Our Blessings

So last night as I sat down to blog I looked out the window and saw a whole bunch of cute people outside playing base ball.
So of course I went out to join them.
We had a blast and came in late, I completely forgot about blogging.
So 2 posts for today it is!

My pregnancy with Brendan was a surprise, Kayla was still a baby, 9 months old, when I found out that I was pregnant. Never the less I was still super excited for this new baby!
When I was 7 weeks along I began to bleed.
It's the worst thing that can happen to you when you're pregnant.
I called my midwife, and took it easy for a few days, then went in to the ER and got some blood work and an ultrasound done over the next few days.
The emotions I went through during that time went from high to low so often.
The mixture of begging God to spare this little one, to being able to surrender this little life back to Him were very real.
After a week they said that all looked good, and it was topped off with me being able to see a teeny tiny little baby, the size of a grain of wheat, with a small beating heart inside! 
This mama heart melted!!
8 months later we met Brendan Cole.
He was born on May 6 2013, 4 days late, 1 day before Josh headed to go seeding! :) 
He new just when to come.



He was also my fastest baby to come. I went into labour at 3 pm, we left for the hospital at 5 and he was born at 7! We decided not to cut it so close next time! :)


Our fist family picture.


Brendan's 1st birthday 
By the time Brendan was 1 he had learnt how to do many things, we was eating table food, sitting, crawling, walking, and had quite the personality.
Fun fact, Brendan had the biggest head of any of our babies. :)




McDonalds to celebrate!


The 2nd birthday
Brendan loves sports, any kind of sports, football, hockey, baseball and tennis.
He loves to watch sports with daddy, but he really loves watching his daddy play sports and always knows who he cheering for.
Fun fact, we have always gone out to McDonalds for Brendans birthday, now it's a tradition so we will just need to keep it up!







We made the announcement that we were pregnant again on Brendan's 2nd birthday.




And the 3rd birthday.
We knew just what to get Brendan of this birthday, anything for the outdoors!
He loves to play outside, riding his bike, riding with daddy, camping, picnics, sports, going for walks, swimming, swinging, ya, pretty much anything.
Fun fact, Brendan became a big brother, and he is the sweetest big brother that I know!


Thumbs up for the new bike!






Brendan, you are a sweet little kid. You have an awesome personality, and love to joke around with Daddy.
We have enjoyed watching you grow up these past few years and cant wait to see where this life will take you. 
We love you Brendan!
