Meet our 1st beautiful

NIECE!

 Charly Joann Polson

Born on Tuesday March 13, 2012 at 9:12a.m. Weighing 8lbs. 10oz.

She's great. She has that feeling.

 When you hold her, all she has to do is lay there, and you already LOVE her!

I think this guy really digs having a niece...

 Aunt Jen and Charly!

 All my boys with the new little family member! Aydan and Traceon now have a girl cousin!

 I think they really like her! They couldn't stop looking at her! It was cute!

The boys and I with my little niece!

 While the new mom was healing up in the hospital Big Brothers Kylar and Collin got to spend all day and night Wednesday, and all morning Thursday with us! It was so fun, and quite rowdy! OF COURSE...I had 4 boys in the house!

It's always stressful for me (and probably everyone else to watch other people's kids) even when they're family, to watch other people's kids. I'm obviously used to taking care of young kiddos, but when they're your own it's different. Different because if something happens it happens and you're to blame for the situation. But it's no big deal because they're yours, and you can comfort them in a way (the only way) they need to be comforted the right way. In a way that makes them feel at home.

Which is why Traceon's bloody lip Wednesday morning wasn't a big deal.

Well...

Kylar's LOOSE TEETH WERE!

Yes, poor Ky's teeth (2 of them) got knocked loose on my watch!

I'm not sure what happened, because they (Aydan and Kylar) were downstairs while we were upstairs. What I understand is that they were fighting and Kylar hit Aydan with a toy and then Aydan pushed Kylar, and Ky fell to the ground  which caused loose teeth. Aydan felt so bad that he cried for about an hour, so I'm thinking that I got the real story.  I felt pretty bad too. I had my teeth knocked loose by being pushed down by a kid when I was little too! It's not fun. Luckily Ky's teeth are not his grown up teeth unlike mine whose were. I have a yellow front tooth that has been bruised even since. Garrett came and got Ky and took him to the Dentist, and the Dentist said he teeth should heal up pretty well.

While Ky was at the Dentist Aydan and I had long talks about the situation, and he was worried Ky wasn't going to like him anymore. Ky came back from the Dentist with a big smile and a new jump rope that he was super excited to show Aydan, so I guess they made up! I think our little boys are becoming big boys, and not putting up with each other's crap anymore. Which I ALWAYS knew was going to happen. There might be brawls in the future that us moms won't even know happened, and I guess that's just a part of being parent's to boys with boy cousin's! Stuff happens, even if you try not to let it.

Nobody lost an eye, or a limb, and seemed to have a great time while playing here, so I call it a success! Especially because COLLIN LOVED being here. Very little crying, and lots of playing and laughing! Oh, and Justin and I both got kisses and hugs multiple times, which has never happened before with him!

See...

I think we're buds now! 

 Tra was rocking out on his guitar, tongue and all!

 Justin and I kissed (nothing inappropriate) and when I looked down Ky was making this face! So funny! I HAD to take a pic! Elvis lip!

 Buddies!

 We had a fun couple of days, and are so happy for Garrett and Stephani and their growing family!

Charly is so sweet and we're glad every thing went smoothly and they got to bring home a cute squishy baby girl!
