Ayres and The Three Bears

When Cohen was "in womb" Cody and I went on a little trip to KC. While we were there, we decided to build the baby (did not know it was a Cohen) a bear at Build a bear. It was the baby's first stuffed animal and it also was created by us with love:) Well when Miayla was in womb, we let Cohen build it (we didn't know it was a Miayla) a bear so the baby had it's own first stuffed animal. Obviously you can see where this is going......yep, back to Build a Bear for another bear to be built for the baby that we don't what it is except that it too, like everything else, was created out of love. The kiddos decided to build a polar bear since the baby was going to be born in winter.....they plan on bringing it to the hospital with them when they come to meet "it" for the first time. Which I hope is very soon.




Let the process begin...I think Miayla was checking out all the questionable characters at the mall that day:)












Aw, a white polar bear..PERFECT


























Stuffing the Bear.
I LOVE this picture b/c if you look at their hands, they are holding each other...













fluff, fluff












Warming the hearts and making wishes for the baby.....while jumping up and down five times












questioning the whole bath thing....














Cody showing them how it's done...he is an expert by now;)











"whoa, this is cool"












Joe, the bear that Cody and I built for our first child, Cohen David:)












Dos, the bear Cody, Cohen, and I built for our second child, Miayla Renee:)









And introducing...Leroy Thomas, the bear that Cohen, Miayla, Cody and I built for our third child.......

(the kids really want to name the baby Thomas, (after the train) Cody argues with them that it's name will be Leroy fudpucker...now though, I explained to all of them , that we can't have two of the same name in the family so both names are out..darn;)








The kiddos decided to do a Santa hat, diaper, and bib that read "Baby's first Christmas"


















All three of the bears:)










LOVE this picture and this " happy family togetherness" is why I am confident, God-willing, we will build more bears:)
