Stephen Edward & Edward Stephen

A little history about the name.... When I first found out I was pregnant I thought I was having a girl. I had a bunch of girl names picked out, and ready to use, and then we found out we were having a boy. The lab tech ask if we had picked out any boy names. Well now we need to go back a bit further.... When Ruth and Grandpa Moore were still alive, Ruth and her family where visiting Grandpa while she was pregnant with Audrey. He really wanted someone named after him. He tried to convince Ruth to name Audrey Edward, and call her Eddie, and no one would ever know her really name was Edward. Ruth just couldn't do it, she felt really bad, and wished she was having a boy so she could. So when I found out I was pregnant I thought well there is Edwina, or Edna, and call her Eddie, but I just couldn't sell it to Trevor.....So when the tech ask if I had thought of any boy names, I hadn't, but then I knew what I had to do...just that quick. His name would be Edward, and when I said Edward, Stephen followed so naturally.

Edward Stephen carries the name of 2 great and amazing people. I didn't know my grandpa very well, but as I hear my mom and Patty, and others talk about him I can tell he had an amazing since of humor, was a hard worker, and most important he loved to fish. Stephen is my younger brother, and I remember a lot of fun things watching him grow up. He was about 12 when I got married, so I missed out on the more fun years, but heard a lot of stories and saw a lot of pictures. He like all of my brothers is a very amazing person in his own unique way. He is a hard worker, and plays even harder.

So Edward Stephen has not only the two people he was named after for great examples, but a lot of amazing Aunts, Uncles, brothers, and a sister to help and guide him as he grows up.

I love my family, and am so blessed to be apart of something so wonderful!!!

Edward Stephen Rice

Edward Stephen Rice decided to join our family on March 1, 2010. He is named after his Great Grandpa Edward Moore, and his Uncle Stephen Edward Campbell. It has taken me a while to figure out, and remember what to do with these little guys.

I have having a really hard time wrapping my brain around the idea that I have a baby in the house. I was just accepting the idea that I was pregnant, when he came about 3 weeks early. Well at least he waited until March. Another thing I am having a hard time getting use to is looking down and seeing all that dark hair, however I never get tired of looking at him, or holding him.

Adrienne, Oliver and Braden are loving their new little brother. Braden and Adrienne really enjoy holding him. Yesterday (4/10) while at the zoo, we had a stroller, however he spent little time in the stroller. Braden was holding him in one arm, and shooting video with the other. He is a good big brother, even he had relinquished his title of the youngest now to Edward. He is a very loved baby!!

Adrienne's Song

Poor Rosie maybe

This dog is one that will continue to make me wonder "What was she thinking?" She has usually been a little quirky. She is usuall quite content to just watch things happen. If you toss her a ball and tell her to "fetch" she will just look and you, and if she could talk I know she would say "you through the stupid ball you go get it!"

She hates thunder and fireworks, she will try to crawl into the smalles of places not realizing she is as big as she is. She likes to be where she can look out the window and see what is going on. She knows she we don't like her to bark when someone comes to the door, but she just can't help it.

Well yesterday, I came home from work and was exausted!!!! All I wanted to do was sleep. I get in my room, and I hear her bark, so I tell Trevor to tell her to stop. Trevor lets me know she is in the house, and it was a different dog. Well I just get to sleep and the I would hear 2-3 barks, and then it would stop for about 15 minuets, and the I would hear another 2-3 barks. Finally a dog somewhere was going to die!!!GRRRR

I went down stairs, and Trevor followed me down, becasue he could sence somthing was not right becasue he knew how tired I was. I walk around the corner and Adrienne is sitting there with her dog (Moe). I said "Has that dog been barking?" She said no and wondered why I was so upset. I as where is rosie, and head down to Oliver's room thinking she what locked in his room. At that point they let me know that when they got home (2 hours ago) that Rosie didn't come in the house. So now I am thinking what the heck, your dog doesn't come in, and you don't wonder why, seriously what the heck!!!

So then I head out the back door in the dark without my shoes on looking for this dog. We finally found her, she had got herself stuck under the deck. I don't know if she chased a squarrel under there, or if she got scared. We got her out, in and cleaned up and all is well. I did come home from work early today, and slept for about a hour and a half. At this point I am so ready to to go to bed, and yes the dogs are all still alive and well!

new year baby

Last night as I was watching the news, they had the first baby of Canyon County, and Ada County on the news. I kind of always thought it would be fun to have the first baby of the year, however that opportunity has never presented its self. Well I guess .... Friday when I was in the hospital, I knew it wasn't the right time, which is part of the reason it took me so long to realize I was having contractions. I am really thankful for the dream I had when Ruth brought me Edward, but told me I couldn't have him yet. I think at this point I would be totally freaked out and totally stressed. I know he will not come until he is ready, however that doesn't mean I can be stupid and not listen to the doctor. As most of you know as you get to this point in the pregnancy, you are counting down the days until you actually get to hold your baby, and you are so in the frame of mind that you are ready for the pregnancy to be over. However I am very thankful I am still pregnant, and will patiently wait my 9 weeks and 5 days for this little guy to be done.

Look What Adrienne Did!!!!

She put the crib together, made it, folded all the clothes and put them away, and made a list of all the items we still need to get. Maybe I will keep her around a bit longer.
