Pumpkin patch

We went to the pumpkin patch to let Hudson pick our pumpkins! He loved it and picked one for all 4 of us

To infinity and beyond

Hudson turns 2!

In October 3 & 4 it was Hudson and brendons birthday! My baby boy turned 2! We threw him a little party and it turned out to be much bigger and more fun then I expected! So many of our friends and their kids came! We had pizza and a fun bounce house! It was a little chilly out but the kids had a blast! I can't believe how much Hudson has grown. He is so smart and such a lovey boy. He is talking so much and really understands a lot going on around him. He is in love with anyrhing toy story especially buzz lightyear! he got a lot of the characters for his birthday and was in heaven! He is a great big brother to Norah ( love/hate relationship haha) and he loves his grandparents and aunts and uncles so much! Most of all he loves mommy and daddy. He is our little side kick! I am so grateful for this little guy! I don't have a clue what I would do without him!!! Love you buddy!
Also, of course I wanted to give a shout out to Brendon for his birthday too! Having kids means our birthdays don't get as much attention anymore and especially having their bdays a day apart! Bren is such a great dad and husband! He is a hard worker and we are so lucky to have him!!! Love you!!!

Norah's a month and cute little Hudson!

My babies are growing! It has been fun being able to go to the Zoo and do
Other fun activities with these guys and my mom and Katie sometimes too since I have been at home not working!

Norah Jeanne Alexander

So yes I know... I am super behind on posting so here is Norah's birth story! On August 13 2012 I was up all the night before with a lot of cramping and discomfort. I woke Bren around 530 and we tried to figure out if this was labor or not. I had been dialted to a 4 for 3 weeks and kept getting sent home and I really didn't feel like doing that again. Anyway I decided to wait for contractions to get closer together so Bren said the only way he would go in to work was if my mom came over to be with me and help me with Hudson. My mom agreed and started to head over to pick me and Hudson up. By the time she got there I had a lot of pressure and more cramps. We decided we would go take Hudson to her house so Kenzie could watch him and then head to the hospital just so I could get checked. By the time we got to my moms real contractions had begun. And the drive up Wasatch was horrible!! We got behind a stupid slow driver and I wanted to scream! The contractions started at 7 min then 5 and before I knew it they were two min apart as we got to foothill drive! I was not feeling okay at all and my mom was reviewing in her head how to deliver a baby because we were now stuck in traffic on foothill! We finally made it to the hospital and a stupid lady asked if I wanted a wheel chair but she moved way too slow getting it so I booked it as fast as I could waddle to the elevator! The nurses checked me in ASAP and sure enough I was dialted to an 8.5! And 100% thinned. Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I wanted the epidural now! And where was Brendon?! Was he gonna make it? My water haven't broken so they decided to wait to break it after Bren got there cause they knew it would go super quick from there! Bren finally got there and so did the anesthesiologist! My BFF! The epidural went great! About 20 min later they came and broke my water and about 20 min after that it was time to push. Her heart rate was dropping so he said we needed to do this quick and sure enough 3 big pushes later my little princess arrived! So healthy and beautiful! The cord was wrapped around her neck and body but everything was okay! She was born at 11:13 am weighing 7.1 lbs and 19 3/4 inches! She had a full head of black hair even more then Hudson did! Life was perfect! Gayle made it 10 min after she was born after driving very quickly from staying the night in Idaho falls! It was so great to have our family there. Hudson came a couple hours later which I had a really hard time with cause he was my little baby and I didn't know how I could give my love to both of them! Boy was I wrong. I love these two angels with all of my heart!! I am so lucky and blessed beyond belief!! Here are just a couple pics!
