Our little squirt is here!!!
If deliveries have anything to do with personalities we are in trouble cause Tyson is going to be a stinker with a capital T!! I went in Thursday morning to be induced, got there and the doctor came right in to break my water but I had no water to break (it's still a mystery as to what happened to it). Anyway they started my contractions but every time I had one Tyson's heart rate would drop and wouldn't come back up in a timely manner, which made everyone very uncomfortable. Pretty soon I had a different doctor and many nurses in my room trying to figure out what was going on. They stopped my contractions and started pumping my uterus full of fluids to see if that would help, it did, thank goodness, or an emergency c-section would have been the next step. After 2 hours of fluids they started my contractions again slowly to see how he would react and then got everything rolling. By the time I was ready to push I pushed for about 10 minutes and he was out. While I was pushing his heart rate was low as well and when he came out we saw why...the cord was wrapped around his neck 4 times and it had a true knot in it! Dr. said he might be such a little squirt cause he wasn't getting all those Carls Jr. hamburgers I was eating for him because of the dang knot but he is healthy and happy and eating like his daddy all ready!! He snorts a lot but I'm all about that!! He has daddy's nose and daddy's toes but looks a lot like Jaxton did as a newborn and the best thing is I didn't tear or have to get an episiotomy so I am in love with that little small head of his!
Getting ready to go home
Welcome to this crazy family little guy! We are so glad you are here.

Proms to remember...
Here is a picture of us before the dance trying to act like acquaintances rather than boyfriend and girlfriend.
Here is that same picture in my scrapbook with Jerry cut out so I could be closer to Bowdy. We were a much cuter couple, you have to admit. You can totally see the cut out line around his head, now that's funny stuff!
In my journal I talk about how hard it was for us to be there but not with each other, like end of the world hard! When I went to the bathroom Bowdy followed me just so we could hug each other. We were both glad to see that night end, it was torture but good times all in one.
I was in the Prom Royalty, I'm not wearing the crown as a self proclaimed princess I swear! This was pretty much the perfect Prom though, I must say.
Bowdy was not a fan of up-do's if you are wondering about the hair being down, he was totally OK with the bangs though!
Here are most of my friends, with their up-do's
Union High Prom 1998
Other than this background, this Prom was pretty fabulous as well!
Here are my Roosevelt besties Tammy and April. Oh and don't even worry that I wore my dresses multiple times, that was a perk with dating someone that lived 2 hours away!
Lone Peak Prom 1998
This is one of my best friends BJ and yes, I am like a lot taller than him even without heels and yes, my cheeks are really chubby (that's what happened when I was broken up with Bowdy) and yes, those are ringlets on the side of my head. Forgive me for looking like this at your Prom Beej, I'm so sorry.
Timpview Senior Ball 1998
This is one of my best friends Chris who was the one that I didn't talk to for months (alright maybe just weeks) because he pinched my butt our Senior year!! I guess I forgave him and he is still one of my best chums.
Hooray for Spring Time and Memories!!!

It's Official...
I know it wasn't ever a name in the polls (sorry about that) but it has special significance to me because I had a stillborn brother who's name was Tyson. And there are lots of options here Tyson, Ty or TJ so I'll never get bored with it.

5 years ago today...

5 years ago today Daniel was in Sports Illustrated magazine, more than once. He was also picked as the Best Wing Defender in the Final Four and on the All GQ team, go Wheetie!!

5 years ago today my family (Mom, Dad, Kristi, Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle Ricky) rolled up to our San Antonio hotel in a grey Astro Van! I will forever kick myself in the hind end for not getting a picture of all of us with that beauty. Every single time I drove it I hit the exact same corner coming out of our hotel, no matter how hard I tried to miss it. Good times!!!
5 years ago today Jaxton wasn't even 2...He looked like this and he carried this flag around with him at all times. He was daddy's biggest fan!!!
5 years ago "Cool Chicks Wear Orange" was born and was all the rage! Kristi and I were just as famous as the boys on the team doing the Horse Dance for all of the fans, taking pictures with people from all over the country, doing television, newspaper and radio interviews of our own and signing autographs on the same basketballs as the other players. That was the life!!!
Five years ago today life was one exciting experience after another. I am so thankful that I got to share that excitement with Daniel and my family and for the memories we have to hold onto one March Madness after another. Life has been very good to us!!!

Have fun in Detroit Daniel, I wish I was there with you.
