On the last post we were not able to post pictures so here are some of Bausten and the rest of us.




Bausten's Arrived !

This past Tuesday May 25Th we welcomed Bausten Ray into our family! He weighed 7lbs. 8 oz. and was 19 inch long. We are so thrilled to have our little guy here and that he is so happy and healthy.
Due to complication's I had with having Lyndon I had a scheduled C-section with Bausten we had to be to the hospital by 5 am Monday morning for our C-section at 6:30 am. Let's just say I didn't get any sleep that night. I was really excited to finally have Bausten here and super nervous for the C-section. We arrived to the Hospital and everything went so fast they put me in the room put my IV in and a half an hour later we were walking to the O.R.. I was supposed to have a spinal block for the surgery but after 6 times of hitting the same nerve that that made my whole left leg feel like it had been shocked the Doctor decided to do an epidural which we were trying to avoid because of my past bad experience. However, everything went pretty well my blood pressure seems to drop really low immediately after I get epidural but, luckily this time they were prepared. I am so thankful I had Ty by my side the entire time, he really is my rock when I panic and he helped calm me down and get me through everything. He is such a wonderful husband and I am so happy he was there with me.
Bausten Ray was born at 7:49 am he is very healthy and although he is a lot smaller than Lyndon was he looks a lot like his older brother! He has tons of blond hair and he will defiantly have blue eyes! He was a pretty good screamer when he came out but the minute he was wrapped up and given to Ty he stopped crying and has been a wonderful baby ever since.Unless he is unwrapped or hungry he doesn't make a peep and he is easily soothed!
Lyndon,also loves his new little brother and wants to hold him ALL the time the minute he walks into a room he has to know where his baby is. I am so blessed to have such Sweet little boys, it is truly a joy to be there mother. We look forward to all the new adventures we are going to have with the boys and will keep you all updated on our new adventures as a family of 4!!

Hey I posted lots of pic's!! Keep on scrolling down:)

Easter visit to Idaho

Visiting Great-Grandpa Pickups
For Easter this year we decided to go up with Tyler's dad and a couple of his brother's to Idaho to see Ty's Grandpa. Tyler has not seem him for over 2 years and Lyndon was 7 month's old the last time I saw him so it was great to get together. Lyndon did great on the 3 hour drive and I was able to sleep most of the time so it was really relaxing!! Grandpa Pickup lives on a lot of farm land so Lyndon was able to just run and play(until I found out the fence was live!!!) then I got a little bit more paranoid :) Uncle Jordan took Lyndon on the 4-wheeler and Lyndon didn't want to get off! He also LOVES DOGS so we ran around chasing Grandpa and Aunt Susan's dogs all day long. We were also able to see all of Grandpa's equipment from his cattle herding days and Ty loved hearing stories about "back when" especially from when his dad was growing up.
I was really happy that Lyndon seemed so comfortable around everyone and especially would not let Dave( Ty's dad) sister Susan alone:) She made a wonderful dinner for us and it was great to visit with and Lyndon especially loved her he would follow her around everywhere she went saying"Susan" it was so funny! He also found Great- Grandpa Pickups candy stash and it didn't take very long before he would was sitting on G-Grandpa Pickups lap eating candy.
We are so blessed to have such a large family of such wonderful people that we are able to learn form and visit and I am so glad Lyndon was able to spend some quality time with his Great-Grandpa Pickup,we really enjoyed our visit!





















Our Easter Egg Hunt

This years Annual Easter Egg hunt had to be adjusted this year due to the blizzard outside:) My family usually gets together with all the cousins, aunts, uncles and whoever else to have a big Easter Egg hunt. Unfortunately, it was canceled due to snow.(something our little family is still adjusting to since being away for 2 years! ) My mom, sisters and I not wanting to have to eat all of our candy decided to still hide our eggs for the younger kids. My little sister, brother and Lyndon were so excited! I had no idea how much Lyndon loved candy but once our little guy found out that's what was inside the eggs he went crazy! He had such a great time finding the eggs he kept running around saying"candy,candy,candy!!!" As you can tell our little hunt happened right before bedtime(last minute idea) and so I had one unhappy little man when I only let him eat a couple pieces!
Next year is defiantly going to be interesting with 2 little boys running around!

















Easter Eggs

For Easter this yea Lyndon dyed eggs for the first time. I was a little skeptical at first to let him try, seeing as how he throws everything on the ground when he is in his highchair, but the whole family was coloring eggs so we joined in.
Lyndon had so much fun! He was supposed to only dye a couple eggs but as you can see we did a lot more than that:) In fact some have more than three colors on them because Lyndon just would not stop and we ran out of eggs. He didn't even use a spoon, he just stuck hi hands in the coloring and wee, made a big mess but really enjoyed himself. His hands were colored for days but we sure had a lot of fun!!
