Our first family picture

Cousin Koen was so excited to finally hold his buddy.My kids were so excited when he came home and they saw him in a stocking. We have had the best Christmas this year. Words cannot describe the joy I feel to have this new special baby join our family. He is very special!! I am grateful for my Heavenly Father for sending him to us. What a perfect gift to receive for Christmas!!!

Labor and Delivery

This time I had to be induced. When I got there I was already at a 4 and 80% Effaced. They started me at 11:15 pm and at 6:00 am It was time to push and I had him at 6:10. Not too bad of a labor. Apparently the scales were wrong. It says he weighed 7 lbs 9 ounces. But the next day at the nursery he weighed 8 lbs 1 ounce.

Christmas Sunday

My last day of being pregnant.

Halloween

This Fall has been so beautiful and I think that makes Halloween even better. The kids had a great time this year. They loved going Trick or Treating with Daddy around the neighborhood. Parker was a GI Joe and Tandi was an Angel. I love checking on my kids after they go to sleep. Tandi was sleeping so peaceful and it looked like she was praying.

Parker had crazy hair day at school! I think he kind of looked like wolverine or Heath said the mayor from the "Grinch that stole Christmas."

This last weekend we had a shower for Jessica. We decided we better take a picture of us before Jessica has her baby. This is a pretty unique circumstance to have all three of us pregnant at the same time and due within a month of each other. These cousins will have a good time growing up together.

Parker's Happy Birthday

I can't believe my baby boy is 6! He is growing up way too fast. He loves Lego's, so I decided to throw him a Lego Party. He got to pick 6 friends to invite and I found some games they could play. The cake was pretty hard to make, so don't look too close. I was frosting it as the boys were showing up. The cutest little girls ever.They first played for a bit. Then we had a contest to see you could build the tallest tower in under three minutes.The tallest tower winners.
They also played pin the dot on the lego.



Then they had a lego hunt in the backyard.




We also had another B-Day party for Parker and Uncle Nate. It was good company and yummy cake (which I did not make, but it was well worth the money).
