He's here!

Okay so I know I am a little slow on updating whats been going on around here, but hey I just had a baby and he has a way of keeping me busy day/night.  If I'm lucky I can squeeze a fast shower in during his cat nap.
Rewind a month and four days and that's when the party began.......
Friday January 2nd Hank and I headed to the hospital for a Dr appointment. After meeting with my doctor we were told that I needed to be induced that day because of a pregnancy complications that was putting both the baby and I in danger. Not sure if I walked or if the butterflies in my stomach flew me out of the doctor office and down the hall  into the labor and delivery wing! Once we got there we were led into our room and all the fun got started.

The BEST delivery nurses!

                                                                                    His first cry was heard by ALL!
                                                                                   My baby boy was born with a good set of lungs

Poor little guy got stuck for a bit so he had a pretty bad cone head for the day

      Proud Daddy!                                                              Proud (tired) Mama!

First family picture!

So grateful my mom was there with us! Couldn't have made it through without her!

Saturday January 3rd at 10:43 a.m. Grant Hank Bingham came into our family and has changed our lives forever!   My heart feels like it has doubled in size; I can't explain how much I love this little man!

Huge thank you to my friend Hez for the pictures!

Pre baby date

Saturday night Hank and I were supposed to go to Utah for a family Christmas party, but sadly I didn't feel I could make the drive down and back home all in one day. That's a long drive for a fat pregnant lady. I was totally bummed because I love seeing Hanks family down there. Instead of staying home and having a pity party for myself hank and I decided to get a date in before the baby comes. We went and saw the movie Unbroken (great movie) then after we ate some dinner at Sheri's. The food sucked but I couldn't have asked for better company!
The life Hank and I have come to know the past 4 1/2 years is soon to change. As nervous as we both are we couldn't be more excited for this new journey.

sure love this man of mine!!! (don't mind my sleepy puffy face)

It's the final countdown!!!

And the countdown is on!

10 weeks!!!!

 

 

sorry for the crappy picture, my phone is a little on the stinky side when it comes to this department.

 

 

Auntie time

My oldest sister and mom took a trip to visit my aunt. So I got to have two of my nephews stay with Hank and I for a couple days. It was a good little prep for my future with a little boy. (my future looks to be busy) boys are so much fun. The boys had fun doing different things on the farm

to start off..... we let "animals" in our house. Gotta love old farm houses.

playing at the park

after we had ice cream with uncle hank

We spent lots of time at my in laws house (that's where all the animals are). We got to spend time with horses cows.



no horses rides for this guy. Darn allergies!

 

finger painting fun

Uncle Hank teaching Carter to rope

 

These boys got up early so they could go feed cows with Hank. (no girls allowed...... how rude!) 

headed to work in the pickup.

 

 I love being a aunt, and getting to spend time with these boys just made me love it even more.

Piano Lessons

I just started my 3rd year of teaching piano this month. This is from our end of the year recital we had back in May.

Teaching piano has been such a growing experience for me. I have learned so much; and with every student I learn something new ....even if it is to re-learn the skill of patience.  I am grateful for the opportunity I have to teach all these kiddos.

Bring on the new year!

The good life.

Last week I was able to go spend some time with Hank while he was swathing hay. Our swather is very much a one seater but I don't mind. My seat is on the floor between the door and the seat. The company makes it totally worth a numb tushie!

 

my view

love when I get to tag along with this handsome dude!

That evening we were able to go on a date to the temple.  We ended the night with dinner at Sizzler.

Being a farmers wife is not always easy but days like these make it all worth it!

I am very blessed!

Baby Zoi

August 18th the Koyle/Whittle family got just a little bit sweeter! My sister Gentry and brother in law Thomas welcomed a new baby girl into their family.

 

Zoi Joan Whittle

 

 

This baby girl couldn't get any cuter. I had to wait two whole weeks to hold her because I came down with a cold the day she was born......THE DAY! She was totally worth the wait. I never heard a single peep out of her the whole day.

 

Welcome to the family baby Zoi
