The other night we had our friends, the Bartlett's, over for fun. Justin brought his new Wii game, "Guitar Hero". While we were playing, he said the funniest thing, "look at us, some geeky grad students rockin' out to guitar hero." It hit me at that moment that maybe even as adult graduate students we can still have some fun. So here is an "Ode to Fun!"
Megan's first time playing, a little apprehensive!

Well, my mom came and helped out for a week while Phil and I adjusted to life with a new baby. Coleman and Grammy became good buds. I don't know what we would have done without her. She was so helpful. I loved having that extra set of hands. I thought when she left I would be able to fly solo, but Teegan had other intentions. That first night after Grammy left, Teegan decided to stay up almost all night long. I couldn't ask for help from Phil because he had his clinicals the next day. Needless to say, when Phil left the house at 5:30 am, his wife had tears streaking down her face. All of my older sisters have two kids, and I don't know how they did it, and kept their sanity! I guess I just need to take my mom's advice and just live life one day at a time!
Teegan in his fisherman's hat!
Teegan has a few faces that he pulls that we have started to name. There is "the Elvis", "the scowl", and "the pout". This is obviously "the pout". I'll try to get pictures of the others.
A couple nights ago, they had a kid fair/carnival and Coleman definitely needed some outside time, so we went! Coleman didn't really care much for the kid crafts that we made together, but he absolutely loved the spray park!
So I made this Apron for my mom for her Birthday (which was like two weeks ago), but it arrived at her house the day she flew out to Grand Forks to help with Teegan. So she didn't get to open her present until just a couple days ago, so now I can finally post this picture. I told Ashley I would put this up on the blog, so here you go! 
A Quick Update:
We were able to come home from the hospital on tuesday evening, which was really nice. I swear there is something about that first night. We didn't get much sleep and that was really interesting for class on Wednesday, but it went alright. Last night Teegan finally decided to sleep well. I held him on my lap in the recliner and we slept until 3:15 and then he ate and slept in until 8:30. Megan thinks that heavenly father blessed us so we don't fall apart at the seams. We are doing well and here are a few pic's for those who are waiting for them (Amber)!!! We love you all!
Grammy Mott is always surprising us with cute signs. I think I've actually spoken more to my neighbors this last week than since we've lived here.
Ok, so for those of us who do not have more than one kid, the size difference is amazing. Coleman is big for his age, but 30+ lbs vs. 6 lbs is incredible. So we like to call this next pic "David and Goliath". And sometimes it seems that way when you are trying to keep Coleman off Teegan.
Coleman always has to be where his younger brother is. We taught Coleman to be soft, so he pats his head and says sofff and then kisses his head until we peel him off by brute force.
This is his first bath at home. Which I forgot, babies hate being naked and taking baths, good exercise for the lungs though!

Well, for those of you who don't know, and those of you who we couldn't call (Sorry!), we had our little baby boy last night. His stats are 6 lb 13 oz, 20 and 1/2 inches long and he was born at 11:42 PM (Yes on fathers day!). He is perfect and we couldn't be more blessed. The funny thing is the story behind the labor.
Megan started having contractions on Friday which were quite inconsistent. They lasted until Sunday, at about 3 pm, when they got really bad. We assumed that they would go away like all of the other times. We were going to have the missionaries come over for dinner at 5 PM, so we started dinner. Megan tried to help with the contractions and all, but around 4:30 we decided we had better get to the hospital. So we called our friends (the Bartlett's and Kyler Erhard) and they came over and fed the missionaries and took Coleman for the night. THANK YOU!!! When we got to the hospital they made us walk around for a while, which did the trick. She got her epidural around 7:30 and was in heaven. The baby decided to come at 11:42 with one push and was delivered by the nurse. He moved around so much he had the cord around his neck 3 times. But everything was fine after they cut the cord. Anyway we are glad he is here, even though it was 2 weeks early. We'll keep you posted as the news breaks!!!
Teegan just after birth!

Proof that there is some blonde hair there!
I would like to send a "SHOUT OUT" to my smokin' hot wife. She got the, I'm pregnant and not pretty bug yesterday. I told her she ought to go get her hair cut. She had said she liked this haircut she saw on So You Think You Can Dance. So she printed off the picture on the web site and this is what you get!!!
If you haven't seen her lately she just cut off 6-7 inches. Pretty Drastic!
She thinks it's too blond, but I think it is absolutely georgeous.
Oh, and before anyone asks, her OB has her hair dyed as well! So yes, our son will still be a rocket scientist!
Here is the obligatory pic of our son! Megan wanted it b/c she said that we matched.
Oh and for anyone who cares, I took my last test a couple of days ago!!! I will be in the hospital full-time on June 24th!
I was glancing at my blog, and I noticed on my countdown for my brother, Cameron, that he only has 100 days left on his mission. Right now he is serving in the Taiwan, Taichung Mission, speaking Mandarin Chinese. I just wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate what he is doing. Every week he sends an email out to the family and he always tries to share with us an inspirational message of something he learned through the week. He constantly has a good attitude about teaching the gospel and serving the Lord. Good job Elder Cam! We are so proud of your service. We love you and miss you tons!
We have so enjoyed the beautiful weather we have had lately! Except of course, today it is dreary and wet. But overall, it has been so nice to go outside each day. I forgot how much I enjoyed living here before the forver on-going winter showed up. Too bad the beauty only lasts 3-4 months of the year! On Sunday, we went for a walk on the Greenway (down by the river) and it was so gorgeous. The trees are just really popping out with their beautiful blossoms. This of course, has brought on allergies like crazy for Phil. If anyone is offering free hand-outs of Allegra D, I know someone with an out-streched hand! 
Coleman and I on top of the berm! Look at the view, so pretty! :)
Other than enjoying the weather, not too much is going on around here. We are getting very excited for the new addition to join our family. Right now, I am scheduled to be induced three weeks from today! Yay and Yikes at the same time! I am feeling very large and in charge, but at the same time, I am having crazy anxiety about labor and delivery. Why can't a stork just drop a baby off at the door? I like that idea a lot better! :)
