I had to make sure that I got some pictures when we went to visit last time. These are Adams grandparents, they are really neat people.
The boys in there matching church outfits.
Drayson in his cute outfit that Steph gave him on his 2 month birthday!!
This kid is all smiles. I have never seen a baby smile so much. All I have to do is look at him and this is what I get in return. It makes being a mother so rewarding!!
Before I did a post on our family I wanted to pass this along. What a sweet family with such a sweet little angel baby! They are truly amazing. For information on what to do with the blankets go HERE
Well here are the final set of plans. This is what our house is going to look like on the outside. We are still looking at a few different options for the trim around the garage and windows. In the back you can see Adams covered porch.
This is the basement that we are hopefully going to finish next winter. We are going to wire it now and then start sheet rocking when it gets cold. I am so excited to have an actual toy room and a bathroom downstairs.
This is the upstairs. I have been debating whether or not to add some more cupboards in the kitchen and I think I have finally decided to add one at the end it will be 2 ft wide and 8-9 ft tall. So it will add a ton. We are so anxious to be in a house again. It will be almost 2 years since we sold our last house. We are just so grateful for my parents for helping Adam get a job and giving him a push in this direction. He loves his job and the new people he is going to get to work with. His schedule is going to be different all the time, but change is always good.
We are moving along on our house, no hole yet but getting close. This last week I have been picking all the the colors. That is not a small task, I had to choose granite, tile, hardwood, all the cabinets in the house, style of the cabinets, hardware, stucco, trim rock and many other things. I can't wait to see it all finished.
This week our plans are being finalized by the architect then next week they are off to the state! So hopefully we will have a hole by the second week of February.
Here is my cute baby in his ducky pj's
He is getting so fun and getting a cute little personality.
He loves to stick his tongue out.
This is how the boys like to bath! It works for me because I can get them both done at the same time.
I can't believe that my baby is already 1 month. He has been such a blessing in our lives already. He is the happiest little baby I have ever seen. You look at him and he will give you and instant smile.
These are a few things that he does
-holds his head up
-smiles when you talk to him
-he still wakes up every 3-4 hours to eat.
-naps good during the day
We are just loving our little family and I am so blessed to have a house full of boys!
We decided to take Bridger bowling over Adam's break and he loved it. Adam and I only got to bowl 3 times total, Bridger bowled the rest. He is a strong little boy. Adam got him a 6lb ball and he carried it all by himself.
Got really excited watching it roll down and hit the pins.

These videos are so fun to watch, he is such a fun little boy.
The scores. Bridger bowled all but 3.
We had such a great Christmas ! We all got spoiled rotten this year! Adam has a huge surprise for me after we all opened presents.
Bridger got his train set that he has been asking for. He also got the big Woody, Jessie and Buzz. Lots of Thomas the train and Toy story stuff and some clothes.
My and my handsome man on Christmas day!
checking out all his new presents.
Playing games at Grandma's. He wanted to play with Drayson also.
My cute little boy! He was such a great little guy he got some clothes , blankets, and some new toys.
And now for the Surprise! Adam waited until we were all done opening presents then he gave me a piece a paper that sent me on a scavenger hunt. I went from outside, downstairs, upstairs and then ended in the Laundry room where this was a blue folder and in it there was a JOB OFFER LETTER! I knew that he has applied but had no idea that he had got a job. My emotions hit a little because this is what we had been hoping and praying for, to stay here close to our family. It also gives us the opportunity to settle and get another house. I have been looking for a long time at houses so I knew exactly what I wanted.
This is going to be our new home as of July of 2011. We are waiting to start it until Adam starts his job but we signed all the paperwork to get it started. We can't be more excited. Fall Creek has been so awesome so far and gave us some really good pricing. This is not our exact house but we should be getting our plans back this week! We are just adding a 12x24 covered patio on the back. We are so excited about that!! We had a great Christmas and New Year and are lookign forward to what this year has in store for us. We are so grateful for our AMAZING family!
I had to add this in. I went to check on the boys and they were out! I thought it was cute!
These are a few weeks late since he is going to be three weeks tomorrow! This little man is such a chunk already.
2 Weeks Stats:
8 lbs 13.5 oz and 21 1/2 inches long
I guess you could say he likes his milk!
