Peyton's 3rd Birthday and Miles' Blessing

We celebrated Peyton's 3rd birthday and had Miles' blessing on March 12, 2011. It was a really nice day and we were able to have family from both sides come.

Peyton wanted to play with every toy right away.

So excited! When he looked in this present the first thing he said was "OH MY GOSH" and starting running in circles around the bag. It was really funny.

Miles was so good on his blessing day. He is such a good baby and hardly ever cries.

Jeff did such a great job with the blessing. He is such a great Dad, I am so proud of him.

In March we bought a play set for the kids and Peyton was so excited to put it together. We finally had a semi warm and clear day to put it up. My two brothers Sam and Kyle came down to help put it together.

Trying to figure out where the pieces go.

Peyton was so excited!

Peyton wanted to be like Daddy and put the pencil behind his ear.

Spring Fever

It was nice enough weather to go outside yesterday so we decided to get out of the house and go on a walk. This kids loved it! They didn't make a peep the whole time. I can't wait until we can do this more often because I have major spring fever!

Before the walk. Miles is trying to open his eyes but it's to bright.

Miles Scott Benedict

Miles Scott Benedict arrived Wednesday December 29, 2010 at 1:16 am. 7lbs and 19 3/4 inches. Everything happened really fast, by the time I realized I was having contractions it was about 10:45 so I called my mom at 11:00 to see if she could come down to stay with Peyton. We left and were at LDS Hospital by 11:30. When we arrived the nurse checked and I was dilated to a 6 and I really wanted my epidural. I had to wait longer than I wanted for it because he was with somebody else at the moment. Finally the anesthesiologist came and I felt a million times better. When my doctor arrived he broke my water and I started pushing immediately. After pushing for two contractions he was out! I still couldn't believe he was two weeks early and I couldn't believe it happened in only three hours. Luckily I have such a great husband and mom who cleaned my house and brought everything I needed to the hospital.

This was after the epidural so I was feeling much better.
