Christmas!!!

Christmas!!!! what a wonderful time of year...We've been so busy this past few months, with the new baby and all, so I'm a bit behind in the blogging thing, as you probably can tell. The girls danced at a craft fair and also danced at the Heritage Center. They're are doing so well. Lexie and Shayley are in the same class, which makes it nice for me. Last year we had to stay for 3 hours so each girl could be in different classes. With Corbin in the picture this year, I just decided I couldn't do that again. It's working out nicely. Shayley's had to step it up a bit, because this class is so much faster than the one last year, but she's doing a great job! Can't believe it's Christmas already. Seems like I just had my baby. I think the time goes by much faster these days. We had our family pictures done in November. They turned out pretty cute. Boy have the girls grown up. Not much happening right now that's too exciting. We're all feeling well and doing well, and that's really all we could ask for.

Shayley

WHAT A GREAT DAY THIS WAS! Shayley was baptized by her dad on October 11, 2008. She looked so pretty. Grammie took her to the mall in St. George and let her pick out her dress. What a pretty dress it was. She looked like a princess. She picked out a real frilly dress & Shoes that looked like Cinderella's. Her dad was so proud to get the chance to baptize another one of his daughters. What a wonderful experience for the two of them. We had a lot of family come to support her, which was nice. After her baptism, we came home and a nice dinner with the family.

Corbin's Birth

CORBIN'S BIRTH

Our sweet little boy was born on August 11th, 2008 @ 3:09 p.m. It was a long labor (11 hours). I thought it would be a breeze, mean as when I had Chloee I was only in labor for 3 hours. Whatever!!! He decided to take his time entering this world. . . A typical STEPHENSON, does what he wants when he wants. . . He's a little doll (literally-my girls think that I had him just for them). My girls are the best little helpers ever. When they're home I don't have to do much. They fight over who is going to take care of him. He's a good baby. Since we came home from the hospital, he has gone to bed at 10:30 p.m., wakes up between 3:30 and 4:00 a.m., and is back down by 5:00 and up at 7:00 a.m. to get ready for the day. He and I stayed home until he was 4 weeks old and then we went back to work. That's right "We". He gets to go to work with me. What a trooper he is. We hardly even know he's there. He brings a new light to work, which is a good thing. He's 7 weeks old now (I'll get new pictures one here one of these days). He weighs 11.5 pounds already. He's gonna be a BIG BOY!!! Seems like that's all he wants to do is EAT. . .
