Baby Pictures

Well I have had these pictures for about a week and I am finally getting them on here. I love how they turned out and these are some of my favorites. She slept almost the whole time so most of the pics are sleeping pics but that is mostly all she does right now anyway.

 My awesome grandma crocheted Zoe's blessing dress for her. I love love love how it turned out. Thanks Grandma, it is beautiful.

I also got a few pics done of Brody and Baylee.

Baylee is such a beautiful girl, she is so helpful with her new little sister. She is growing up so fast and I love her so much.

 This is the only one we got of Zoe with her eyes open and even though Brody isn't looking at the camera I think it is so cute.

 Such a handsome little guy. He is growing so fast I can't believe it. He is such a good big brother and I love him so much.

 This is my favorite picture of these two, they were being so funny for the photographer and this captures their personalities and the way they interact with each other perfectly.

Utah Game

Brody and Baylee got to go with Dallas and their uncle Ethan to the Utah Football game. They were so excited to go and were counting down the days for 2 weeks, We found them shirts at Old Navy and they were all ready to go when the day finally came. They rode the frontrunner and tracks to the game and they had so much fun! 

Dallas had told the kids that they would be able to get dinner at the game and they thought the huge corndogs were so cool. I didn't think they were that much bigger than regular ones but they were excited to tell me about them when they got home.

 I guess Baylee thought it was a little loud and kept covering her ears, but they had so much fun hanging out with their daddy and watching their team. I love these people so much and I am so glad that my kids have such an awesome daddy! Go Utes!

Zoe McCall Sawyer

Well our little girl is finally here. I feel like this pregnancy just kept going and going. It wasn't a hard pregnancy it just felt long through the summer and getting my due date pushed back 10 days.

This is me at 39 weeks 6 days the night before I went in to get induced.

I was supposed to go in on Wednesday to get started but the hospital was packed with girls having babies and they didn't have any delivery rooms available so they pushed me to Thursday morning. We went in at 7:30 Thursday morning and spent the next hour and a half getting checked in and all set up. The nurse hooked up the pitocin at 9:00 and contractions started soon after that. My doctor came in and broke my water around 10:30 and then shortly after that I got my epidural. I was nervous for the epidural this time because when I got it with Baylee it was pretty painful and that is what I remembered but the doctor that did it this time did much better at letting me know what was coming and it went in smoothly and with only a little pain compared to my last one. My nurse went out to go help with another delivery after I got my epidural at which time I was dilated to a 5. She was gone about 2 hours and came back in to see how I was doing. She checked and said I was ready to go. Ahhh, already!! I was in labor for 13 hours with Brody and about 9 with Baylee so when she said I was ready I was shocked. Dallas had gone home to check on the dog and so I called him and he didn't answer, I was so worried he was going to miss it. Finally I got a hold of him and he hurried back. The doctor came in while the nurses were getting everything set up and then When everything was set up I started pushing. About 5 minutes later Zoe was here. Wow! I was so surprised at how fast it went. I felt like I should still be sitting around waiting but there she was.

born September 16, 2010 at 1:52 p.m.

9 lbs. 4 oz.  21 inches long

Brody and Baylee were waiting in the hall with their Grandmas and they both got to come in and see their new little sister for a few minutes before the rest of the crowd came in. Brody was so excited to see and hold her. He climbed right up on my bed and held and kissed his little sister. He is such a good brother and will watch out for her.

Baylee was a little nervous when she saw the IV in my arm and wasn't to sure about sitting with me but once she saw that everything was okay she climbed up and took her turn holding her little sister. She sat there and kissed her head about a hundred times. She is so excited to have a sister to dress up with and can't wait until Zoe gets to sleep in her bedroom with her.

Dallas loves his new little girl so much. He loves to just hold her and smell her hair after it gets washed. He is a wonderful daddy and I love him so much.

Me and my baby girl after her bath. She has a head full of dark brown hair. We are not sure where she got all that hair  but she sure is pretty.

We are so happy to have Zoe in our lives. She has already added so much joy to our family we love her with all our hearts. Welcome to our family Zoe, Love you so much.

Our New Puppy

Meet Bauer, our new puppy. For quite a while now I have told Dallas that when we got a house we could get a dog. Well he took it very literally and decided that even though we were going to have a new baby within 2 weeks that it was time to get a puppy. He has been watching for the right one for weeks and finally found this black lab and went and picked him up.  So far he has been a pretty good dog. It will take some time for me to get used to having him around, I have never had a dog and I don't know anything about how to train them or anything so we will see how this goes. Brody and Baylee love him a nd were obsessed with carrying him around, being only 6 week old when we got him he was just their size. He is growing fast though and isn't so easy to carry now. He nips a lot so we are working on that but I think once he gets past that stage he will be a good dog.

Mini Golf

Well football season started with the annual fantasy football drafts which left me and the kids alone for Saturday night so I called up uncle Jake and aunt Audrey and we went mini golfing at boondocks. The kids had so much fun. Baylee had the funniest posture while trying to golf, you could tell it is her first time.

Brody did pretty good and he tied Audrey with his score which is really good since she is more than 3 times older than him.

I love this handsome guy, cutoff shirt and all.

Such a fun night.

Random Summer Pics

Well this summer has flown by and I have not done much blogging but I thought I better catch up a little before this baby comes so here are some random pics from our summer followed by about a hundred other posts from all the fun stuff we did this summer. Hopefully I will get some pics of the new house on here soon and then I will try to be better about doing posts when the new one gets here.

This is from our ward campout up by Morgan. The cabin was awesome and it was fun to go up and see our friends for a few hours. We didn't stay the night but we heard it was a lot of fun. Brody is getting pretty good at picture taking, that is about the only time I am in a picture anymore.

This is another pic at the campout. There was a lot of fun places to explore up there.

West Haven fireworks with some of our friends.

Brody hitching a ride with Grandpa I. at uncle Steve's Police Academy graduation.

Love you grandpa, so glad you are up and around again.

Brody and Baylee got new cowboy/girl boots from Grandpa and Grandpa. They had to dress up and show them off

Cousin #2 of the summer is Mason, I went up to see him in the hospital and the kids couldn't go so I just have a pic of him by himself. 

Brody holding his newest cousin and #3 of the summer, Wyatt. Getting some good practice in for when little sister gets here.

Baylee holding Wyatt. They both think these babies are so cute and they will be such a good big brother and sister.

Minute to Win It!

My sister Terra put together a fun date night for some friends and family. She told me that everyone was supposed to come up with a team name and dress up. Well I guess I was the only one that got that memo because we showed up all decked out and we were the only ones. ha ha Oh well it was fun anyway.

We ate dinner then played "Minute to Win It"

It was tons of fun. Dallas and I got 2nd place( I think we should have won by default since we were the only ones that dressed up) just kidding. Dallas got to do most of the games for our team but I helped out on some of them that were ok for my prego belly. We played lots of fun games.

Getting the paper bag from one side of the gym to the other without using your hands.

Putting cotton balls from one bowl to the other with vasaline on your nose.

Getting the cookies into their mouth without touching it was one of the funniest to watch.

Unrolling the toilet paper without ripping it. Such a fun idea! Thanks Terra for putting this together, it was tons of fun!
