Because of the flu season the kids were only able to see Cody through the window.

8 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long
Brown hair and brown eyes.
He looks like he fits right in.

Proud Mommy did this with no pain meds at all.
We were only at the hospital 1 hour and 10 min!

Update with the Breinholt Family

Life is Good

My sisters have informed me that it has been to long since I have updated my blog. I am sorry. Here is a catch up.

The kids are all camping out in Aubrie's room for a while. We have 3 beds and 2 dressers in there. They don't mind a bit. It is very full. We are remodeling a bedroom for the boys.

Bedtime gets interesting because they play and get each other going.

Before we started...

Yes, I am getting thicker and thicker :)

A little while later....

Of course, we are still working. We are building red bunkbeds, and painting a large airplane on one wall. The dressers will be built into the bunkbeds and the closet. We are also building a desk. We did find out that we will have to move the ceiling fan. Yes, it was the hard way. We put up the bunkbed, and told Nate to get up and try it out. We did leave the room. A little while later when we heard lots of giggleing we found out they can easily reach the ceiling fan from the top bunk.

First Day of School
Grayson had a hard time letting the kids go without him. Nate would not let me walk him any further. He's to old for that now. Aubrie took a praying mantis to her teacher as a show and tell. They are loving school and friends and their teachers. I am going to put Grayson in preschool in Jan. because he can't stand it. He wants to go so bad. (Notice Aubrie has hot pink fringe boots! She loves them and wears them everyday)

Scouts
Nate is doing well in scouts. He earned his wolf badge. He's very dedicated.

Puppies
Pearl (our dog) found a boyfriend while we were in Florida. When we came home she was in heat. This is the 9 puppies she had soon after.

Aubrie has been in heaven taking care of all these puppies.

Meet "Pig"
Pig is one of our 9 puppies that we have. He is Grayson's favorite

This week is the week we are giving all the puppies away. They will be 6 weeks old on Wed. Please come get one if you want one. They are free. 7 girls and 2 boys.

Soccer
We are still playing soccer. Nate and Aubrie are both playing. They are having a great time. Nate understands the game a little more than Aubrie. Aubrie actually got her head stuck in the net while playing goalie. She "might" be picking her nose in this picture. Her friends are no different. They have been caught doing handstands and cartwheels.

She does play great sometimes.

August

End of summer, last time out swimming with friends. We went to Parowan to go swimming, but the pool was closed. We decided to go up the canyon to swim in the river. The kids had fun and got to hang out with friends. This was not long after one of Grayson's friends drowned, so he wore a life jacket the whole time. The water was only 3 inches deep, but he felt better. All the kids his age had one on for the same reason. A 4-year-olds funeral makes even kids think about safety.

4th of July

Finally I am able to blog the 4th of July.

Enjoy

Breinholt summer so far

Isn't Epcot cool?





Our summer so far has been a little crazy. We did go on vacation to Florida. I picked up the kids from school on the last day and drove straight to the airport. They had told all their friends the plan to. They were so cool. From that point until we actually got to Florida took 24 hours! Yeah it was long. Once there, we spent some time at Alicia's house, 5 days in Orlando doing Disney!! Deep sea fishing, Gatorland, 5 days in Daytona Beach on the beach relaxing. It was awesome!! Everyone had a great time. The kids want to go back.

Waiting at the airport.

Fishing in the ponds at Alicia and Dane's house.Gatorland

Nate got picked to wrestle a gator in the show. He was to shy. Can you blame him? He did pick the biggest one for the trainer to wrestle.


This place is really a swamp!
I will post more pictures later. I only have so long to blog. You know the kids do eventually notice.

Life is so busy. We are playing T-ball and coach pitch twice a week. Last games are Thursday. We are going for walks and riding bikes. Trying to find time to go swimming. Playing with friends, jumping on the trampoline, going for ice cream. We still are going to basketball twice a week, those days may end sooner than later because my belly keeps growing, and it's mommy who is playing. We are still doing the usual work days and church callings. We are doing yard work constantly, but that ends in cooking marshmellows over the fire pit in the back yard so it's not so bad. The kids go to story time at the library every week. They have had time at Grandpa's cabin, and a sleepover in Milford. We have been to a few movies. We really enjoyed UP and Transformers.

Yeah, we are not having a boring summer. We are excited to go camping and fishing this weekend in Minersville. We are looking forward to the water fight that my husband will very probably start after we all get very hot at the park after the parade. For those who may be near, LOOK OUT! He always does it.

It may be another month before I get to blog again, but this is a quick update. The Breinholts are still here, just playing as much as posible.

We are having a Boy!

The wait is over. It is official. We are having a baby BOY!! Everyone is very happy and excited, except for Aubrie. Her heart is broken. She got teary and sat in the corner of the ultrasound room when the news was announced. Even when we try to talk about her helping with various things like holding the baby, she says, "No. I don't like it to be a boy." We will continue working on this problem. For now, we just keep telling her how special it is to be the only girl. We are also beginning to break the news that we can't name the baby Arial, Jasmine, Rapunzel, or any other princess name. What a day.
