Carving Pumpkins

Make a Smilebox slideshow

We had so much fun carving pumpkins this year. It's a good thing that we carved pumpkins outside because we had "pumpkin guts" everywhere. It was much easier to just spray the porch off with the hose than trying to pick up tons of pumpkin seeds off the kitchen floor. Wyatt's pumpkin was much bigger than he is. Thanks dad for helping us carve our pumpkins.

Wyatt turns 2 weeks

I can't honestly believe it has already been two weeks since Wyatt was born, then on the other hand I can't hardly remember what my life was like without Wyatt in it. I can't brag enough about what an amazing little boy he is. I am so blessed.
We went to his two week doctor appointment today. He is now measuring a whopping 8 pounds 2 ounces. What a big change from the 6 pounds 14 ounces he was when we left the hospital. Obviously he is a good eater.

A Happy Family

I am so lucky to have been blessed by such wonderful kids. This is day two home with Wyatt and so far things have been great. This first night home Wyatt only woke up three times and last night he only woke up twice. The girls have been AMAZING. They've been cleaning the house and I've even taught them to do laundry. Rylie is having a little tougher time. I think it was hard for her for me to be in the hospital. She is going through a little jealousy faze of the baby. It's hard for her to not get the attention that she was getting before. Hopefully she'll get through this and know that mom still loves her. We'll have to have some mom-Rylie time.

Wyatt is absolutely WONDERFUL. He is a great baby and only cries when he is hungry or naked. He spent an hour this morning just looking around and I think he has found his tongue. He makes the cutest little faces. WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!

I am so thankful that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the awesome opportunity to be a mother. There is no greater calling in the whole world. I thank my Father in Heaven everyday that he has given me 5 wonderful children. I only pray that I can live up to the expectations to raise these precious little spirits. I love you Colton, McKenzie, Kaylie, Rylie and Wyatt.

Wyatt Robert Connelly

Wyatt Robert Connelly entered this world on Wednesday, October 15 2008 at 1:29 am. After a very long and difficult labor and delivery. I am so grateful to amazing doctors who prevented me from having an emergency hysterectomy. I spent 15 hours in a long drawn out labor. Lucky for us Wyatt tolerated the labor and we were blessed with a beautiful little boy. He is an amazing little boy. His sisters totally love him and mom and dad are just as proud of such a handsome little boy. He weighed in at a whopping 7 pounds 3 ounces and 19 inches long. My BIGGEST baby. He has a tiny little button nose, beautiful blue eyes and very blond hair. We thank our Heavenly Father for sending us such a beautiful baby boy. McKenzie was able to watch the delivery and when I asked her if all the pain and needles was all worth it she said it was. I have to agree with her tenfold. This little boy is all worth it. Special thanks to Mindy and Russell for letting Kaylie and Rylie spend the day and have a sleepover. I don't know what I would have done without you. They had an amazing day with you.
