Brigham Scott Fuller

Our precious little boy is finally here! Although I was induced, he came in only two and a half hours. He was born on August 25th at 11:19pm. He weighed 7 lbs, 12 oz and was 20 inches long. He is healthy and perfect in every way!




Scott is pretty whooped over his little boy! I don't think there's anything better in the whole world than a dad snuggling his baby.
The girls have all been great with him. The worst thing is the fights over who gets to hold him. Shaersti will hold him for hours and still be mad when you take him away.
I have been worried about how Paysli would react to a new baby but she has been awesome. She can't seem to stop kissing him.
I'm pretty sure he loves her right back.
We are so thankful to have him here, we just couldn't be more blessed!

That's As Round As I Get!

The night before our precious package arrives... and thank heavens!

First Day of School

Summer is finally over and the kids are off to school!
Shaersti is in 1st grade and has been so excited she can hardly stand it. 4 recesses and school lunch... what could be better?

Anne is in a little home preschool across the park, Ms. Susie's. So far she is loving it and she's excited to go every day.
And me? I love having kids in school. I love that they have something to do every day and they don't sit around and tell me how bored they are. I love that they get to spend fun time with other kids and constructive time learning. Then they get to come home and spend time with our family and I have the patience to be a great mom after a little time off!!!

Moms Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday to me! This is my silly (and sweet) girls decorating a birthday cake for me.

Our First Missing Tooth

Shaersti has been waiting and waiting and it finally happened... she lost her first tooth. That is, after she tugged, pulled and tweeked all day. She is super proud!

It's Still A Boy!

Because I had placenta previa, we got to have another ultrasound last week. Everything looks great and our little boy is growing right on schedule (if not a little ahead). We will get to meet him by the end of August and kiss all over those terribly chubby cheeks!

Fuller Family Reunion

A few weeks ago we got to go to our Fuller Family Reunion. As always, it was a lot of fun. Lots of thanks to Jodi and Aimee for pulling it all together! It was at my family's property, Camp Mary, by Bryce Canyon. Dave was brave enough to take a whole bunch of kids for a ride on his awesome machine.
Paysli loved all the attention she got from everyone.
Shaersti was in her own outdoor heaven and never stopped playing.
We hardly ever saw Anne. She was either playing with all her cousins or hanging out in Aimee's trailer with her i-pad.
We had a neat "patriotic emblems" ceremony on July 4th. Stan put on his military uniform and taught us lots of cool things. They taught us the appropriate way to burn a retired flag and brought a whole box of old, used flags for us to burn while they played patriotic music. It was really reverent and a really neat experience.
We went on a short, fun hike and got to play in the water.



We shot shotguns and rifles and had fun contests.

Nothing like a pregnant lady shooting a gun!
And there's really nothing like a cute dad.
Anne was more into relaxing in the shade than shooting. Although... when she gets a gun, she can empty all the bullets in about 5 seconds flat.
The best thing of all was all the time the girls got with their cousins they don't get to see very often.
