Family of Five

Here are pictures of Brylie and Brody meeting their little sister Olivia as well as our first family of five photo!

Take THAT Uncle Sam!!!!

We will be taking THREE dependent child deductions on our income taxes for 2009!!! Thanks to Olivia Gunnell coming in at 3:12 PM on 12/29/09!



Olivia was 8 lbs, 12 ounces, and 21 inches long (at two weeks early no less!). She has slightly darker hair than her siblings and brown, BROWN eyes, but her face is a perfect blend of Brylie and Brody.

Mom is doing great, and just keeps saying, "This is such a RELIEF!!!!"

Christmas Ornaments

Today we colored some ornaments we got from Grandma and Grandpa Allen. Every year we get an ornament with our name on the back and this year we got to color them. Here is the end result. Mom may have helped a little!

Merry Christmas!!

Pregnancy week 35....

I just thought I'd document what I look like at this stage in the game since I have never lived near my or Brad's parents during a pregnancy and I didn't take pictures like this with Brody. So here I am around 34 weeks. I think I'm HUGE! And it feels like the baby has barely any room in there to move, which she does often and I love it! Hopefully she makes her appearance no earlier than the 20th of this month as that would be too early for my liking but I'd appreciate it around the end of the month! Stay tuned!

What I've been working on...

Here is my latest project and I was so proud of it, I thought I'd share it. This is mostly for my mom who I would love to have done this at her house with her help but Oregon was too far to travel so this is the best I can do. Love you Mom! Also, a big thanks to Emily for letting me use her sewing machine after I broke mine in the process!
