For christmas my fabulous mother in law Karen got me a digital scrapbooking program. I love downloading cute kits, but haven't had the time to make anything yet, until now! Here is my first try at digital scrapbooking! I hope you like his birth announcement! We chose the middle name Vernon after my grandpa. He is an amazing person! He has personally done so much for me and our family all my life. He is a very humble person with a strong spirit that you can feel with him in your presence. We feel honored that we can name Brody after him! We are so happy to have Brody in our lives! What a blessing for us to have 3 completly healthy kids! Collin's favorite thing to do is to give him kisses on the head (supervised of course :), and Jayden loves to be helpful with getting things to change his diaper, and hold him. She is a very protective older sister, and I love that she loves him so much! While we are talking about things we are thankful for, I need to say that I am so thankful for Jeff in my life! I am so greatful that he is worthy to have the preisthood to bless my life, and our kids! The power of the preisthood is truly amazing, and spirit that comes with it is undeniable. It is amazing what a comfort it brings. I am so happy to have the gospel in my life!
I am still finding it hard to believe how much it snowed overnight! Jeff and Jayden went out this morning and built this snowman! Her name is Daisy the Duck (could you tell she loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) :) Jayden is pretty convinced "summer is not going to come afterall"!
We had a nice suprise early on St. Patricks Day. At 1 am I started having contractions. I woke Jeff up at about 2:30 am (not wanting to wake him for a false alarm). At about 3:30 am we decided that we should probably go the hospital and see what was going on. (At this point I was still in denial that I could be going into labor 2 1/2 weeks early). We took the kids to my grandparents house about 4ish and headed to the hospital. After finding out that I was dialating, they said we were ready to have this baby! Jeff gave me a very sincere blessing of peace and comfort, and we headed off to the operating room. At 6:20 Brody was born. He 
weighed 5 pounds 11 ounces, and was 18 inches long. He came out healthy and cute as ever! Thanks to everyone who has helped us and visited us!
In rememberance of Jeff's Grandma that recently passed away, the Stevenson family decided to do a humanitarian project. She was a huge believer of donating, and so each year the family wants to do something around her birthday.
You may wonder what's with the random picture, and are all of these items related somehow? Yes, there is always an explanation :) All of these items have seen their lives under water (or floating in water) , until later discovered, in the bottom in our toilet! This has all taken place in the past week, Collin's new obsession! He thinks the toilet is so cool, and if only he were slightly taller, or could balance on his tippy toes better, he could reach that water! I must say I credit Jeff for being able to take this picture, since it has all happened different times when I was gone! I do admit I look forward to hearing what has been thrown in! So far a bowling pin, toy car, 2 pairs of socks, bowl and spoon, and today hairspray have become victims! Are we learning you ask? Slowly, but surely we will make sure the toilet lid is closed every time!
Free-spirited and wise. You have a strong passionate spirit that touches and changes all who know you. The wisdom and common sense that you have is really what guides you through life. Even so, you also have a very playful side that loves adventure and excitement.
