Bedroom Buddies!

As Brady and I went to bed one night we were so happy to see all the Bedroom Buddies that magically appeared in our bedroom that night. We had put Anamarie to bed earlier and told her that her animals will keep her safe while she sleeps. That simple reminder must have set the wheels spinning in her head because she managed to design a great plan for mommy and daddy. She carefully and neatly transported every one of her stuffed animals into our bedroom to the foot of our bed...to keep us "safe". It was a very cute welcome!

It's a BOY!!


At 16 weeks of pregnancy, Brady and I had the opportunity to find out what we were having. We were very surprised to have an ultra sound so early; thank goodness for our friends mother who is our nurse. She really hooked us up big time. We weren't planning on it, but she was able to "sneak us in" early. Thanks Mirta.

Brett William Heiner's Birth
















Our little guy was born on November 29, 2008 at 12:11am. He weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. Born in the American Fork, Utah hospital by Dr. Bean from Valley OB-GYN.

Brett gave us quite a scare with his breathing problems when he first came out. Basically his oxygen was cut off during delivery so by the time he came out he really struggled to breathe properly. Unbeknownst to me, they frantically called in many respiratory therapist to help him, but after a few minutes they frantically took him away were they tried to give him oxygen through IV's. After about 10 failed attempts to get the IV in, they finally decided they would have to perform a small surgery by taking the IV tubing into his body through his umbilical cord opening, and weaving it past all his main organs to get to his heart where they permanently placed it for the next 24 hours. After that, his health immediately improved. He still had to stay in the NI CU for 24 hours. I finally got the chance to hold my baby 5 hours later.

Brady wrote all about our first 24 hours with Baby Brett in more detail. click here to read

Caught Maddy painting Taylor's nails

Madison was only 3 years old and Taylor was 5 when I caught them in my bathroom beautifying themselves. Madison put makeup on Taylor and herself, and painted his fingernails and toenails. Seems like forever ago when these 2 played together so well. As you watch the video, notice how content Taylor is during this whole ordeal.

Madison's 3rd Birthday!

We had our final inspection for our home on March 8, 2002 (Madison's 3rd birthday)and moved in that following weekend. We had her party on March 23, 2002. I was reluctant at first because of the exhaustion of building our home, but then decided to throw her a family birthday party. She had just cut about 10 inches of her beautiful long hair just a few days before, so she has quite a cute hair-cut in these photos. Kylee, Preston, Taylor, Tiera, Grandpa Kim, Grandma Eldean, Grandma Linda, Great Grandma Whimpey, Shane, Heather, & Kolby, and Mike all were there in celebration of Madison's 3rd Birthday.
