Alita update

Everyone has started. After 2 other kids I should be used to this by now, but I do not know who she looks like. I think she looks more like this guy than either Abby or I.

Oh My Goodness There She Is!!!!!!






Abby had a late term ultrasound yesterday to check and make sure Alita isn't growing out of control like her brothers did. The good news is she is approximately 6.5 lbs which is the high side of normal for her gestational age (36 weeks).


John and I had an unexpected treat with this ultrasound, 3D photos! Here are some of the best. She likes to put her hands in front of her face that little stinker but we did get two good ones of her face. I can't believe how far technology has come!


We will keep you posted!

Visit with a Good Friend



Here are pictures from the Washington trip when we visited with my friend Anita and her family.

Pictures from the Washington Trip








Trip to Washington

I have been meaning to post this stuff since we got back! At the end of January Jesse, Joshua and I (abby) went to Washington state to visit Grandpa Steve (abby's dad) and Great-Grandma Dorris (abby's grandma). The live in a small town called Port Townsand, located in the very Northwestern part of the state. On a clear day you can see parts of Canada. It was a great trip. It was quite cold for our thin desert blood but still enjoyable. Here are some of the highlights:

  • The boys loved going on the first airplane ride that either of them could remember.
  • More than the plane the boys loved the ferry ride from Seattle!
  • Grandpa took us to the park and let the boys walk his dog, Dundee.
  • Great-Grandma Dorris took us to a 50's diner where the boys got ate yummy hamburgers, drank soda from a real soda fountain and got to put quarters in the jukebox.
  • The boys got to see the ocean for the first time. Way to cold to swim, but they had a blast just the same!
  • We spent one day in Seattle. We went to the Zoo. They have a great zoo! I highly recommend it if you are ever in the area.
  • While we were in Seattle, I also got to see one of my very good friends from college, Anita. We had dinner and her house and her girls got to meet my boys.

The only thing that would have made the trip better is if John could have come with us. Well, next time!
