So our youngest son, Bridger Pearce was born July 21, 2010. Yes, it is October and I am a slacker! He weighed 7.1 lbs and was 20 1/2 inches. He fit perfectly in between the twins, Hunter was 7.3 lbs and Ruger was 6.7 lbs. However, Bridger was the longest of all my kids. Not only was he the longest this kids feet, toes and fingers are CRAZY long! His little feet were the same length as Ryan's pointer finger! 
These pictures will soon be outdated come July 21st!! My mother in law wanted to have family pictures before some of Ryan's siblings moved away this summer, so much to my hesitation ( I hate taking pictures while I am pregnant, especially 8 months pregnant) we joined the fam and these are what we came out with. I am pretty impressed, minus myself and the big belly that I tried very hard to conceal with Hunter :)
So Sunday after church we put the boys down to nap just like we do every day. Well Hunter has mastered getting out of his crib with ease. Unfortunately after watching Hunter, Ruger decided to give it a try. Of course the first time resulted in our first broken arm! After spending 2 1/2 hours in the ER he was put into a splint and we were told to see Dr. Woods, the Orthopedic Surgeon, the next day to make sure everything was okay and to be casted.
After a rough night we saw Dr. Woods Monday afternoon. He double checked the x-rays and said it was a nice clean break so NO surgery...YEAH!!! The Doc casted him just below the shoulder and sent us on our way. Mom will have to endure the next 4 weeks and this too shall pass!
Ruger has been such a good little boy. I have been very impressed with his pain tolerance and patience for that matter of being poked and prodded. He is still my happy little boy that is adapting to using his left hand very well. We have ALL learned our lessons, Ryan and I bought 2 toddler beds yesterday and now are trying to teach the boys how to sleep in those. It has been a rough couple of nights, but it is bound to get better, right? 
HIP HIP HOORAY FOR BROWNIES!!
Ems new favorite activity...ice fishing. Her Dad introduced her to this past time last week and that is all she wants to do. I am amazed at how much she loves this and how excited she gets when they get to go. Ryan says she does very well and in fact tells him what to use to catch the fish and so far it has worked!
Marker Boy!! This little stinker LOVES any type of writing utensil he can get his hands on. However, instead of using paper he immediately lifts up his shirt and uses his belly as his masterpiece! Nothing else which is a good thing I guess since I am not having to invest in the Magic Eraser. Each time (which has been several) Hunter is very proud of his creation! Love him!
The joy of bubbles! Another simply activity that produced plenty of giggles. The boys were a little hesitant at first, but it didn't take long before they were chasing every bubble. Ah the joy!
Well I have learned that my children (especially the boys) love to "help" around the house. Every time I break out the vacuum cleaner it is a fight to see who gets to help mom. It first started with wanting to help Grandma do the dishes. A few days later I was not surprised when they wanted to help Grandma clean out the freezer. Although helping did not last long Ruger thought it was best to sit and make sure Grandma got the job done right! I hope they continue to enjoy helping! Ha!
Emily could not wait until there was enough snow to go sledding. I was beginning to worry that this simple yet very fun activity was not going to happen. She absolutely loves it especially when she has her cousin Maddi to enjoy the festivities with her! They were so much fun to watch.
