Addison Leigh O'Quinn

Today we welcomed Addison Leigh O'Quinn. She was born at 2:30pm, weighing in at 7lbs 2oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. She has a head full of dard brown hair. So much, that I could actually put a bow in it and it would stay put! Brady is so proud to be a Big Brother!! He went around the hospital today telling everyone her name!! Everyone is doing GREAT. If all goes as planned, we should be able to go home Friday and hopefully get everyone in a regular routine! Chris and I are hoping that Brady will be as excited about Addison once we get her home as he was today in the hospital! We have enjoyed lots of visitors today and look forward to enjoying more over the next few days! Thanks to all your thoughts and prayers during this pregnancy and delivery! We have truly been Blessed by God with 2 wonderful and healthy children!!

Playing on the slides

Yesterday Chris took Brady to the playground down from our house. I decided to go and get out of the house to take some pictures. He absolutely had a blast! He went down every slide on the playground except one that was just too hot for him. He fell off face first into the sand at the end of one, but didn't get hurt. He just didn't like having the sand in his face. But, that didn't stop him from going down the same slide. I was taking a video of him when it happened, so I hope you enjoy!!!

Helping Papa Work

Brady is not even 2 yet, and already has his first tool belt, fully equipped with hammer, level, ruler, tape measure, chalk line, flashlight, hard hat, and safety goggles. We finally got started on building a storage shed in the backyard so that we can close in our garage to make room for Addison. Brady has really enjoyed helping his Papa work. I just wanted to share some of the pictures with you!!

Easter 2009

Just wanted to share some pictures from Easter with you all! Sunday was a busy day for us. First, we went to church together as a famil, which was nice. We haven't done that in quite a while. Then we went over to Chris' parents house for lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt!! Brady found lots of eggs, some of which had money in them, which he later got to put in his piggy bank that his Papa and Nana gave him!! We stayed there and played until about 5:00pm then came home and fought to keep Brady awake until 8:30, since he didn't have a nap all day!!! He made it until after 8:30 by playing on his new Hot Wheels Trike that the Easter Bunny brought him...It's too cute. His little legs aren't long enough to reach the pedals yet, but he loves to ride it. He rides it inside the house. Wherever mommy goes, Brady and his trike are right behind her!!! He also loves to ride it outside, especially in the grass and make mommy push him!! Not much fun for mommy, but he loves it!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!! Never forget the reason we actually celebrate it!!! Thank you Jesus!!!!

IT'S A....

Well, we found out this morning that we are going to be welcoming a healthy baby GIRL in August!!! We are so excited! Brady is going to have a little sister!
We've decided on the name Addison Leigh O'Quinn!! We'll keep you updated on any baby news and I'll try to do better at posting on my blog!!! Love to you all!

Christmas 2008

I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted anything. So, the next few posts are going to be catching everyone up through pictures. Brady got lots of wonderful gifts for Christmas. He got a set of puzzles, which he loves to dump out into the floor. He also got a Bounce and Spin pony. He's not quite into using it to learn with, but he does like to get on and ride the horsey. He also got an inflatable bus ball pit. He has learned that he can flip it over on it's side while he's inside and thinks it is so funny when he does. His favorite gift, which we will someday pay Uncle Lee and Uncle Chris back for, is Elmo Live. This is an Elmo doll that talks, sings, and dances. He could play with this all day if we'd let him, but for those of you who have heard Elmo's voice, know that listening to Elmo all day would drive any adult in his/her right mind insane!!!!

Baby #2 is on the way!!!

Just thought we'd share the news with all of our friends and family--Brady is going to be a BIG BROTHER in August!!! Yes...Baby #2 is on the way. We went to the doctor yesterday. Everything looked great! Our due date is August 5th, 2009. We are unbelievably excited and a little bit nervous about having 2 small children!! Life is really going to change and get busier for us now!!! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
