Welcome baby Ella!

I was induced on March 14, 2012.  We welcomed Ella Reese Hansen into our family. It was a great delivery at Orem Community Hospital.  Her doctor was Dr. Judd and he did an excellent job along with all my nurses.  Ella weighed seven pounds two ounces and was twenty inches long.  We are so blessed that she was born healthy and beautiful.  I told Jeremy that I hope she would come out with dark hair and lots of it since I knew this would more than likely be our last child.  Savannah and Breckin were born with not much hair and had Jeremy's hair color so I was very surprised when she actually had dark hair and lots of it. We are still trying to get used to having three kids, the hardest part right now is helping Breckin understand what is going on.  Savannah is absolutely in love with Ella, it is the most precious thing to witness.  She doesn't just say her name she sings "Ella Reese" when talking to her.  I am so blessed to have such a beautiful, loving, healthy family.

Update time

So I just realized I never posted about Christmas and many other things in the past few months. I have been so tired and busy trying to get everything ready for the baby.  Mostly tired, I do not remember being this exhausted, it could have something to do with the wild little boy I have running around plus Savannah who seems to never run out of energy. I snapped a few pictures of Savannah today so I thought I would post them. She is growing up to be a beautiful little lady, can't forget to mention with lots of attitude.




Below are a few of Breckin at his best. He always pulls
his pant legs up and jams out to music.  He is very good at head boppin'.
I have no idea where he got this from, I promise it was not from me:) And I
must add that he loves shoes so he is always stealing everyones shoes.


We had planned on having a Superbowl party but we all got sick so we just hung out at home and watched the game as a family. I made a couple of the treats I had planned on, they didn't turn out exactly like I planned because I didn't have all the ingredients but the kids didn't care.

Savannah and I thoroughly enjoyed the mini fruit pizza's.

We had family come into town and we went ice skating, well they went ice skating.
Savannah loved it and asks to go back all the time.


We made a trip to California at the beginning of January.  We stayed at the Heaton's and enjoyed visiting with them, went to the beach, we were able to go to one of Emily's soccer games.  On our way back we stayed in Las Vegas for a couple of nights, Dave and Suzanne and Rob and DeAnn were there and even gave us a free stay at the hotel which was a bonus. The trip was too shirt but we were ready to be home because Breckin proved once again he does not like being away from his home.
Breckin kept escaping out the door,
at least this time he had clothes on.

They got to go on a ride on the luggage carrier.
Free entertainment I'll take it!


Breckin kept escaping onto the track trying to get to the soccer game.

Breckin is in Vroom Vroom Heaven:)





Breckin didn't want to hold his hands because they were "dirty".

And finally we are back to Christmas, we had a very blessed Christmas this year. It was a fun time with the kids opening their gifts. We also went to the nursing home and handed out treats and Christmas cards that Savannah colored. Jeremy surprised me with a new camera, I was in tears when I opened it.  i had been asking for one for years and I guess I was a finally a good girl:) Jeremy and I stayed up on Christmas Eve and put together bikes and toys and we decided that was the best part for us, we really enjoyed trying to be quiet and the suspense of what if the kids come downstairs. Here are a few pics from the festivities.

Could not get a picture of these two together but this
was right before going to the nursing home.

Breckin's new PJ's

Savannah's new PJ's. She actually picked these out but had no idea she
was getting them, she loves unicorns so she was
 thrilled when she opened them on Christmas Eve.

Santa must have stopped by.



Pancakes for the kids on Christmas morning.


He got some cool guns from Grandpa and Grandma.
