We love you David!

We don't have much to say about this one: We're going to miss David, but we're so proud that he is serving a mission. We're sure his humor, fun loving attitude, and strong testimony will greatly benefit the people in Canada. He did add a lot of spice to our family and that will definitely be absent these next 2 years.














Bradley's Shower...

This stroller is the greatest! The back reclines, a car seat snaps right in, it's sooo small, turns on a dime, provides tons of shade, very light weight, and look how easy it is to fold! You seriously can't beat that. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Rose.











This crib is sooo cute!
And the best part, it will last for all our kids.
Garrett & I can't thank our moms (& dads) enough!
We love you.

I have waited way too long to post about my amazing shower! My excuse: We didn't take any pictures and posts just aren't the same without them. But I have to thank my mom and sisters; they are awesome for putting it together. And thank you so much for everyone who came. I expected it to be like my wedding shower, but little did I know baby showers are way better! The food, decorations, and company were great at both, but the presents for Bradley were so much fun to open. I pictured my cute little baby in all the outfits, blankets, playing with the toys, getting pushed around in the stroller, and hopefully sleeping long nights in the crib (a mom can wish can't she?).

Thanks again. Mom, Jamie, Brittany, & Kylie- I couldn't have asked for a better family!

We did it... Went to a Birthing Class.

I didn't realize there was so much to learn until I went to a birthing class! Garrett & I only had to close our eyes a couple times! Besides that, we really enjoyed and appreciated having gone. Being a little more prepared for what is bound to come makes the anticipation less nerve racking. I don't think Garrett knew there was stuff he needed to do and remember when labor starts; he was probably planning on watching whatever game was on:) But really, he is so helpful and is always taking care of me and Bradley. It helps knowing that he's always there and that I'm not going through this alone.
Enough with the sap. The best part: Seeing how awesome the rooms are. The nurse said that the rooms are big enough to have an audience if I wanted. I don't know about that, but enough space for Garrett to pace around will be nice.

Bradley is already SPOILED!

Garrett & I were a little worried that we wouldn't be able to find Bradley some clothes that wouldn't make him look gay, so we went shopping! Burlington had tons of baby stuff. They even had striped shirts and plaid shorts that didn't match... Now he can look just like his dad. Garrett did find the cutest Nike, Jordan matching outfits with beanies and booties; of course that meant we had to buy 5 sets (one in every color). We also hit up the famous Babies-R-Us and registered! It was a lot more stressful then registering for our wedding though.
