First Week

Our sleeping little angel.
Love from Big Brother Parker
Logan is so happy to be holding his little sister.
Bradyn just loves her.
Grandpa came for a quick visit to meet Audrey and to see the boys.

Well, the first week of having Audrey home has come and gone. She is such a sweet baby and a huge blessing in our family. She sleeps great and is just a little doll. She has had some high bilirubin levels so, we are trying to watch that and get it under control. Hopefully the whites of her eyes will actually be white soon instead of being yellow like they are now. Grandma and Grandpa left this afternoon which we are all very sad about :( My mom was thankfully able to be here since the day before Audrey was born until today. That of course was a huge blessing for our family. She helped us so much!!!!! My dad was able to come on Thursday and be a BIG surprise for the boys on Friday morning. They were so EXCITED to see him. So, now our family ventures the new baby on our own. I think that we will do just fine especially since this coming week is Les' last week of school. Can I just remind everyone how extremely excited I am for this!!!!!!!!!!

7 HAPPY YEARS!!!!!!!!

Today is Les and my 7th wedding anniversary. It has been a great 7 years filled with many births and happiness. We have been blessed with 4 beautiful children in our 7 years and I couldn't be happier. I have a husband who works hard to support our family and is a great dad. I am one lucky lady. To my wonderful hubby, I love you and I look forward to MANY MANY more years to come.

I don't have any pics of the two of us on this computer so, a great pic of just him will have to do.

More Pictures of Audrey and Fam.

Audrey Ruth Hicks

At least she was not as big as Logan
It is my Dad's fault if I have a big head!

No more pictures Please.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LES!!!!!!!!!

Today Les turned the big "29". As always the kids were pretty excited that it was Dad's birthday. They all helped make his cake which was actually really cute. They are really great helpers when it comes to cooking. They do such a good job. Parker really wanted to buy Les some toys for his birthday, but I was able to get him to stop thinking about that. It was funny because he wanted to get him toys that he of course wanted.

Here is Les opening a present that Parker put together himself. First there was a picture that he drew for Dad.
Then he put in some Legos that he put together. It was funny because I think that Bradyn was a little nervous that Parker had given away his legos. It was cute.
I would have put more candles on the cake, but to tell you the truth I didn't want to have to light them all. Arent' I just so lazy?
And of course everyone helped Dad blow out the candles!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doctors Appointment

Today I had a Dr. appointment and they did an ultrasound to estimate how big the baby is right now. Apparently they are estimating her to be about 7 lbs 15 oz right now so, basically 8 lbs. I am 37 1/2 weeks and they won't induce until I am 39 weeks. He said that she "shouldn't" be over 9lbs and even if she is, then I already know that I can deliver a 9lb 5.6 oz baby. Since, that is how big Logan was. Gee, thanks!!!!!! Like I really want to have to deliver another huge baby but, I guess I will do what I have to do. Hopefully, she isn't tooooooo BIG. The outfit I have for her to come home in is really little and cute. I think that I will have to bring 2 outfits just in case. I am 3 1/2 centimeters dialated compared to the 2 1/2 last week so, we will see what happens. I am not holding my breath though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some old photos I found

At the beginning of the school year Bradyn's school had a Western dinner thing. I don't think that I ever posted anything about it and since I came across these pictures, I thought that I would share. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

My cowboys!!!!!!!! Aren't they just tooooooooo cute?!?!?!?!?
Adorable
Each class sang "Texas" songs. Texans really do have some state pride.
Watching the performance

Bradyn's Birthday!!!!!!!!!

Last week, Bradyn turned 6 years old, can you believe it. So, I feel kind of like a bad mother for not posting about his birthday sooner, but oh well. Bradyn was able to have his party at a local pizza place. It is kind of like Chuck e Cheese, but smaller and way less crowded. It was great!!! Bradyn had such a good time and he was able to invite a few friends so, that made it even better.

Blowing out the candles!
STAR WARS LEGOS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grandma Sue got Bradyn a punching bag and it has been a real hit :)
