Briley Jane Lowe

Our little Girl made it into this world with a bang!!!!

Briley Jane Lowe came 5 days early... no epidural... 3 1/2 hour labor... and in her "water", and without a name!

Chad was camping with Carson and made it home, just in time to take me to the hospital with my mom! Im so glad they only camped a couple miles away! We were not prepared for her to come that fast, but oh, am I glad she did! I was ready to see her beautiful face and I was ready to be able to breath again :)

We checked in at the hospital at 4:50A.M. and our little girl arrived at 6:42a.m.!

CHAD!!!

My best friend and husband turn 29 this past Monday!

Can I just say how much I love my husband?!?!! I know no one cares, but I just want to have it in "writing" how much I appreciate all my husband does for our family!

Chad works so hard and keeps me in line so that we can have the things we need. He is so good and making sure we are safe in the future and I really am grateful to have someone like that in my life.

Chad is a great husband, who is always concerned about how my day has gone and how I'm feeling. He let's me (not that I need permission) go out with the girls whenever I want, he brings me home Dr. Pepper when he knows my day has been bad, and he still loves me even when Im a crazy, hormonal, pregnant, complaining wife! I LOVE YOU CHAD!!

CHAD IS THE BEST DAD I KNOW!!!!! Im not just saying that because he is the father to my children, but he really is! He has never complained about staying home with the kids while I go out, or been one to get to upset with them. He loves to play with them, and take them out for treats, and loves making them laugh! I LOVE watching him play with the kids, and I think it is so cute that he gets so excited when they run to him at the door when he comes home from work!

Chad you are an AMAZING DADDY!! Thanks for being so great!! I LOVE YOU!

Pregnancy....

Here I am..... 35 weeks pregnant. I don't like taking prego pictures but I decided to take just one. I get so huge that it is really hard to take a picture.....

This pregnancy had been great! It really has not been bad at all! Of course I was tired and sick at the beginning and now I feel like Im a walking zombie but that's expected. This little girl loves to roll around and kick me in the ribs! About a month ago she would push her heel against me and I would touch it, then she would move it to a different spot, then I would touch it.... and we played this cute little chase game all day. It was so cute! I can't wait to meet her and actually have a name for her! I hope we see her and just know what it is... She is coming into a crazy happy loving family that is already so excited to meet her!! Only 1 more MONTH!!!

CARSON

My Carson boy! Man this kid melts my heart!!! He is getting to big!!! Carson lately is full of energy and loves to PLAY!!!!!! No more naps, and early bed times.... nope its up at 6:30 and asleep at 8:30! But he is fun! Carson is almost done with his preschool and it makes me said that he will be done already! he has learned so much while in school! I'm so amazed at the things he tells me about, and what he knows! I'm so glad he goes to The Little School House!

Carson and his dad are BEST BUDS!!!! They love to wrestle and play games with each other and they also like to gang up on mommy! Its actually pretty cute how they play, but man these to are inseparable!! Carson gets so hyper when daddy comes home! He wants Chad's attention and no one else it allowed to have it!

Carson's imagination is AMAZING! I love listening to his stories and watching him color. He is getting really good at drawing faces and if they don't look like anything to me, well to him they look like a spaceship, or a lizard.... seriously i wish i had his imagination some times!

Carson has been so blessed to live by his cousins! he has one little cousin back in Utah that we miss so much! But he has 5 older ones that when they all get together it is AWESOME! he could play all day with them and never get tired! I love seeing them play together it makes me so happy, that i would be so sad if anyone ever moved away or if we had to. Really that would break my heart more then anything!

Carson also has some good buddies he plays with and they are all the same age! We enjoy getting together with them too!
BEST BUDS!!!

Watching Disney Junior together!
Making a Leprechaun trap with his dad! That was really a fun project for them!

The three boys, Carson, Will and Carson

I just LOVE this Picture!!!

He loves to dress up! His cousin Tyler taught him about Hero's and Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and mire, so we play dress up a lot!

What a stud!

His first SMILEY face he drew for me! I LOVE IT!

LOVE YOU CARSON!!! THANKS for being the BESTEST big brother, and cutest son EVER!!!

Aubree Ann

I wanted to post about my little girl! Man we love her sooo much! She is a ball of fire let me tell you! Our little girl won't be our baby anymore pretty soon, and it makes us a little sad. She only got to be the baby for a short time, and I think the transition will be hard for her.

But we are enjoying her and loving her vibrant personality!

Things we love about Aubree.... She started walking at 14 months and she has been on the go ever since! She loves to chase her daddy and Carson and loves them chasing her! When Aubree is in a "mood the only thing to make her happy is to DANCE!!! we play the freeze dance game and she will put her hands in the air and freeze! So cute! She has got some GREAT MOVES!!! She wants to do everything that her bigger brother does! She copies him and it really is sweet, cause Carson lets her play with him! Aubree loves to READ!!! all day long if she could, she would grab a book and make her way to me, sit on my lap (which is shrinking by the day) and make you read a book. When she is done, she gets up and gets another book! She will also sit on her own and make a little book mess around her and look at all the pictures!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! She is talking more and using signs for some things. She says mama, dada, dayday (carson), hi, byebye, baby, lily, numnum, thank you, baba, all done, please, nightnight, vroom... and i think that's it oh and a lot of animal sounds. she will recognize the animal and make the sound they make! She is going to be pretty smart!

Her "cheese" smile!

She thinks she is such a big girl! This bounce place is the best for birthday's and Aubree wants to run around like the big kids and bounce!! One night after dinner we found Aubree sneaking a snack :)

My finger sucker! She has the first two fingers in her mouth with the other thumb rubbing her top lip. So cute!

Shaking her BOOTY!

She loves her glasses and actually wears them all the time!!

Fingers again Reading her book!

Bath time is fun time at out house! These kids are too cute, they love to splash each other and laugh at each other!

One of her first experiences on the swing!

Our little girl is getting so big and we love her so much!

Discovery kingdom

During Easter break we took the kids to Discovery kingdom! I love that we have an amusement park so close to us! The kids were so good during the day and loved the little shows we watched! Chad took Aubree on a ride and I'm pretty sure she is not a fan!! Carson on the other hand is a little DARE DEVIL!!! he wants to ride all the rides that he's too small to ride! He still to this day is disappointed that he didn't get to go on the Tower of Terror at Disneyland! So Chad snuck him on a ride that he was clearly too short to ride. He had him step on his toes and stretch it was cute, that his daddy wanted to make Carson's day. So they went on it and he had so much fun! I love taking little day vacations with my family!!! I was so proud of Carson. This really was a proud moment for me. We were looking at the elephants and the workers said we could ask them questions if we wanted to. So Carson started asking question and they were actually legidiment questions! He is in this phase where he NEEDS to know EVERYTHING! And I love it because I know that he is learning! Such a proud mommy!

Aubree is AWESOME at making animal noises! She loves elephant so I was excited that she got to see them!

Carson was just smiling on this ride the whole time! Uncle Kyle said he would just laugh! It was so cute watching him! Of course that was all I could do.... was watch.... bummer

Gymnastics

So I have been putting Carson in different little sports to keep us on the go, and to entertain him. I want him to be exposed to different sports so he can find on ehe really likes.
During the rainy season we decided to do Gymnastics! Carson was so great at it! he was the only little boy in the class but it didn't phase him at all! He loved jumping on the trampoline and doing summersaults! I love watching him be active!!
