Rachael Elizabeth is finally here...

My sister Shannon had her 4th baby today on

Eli's 10th birthday! In the same hospital he was born in!

YEAH! Doesn't she look Great!

Pretty Mamma!

Shannon and Bekah waiting to go in for a planned C-section.

Rebekah thought this sign in her mommy's room was

hilarious! Counting babies Pee & Poop diapers is kinda funny!

Here's Jed all suited up and ready to go.

I asked Michael, "What's Daddy wearing?"

Michael thought, and said,

"He's in his Baptism clothes!"

Classic.

Here she is weighing in at 6 lbs. 8 ozs.

She had a lot of visitors. Grandma & Grandpa's,

uncle's, aunt's, cousins, sister, and brothers!

Thank goodness they didn't kick us out!

Looking through the glass at Rachael and her daddy!

Here's some video of her sweet little cry!

Ok one more video...Rebekah humming to Rachael

her new little sister. She was trying to make her not cry!

So nice Bekah boo!

More pictures to come I'm sure!

Happy Birthday Eli.......

to be continued!

Easter Sunday 2009

Happy Easter!

Madi & Natalie


Can you believe it?? A family picture!
We used the timer and everything!
What a gorgeous day!

I love Spring!
~Eli, Madison, Abram & Natalie~

Natalie and Roxanne blowing & catching bubbles!

Easter Saturday......

Who doesn't have Easter Saturday?...

With church on Sunday we do the Egg hunting on Saturday!

While the men were putting in new floors in Grandma & Grandpa's

house the kids played wiffle ball in the backyard!

It was a beautiful day!

Uncle Jed, Uncle Matthew, and Aaron always have fun

hiding the eggs for the Hunt!

Sometimes they are so good we don't find

them until next year!

This ended up being the hardest one to find.

You can see it above Abram's head to the left. We even

told the kids "It's in the tree and it's yellow!"

Madison, Suzanne, and Bekah...on the Hunt!

Michael did a good job of finding this one!

Rebekah and her mommy!

Such a cute picture of my prego sister!

Only 10 more days! WHoo..Hoo!

Awe...a little baby newt! Michael found this one!

~Spring Break 2009~

The California Academy of Science's in S.F.

We took a day and went to this awesome place!

Lot's of cool things to see and explore.

I guess I forgot to tell Aaron that we were

going here instead of the Exploritorium! Whoops!?

He found out when we were parked and getting out! HA!

It all worked out. Just shows how bad we communicate!

In the rain forest with the Gumm family!

Racing down the hill outside!

3D Bug movie!

Interesting story line?? (Spoiler alert, if you care?!)

First they introduce you to two bugs, name them,

and then one ends up eating the other!

A little girl came out crying at the end, no actually, Bawling!

Yes, lucky me a butterfly landed on my hat!

There are tunnels that you can walk under the fish in

the Aquarium! You have to check out the Octopus!

All the kids had fun but, boy was it crowded!

They had to make people wait until others left before letting more people in!

I suggest you get there early!

We left and ate dinner across the street.

Abram decided walk ahead of us across the street, only a

little too slow and got stuck in the center! After I yelled to him

not to move, we all laughed at his sense of direction!

Mckenzie & Madison checking out the albino alligator!

My kids are such monsters sometimes! You

probably wouldn't believe me if I told you that they were

being so annoying before I took this picture!

The Holland Tulip Garden @

San Francisco Golden Gate Park

The Golden Gate Bridge!

Who can go there without a picture!

Natalie was being so funny! She was making

us all crack up! Silly Girl!

****

Earlier in the week...

The kids had a great time bowling! Natalie and

Kaitlin had a blast and did almost just as well as the

older kids!!

These girls love each other!

Spring and Things...

Suzanne my niece stayed with us for a week while

her parents were in Hawaii! Lucky!

I met my mom to make the transfer.

She had Michael my nephew so we had lunch at

In and Out in Davis!

Suzanne & Michael are only a couple months apart!

They are cute cousins together!

Spring Break...The Girls and I went
Out to lunch with Dad!
We went to Chevy's on the River and fed the
Geese our left over tortillas!

Then of course on to the mall to do a little shopping!

What else would you do with girls!?!!

Abram got April Fooled!...

"Abram, go put some deodorant on Right NOW!"...

Little did he know, Aaron and Eli had rolled down his

deodorant, then put cream cheese on the top!

WA~LA..... you have one very confused 14 year old!?!

Aaron & Eli then showed up after the fooling happened!

"Abram, go get a Bagel and clean it up!"

I'm not sure what's funnier, the joke

or my laugh! That too is embarrassing!
