Ronan Jay Tyler has arrived

Me, Jill and Ronan leaving the hospital.

Just getting home.

10 minutes after he was born. Can you tell who took this pic?

The kids love the baby. Sadie thinks she doing something, like helping hold him or something with that halo action. Does she think a burst of wind is coming to knock off his beanie? Who knows???

Our new family.

Big brother. He's pretty proud.

Well, it happened. Thurs morning we went to the hospital at 7:30 and got in the room about 8:00. Jill was dilated 5cm when we got there and the Beckster broke her water around 8:30. Like clockwork, the contractions starting coming quick and fierce. Next, the epidural and at 11:oo the nurse checked again and said, "Well, he's right there. You're ready. Let's have a baby." The doc showed up at 11:15 and got prepped and Jill started pushing at 11:33. Ronan was born at 11:35, no joke, I'm the witness (yes, those are all AM times). We feel really blessed to live in this day with all the luxuries and comforts we enjoy. The whole delivery part of having kids seems too easy(at least from my point of view). Jill did awesome and deserves all the credit in the world.

Here's the deets: 7lbs. 13.5 ozs. 20 inches long. Some brown hair and looks identical to Brody when he was a newborn. I think he's got more Arnett in him than our other kids do/did, especially when he's awake. Thanks to our families for doing so much for us and helping out our little family. We really appreciate it and love all of your support and love. Feel free to come by and check him out, I like chocolate malted crunch ice cream and Jill likes Golden Spoon (fruity flavors). Syke. Ok, the chocolate malted crunch is OK to bring. As for little Ronan...I got one word...perfect.

They got hitched!

I still can't believe he is married!
This weekend we all went over to Murrieta California for Justin and Kristina'a wedding. At least we thought that is what we were going for! After they all walked down the isle the bishop told us that they April fooled us all and that they got married 2 days ago in AZ! Everybody was totally shocked! I guess it takes a few days to get a marraige licsence in Cali...that they didn't plan for so they just went ahead and got married at the court house and then they just had a ring ceremony for us all in California. Crazy huh? I mean who does that? It was still beautiful and I am so happy for them to start there life together!

Two cute flower girls!

We took the kids to the beach the day before the wedding and it was freezing! I think it was about 60 degrees and so windy! But the boys still loved getting chased by the waves....until they would trip and get drenched from the water. It was pretty funny!

Our Easter Weekend

We started off the weekend with an Easter egg hunt and breakfast with our neighborhood kids. We had it at the park down the street from us. We have the best street ever and could not ask for better kids! We never want to move from here.

Later that night we went to a Tyler reunion at Noah's parent's church. We celebrated the lives of His Grandma Colleen and Grandpa's Frank and Merril. Yes he has two, and they are always together. As a matter of fact, I don't think I have ever not seen them all together in the 6 years I have been in the family. They all are amazing people and love there family so much. We love them so much and were so excited to be a part of that night and pay tribute to them.

Easter Morning the kids got there Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny. It was a tradition for my Mom to always give us Swimsuits for Easter growing up. So I love carrying on the tradition of getting my own kids new swimsuits for the season. Then we got all dressed up for church and had to take a few pics.
Church on Easter is my favorite. I love all the wonderful songs and talks on the resurrection of our Savior. My ward did not let me down yesterday. I heard two of the best talks on Repentance and the songs were amazing! I'm so thankful for the knowledge of Christ and His gospel and all that He has done for us. Later that night we had dinner at my parents house. My mom is the best cook ever and I always look forward to her Easter dinner. She makes the best rolls in the whole world! We had a little Easter egg hunt and the kids got the funnest Easter baskets from my parents. We had a great weekend and hope everyone did also!!

He's here!!

No not my baby(I wish)! My SIL Kate(my brother Jay's wife) had her baby yesterday and he is the cutest thing ever! Big sister Claire(15 months) is already in love with him. We'll see if that changes in the next few days. They have not decided on a name yet, but it might be Grant or Max. Both so cute! I'm so excited for them to come home so I can hold him some more! They live right next door..lucky me!

Don't mind this nasty picture of me!

New found glory

I have stumbled upon a few items that I have fallen in love with, and thought I should share my new finds.

Every night before bed, Noah has a treat and it is always Chocolate Molten Crunch or Chips Ahoy and milk. I don't like either and have been trying to find a treat a little less fattening and just found these gems!! I'm totally a fruity treat girl, so when I saw these I new I found my Treat!! They come in Strawberry, Raspberry, Lemon, Mango, and Peach. I have not found the Mango one yet, so if you have let me know! Oh ya, and they are Fat Free!!

My friend Shelly introduced me to Dwell and now I love it too. I just realized that Target has a line of Dwell products at their stores! I just got this Boppy for the baby and am in love with this pattern and colors. I really love the bedding and blankets they have also.

Have you tried the Mattress topper from Costco yet? If you don't have one...go get one!! Trust me it's well worth it! We got one about a month ago and absolutely love it.

The other day I had to get ready at the gym and totally forgot shampoo and conditioner so I went to buy some at the salon there. They carry Bumble and Bumble and have always wanted to try it so I spent way too much for shampoo and cond., but let me tell you...I'm in love! This one has the most amazing smell and makes my hair feel so good!

Meet the new Couple!

I really can't believe my little brother is getting married! Kristina is so cute and will be so much fun to have in the family. She has a little boy who is one year old. Coincidently his name is Justin. Funny huh? He is so cute and the best baby! They are getting married next month in California. I'm so happy for them!

Lehi Days!

Every March the little town of Lehi puts on a rodeo called Lehi Days. I grew up going and participating in this and still look forward to it every year. I haven't been in a few years so this was the first time I was able to take my kids. They loved it. I think they are cowgirl/cowboy at heart just like their Mom! I took this rodeo pretty serious when I was younger. I did the goat tying, barrel racing, and boot race(Which my team took home a nice belt buckle one year!). I can't wait for next year to put the kids in an event! Noah also participated in Lehi Days this year...as a cook! My dad was in charge of part of the cooking so he recruited Noah and my brothers to help him all day. They all worked so hard!
