She is finally here!!!! My sister Meredith had her new little girl today! Lacy June Bennie was born at 10:44 this morning, and weighs 7 lbs 1 0z and is 19.5 inches long. Meredith was due on Wed, and scheduled to be induced yesterday. Unfortunately, many other women in Orem decided to go into labor yesterday so she had to wait until today. She was in labor for a total of 3 short hours, and pushed for 7 minutes!! I was lucky enough to be in the delivery room, and loved every minute of it!! There is something so special and amazing about witnessing the birth of a baby, I love it!! All are doing well, and Lacy is soooooooo cute! I can't wait to see more of this little girl :)
So today was Brynn's first "real big girl haircut"! She has had her hair trimmed multiple times, but today we cut a lot of it off. It has gotten so long, and I love it long, but I just thought it would look so much healthier if we cut a few inches off. I also thought a shorter cut would be cut for summer. Here are the before pictures... Here she is during. My friend Crystal has a salon in her house and she did it for us :)
Here she is after!! I think she looks so pretty and grown up! And Brynn keeps telling me how much she loves her haircut so I guess she loves it too!!
So I am now realizing that I didn't take many pictures of the animals at all...but we took a trip to the zoo last Friday and had lots of fun!! I came across some buy 1 get 1 free tickets, so it was a very last minute decision to try to go before school was out and beat the summer crowds! I think all of the kids had fun. Brynn especially loved the elephants and watching the bird show!!
Jesse is currently working at Fetzers Architectural Woodwork. He graduated from UVSC 3 years ago in aviation, and is planning on starting an aerial photography business sometime in the near future. In his spare time (which is very sparce) Jesse enjoys any projects around the house involving power tools, watching "How it's Made" or "Myth-Busters", and just about anything involving FIRE, and most of all, playing with his little girl Brynn!
About Laura
I have been a stay at home mom since October 2008, which is the hardest, most rewarding job I have ever had! Before that, I worked as an academic advisor at Utah Valley University for 6 years. I have my masters degree from Utah State University in Psychology, and also have my school counseling license which I plan on using in the future. But for now, I spend my time playing with Brynn, coupon shopping, going to yard sales, and trying to be more domestic every day!! I enjoy canning, and am looking forward to learning how to sew! I also teach FREE coupon classes for SavvyShopper if anyone is ever interested!
