BRITTANY HAD HER BABY!!!!

So Brittany Strong had her baby boy Porter Beck Strong

Monday Feburary 2nd @ 5:58pm

He weighted 6lbs. 14 oz He was 20 inches long

We all waited all day for him to come! Brittany's doctor told her she would most likely deliver faster the 2nd time around. That turned out NOT to be correct! Poor thing was in labor since 9:30am that morning. Jeremy kept texting all day to keep me informed of the progress. Then he called us soon after he was born to tell us all was good and to hurry to the hospital to check the new member of the family! We were the 2nd ones on the scene at the hospital then we waited our turn after all the grandparents check out the new addition. Porter was well worth the wait! He is a very cute baby! We went up again on Tuesday to bring them dinner and to get in some more "porter time" at the hospital! Congrats Brittany! we sure are happy for you!

Here are some cute pics I took at the hospital! Enjoy!

It's all about GAME DAY!!!



It is all about GAME DAY for me!!! I love football but why wouldn't I - I grew up in Texas where to us football is a religion! My favorite team of course is the "Dallas Cowboys" but in general I just love football and can remember from a early age watching football with my dad since my brothers didn't come along for another 10 years after me I was the one that watched football and pro wrestling - yeah I know you are like what? wrestling? kimber? but I have to admit that I loved it watching wrestling with my dad on Saturday nites was like our date nite my mom of course wanted no part of it which was fine with us we didn't want her there spoiling our fun! So back to football did I tell you yet how much I love it? I think everyone should have a "team" I don't understand it when people don't it makes no since to me. Only some of my family members have "teams" which bothers me a great deal! lol Taylor and Trevor are true blue Denver Bronco fans (that is their dads favorite team) but they do say Cowboys are their 2ND favorite. For me there has never been any other team than the Cowboys! So for me the Superbowl is just as big as any other major Holiday. This year was no exception I planned the menu and organized the friends and made the plans- if you haven't clued in to the fact yet that I am OCD this next part will let you know for sure. I went to Target in Layton cause I had seen that they had really cute Superbowl plates and cups for the big day then when I got there they only had some of the stuff I was looking for -they where out of the big football plates so I asked someone to help me and they looked on the computer and told me the next target that had the plates I was looking for was in West Jordan. So have you guessed what I did? If you said I drove to West Jordan you are correct! LOL yes I drove to West Jordan for paper plates! but they looked like footballs! I also got napkins, table cloth and the best thing was the "air horn"!!
The Cooks were great to let us have it at their house and the Strong's along with Brooke and Mark came to join in the fun. If some of you noticed I left church early to get to home change and help Mike and Tina with any last min. details. We had a blast none of our teams where playing but we were all cheering for Arizona we had to at least cheer for the NFC! It was a great game and I had fun using the air horn every time there was a touchdown! It was a great game and had tons of fun with good friends I hope you enjoy the slide show!
