Disclaimer: I have made this blog for the intent to show loved ones what we've been up to lately. I also want to one day print it out and have it as a journal for the kids. I am not doing this to brag at all. I just thought this is a great way for you all to see what life's been like for us and what we've been doing. I love to see other people's blogs and see their pictures and see what they've been up to. That's all I'm doing here. Thank you!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!!
















Our little men!!!!


Spencer loves to read to Linc.













Happy Birthday to you and you and you......

So we had a great time at our Hale semiannual birthday bash. We celebrated Alisa's, Becky's, Brett's, Tena's, and Kevin's birthdays. Lincoln was a couple days old and it was a great day. It's really fun having the whole fam together. We laugh and joke and have a great time. Micah is so cute and fun and Spencer loves when shes around.


See their holding hands. It's so cute.






Aunt Joni and Bubba




All I can really say is "Ohhhhhhhhh"
Spenc with Linc.

All ready to go


This was so cute. We asked Uncle Jon if he would change Linc into an outfit for his picture at the hospital, he was so careful and sweet with him. He even changed his diaper. What a guy!!! Or should I say, what a good Uncle he is.



More visitors that we LOVE!!!

Our loved ones!!! Thank You!!

Aunt Prenny with Linc. You and your family are the greatest to come up and be with us for our special day. Your girls are so cute and Spencer can't get enough of them. He still talks about his Brenna and Tessa. He loves them so much.

We'd like to thank all of you who came to the hospital and gave all your love and support to us. We love you all so much and can't thank you enough. We appreciate all the time and effort it took to support us. It really meant a lot to us having you there. Some of you traveled all day to be there. We love you so much for that. Grandma Woodbury, Mom and Dad Bowler, Jon and Prentiss with your adorable girls, Amy with her girls, Alisa (our great photographer, you were so great to be there for it all), Mom Hale, Kev and Tenille, Jonsie, & Jen and her two cuties, thank you all so much. It was so great seeing you all and all the gifts you brought to the hospital too, they were all so awesome and super cute. I really did feel so special and I thank you all for that. We are so loved and so blessed. Spencer just loved all the attention and I'd like to thank you again for all the love you showed to him, it really helped us tons. Spencer was so thrilled seeing you all.

Proud Papa

Grandma Bowler - you are so special to us. Thank you for spending all your time with us helping us out a ton. You were such a huge help with Lincoln and especially with Spencer. He adores you and had the time of his life with his Grandma Bowler. You were so great to move in and just be a heroess to us. We can't thank you enough for all you did.


Grandma Hale - you are also a special asset in our lives. Spencer loves his Grandma. You are so great to us. We love you so much.



Grandma Woodbury with some of her great grandchildren. Grandma W. is so cute. We just adore her. There aren't enough words to express our love for her. She is just the best. It was so great seeing her there at the hospital. We love her so much.

So as you can see we are truly blessed with the best family ever.


Introducing Lincoln Bradley

This is our new family. I can't believe how much he looks like his big brother. Except for the chins. Lincoln has a butt chin and Spencer doesn't.
Lincoln was 7.13 and 20 inches. Exactly like Spencer (Lincoln was just 1 oz bigger).

Proud dad picture below.




Spencer's first encounter with his little brother. He was super soft with him, it was so cute.





This is right before they induced me. Spencer was so excited (probably more because his cousins, Grandparents, and Aunts and Uncles were coming). He kept touching and kissing my belly. I told him this is the last time this would be cute and that after today it won't be so cute.

It's official!!!

So I went to the doctor yesterday and we had another ultrasound of Lincoln. She told us that the fluid around him is decreasing too much from the last appointment so she whipped out her date book and we set a date.

10-15-08 (probably)

We will be going in Tues night to start the drugs and it'll likely be Wed sometime he will join the family!!! I'm so scared!!! It really hit me on the way home that this is happening. I mean, I knew eventually he'd have to come out, but now there's a date set and I'm just freaking!! It's not the birth part that I'm scared of either, it's the bringing another baby home and how am I going to be with two. Spencer is a pretty good kid and I know he'll be great with the new one, but am I going to be? I think I lucked out with how well behaved Spencer is.

I know it's just nerves and I will be fine, but it's just a new adventure that's happening NEXT WEEK!!! WOW!!

I just want all of you to know that I love you so much. You have impacted my life in ways you will never know. Each and every one of you have been an inspiration to me and I love you all for that. I hope you are all well and loving life. You are all the best.

I will post pictures of Linc as soon as I can.

More fun in St George

This was our trip to St George. We went to the cabin one night and had a fun time. Spencer just loves being at the cabin. The picture below is Spencer holding a bug......he's such a boy!!! The picture to the left is Kelsey. She's adorable!!!

Spencer had a great time with all his cousins. He was loving all the time with them.

This Tessa girl is so fun!!! She's so cute.
This is just a cute picture of how he fell asleep in the car. He has his hands folded in his lap. PRECIOUS!!!!!

Beauty & The Beast!!!! Raaarrrrr!!!


This is Spencer's Halloween costume and he's with Brenna who is the prettiest princess ever!!! We went down to St George for a quick trip and celebrated Papa Bowler's birthday. It was our last time down before Lincoln comes.
We had a great time with everyone and Spencer and Brenna were inseparable. It was so cute. They had a blast together!
