Finally Here!!! Yea!!!

Ryan Evan Crump

Dad and his two boys, doesn't he look proud?


This is Ryan right before leaving the hospital.


Kaitlyn, Ryan and my dad Evan where Ryan gets his middle name.

I think Ethan likes him what do you think, sure glad we got the okay on that one.

So I know that I am really slow at posting theses pictures and that this post should probably be longer, but I only have 10 minutes before my little guy needs to eat again.

Without further ado, Ryan Evan Crump is finally here and we are so glad, me more than anyone. He was a big guy right from the get go, just like I thought he would be. He was born June 9, 2009 at 9:42 a.m. and weighed in at 9lbs. 5 oz. He was 21 1/1 in long and has a 14 in head around. To most people he probably looks like a one month old, but because that is how all of our children seem to come he is still little to me. We sure do love the little guy and are loving having him in our home. I have been asked who he looks like and I think that he looks like Ethan when he was born except that Ryan has a little bit lighter and redder hair. In fact at the hospital Thad and I kept calling him Ethan. Opps! Kaitlyn and Ethan sure do love their new brother. Kaitlyn is such a huge helper and I am so lucky that she is around. We have spent quite a bit of time her at my Mom's and we owe her a big thank you for helping us out so much. We are lucky to have family around.

Anyways enjoy the photos and there will be more to come.

Maybe Baby?

So for any of you wondering, I still do not have a baby, but hopefully tomorrow will be the day. I am scheduled to be induced in the morning as long as there is a room available. I'm hoping there is, but trying not to get my hopes too high. I was supposed to be induced with Ethan after going a week over and the morning we called there were no rooms. Fortunatly my water broke later that morning and they had to make room for me. Hence the reason I'm not going to get too excited until I'm told I can come in.
Hopefully soon we will have another cute little boy to cuddle, love, add to our family and post pictures of. Wish us luck!

Spring, Spring, Spring!!!!

Can I just say that we love Spring and are so happy that the weather appears to be getting warmer. Who knows tomorrow it could snow, but for today we are enjoying the sunshine.

Debuting Kaitlyn's new Room

So I hope you have all been anxiously awaiting these pictures. These are all of the old playroom redone to be Kaitlyn's new bedroom. We have had this room finished for awhile, but like usual it has taken me a couple of weeks to post the evidence.
The Saturday we finished her room it was really late and I thought for sure that Kaitlyn wouldn't want to sleep downstairs until the next day. Boy you think I would know my daughter better by now. Of course the instant the paint was dry and the beeboard on the wall, Kaitlyn tells her dad "okay will you go and get my bed now?" Needless to say we moved her stuff down and she was more than a little excited to sleep in her own room. I on the other hand worried about her being downstairs all by herself all night, she could have cared less. The best part about Kaitlyn having her own room is that she has taken such responiblity of her room and things. I told her if she wanted to be a big girl on her own downstairs that she had to act like one by making her bed, getting dressed and keeping her room clean. If I had known just how well that little talk was going to work we would have moved her down a long time ago. She is AWESOME at all of the above and I never have to ask her twice. I love it when things work out that way. Anyways here are the pictures of the way cute room that I was worried about.

This is the wall perpendicular with her bed.

This is the view walking into her room from the stairs.

This wall and the bookshelf walls were paneling and I love how the stripes worked out. They help to break up the pink.

General Conference Weekend

Kaitlyn and Ethan both love the horses and are not at all afraid to jump right up on them.

Grandpa and Kelly's horses were definatly a hit this weekend.

Thad's dad, Grandpa Crump, had the best idea to rent a horse areana for the afternoon and spend time with the horses. This was how we spent the time in between conferences on general conference weekend. And wouldn't you know it, my first and biggest child (Thad) was the hardest one to get off the horse. ;) We all had a blast.

PINK, PINK, PINK

So after much debate we finally decided to let Kaitlyn move downstairs and have her own bedroom for when the new little one arrives. She is beyond thrilled. Especially since I let her pick out the paint color and the title says it all. She loves pink and I.m going to get used to it. I really do think that it will look really cute, but right now that room seems to be glowing. My mom and Gwen keep reassuring me that once I get all of the trim up and her white furniture put in that it won't seem so pink. All I really care about is how happy she is. I keep asking her what she thinks and her words of praise vary from WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, and LOVELY. I love making my kids happy and this seems to have done it for Kaitlyn. She is even volunteering to take care of Ethn and do more chores just so that I can go and paint her new room. We sre are having fun and I promise there will be pictures.

A Fun and Crazy Year so Far

Hello my fellow bloggers, it has been quite awhile and so here is a peak at our fun and crazy lives over the last few months.
I loved how this picture turned out. Isn't she so pretty.

Handsome little devil!

This was just this past Sunday and they just looked so cute I had to get some pics.

I love it when these two are getting along and Kaitlyn is such a big help with her little brother. Soon to be two brothers.

I JUST LOVE THESE KIDS!!!

This was one of my very favorite Valentines Days becasue it fell on a Saturday and Thad had work off, so we spent a whole day playing with our kids. That doesn't happen very often for us and it was a blast. The weather was even great for sledding which both of my kids loved. Our only problem was sharing the sled!

Thanks to Gwen Kaitlyn had a way cute hair do for Valentines Day!

Right after Christmas Thad and I decided it was time to give the downstairs shower a major over haul. This was to be our first BIG home improvement project and after taking a tile class (a year ago) we were ready to take the challenge on. Here are the pics start to finish.

Way happy mom and kids becasuse the shower is finally finished. YEA!!

Dad was way happy to!! After a month of being without a shower we were so happy to have this project completed and we love how it turned out. It was definatly a challenge but worth every minute.
