The BRYCE Mobile....

Whaaawhoeey!
We have like 100 nick names for Bryce already, but Bryce-Mobile is one of our favorites! :) Here's some updated pic's of the little guy... He's already 2 months old!!

Lots of sleepy-head moments... still sleeping a lot...

I just cant get enough of this little guy!!! I love holding and cuddling him...

... and so does Brielle :) These 2 are already best buddies. Brielle just loves Bryce and absolutely loves to help take care of him... maybe too much at times :)

Peek-a-BOO!!! I know, his eyes are just HUGE! :) We love it! We just love our little Bryce Mobile!!

Baby Bryce has arrived!!

Baby Bryce was born on July 19th, 2009 at 11:11 pm. He weighed in at exactly 8 lbs and 20 1/2 inches long. He is healthy and happy so far and is so dang cute we just love him to pieces!! Here are a plethora of pictures that I just had to post :)

Brielle holding Bryce for the very first time. She absolutlely loves this baby and was so excited to meet him at the hospital!

Bryce and me snuggling after a "quick" delivery :) :)

I believe this was Bryce's first time to open his eyes all the way. I know, he has sooooo much hair :)

This is my wonderful mother (aka Grandma Hoyal) with baby Bryce. She flew in the day after he was born to stay with me for 2 weeks. Wow, was it great to have her here with me! She was such a big help! Thanks momma!!

Little munchkin!!

Brielle taking it all in!! She could not stop being around Bryce!!

Brielle can't get enough of this baby! She is constantly hugging him ("soft hugs" we call them) and giving him kisses. So cute! She really has been such a big helper since Bryce has arrived. She is quite the big sister already :)

Tummy time for those gassy moments... yes, gassy already..

Ahhh, sweet little baby!

Daddy and Bryce spending time together. Scott is like the happiest dad alive right now... On cloud 9 with his new baby BOY!! So fun to watch him with the kids cause he's such an awesome dad!

My mom burping the little guy.... What a little munchkin!!

Soooo here's a brief story of Bryce being born... Lets just say Bryce wanted to get out of the womb as quickly as possible. :) He came very fast! 3 weeks before Bryce was born, I was first dilated to 4 cm and 80% effaced, which I thought "wow, this baby is anxious and ready to come out" ....another 2 weeks went by and at my next doctor's appointment, I was dilated to 5 cm and 80% effaced!! Again, I thought "WOW, this baby is soooo ready!!" At this point I felt like a ticking time bomb about to go off. I had been having contractions throughout the last week, but nothing to worry about since I still felt pretty good. So Sunday night the 19th, a week after my last doctor's apt, my water FINALLY broke at 10:10pm. Scott and I rushed to the hospital and an hour later, baby Bryce was born! He arrived at exactly 11:11pm, and was a whole week early. Wowzers! I am so grateful Scott was home and we were able to make it to the hospital in time :) Everything went really well and we are so happy to have Bryce be a part of our family!!

Some preger shots and family pics!

The final week of pregnancy!! Well, 2 weeks left, but planning on 1 since I am already dilated to 5 cm and 80 % effaced. So I could literally go any day now... well, any minute really! :)

Another shot to give a different angle of the belly :)

I swear, Grandma Sue's is the place for family pictures. We always take pictures at her house and here's a couple of the latest. I must admit, I was feeling super pregnant.... I am not even quite sure how I lasted to take so many pics that day :)

Brielle never fails a funny face for the camera! This was our family picture when I was about 7 months preger. Ahh, seems so long ago already..

The fabulous 4!!

So here we are.. the fabulous 4 pregnant ladies who are "taking over" with our growing bellies!! Me, Heather, Alyson and Brandalyn all lined up in correct order of due date. So it looks like I am going first! :) (I am about 38 weeks in this pic) ..Every time we take a picture, we've got the line up going on. Really, it has been so fun to be pregnant with the most awesome girls! We are all neighbors and hang out all the time and really have a blast when we get together. I am so glad to have gone through these past 9 months with each of them.

Below is a picture from our "group baby shower" we had for each other. Since for each of us girls, this isn't our 1st baby and we weren't sure what to do for a baby shower, we decided to do our own little baby shower with all of us together. We ended up going to dinner at Olive Garden and then to a movie while the hubbys stayed home with the little ones. What a fun night and how fun it was to see everyone stare at us as we walked around together so pregnant and wobbly!!

Brielle and her swimming.....

Brielle is just the cutest little fish I know. She has been taking lessons for about 3 months or so and has become quite the swimmer. Brielle loves it and we absolutely love her teachers!! Here she is preparing for her dive...

...And now for the entry into the pool with her dive...

...Dive into the pool and up on her back she floats and swims to the side to do it all over again.

And of course swimming just wouldn't be the same without Taeya!! These girls are swimming junkies!! They are so good together in that pool. It really is quite amazing what they can do already. Only at 2 years old too!!

Playtime on the steps at the end of lessons is always encouraging. These girls sooo look forward to playing in the water together after lessons...Brielle and her flippers.. She really struggles to walk in them, but in the water, she swims across the pool really fast..

It's noodle time!! Brielle loves the noodle.. I guess it kinda gives her a break from all her many laps across the pool.

And its always the best when daddy comes to swim with us!! He's always doing fun tricks with Brielle like having her dive from in the air like a cheerleader. Brielle loves it!!

So cute I just love them to pieces!!

Just one last cute pose for the camera!! Cute hat Brielle and good job at swimming today and everyday!!

Dinosaur Museum....

Getting ready to play in the muddy dinosaur sand dunes....

Hunter and Brielle digging in the sand together

Brielle really focused on that sand...

A cute "shark" moment for the little ones Hunter and Brielle..

The gang of children looking for dinosaur fossils... They seemed to be very serious about this :)

Sooooo my sister-in-law Melissa and her 2 boys came up to Utah awhile back to visit and attend BYU's basketball camp. While they were here, we went to Thanksgiving Point's Dinosaur Museum. It was really fun and super cool - I am oddly fascinated with dinosaurs by the way. We loved having Melissa and the boys stay with us and had a great time hanging out everyday!! Hope we didnt keep ya'll up too late! :) Cant wait to see you guys again!

Newport Coast Villas condo week!!!

Tanner and Brielle back at the condo watching cartoons in their homemade tent... taking a break from a day out in the sun.. What a hard life huh... :)

Brielle and my prego self at Laguna Beach...

Newport Coast Villas is sooo wonderful! They have so many fun things for kids to do. Here is Brielle playing miniature, "miniature" golf... The golf course/clubs is seriously miniature size. So cute!!

And then we have "LIFE" size chess!! :) Brielle had way too much fun with this one.. This game was more for the big kids but Brielle insisted...

Scotty, Brielle, my Brother Brett and his darling baby girl Makaylee taking a dip in the pool.

Tanner and Brielle swimming together after a long day at the beach...

At the beach playing in the sand while getting a tan...

Again, Brielle with Tanner (they were inseparable this trip) at the beach splashing in the waves and playing in the water..

Cute little bum shots of these two. They had so much fun together and so did the whole family. Its always great to take a relaxing beach trip with the family when you're 7 months pregnant. I'd do it again anytime!!
