So BEHIND!

First things first, we had our beautiful baby girl!

                                          On February 07, 2011 I decided I was going to do everything i could to get this little girl out...so, i walked about 4 miles from my house down to Subway (YUMM). The next morning, this is what i looked like!

 I could not have asked for a better labor partner.

 Brian supported me to the fullest with my decision to try to

 have a natural labor. Having him support me as well as he did,

just made me LOVE him so much more. <3 But, despite all his support,

i got an epidural at the last minute..it took the edge off my last couple of contractions but when it was time to push, i dont think it helped much at all...i definatly felt it!

Born February 8, 2011.

7 lbs 15 oz and 20 in long.

We named her IVY LYNN!

She has a very special name, Ivy is after myself and my great grandmother and Lynn was a close friends middle name!

Ivy is so blessed to have such an amazing and loving big brother!
He loves to giver her hugs and kisses, im so grateful they have eachother to grow up with... 

Monkey Business

Did i mention im 30 Wks?!

Halloween Fun in 2010



This was the first Halloween we celebrated as a family! Isaiah was Eeyore this year, I was a cowgirl, and at the last moment i convinced Brian to dress up too. The only costume we had that he could fit into was an inmate costume! He hated it, but i love him to pieces for doing it for me. He wouldn't let me take a picture of him in his costume though...goofy guy.



How cute is he!



Corn box fun

Look at that belly!



To celebrate this year we went to Linder Farms out in Kuna, ID. We went a couple weeks before Halloween to "get into the spirit." It was a lot of fun for little kids. They had a a swing that Isaiah just couldn't get enough of, a corn box, and there was a little barrel train he liked too.





Brian and I, especially Brian, got really into the corn maze! With Brians determination we found all 12 checkpoints so we got some free popcorn. YUMM! Of course there was a punkin' patch where Isaiah got to pick out his own pumpkin too! He is such a big boy and such a blessing in my life, i couldn't ever get enough of him!

The Saturday before Halloween was Boo at the Zoo. We thought that would be a fun place to take a curious toddler.

Finally, on the day of Halloween we decided to try out the nearby malls. We heard some of the stores passed out candy. It was a lot more work than intended but still Isaiah enjoyed getting some candy. After we went around the malls we met up with Lauren, Brians sister, and we went around a neighborhood with her...all in all we had a great time!

Our little Surprise!

June 12, 2010 (exctly one week after our wedding)...Brian woke up to me saying what does this mean?!?! Am i reading this right?! Yep, you guessed,  we are pregnant! After scheduling a doctors appointment we discovered that our due date is February 11, 2011. We are having a little GIRL! We couldnt be any happier!

 

 

Where do I BEGIN...

Mr. Brian Anthony Cooper and Ms. Brittani Ivy Carter met in March 2009 at our jobs! We worked for a telemarketing place called Sturner & Klein in Boise, ID. It was a very relaxed job, which was great for us because we got to spend a lot of time getting to know more about eachother. We sat together everyday at work and became great friends! Sadly, Sturner & Klein shut down, but that didnt stop Mr. Cooper from losing his friend from work. He nonstop tried setting up "dates" and would hardly take no for an answer. Finally, Ms. Carter gave in and boyyy is she glad she did! The two were happily married on June 5th 2010! We instantly had a family too because Ms. Carter had a son named Isaiah!



Of Course Isaiah was not left out of this Celebration!
