Today

Today after a short 4 hour labor baby came at 5:11 AM weighing in at 8 pounds 2 ounces. Baby and Mom are both in good health and feeling great. More pictures and info to come soon.

Almost

I'm so anxious for this little one to come. This is the week, the last week of this pregnancy and I'm hoping it doesn't last until Saturday. Her bed is ready, her clothes are ready, I finally got her some diapers, and my body is definitely ready. The kids sat and talked to her today giving her hugs and kisses and telling her that it's time to come now. Wes told her not to be scared and that he was excited for her to be in our family. He asks me every hour if she is coming now and if he can go to Rose's house now. I am ready to meet her and to hold her little body.

Conference

I thought it would be a good idea to let the kids paint while we listened to conference. It turned out to be even more of a distraction and mess, especially when the kids started dumping their paint and throwing their paint brushes at the wall. But it was really fun for a little while.

Celebrating Baby

Rose organized a casual little baby shower while we were in Chicago for all of us pregnant ladies, it was fun to hang out and talk about all these sweet little babies to come. Emily made a lemon basil cake, and it was to die for, so yummy! We had another little dessert night get together here in Utah with just us girls, we had fun eating giant sundae's and hanging out without our kids. Thanks to everyone who was a part of these fun parties!

These are the only pictures I managed to get:

Chicago

While my Mom and Beth were here we spent some time shopping and went into Chicago to see the Buckingham Fountains. Oh man, it was so hot and humid, but we had tons of fun together!

Wes and Mae started wrestling for fun this summer. Really Wes would lay on the ground while Mae sat on him and rolled on him until he couldn't hold still any more and then he would try to wrestle her, and she usually ended up crying. It was hilarious to watch.

Back it up

I finally have a chance to hijack John's computer and finish my posts from this summer

My Mom and Beth came to visit us and play in Chicago, it was one of my favorite parts of the summer. We also happened to straighten Mae's hair while they were here, she looks like a different person!
