More pictures.

Eat, Sleep and Poop that's all I do (not me Andrew)!!  I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get pictures posted. I forgot what it is like to have a newborn, so I am slowly getting back into the swing of things. Andrew has brightened and blessed all of our lives. He is such a joy and I can't wait till he starts interacting with us. He tries to tell us stories already and his smile is so precious, (we can't get him to smile when we have the camera though). Enjoy the pictures as he is starting to change a little bit.

Meet Andrew!!!

Meet our newest addition to our family. His name is Andrew Craig. He was born on Wednesday July 15th 2009 at 5:46 pm, he weighed 6 lbs 10 oz.

As I said earlier in the last blog, I had to go to the doctor Wednesday for another ultrasound to see if he was still breech and because the tech thought she saw the placenta again. So I went to my appointment and the ultrasound showed the baby had turned head down but the cord was in between the cervix and the baby's head. My doctor decided he didn't want me to go in to labor so later that day he did the c-section. Which ended up being the best because the umbilical cord had three knots tied in it. If I had gone any longer he might not be with us now. I am so glad that he is here and healthy. He has brought so much joy to us. We love him so much and the kids want to hold him all the time. We love you so much little buddy!

VACATION!!!

and a short one at that. This year we weren't able to take a very long vacation to Utah to visit family and friends so if we missed you we are truly very sorry. Do to being very pregnant we had to get back here to have a baby (he thinks otherwise). I went to the doctor Monday and he is still breech, no dilation (37 weeks), and the ultrasound tech thinks that the placenta previa I had earlier in the pregnancy, is still there. So I go back tomorrow for a second opinion and if they think it's the same Friday is the day. But other than that we had a wonderful time. I am going to sum it up all in one entry so enjoy all the pictures and I won't try to bore you!!

One of the reasons we made sure that we went back this year was for the Kearl Reunion. It was Clark's family's turn to plan and host it. This year they had it at their property up in Idaho. It was a lot of fun and his Mother and sister's did a great job planning it. I thought I would put a picture of the four Kearl Sister's.

4-Wheeling...You know us we can't go to the mountain's without taking a 4-wheeler trip, notice no me. That was the hardest thing to do, was to watch them go without me. I love to go on the rides. Especially when they go to find snow to go through. The first trip they went shooting but the second they went to find snow. Yes it is June 29th and they still found some snow to play in. It has been a little chillier there then normal for the season. They had a blast!!

The group that went!!

Uncle Alan and RyanWaiting for there turns to go through the snow. Ryan, Sarah, Emma and Clark. We made it to the top!!!

Horseshoes...

The men like to get together and play horseshoes, even the younger ones are starting to play.

I had just gotten over to the horseshoe pit when Clark threw a ringer and I actually got it on camera, his second throw missed but I got it landing. Way to go Clark!!

Lagoon...
We also can't go to Utah without taking the kids to Lagoon. It is a day they get to spend with their cousins. We had a big group this time, I think there was a total of thirteen kids out of four families. But they had fun and they didn't want to leave when it was closing. It was such a nice day no humidity and it started to rain as the park was closing. The nice thing about the rain there is it cools the temperature, so for me it felt wonderful. Here it just gets more humid with the rain.

We made Emma get on a roller coaster that she wasn't too sure about, dad had to bribe her with a BIG TREAT if she did. She did it and she loved it and went on it again. Her cousin Reagan and Aunt were in the seats behind her. (Reagan is the same age and loved it too!!)

There were so many kids that they couldn't all fit in one boat so they divided up and they even got their Aunt Liz to go with them. I think they ended up going on the rapids three times.

Our family mascots, Clark and Audrey! If you know the family that is their grandparents names .

Acting Goofy!! Nick, Emma, Reagan and Ally

We have had a wonderful summer so far, and what will make it better is having a new addition to our family here soon. We will keep you posted when that happens, so keep checking and I hope your summers are going great also!!!

Ryan's Had A Birthday, Hip Hip Horray!!!

Ryan celebrated his 10th birthday on June 28th. He was so excited for his birthday not just because he was turning 10 but we had gone to Utah to visit family. It was a very short trip compared to the last couple of years, but we/he had a fun time. This year Ryan chose to go to breakfast at Jeremiah's instead of dinner for his birthday. Jeremiah's is the place to go when you are in Ogden for breakfast, they have such an awesome breakfast, I don't think that we have ever finished our food yet. Here are some pictures of Ryan through the years ( or what digital prints I have).
