here is her story...

Well our little girl didn't want to come quite yet. She was very cozy is mom's belly, but we were all overly ready for you to get here. After three days of being monitored at the hospital for you not moving enough, I told the doctor I was ready and I was going to be induced later that day! I was so excited Elle, I think this was the most exciting news I had ever heard! I was finally going to meet you! I went into the hospital at 4:30 pm and was induced, 15 hours of labor later I was still at 3 cm dialated.. not enough for you to get here! I opted for an epidural and that was the best decision of the day! Within 20 minutes my water had broke, and I was at a 9 and ready to push. I pushed for about 1 hour and at 4:23 pm you were here and PERFECT. Dr Harrison threw you immediately up on my chest and you took your first breath and didn't evern cry. You looked right into my eyes and knew who I was and I was so smitten and knew my life would never be the same, it was always going to be better with you. Daddy, held back tears and we are just so excited you are going to be part of our family, we love you so much Elle Ryann!
