Happy 30th Birthday Timmy!

Tim turned the big 3-0 on March 24th. The kids and I hurried home from dance class to throw Tim a surprise birthday party when he came home for lunch. Kaylie and Jadyn helped me make a big banner for the front of our porch for Tim to see as he pulled up. The girls had picked out a little birthday cake (of course it was pink) and we set up a few decorations around the kitchen. We got on our party hats and had a fun time yelling surprise when he walked through the door. It honestly was such a fun time celebrating Tim's birthday with just our little family and seeing how excited the girls got.

We had a family dinner at a Mexican restaurant here in town that night and then had a big birthday party for all of Tim's friends a few days later where we had dessert and watched March Madness. It was a lot of fun. :)

Brandon's Baby Blessing

On February 13, 2010 Tim blessed our sweet baby boy here in Bozeman. I was so happy that my parents were able to come as well as Tim's sister Debbie and her family, whom all live out of state. Tim gave a beautiful blessing and it made me so thankful to be married to a worthy priesthood holder and to have the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life. It was a wonderful day to be surrounded by so many loved ones.

Family Photos

We traveled to Arizona back in February and I had my good friend Celeste take some pictures of the kids. She does such an amazing job and I am always excited when I can have her do it. With the help of my brother Ryan in making Kaylie and Jadyn laugh, we were able to get some cute shots. Brandon would not go to sleep no matter how hard I tried but we still were able to get some really cute pictures of him too thank goodness. I have so many favorites that I just want to hang all of the pictures she took all over my house. :)

Here are a few of the many adorable pictures she took for us. Thanks Celeste!

Dance Class

Today Kaylie and Jadyn had their first dance class and they loved every minute of it. They looked so adorable in their leotards, tights, and ballet slippers. We do however need to work on teaching them to wait their turn and to stand in a line. They would get a little excited and would go before they were supposed to. Got to love little girls!

Brandon Roy Hammar is Here!

Tim and I are so happy to announce that Brandon Roy is finally here! He arrived on Sunday, December 20th weighing in at 8 pounds 4.3 ounces. He is such a blessing to our family and we are just in love with him. It is so cute when he cries because Jadyn automatically goes into her singing mode to get Brandon happy again. She usually either sings Jingle Bells at the top of her lungs or Rock-a-bye Baby.

Brandon is such a strong little guy and has even rolled over already and he was just 10 days old! It shocked me as I watched him do it (the picture of him on his stomach is the one I took after he did it). He is absolutely adorable and we just love having a baby boy around the house.

His big sisters have been a big help (just need a lot of supervision) and are quick to give him a hug and a kiss. Jadyn seeing me change his diaper one day and seeing his circumcision ran and told Papa Dale, "Brandon's tail has an owie." He got a kick out of that.

P.S.- if you are wondering why Tim has a hospital mask on it is because he had a bad cold that day. :)

Christmas Morning!

We had a wonderful Christmas morning here and were so happy to see that Santa did not forget our house. We actually had Christmas on Sunday the 20th since I was supposed to have Brandon on the 22nd and the girls were so excited when we set out cookies, chocolate milk (2 cups because each girl had to make him a glass), and a carrot for Rudolf. Well we ended up having to wake up everyone early "Christmas morning" because I started have contractions through the night. I should have known the minute I told Kaylie and Jadyn that Santa was coming that I would go into labor. :) We did have fun though opening presents as a family before Tim and I made the hospital run. It turned out that it worked out really good because while I was in the hospital having Brandon the girls were too busy playing with their new toys to even realize Tim and I were gone.

6 Days & Counting!

Well it is official! I am a normal pregnant, fat lady this time around! :) I made it to my last doctor's appointment yesterday, which I am very proud of, and it looks like everything is so far so good. After all the scary things that happened with the birth of Kaylie and Jadyn I feel very blessed from my loving Heavenly Father for a healthy pregnancy this time around. I have 6 more days until the c-section and am so excited to meet our little Brandon. My doctor said it should be a quick recovery (it took me over a year with the girls) and that all looks great. I couldn't be more happy.

Thanks for all who included us in your thoughts and prayers!
