Dad & Brynlee on the ride, Brynlee wanted to be the one to steer. What a big girl she thinks that she is.

Bryaden our Public Speaker

On Sunday Oct. 26th was our wards Primary Program. Brayden is a sunbeam this year ,so he got his own part. He memorized his part weeks before the program. He was so brave and was not scared to go up to the mircophone and speak. He spoke loud and clear this is what he said "Someday I will go to the Mesa Arizona Temple." We love him so much and our so proud of our little boy that is growing up so fast.

Abigail Our New Little Niece

We are so happy for my brother Anthony & his wife Karalee. on the arrival of there new baby girl! My kids finally have a Cousin on the Carranza side.

Isn't she adorable?

Brody So Cute and Sweet!

Brody is 2wks old this week, and still weighs under 7lbs. He is still so small. I am learning on how to adjust with three kiddos. Brayden has school three days a wk so I have to get all of us loaded in the car. (boy is that a challenge!) Brody has been getting better with sleeping 4-6 hrs at night.I am lucky , he is still so young. Brayden and Brynlee sure love there new little brother. These Picutres were taken by Crystal Caldwell she is starting her photography business. She did a great job! Check her blog out !http://photographycaldwell.blogspot.com/

He is finally here!

Let me introduce myself...my name is Matthew "Brody" McNeil. I was born Sept. 29th, 2008 @ 2:36am, weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19 inches long.

As you know we thought long & hard about the name. We finally came to a decision literally a couple of hours before leaving the hospital! It felt like it was a matter of life or death...which it was really about "a" life...Brody's. We stuck with a "Br" name but in a little unusual way if you haven't already noticed. We are SO glad that he is here and are forever grateful to our Heavenly Father for him!

Happy Birthday Mom!!

Our Silly Little Girl (Princess)

Brynlee is now 15 months, she is in the 95% for her height and is in the 25% for her weight.. She is our little monster, she loves climbing and opening every drawer and cabinet that she can reach. Boy will I have my hands full when the new baby comes. Here are some sassy pictures of her as grandpa makes her laugh. She sure loves her grandparents so much.

Brayden's New Hair Cut!!!

This week Brayden decided him and a friend needed a new hair style; after school on Wednesday, while mom was at work, he was over at a friends house and he came across some beard clippers and attempted to cut his hair. He ended up cutting a hole on side of his head that was pretty much down to his scalp. So the only way to fix his hair was to cut it all down to the same length. So here is his new do.. Thank goodness he is a boy and hair grows back pretty fast for him..

Go Broncos!!!!

For the 1st time we had a chance to go to the Glendale Stadium with our friends Ethan & Jen. Ethan's brother, Spencer, is playing for the Broncos, so we went to the game last weekend. We cheered as loud as we could for him and the Broncos won! We were so excited!! We had no voices at the end of the night. Thank you to Ethan and Jen for inviting us, we had a blast!!!

What should we name him?

As you all may know I am coming to end of this third pregnancy!! I am 32 1/2 weeks now and in about 3 week my doctor is going to do a ultrasound so we can see how big this bad boy is... My doctor said he wouldn't let me go over this time, since Brynlee weighed in at 9lbs 2oz & that is big enough for me,thank goodness..
But I feel bad for the little man, he has no name as of right now. I guess you get to your third child and you don't know where to start? Many people keep asking me "Do you have a name yet?" I say "NO" I think this baby will not have a name until the day he is born? Matt and I just can't agree on a name that we both like.... We are trying to keep it, in the "BR'S" like our other two kiddos.
So I thought maybe I would post the names that I have come up with and see what everyone else thinks, maybe it can help Matt and I decide or narrow it down to at least two names for the poor little guy.

To the right is a poll to help us narrow down the names...so let's see what we come up with...thanks for your help!

Girls Night Out!!!

Happy Birthday Jen!!

We had so much fun, going to dinner, shopping and oh yeah Bahama Bucks was a blast! Hopefully we can do this more often. We love ya Jen!!!
