Little boy Yellow!

May 2009

Well as always not long after going home it panned out that the little Ryan's jaundice levels were high enough that he required photo therapy. Here are a few pictures of him on the lights. Not the 2 most exciting days and nights, but he's all better now!

Hi little guy!

Isn't he precious!

Our little machines & baby!

Welcome little Ryan!

May 20,2009

Today little Ryan was born. Weighing 8 lbs 6 & 1/2 oz and 20 inches long. We are all so excited for him to be here.

About 20 min old. He swallowed some of the amniotic fluid so he had to be on oxygen for a little while.

Little Ryan. Actually he has been our biggest baby so far by 2 lbs. I kept telling everyone I felt so much bigger and no one believed me. I was right!

Our new little family! His brother and sisters are so excited he was here!

Cute baby!

I love this picture of him cuddling on my shoulder. I love this about newborns!

sleeping peacefully. (sorry it's sideways)!

Alta View hospital is sure working hard at keeping their patients. They do a dinner for 2 the night before you go home. It was so nice flowers, steak the works. I felt like I was at a nice restaurant. They also gave me a nice bathrobe too.

baby Ryan 3 days old!

Another soccer season for Justin!

May 2009

Justin is playing soccer once again and loving it! He shows such enthusiasm and excitement when playing. He has scored numerous goals already. Rob is the coach of his team of 12 once again. Justin is #6.

Coming out for a rest!

Rob giving the kids a drink of water on a really hot day!
Sometimes they got more than a drink but a little shower too. They didn't mind it was sure hot. Many actually requested it.

Camping out back!

May 2009

So Rob had been promising the kids that they would go camping before the baby came and while Justin was off track etc. for a few weeks but due to bad weather he never made it up the mountain. So this Friday he and the kids decided to have a little camp out in our very own backyard. They were so excited too. Justin's only complaint the next morning was that Katie fell asleep too fast. Otherwise the microwave smores and late night flashlight outdoor fun was well worth it!

From dirty to clean!

May 2009

Well today my kids had a LOT of fun playing in the dirt. Rob is digging an area out in back for a sandbox but now it is a muddy pond. Of course it's also our kids favorite place to play unfortunately. Today Megan really got the brunt of the mess! It's good to know they can clean up well too!

Megan, not too bad is it?
Mud was stuck to her hair you could hardly see her head!

yuck!

Random but cute pic I had of my kids. See they do clean up well.

Geocashing!

April 2009

For Rob's birthday he got a GPS so for FHE this night after our lesson etc for our activity we took the kids on a geocash. There are several really close in our neighborhood.

Rob showing the kids the GPS so they knew where to go!

We found it, this one was really small and it rolled out with the names of all the previous finders too bad we forgot a pen. Oh Well it was still fun to search for! And the kids had a great time!

Katie Dance!

April 2009

sorry I forgot these pics. Katie looked so cute at her dance parent evaluation day! It is so fun to see all these little 3-4 year olds dancing away!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mothers Day

What a fun day visiting grandmas, and fun with the kids.

Not my best photo, if you can't tell I am so ready to have this baby in 3 days! Love you kiddos though! Thanks for making my job as a mom so fun and enjoyable you are all great kids.

I got these beautiful flowers for mothers day! And the "LEMON" as Katie called it. (Watermelon) I wanted a pineapple but he couldn't find one so I got the other instead and that was good too!

Katie with her finished stepping stone. For mothers day this year the kids made stepping stones for their grandmas and mom. They turned out so great too!
