Birthday BOY!

Brakken is officially 3 years old NOW!!

He party was on Saturday at the Pioneer park in Brigham City.. We had a blast!! The bad thing about his party was that my camera died! Well the batteries died! But everyone that took picture told me that i could get the pictures from them later this week.. So that's a plus..

So since i don't have the pictures I'll post about Brakken's Birthday Day!!

Brakken was born on a a Thursday, July 14, 2005 at 12:16 p.m.. He was 6lbs 2ozs and 21inches long!! And we took him home at 5lbs and 11ozs.. He was 2 weeks early but still term. I was in labor for two days.. 48 hours.. Long but so worth every moment!! He was so little.. Here are some pictures of him in my tummy, as a new born, and a few days old (some may be a month old)..

Joel and Raelynn with little BRAKKEN! At about this time is when we told our parents we were prego!! We look so young!! I was 5 months along!!
Brakken just a few minutes old! Not too happy to be out in the cold! Well it was in the mid 70's but compared to 98 that's pretty cold!

Daddy and his first BABY BOY! Nothing is better than to see Daddy bonding with his SON!

This is me with my MOM and the her First Grand BABY!!

This is the New bee Grandma's.. in this picture they are rocky Grandma's... NOW they are PROS!! Oh yeah that's little Uncle Jordan!! (well he is like 6 feet and some more, not so little).
This is the little guy at my mom's house... almost a month old!!
This is one of the faces i got a lot from Brakken... this look is called are you CRAZY?!, Cuz you look like it!!

This is the Big BOY NOW!! He looks the same but different! Brakken i want you to know that We love you!! You helped start this family and help it get to where it is today!! Thanks son for showing me how to LOVE!!

Every Birthday we make a cake and they get to blow out the candle when they were born! So Brakken gets to blow out the candle at 12:16 p.m. on July 14!! It's been a tradition since Brakken's first birthday.. Happy late Birthday Brakken!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thats a fun tradition. I'm awful, I don't remember the times my kids were born. Wow 48 hours of labor, that doesn't sound fun.
