Time Just will not slow down!

This is more of a Journal entry for My Hannah Bea who is 15 months Today!

(beware of length and lack of organization, I am not poetic or a great writer, i just have to get it down someway or another, or it will never happen)

What a fast time it has been, and when i look back i can not believe that Hannah has not always been in our life (all my kids for that matter). Miss Hannah has only been in our family for 15 months... we can still count the months!, But i feel like she has been mine -forever!

I don't know if it is because she is my girl, or its in her nature, or she is just my miracle, but this Baby girl of mine, is Heaven. I truly adore every moment with her, and have since birth. I love feeding time, she is just the cutest eater right now... I love her when she wakes up in the mornings, snuggle time, I love her active exploring time, I love her nap times too... I love to watch her watch Her BIG brothers! Hannah just gets a kick out of them. And the boys are loving how interactive she is getting too.

Hannah loves to smile and give kisses. she is starting to understand how to make people laugh, which is so fun to see her being silly. it gives her so much personality. OH, and she listens so well.

She understands so much. i could say to her "want to go change your diaper"...and she stops what ever she is doing, does and about face and beeline for her room. first time she did this was about a month ago, Jaron and I laughed, because we didn't know where she was going, and then were floored to see her waiting at her changing table...and we thought, NO WAY!

She is starting to say all kinds of words, or at least attempting them. Which counts for me. Hannah has been saying for a while now, "baba, mama, dada, hieee" but has added, " shooo (shoes), diepa (diaper), and wipsss (wipes), Hiya (hyrum)". It is just the best to see the development.

She just brings so much love and joy into our home and i could not imagine life with out her here with us. I honestly thank my Heavenly Father multiple times a day for our sweet Princess. I am amazed at her gentle sweetness, that just pours from her. And feel many times throughout each day that we do not deserve such pure joy and tenderness. But I know that the Lord loves us, and has Trusted us with these tender spirits. And i am grateful everyday for his Trust!...

Love you my Hannah Bea, thank you for being in our Family!

Happy Birthday Hyrum Grant - 6 years!

Hannah Bea's Birth Story

I had a small dinner with some friends and family as a shower, for Hannah, and i was not due for another week. Mom and I had planned to go get our pedicures that weekend. But little did i know that our sweet Hannah was going to make her appearance early :)

I had gone to sleep that Thursday night quite tired, and labored all through the night, the contractions kept waking me up and finally at 6am. So i woke up Jaron to make sure he got off to work on time, and he said "wait, didn't I tell you, i put enough hours in this week, so I have Today off "... I thought to myself, hummm... bet we are having this baby today. So i started to time the contractions...10 minutes apart from 6-7am. Packed my bag (since all my boys were late, i thought i had a good few weeks :) and Jaron and I were off about 9am to the hospital.

BUT i could not leave... Mom and I were planning on doing our pedicures that weekend, so i asked my mom if she would paint my toes... I have had fun pedicures with both my boys... and since she was coming early, i had yucky toes. So my dear mother sat and gave me a quick brush of sparkly pink.... it made me feel much better. I love you mom!!!

Well as we go in to the hospital to check in...my worry are that they will send me home, because i'm not far enough along... Well we were fine, I was at a 4 when we were admitted. Yeah. In our Room about 10:30 and the Epidural at 12pm. Why are epidurals so wonderful and wonderfully uncomfortable to get... man, but are they worth it!

Once the epidural came i was a happy mom! the epidural was so effective my legs this go round were like rocks (or boulders more like). couldn't even move them a bit. My nurse was so awesome. Really supportive and friendly. It was Jaron and I (and in the end a bunch of Medical students) in the Room.

The Nurse told me that the doctor was going to come in and break my water at 4:30 and just a minute or so before the doctor came in my water broke on it's own. The Doc walked in ...I told him i think my water just broke, he said "yup it did, and your baby is ready" So he quickly threw on his doctor gown and gloves and such... and 3 big pushes and 5 minutes are HANNAH was out. it was awesome. Born at 4:30 when i first saw her, she looked almost just like my Wyatt, it made me giggle. But Miss Hannah Bea had sooooo much JET BLACK hair. She was such a sweet happy little baby girl.

So from the time of her wonderful delivery, to even now,

she has been such a dream of a baby. She is my very own

Hannah from Heaven.


The boys are just in love with her.

Our Official Family of 5.

Heading home from the hospital, all cute and girly!

Newborn babies in the home, bring their own bit

of heaven, i feel so close to my Heavenly Father

these last few months. The sweet wonderful

innocence that children bring. I am sooo grateful

for the opportunity i have been giving to raise

a family... it's a challenge but worth it!!!

Thank you dear sweet Hannah Bea for coming

to our family. You are Loved!
