Carter Jack

Carter Jack was born on 5/16 at 8:16am. 7lbs 13oz 20in. He is perfect, with cute long, but thin blond hair. Labor was only a total, start to finish, of 3 1/2 hours. Woke up at 4:40am with a very strong contraction, the next one was 10 minutes later, then the next at 9, and then 8, 7, and 6. Based on their very rapid progression and the pain level, we went in! Good thing we did! haha! Was a 3 1/2-4 when I arrived, and then about an hour and a half later 5cm, then went VERY quickly to a 10! Two minutes of pushing and he was here! We are so blessed he is well and that the labor/delivery went so well! Could not possibly have gone better! Cute little guy!!

Halle Shay

This is halle preparing for the baby! She seems to think the cradle is for her . . . Hmmm!

Snowman Fun

I . . . am . . . a . . . robot!!!

Landon really wanted to built a robot out of boxes like Curious George did, so this is what we made! I think he was pretty happy with the results.

Hawaii :)

Ok, so I know we went to Hawaii 8 months ago, but I just got these pictures from sister Beth and was reminded how AMAZING this trip was!! What a great experience, so I thought I'd share it!!

Landon's life-size robot!

Landon was very excited about his lego robot! Pretty sure that day he marched around stiffly saying in a jagged voice, "I . . . am . . . a . . . robot . . . . . . . . . I . . . am . . . a . . . robot!"

Snuggly Buggly Boo!

Because why wouldn't you climb up on the
counter, lay down, and snuggle with the
kitchen towel?!?!?!?!?!?!

Just a little update. Steve got a new job a few weeks ago, which we were ecstatic about!!!! He's going to be making much more money, and putting in about 25 hours less a week! It was a miraculous blessing and we are very excited! He spent 4 1/2 days in St. Louis the week before Christmas doing training, and then just got home today from Nashville where he was for 6 days doing more training and getting all set up. He officially started work today. We are so excited for this new phase for Steve and the opportunities it holds! Go Steve!

Here's baby boy! Due May 22nd. Not really a great picture, but better than nothing, right?!? I am getting soooo excited to meet this little man! Pregnancy is going well, no big complaints. Love him already! I count my blessings every day . . . there are so many!

Halle

Well, haven't had a picture of Halle on here for a few months, so here you go! It's actually several months old, but hey, at least it's here! haha

Glasses!

Well, here is Landon in his new glasses. Poor little guy has horrible eyes and we never even knew it! Anyway, life is life, and he's stuck in glasses for life! Good thing he's so cute!!

Halloween Fun

Well, we had a fun Halloween, nothing too exciting! Friends Melanie and Jayden came up for the evening and we went to the city trick-or-treat thing, then ate dinner, then went out trick-or-treating in the neighborhood for a bit. Landon doesn't know he got jipped in the candy department! ;) haha! It was fun. Poor Halle, though, of course, was terrified of all the Halloween creatures the lurked about!

A Successful Birthday for Landon

Landon had a great birthday! He had a lot of fun at his party, and looked forward to it all day! His favorite present was the 50 cent firetruck from DI. Go figure! In case you can't tell, this is a worm cake . . . special request from Landon!! Silly boy!

Pumpkin Carving

We had a blast carving pumpkins! Landon had the time of his life and soon became best friends with his pumpkin. Halle was absolutely terrified of the inside of the pumpkins, which was hillarious! Nice activity

What's This?!?!?!

Well, most of you know, but if anybody doesn't . . . baby #3 is in the oven and on it's way! It's a little unnerving, but I'm sure I'll make it ok with three kids, after all, people do it every day!! Anyway, about 9 1/2 weeks now, due on May 22nd. Only one baby in there, too, which is good :)
