HE IS HERE!!!!!

Arlee Here - It's Official...BABY BOY McDANIEL arrived this morning! That's right, he still doesn't have a name, well as of 1:45 when I left the hospital! I think it will be decided on by this afternoon! One thing that has been decided is the first photos of the baby will not be sold to paparazzi for the next issue of People or US Weekly. LUCKY YOU!!!! :) You can find them here on the blog as soon as Danica has access to an air card (Maybe tonight when I go visit again). :) Danica is doing ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS and BBM(BABY BOY MCDaniel) is doing GREAT as well. Brad on the other hand is still trying to get used to the fact that he will be sleeping on the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE HOSPITAL bed for the next few nights. :) Although Brad does not think so right now, the baby looks EXACTLY like BRADLEY :) I took Bostyn up to see her new little brother...without...WELL ALMOST WITHOUT any hesitation, she was ready to take him home immediately! WHAT A CUTE FAMILY!!! CONGRATS MCDANIELS!!!! HE"S A KEEPER!!!

It's GO time!!!

Here I am in all my beautifulness the morning of. I didnt realize how swollen and huge I was until I look at these pics. Oh well, at least it all goes away and I get this cute little guy out of it!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

We had such a fun Halloween this year! As you can see my mom hosted a fun Halloween party, although much of our night was spent out gathering candy with the kiddies. I thought Bostyn looked so cute, and she would definitely agree. She and the mirror were best friends that night. She couldnt get over how cute she looked. We had Drew this year, which is always fun, he brings alot of holiday energy with him which makes things more exciting. We were also able to have my sisters kids here, so there was a full house. For all of you who know my mom, know she is always good for a laugh. When kids would come to the door, she had a bowl full of potatoes and onions. It was so funny to see kids reactions, and what they would choose. Brad decided last minute to dress up and went as a little kid. He said about half way through the night that he felt like a pervert and wanted to come change. I was kind of a poor sport and just drove the car because I was so huge! My grandpa dressed up as a woman to win a Halloween costume contest at work..... it worked and now he is 100.00 richer. Halloween was so much fun... I cant wait till next year so we can dress the little guy up.

Kenadi's Birthday Party

A Few More Pics of The Witches :)

All WITCHED out

We went to Gardner Village for the annual Witches Night Out. It was so much fun to be there and spend time with the fam. Bostyn even came along for the night and she had so much fun. It was fun taking pictures with all of the props, and then going in to enjoy a delicious dinner and some great Halloween entertainment. Next year I am going to see if I can get Brad to come along for the fun! I was so excited that Bostyn was able to get one more use out of her witch costume from last year because Arlee and I spent so much time on it. Nest year I am sure she will need a new one! If you havent been to this before you should totally look into it for next year.

SO BEHIND, I guess I'm tired from the shopping!

Juicy suit to wear home, my new purple runnign shoes :), The Orbit stroller and I got the bassinet and rocker, and my new petunia picklebottom diaper bag!

Okay, so I know that I have been a complete slacker. I have so many pictures to load, and so much to catch everyone up on. We have had a busy month, and so many fun things going on. For starters, the most exciting things is.... Brad got the Melchizedek priesthood. It was such an exciting day for our family. I am so happy for all of the steps he has taken to get to where he is. I dont think that the bishop knew what to think when we had over 30 people show up to be there and experience this with Brad. We also started the temple prep classes and will be ready to go in only a few weeks. It is so overwhelming but we couldnt be happier. I am so excited for our family to be eternal, and it will be so nice to know that our children (including our new little guy) will be sealed to Brad and I forever. We are both so excited!! I feel bad that we arent going sooner, but I want to wait until after the baby... you know for pictures. :)

This last week Arlee, Bostyn and I were able to go to Portland on a shopping trip. Everyone had a hard time believing I was going to go on a 2 hour plane ride with my 2 year old and shop for 3 days. It was so fun, and I of course never miss a chance to have some good sisterly time with Arlee. I kept teasing Brad that I was going to go into labor in Oregon and he of course didnt think it was too funny. He would have been on the first plane up there, whether he liked it or not. Anyway, Bostyn was such a champ and is already a professional shopper. She would pick out the cutest stuff for her and the baby and I of course couldnt tell her no. So, I have 2 favorite purchases. I got my new stroller for the baby. If any of you are Office fans, it made its debut in last nights episode, except for mine is Black. I also got me the cutest Juicy outfit to wear home from the hospital. I have put some pics up of some of the purchases. I will take some pics of Bostyn in her new stuff, with her new purse, etc and post them.

No baby yet, but anyday now. he is in a weird position, they call it back down transverse lie so I will be having another C-section. More time off work for Brad so he is excited. I am so huge I cant believe it. More than anything I am swollen, so if you see me at least I am giving you fair warning.

We also went to Witch -a-Palooza at Gardner Village the other night with a bunch of family. Bostyn had so much fun and was such a big girl. She loved all of the decorations and I got some super cute pics of her I will post soon.

Brad has been working so hard to get the house ready for the baby. Really its for me, but I need to post some pics of all of his hard work as well... BTW he is not for hire.
