Big Day for Brodie

Friday was a pretty big day for Brodie, he got to meet some of the family. Grandpa Ron & Grandma Joan stopped in to see the latest grandchild. I was a little worried when mom was holding him, after all I'm sure she must've dropped Wade when he was a baby, but she did all right!!
Grandpa Hoss & Grandma Jan stopped by too, pretty sure they think their new grandson is a keeper.
Uncle Jeff, Auntie Kristi, and cousins Aidyn & Nolan also dropped by. I didn't think I was ever going to get to hold my son again after Aidyn got him in her lap!! She loved holding him and giving him lots of "sugar" !!! Sure was fun to see how excited she was over her baby cousin!!
Nolan even decided he wanted to hold Brodie, which I think made Kristi a little nervous. He did such a great job and it must've been very hard for him because I have never seen him sit so still for that long!! I don't know how I failed to get pictures of Grandpa Ron, Jeff & Kristi holding him, but I'm going to go ahead and blame it on sleep deprivation!!

Saturday was another big day for all of us, because we got to bring our little bundle of joy home!! It was very exciting for us all, I'm pretty sure that it was the safest I have driven in my entire life. Everyone is doing very well, Lisa is very sore and moving kinda slow but after 18 hours of labor and a C-section I think she is doing better than most people would be. I know I will never ever be able to tease her about not being a tough chic ever again after all that. But you all will have to ask her about trying to con me into believing that she couldn't change a diaper for six weeks since she had surgery!! Brodie is doing just great, and we are trying to get used to his feeding schedule, and the lack of sleep, but we are loving every moment of it!!

The Best Christmas Present

On Christmas day, Lisa and I got the best Christmas present we could hope for!! Introducing our son, Brodie Evan Trapp. I just came home for a few minutes to put this on the blog & take care of the dogs....so I don't have much time. I'm sure there will be alot more pictures in the near future. Oh i better tell you all that he weighed 7lbs 11oz and is 20 inches long. And of course I think he is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen , and I'm not at all biased in my opinion either!!!! Well now its time for me to get back to my wife and son.

Ok...here's something really funny to watch! My sis-in-law and brother started this and now you can see Cody and I dancing as elves! Vote for who you think is best!!!

Good bye Jess

Last week was a pretty tough week for us, we had to say good bye to Jess. She was my faithful companion, friend, therapist, comedian, and travelling partner for 13 years. She had been staying with my mom and dad til we found a place in the country. Last week they called and said she was sick and the vet didn't think it was very good, but they wanted to do exploratory surgery to find out. Well I guess God must have needed a good dog because the results from the surgery were not good at all, and we didn't want her to suffer any more, so we had to say good bye. I have had her since she was a pup, and she used to love traveling to rodeos with me. Her absolute favorite thing was riding horse. She just loved to follow those dang horses until she was ready to drop, and you could never get the horse saddled fast enough to suit her. As a matter of fact I took her out to the horses the day before she had surgery, and you couldn't even tell she was sick. She will forever be in our hearts and is dearly missed. I would like to say a special thank you to Aidyn for the beautiful picture and note she colored for me. It really meant a lot to me.

Baby Poll

Just a reminder to click and add your guesses for weight, length, date of birth etc...for baby Trapp!!!! Time is running out!!

37 weeks

We are at 37 weeks this week! I can't believe how fast the time has gone so far! If baby Trapp would arrive now, he or she would be considered full term. So I am relieved to be this far along. Everything is looking good. We are being told baby is big! Hopefully not toooooooo big! Haha!

We are so excited to meet baby Trapp!

We had a great time eating, opening gifts, visiting, playing and spending quality time together! We are so thankful for our wonderful families and each enjoying our new ones! We look forward to adding baby to ours soon!!

Celebrating Christmas

We celebrated Christmas early this past Saturday with my family. We have to be within 1 hour of the hospital this close to our due date, so my folks and my brother and his family joined us in Litchfield. This was the best pic out of 3 with the timer!

Job

We are happy to announce that Cody was offered a job with Dish Network and his first day was today. We are so relieved! Thanks for your prayers!

Work Christmas Party

Hello everyone. Cody and I enjoyed my hospital Christmas party on December 8th. We tried to take pictures of the skit I was in, (Santa Baby), but it was just too dark to see! So the only picture we got is us all dressed up. We had a nice time visiting, eating and slow dancing.....I emphasize slow!
