Cutest Boys in the World

While these are not Super Hero pictures they are still the cutest boys in the world (I might be a little bias). I love the bright colors and, of course, the cute smiles of my boys.

The Super Hero Brunson Boys

We had the amazing Tina Miera take some pictures of the boys last weekend and, as always, ended up with some awesome shots. This post is dedicated to the Super Hero Brunson boys.

They have both been begging for Super Hero posters in their rooms. I'm thinking we might have to blow some of these up to hang on their walls. Love them!

 This one is my favorite.

Repost: Beckett's Birth Story

This was my fourth time going through labor and delivery, but the two before Beckett were both induced and my first time was 12 years ago so I really wasn't sure what to expect. I started noticing contractions around 5:00 pm and started timing them half an hour or so later. They weren't at all regular so I wasn't sure if it was real labor or not. I continued to time them for another hour or so. I still wasn't sure and called my mom. She told me if it was real I would know. I didn't KNOW so I figured I could wait longer. I called her back about 15 minutes later and told her to come over to get Holden. It felt like it took her FOREVER to get to my house since my contractions were about 3 minutes apart by the time she got here. I'm sure she didn't hurry since I wasn't positive I was in labor when I talked to her.

We left our house about 8:30 to go to the hospital. By this time I was feeling the pain. As soon as we got in a room I told them to page the anesthesiologist. I'm sure the nurses thought I was insane since they hadn't checked me yet or anything. Who needs an epidural as soon as they arrive? They didn't page him, but made me get checked first. When they realized I was already at a 7 they sent him a page. I think I was really lucky I got an epidural at all. He said he was getting ready for a C-section so he hurried to do mine. Had he not hurried I would not have had drugs. And believe me, I need drugs.

Almost as soon as the medicine kicked in it was time to push. I think we estimated I pushed for 15 minutes or so. And at 9:48 pm Beckett Archibald Brunson arrived! It was a really quick labor overall and really freaks me out if we decide to have another child in the future. All in all about 4 1/2 hours. Not too shabby.

Favorite Conference Quotes

While I did not get to watch all of conference I did get to watch parts of it. And there were some amazing talks. Here are my top 3 favorite quotes. I think they totally apply to all of us whether you are LDS or not.

What are your favorite quotes from conference?

Mamas on a Dime on 97.1 ZHT

Becky and I were on the radio this morning promoting Mamas on a Dime on 97.1 ZHT. Jessica, Frankie, and DB were super nice and totally made us feel at ease. I could have sat with them all day and just talked. It was fun and they were hilarious.

In general, I don't love being in the media, but today was more fun and easier than I expected. Plus, I get to do it with Becky and that makes everything better. Thanks for all the support everyone!

Ode to My Sister

B is for your blonde, brown, wait blonde hair. Oh and and your better half (that's me!)

E is for your never ending wit and commentary. You can always cheer me up and bring me to task when needed.

C is for your coolness factor which is totally off the charts. Or possibly for the Transformer Church that resides behind your house.

K is for your kookiness. No one can make me laugh quite like you.

Y is for the Yes! I know you are yelling as you read this totally awesome, amazing, poem that doesn't rhyme.

I love you! And I appreciate all you are willing to do for me and for those you love. You rock more than you know!
