The Leach's: Updates!!!!

December 29, 2011 Tayson Hadley Kraft was born at 3:03 pm 7lbs. 2oz. 20 inches tall! Healthy baby!!! Cute as can be!!! He is super little!! It was so fun seeing a baby BOY!! after having SEVEN nieces i finally got my 1st nephew!! Boys are so fun! I cannot wait until Porter comes and will have a buddy to grow up and play with! They will be the BEST of friends!! He is such a good baby! He like NEVER cries!! Its so weird not being pregnant with anyone anymore :( it makes me want to have Porter SOOO bad!! When i went and Saw Tayson at the hospital it made me miss Porter..even though i haven't even met him yet! I am SOO excited to have a boy!! I am so lucky Austin will still be here before he leaves to JAMAICA for his mission!! I find myself craving to have an infant in my arms after being around Evelyn and Tayson so much!! I feel so empty without a baby in my arms but i know soon enough i will have Porter here to play with and keep me company while daddy goes to work and school all day! I will have a friend to play with during the day...so looking forward to that! :)

December 25, 2011 Christmas!!! We went down the night before to the Leach's and hung out with them and had a dinner. We woke up and got ready for church...Fiona sang with the Primary so cute! Then we went home and had breakfast! Since it was Christmas, we were able to talk to Justin's brother from his mission over Skype! Talk about the BEST technology EVER! It was so fun being able to see him and talk to him! It felt like it was in person..so real! He is doing really well and only has less than a year left!!! Then we FINALLY opened presents at like 1 in the afternoon...do not ask me how i managed to wait that long...it was hard hahaha It was so fun to watch everyone open their presents! We got lots of good stuff!! We then went over to my parents house for dinner with everyone there (excluding Klor and her family) :( We had a nice dinner and then open presents and our stockings! We got really spoiled this year! Justin got me TWO pairs of boots and jeggings and i got him Kenneth Cole Black Cologne and a dress coat for church and we also got each other the Wii! I cannot believe he talked me into getting a Wii! However, its pretty fun! Dad, Justin and Ryan (Lexi's friend) stayed up till past ONE in the morning playing!!!

December 6, 2011 Evelyn Jane Leach daughter of Brendan and Annie...was born 5 days after her due date! Born at 8:35am 8lbs. 6oz. 19 inches tall! She was born with a full head of beautiful black hair!!! She is the cutest thing yet!!! She is a CHUNK and lots of rolls!! She is so fun and full of personality! She is such a good baby! Just eats and sleeps! She looks like a Asian version of her daddy! Cant wait for Porter to meet her!!!

November 24, 2011 Thanksgiving!!!! Since we spent Thanksgiving last year with my parents..it was time to celebrate it with Justin's side! We were in charge of making the Yams and Cranberry sauce! I was a little nervous since i am FAR the last person to make anything good! Luckily Jodi (my mom-in-law) helped me! They turned out way good! We slept over the night before so we'd already be down there to help with the other cooking! It was a very nice Thanksgiving! It was Justin's family (Eric, Jodi, Trijsten, Trenton and Fiona) and Brendan and Annie with her parents (Alex and Jeanette) and ourselves! It was pretty weather outside...NO SNOW!! After we ate, we played some games then started to watch a movie! Since i had to work that night for BLACK FRIDAY i tried to take a nap...that didn't go too well! I had to work at 11 so we left at 10 thinking we gave ourselves PLENTY of time...oh no, we were WRONG! There was SOOOOO much traffic it was crazy! Luckily i have a speed demon for a husband and sure enough he got me there on the DOT! I thought work would be busy but it was so not even crowded! I was so tired and exhausted! Since it wasn't busy i was able to go home at 2am :) Poor Justin and to wake up from sleeping and come back and pick me up! Sleeping had never felt so good! the next day Brendan and Annie came up and hung out with us and before i had to go back to work! We took them to Gandolfo's (our favorite sandwich place) they liked it! We shopped a little bit then i had to go to work! What a fun day!
