Ronnie's Blessing

Sunday was Ronnie's special day!  We blessed Ronnie in Redmond so all of our family could be there.  He looked so cute in his blessing outfit and Thank You Heidi for that perfect blessing blanket.  We had a lot of family there to support us.  Garrett did such a wonderful job giving him the blessing and of course, I cried the whole time.  (someone told me to get used to crying now that I am a mom!)  Thank you so much to all of our wonderful family for always being there for us and loving our precious little boy! 

Ronnie's First Christmas!

This Christmas was the best one I have ever had because this year, Garrett and I got a wonderful baby boy!  We got to go home for two whole weeks and spend a lot of time with family!  It is was so nice and Ronnie really enjoyed visiting all of his family!

Weekend in SLC with Family

This past weekend, we had a family trip to Salt Lake City.  It was my niece Madyson's 10th birthday on Saturday and so we decided to celebrate it by spending the weekend in Salt Lake and perhaps create a new family tradition.  (last year we spent a weekend in SLC before mom and dad went to New York) We stayed at Little America Hotel which is always so much fun!  The kids really enjoyed the swimming pool and the best part was the weekend breakfast buffet.  We went over to the Grand America Hotel, looked at the decorated windows, got the best tasting butter cookie ever, and Ira even bought some delicious Macaroons to try!  Then we took the train (to the much delight of all the kids) downtown.  There was a lot of fun things to see at City Creek including a fun train at Deseret Book.  Then we went to the Joseph Smith Building and had dinner at The Garden.  After dinner, we walked around the beautiful Temple Square and looked at all the lights.  It was pretty cold and it was fun to have a little snow.  Ronnie spent the whole time nice and warm in his stroller.  We went back to the hotel, the kids went swimming, Mady opened her presents, and then mom read a Christmas story while we had cookies and hot cocoa. 
Sunday morning we all woke up early and went to the Conference Center to watch the Tabernacle Choir in Music and the Spoken word.  It was really neat and the funnest part was watching our whole family run down the sidewalk trying to catch the train!  We had a delicious breakfast at the hotel and enjoyed spending time together.  What a fun weekend and it will be something we look forward to doing each year. 

Baby Traeger and Little Ronnie!  They are so much fun to put together.  Fun Friends!

One Month

It's hard to believe that a month has already gone by!  Ronnie is one month old!  Wow!  It is fun to see how he is growing and changing everyday!  We love you our little Ronnie Boy!

 We also have our Christmas Tree up and it is fun to watch Ronnie just sit and stare at it!  This year is going to be so fun!  Ronnie's first Christmas!

Little Ronnie meets Grandpa Ronnie

The absolute best experience we had this past week was introducing Little Ronnie to Grandpa Ronnie.  We knew that naming our little boy after Garrett's Grandpa was perfect and so special.  It was such a special experience when they met.  Granndpa Ronnie was really touched.  Ronnie just kept looking up at him almost like he knew exactly who was holding him. 

 Four Generations: Ron, Deran, Garrett, Ronnie

What a special relationship they have already.  It is going to be so fun watching Ronnie grow up and spend time with His Grandpa! 

A Wonderful Weekend!

This past weekend was so great!  We got to spend several days being with family and introducing them to our little Ronnie!

 Meeting Grandma Velma

 Grandpa Deran and Aunt Aubree really had a fun time with Ronnie.  It was so cute!

 Sunday was his first time to church.  Of course I had to dress him up so cute!  He looked like such a sweet little gentleman!

 Ronnie meeting baby Traeger!  They are going to be best friends!

One fun fact, Ronnie absolutely loves getting his hair washed!  He is just liking having a bath, but he has always loved getting his hair wet and having mommy scrubbing his hair.  It is so cute to watch!  He is definitely my boy.  That is my favorite too!

Ronnie's First Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Little Ronnie!  We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family!  This year we are so thankful for our beautiful baby boy!  Garrett and I absolutely love watching him grow everyday!  And isn't he so cute in his little outfit!  (mommy likes dressing him up!)

Gettin' Bigger!

Time is sure flying by!  Our little Ronnie Boy is two weeks old today!  I can't believe how fast these two weeks have gone by!  Garrett and I have loved every minute of being a Mommy and a Daddy!
Ronnie is getting bigger and getting cuter every day! He is changing so fast and I always have my camera ready cause I just love taking pictures of him!
We went to the Doctor today and our little guy is now 7 lbs. 13 oz. and is 21 inches long.  He is so happy (for most of the day!) He loves to sit and look around and keeps mommy and daddy busy with all the poopy diapers!  We love our little guy and are excited to go home this next week for Thanksgiving and see all the family!
