~~My New Boyfriend~~

Landon better watch out because there is a new man in my life! My sweet baby boy joined our family on Monday, July 19, 2010. I was scheduled for an induction and was suppose to call the hospital at 6:00 am to see if there were any rooms available. Of course they were crazy busy, so at 3:30 pm they finally called and said they were ready. We checked in and at around 5:00, I finally received the pitossin. Ledgen Jessie Day was born at 7:02pm and has been kicking ever since! Everything went as smooth as possible.

Ledgen Jessie Day
6 lbs 14 oz
18 1/2" long
(measured 19 3/4 at the pediatricians office 2 days later)

Right after delivery--one happy mama!

sweet baby boy

Nothing more precious then a Dad and his new baby.

Jada and Brecka were thrilled to meet their new brother. All Jada wants to do is hold him (as many of the pictures show). Notice Brecka's pointing finger. Everytime she walks up to him she has to poke him...usually in the face. Not in a mean way, but I think she is checking to see if he is real. It is so funny. She gives him a kiss, then a poke, and then off to whatever she was doing.

Happy family of 5!

Grandma Day

Landon and I had a surprise baby doll tucked away in my bag to give the girls when they came in. They were so excited to have a baby of their own. Now when I am taking care of Ledgen, they each have their own baby to take care of. They were thrilled!

His first bath

My favorite thing about a newborn is the way the cuddle up on your neck and pull their feet clear up--the little fetal position. So adorable!

I can't believe how much I already am in LOVE with this baby boy. I can't wait to snuggle him, love on him, and just get to be with him the second he wakes up.

So far in the first week of his life he has been one sleepy little baby! I bet he is awake maybe a total of 20 minutes each day besides eating. Finally today, I think he made it about 45 minutes! Way to go little guy! When we left the hospital he had a low level of Jaundice. We had to take him into the hospital to have him tested 3 different times after we brought him home to make sure it wasn't getting too high. I think we are finally safe. I took him to the pediatricians office on day #3 and he rolled over right on the medical table. Then last night he was on the floor and rolled over again. I guess I can't leave him alone on my bed or couch...he's a mover!

We love you little Ledgen!

Last Minute Fun!

There is always time for last minute fun before a baby comes, right?? Well, we have been trying to get our play dates in and have had a blast. Landon and I purchased a camping trailer a few weeks ago and were able to go camping over the fourth. We had a great time with Landon's family...but unfortunately didn't have a camera and so don't have any pictures. The girls had a great time...and it made camping a whole lot easier being 9 months pregnant. Then this past weekend my family came (thanks for the pics, Dad) and we were able to spend a day at Lagoon, a day at Bear Lake, and a day hanging out and going to the movies. What a blast. My goal was not to go into labor at Lagoon or the beach, so we did good! Only one more week to go! Grandma Fancy Nancy holding Presley, Halle, Jada, Brecka, and Daxton

We ate lunch in the Aggie pavillion and of course the kids couldn't resist dancing up on the stage. I wish I had a video of their performances. Too cute!

One of my girls' favorite rides is the tidal wave. Brecka just giggles and giggles. We had so much fun at Lagoon. It better watch out next year, cause I will be back!

Mexico Cruise

Landon and I were able to go on a cruise to Mexico with Landon's family. His Mom retired this past year and so all the adults took a trip to celebrate. We had a blast! I love exploring new parts of the country and seeing different locations. We left from Long Beach, had 2 days on the ocean, then ported in Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. The weather was perfect for most of the vacation. The last day at port was windy and so sailing back to Cali was super rough. What an experience! Thanks for all the fun! ( sorry about the prego in the pictures...not the most flattering, I know...only 10 more weeks to go!) We got to Long Beach a little early so had some time to play on the ocean before we sailed out.

Each night we had more of a formal dinner with the family in the "Gold Pearl Restaraunt". We had excellent waitors that kept us entertained. Ninja and Sendai.


I ordered hot chocolate the first night after dinner and my sweet little waitor brought it for me every night without me asking. Delish!!!

One of many of me posing. The Carnival Splendor ship was absolutely beautiful. I totally pretended to be a queen boarding the Titanic. I'm sure Landon was sick of me.. :)

Our first stop....Puerto Vallarta!!!

The CrAzY CrEw!! Kevin, Jaynee, Ryan and Amanda all got to go ziplining. What fun!! Landon sat it out because I couldn't go (pregnant belly). What a guy! They took us into the jungle where the group did their excursions. Landon and I hiked down to a river and explored the area. Beautiful!!

The gorgeous scenery

Unfortunately Mexico doesn't have Diet Coke.....Fortunately it does have Coca Cola Light!!

Almost as beautiful as the scenery!

How cool is this little banana tree just growing in the wild? I love stuff like this!!! (I know, a little wierd!)

Landon...taking his vacation to the extreme. This was where they brought the group that took off on their excursion. Landon is obviously enjoying the environment....

After the excursion, we went downtown to shop and see more of the city.

The morning we ported into Mazatlan

We hired some guy to dive us around the town a little and then take us to a resort where we could enjoy the beach. He let us stop to watch the cliff divers...and boy were they amazing!! This guy jumped so far into the water! Holy Brave!

Can you see him??? The incredible thing was even after the dive. He scaled this mountain with bare feet after he jumped in so rediculously fast. He had climbed all the way to the top and made it over to us (to collect his tips) before we had even gotten over the fact of how amazing his jump was. It was amazing!

The beautiful view in Mazatlan

There were more cliff divers jumping from the top of these stairs.

So Landon had to see if he was brave enough to climb them....He did it! They were super scary, so I was proud of him cause he HATES heights. Way to go!

The gorgeous resort where we hung out. These patio chairs faced the beach and ocean. Picture perfect!

(Sorry they are out of order) Charlie's Angels...can't ya tell??

Gloria, Jaynee, and Me

Landon was so nervous he went up on his hands and knees. However, he walked the whole thing again upright. I'm so proud!! :)

My favorite thing: Relaxing on the beach.

By the resort. Pools in the back--ocean in the front!

Our cruise ship

The platform the cliff divers were jumping from.

Our 3rd port. Cabo San Lucas

Lovers Beach in Cabo.

The waves were INCREDIBLE at Lover's Beach. They were HUGE and we were so close.

On one side of this little island was the Pacific Ocean and on the other side where our ship was, it was the Sea of Cortez. Pretty cool!

After Lover's Beach this little fishing boat took us to a resort on the main beach.

Of course there are lots and lots of people selling their goods and products all along the beach. We were proud of our purchases!

Jaynee, Me, and Bonnie

Taking a little time out in Cabo San Lucas.

I absolutely LOVE the flowers that were everywhere in Mexico. I love the bright colors and different plants and trees. I guess I get that from my parents!

Making our way back to Long Beach.

So the FUNNIEST thing happened on the last day of our adventures. It was either from the sun OR I ate something I was allergic to, because my bottom lip became completely swollen. It was hilarious!! Landon teased me that I had injections that went really wrong! It's all about the adventures, right??

Our evening meal. Yes, pretty much all we did was eat. Eat and sleep.

Lover's Beach from our ship's view.

The famous arch at Cabo San Lucas. The local boat driver told us it looks like a donkey drinking from the ocean. Wow! It sure does!

The Day Gang. Thanks for such a fabulous time!