We are just loving this little guy to pieces. He is such a good baby. We feel so blessed to have him in our family. Bridger is actually starting to talk with him a little. I was in getting ready and I could hear Bridger in the other room saying " Drayson it's ok don't cry." I peeked around the corner and he was holding his hand and rubbing his head, it was so cute.
This is Drayson's cute little Christmas outfit that my mom got him. I love it! He looks so darn handsome in it. I hope we are ready for Christmas this year, it is going to be so fun with the little ones. We hope everyone has a safe Christmas.
Here is our Christmas Letter. I have not done well with sending cards out this year, if there is anyone that still wants one please let me know. Thanks
Dear family and friends another year has come and gone so fast. I can’t believe that we are heading into 2011. Our family has been extremely blessed this year, we are so grateful to our Savior and Father in Heaven for helping us choose this path. Adam and I got to celebrate our 7th anniversary November 1st. I can’t believe that I have been married to this wonderful man for so long. On December 2nd we added a new addition to our family, Drayson J Phillips. It is so nice to have such a new and sweet little spirit in our home. Here is an update on everyone in our family.
Adam- What a busy and exciting year this has been. I graduated from the Radiation safety program in May and landed a job a week after I was done with CWI. I am really enjoying what I do and the people that I work with. In October I hit the year mark form my accident. My recovery has gone really well, I am almost back to where I was. I still enjoy playing my Xbox when I get the time, having two kids limits the extra time that I have. I have had to switch some of my hobbies and recently picked up shooting, at the start of the summer I plan on competing at the shooting club. Due to the extra time that I have on the bus ride to work I have begun to read different series of books, thanks to my brother’s suggestions I am enjoying them. I look forward to this next year and spending extra time with my family and watching my two boys grow.
Genessa- Can I say what a year. I am still working at Dance Tech teaching two classes a week. I teach a cheerleading class and a toddler gymnastics class. It is so perfect for me because it still allows me to be a full time mom and earn a little extra money. I have really enjoyed working with all the kids that are in my classes. I am still really enjoying photography, I love capturing good pictures of my boys and doing family pictures every once and awhile. This summer I had the opportunity to serve as camp director and stay a week with 14 amazing girls. I was a little sad when it was over but then the bishop asked me if I wanted to serve as the 1st counselor. It is a busy calling but I could not ask for a more fulfilling calling. I am really enjoying being a mom of two amazing boys. I can’t wait to see what this New Year has in store for us.
Bridger- I am getting ready to turn three in March; I have already started acting like I’m three. I love to go out to my grandpa’s farm to see the cows and the horses. I get away with almost anything at my grandparents houses and love spending time with them so much that I don’t like to leave. I am really enjoying Thomas the Train and Toy Story. I got a lot of trains this year thanks to potty training, I have been 99% since October and I have even started using the big potty all by myself. I can say all my ABC’s, colors, shapes, and get really excited to learn new things. I repeat everything that mom and dad say so they have to be careful! I start preschool this next fall and can’t wait to learn more. I recently got a new brother, I look at him sometimes but that’s all. I’m still really wild and keep anyone who is watching me really busy. I am looking forward to Christmas and seeing what Santa brought for me.
Drayson- I am almost three weeks old and growing so fast. I had my two week checkup and I have already gained over a pound since I was born. I love to eat! I am a really good baby and sleep most of the day. My mom loves to dress me and do my hair. I love being in the outside world and listening to my noisy brother.

Here is a sneak peak of the session we had with my good friend Leah! She is AMAZING! More to come when Brandon gets here with my cd. You can see a few more on her blog HERE
This is as close as we could get Bridger to Drayson
3 days old
Almost 2 weeks
We are so lucky to have another little boy in our home. He is such a good baby. We go to his 2 week appt on Friday, I can't wait to see how much he has grown. When we left the hospital he was 7 lbs 5oz and when we went back 2 days later he had gained 5 oz. He is a really good eater.
Love the chubby legs
Drayson is such a happy baby
Cute little fingers
Cute little toes
This is what his hair looks like after his bath
This is what my poor car looks like.
Making a ginger bread house for Family home evening.
Our finished project after it fell all the way over once. Bridger is an amazing decorator. He did it all by himself.
