Birthday Boy Barrett

Hope you had a great one! Love you...

Blessings unmeasured!

On Dec. 30th, we had a very special party. We had many reasons to celebrate. My sister Kelly and I, who had our babies 1 week apart, had both of our babies blessed that night by our wonderful husbands. Hunter also was ordained a Deacon in our church by Bill. Lastly, it was Barrett's 4th birthday (separate post). Bill's parents hosted the party at their home and boy were they ever the hostesses. It was an amazing dinner and evening. Thanks everyone for coming. We loved having so many family members and friends there to share in this special occasion.

Happy Birthday Hunter!

Hunter's Big Day!! He turned 12 on Dec. 13th. We now officially have 3 kids with December birthdays... plus Christmas-- our budget is SHOT!!

Hunter got some great gifts this year. He wanted the Madden 10 PS3 game, which he got-- from Grammy and Papa! Thanks! We got him the Dark Night on Blu-Ray DVD, some clothes, and new church shoes and socks. Nana and Papa got him this fantastic looking new suit for him to pass the sacrament in. Along with a new white shirt, tie, and belt. Thank you to all who made his day special! Nana was here helping out with Dayne and made him a wonderful dinner and YUMMY cake. He felt loved. He will be ordained to the office of a Deacon in the priesthood when we're in California. Proud of you Hunter boy!!! Can't believe you're 12... I'm getting older!

Hannah's gift to Hunter was a hug-- looks painful!

Sharp looking young man!

Make a wish!!

Dayne- 3 days old

My friend Anne, photographer extraordinaire, came to visit today. She's so awesome!!! This is just a sneak peak of what she took. Isn't he SOOO cute!?!?

I could just eat him up!

We took these two today as well... with my mom's camera. He's changing already. LOVE HIM!!

Fuzzy head! We gave him a sponge bath and washed his hair. He's got a little faux hawk. More hair than any of my other kids yet! Doesn't he look older than 3 days old in this picture? MMMMMmmmmmm......

I think I'm in love. AGAIN.

Dayne Monson Sivley

He is here!! After a short 4 hour labor (1 hour of which I slept through), and ONE push... Dayne made his appearance @ 2:08 pm on 12-08-09.

He weighs 8 pounds even and is 19 3/4 inches long.

He has the cutest little face ever! We think he's a cross between Brock/Bauer and that he has Barrett's nose. He has a little bit of light brown hair with a tinge of red mixed in. Another SIVLEY for sure!


Mom is good, just tired. Feeling so much better already though!

Dad was the best coach, along with Nana too! Although they didn't have a very tough job when it came to the pushing part!!!

The kids came to see baby brother in the evening and they are all loving him already! More pictures to follow of that! For now, we are in love and happy as can be. Our perfect baby Dayne has arrived... an angel sent from Heaven above!!
