SHE'S HERE!!!!!!

Ezmai Sarah was born this morning. She was taken by emergency c-section. She weighed 5lbs 1 ounce and was 19 inches long. She is currently in the NICU for the next couple of weeks. During delivery she inhaled some amniotic fluid and they think she may have pneumonia. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

The Choice I Made

As I was searching the new LDS Family Services website I came across these amazing adoption stories related by several birthmothers. There is no denying that these are some amazing women!!!

In our own adoption news, we are expecting Ezzie to be born within the next 2 weeks!!!!!! Wish us luck. :)

Wedding #2

This past weekend I was able to go back to Idaho for my sister's wedding. We had a great time and everything was beautiful. Congratulations Jen and Matt!!!
Don't they make a cute couple?

Aren't they sweet?
This is what happens when you buy 150 balloons. Jen's car looked like it belonged in Disney's Up.

Birthday #2

When both sets of grandparents and all of your aunts and uncles live across the country, some presents are bound to arrive a little late. This usually means T ends up with at least two substantial "birthdays" every year. Lucky kid!!!
Can you tell he's excited about his new green truck?

I think it's pretty obvious that his Daddy adores him.
Thanks to Grandpa, Grandma, and all of the Aunts and Uncles for all of the school clothes.
He still loves Spongebob. Thanks Aunt Jeni and Uncle Mattie.

I Have to Brag

I'm going to take this opportunity to brag about my husband regarding his previous/only post. Not only did he pass his board exam, he passed in the 98th percentile!!!! Not too shabby huh? We're all soooo proud of him and all of his hard work. Congratulations babe!

5!!!!!

Saturday Tayeson turned 5!! It has gone entirely too fast. I'm sure you're wondering what could elicit this kind of reaction.
A shiny new green bike of course!!!

Can you tell he was a little excited? He spent the morning riding circles through the living room, kitchen, and dining room.
I love how excited he gets when it's time to open presents.
Hmmmm, I wonder what could be in this one.
Grandma C got him all of the bike necessities including a totally obnoxious horn!!! Can you tell he absolutely loved driving us crazy with it?
Modeling our new helmet. Thanks Grandma.
For whatever reason he felt it necessary to try and keep the balloon down while he was opening his presents. It was quite entertaining.
After lunch we were off the the "gray truck museum" (any car dealership with a gray truck). He became very cultured while living in Philly since we frequently attended many of the museums there and in Manhattan. He seems slightly disturbed that there are not many here so he has come up with some of his own.
Though all he ever talked about was the gray truck, he only wanted to look at the black one. He was soooo excited to finally go to the museum.
We decided to go with a Mickey Mouse cake this year. It didn't turn out too bad either.
We had some of his friends over for a barbecue and cake. They gave him an awesome new red truck that he was absolutely thrilled to death about. Happy Birthday Tayeson!!! We love you soooo much.
I also have to say Happy Birthday to Sarah (our birthmom)!!! She turned 21 today.

Sunset Boat Ride

Earlier this month we had the opportunity to spend some time with Bill, the realtor who sold us our house, and his wife. We took their boat out on Lake Champlain and headed to dinner on one of the islands. It was fabulous and we really had a great time, not to mention how beautiful it was.
Here we are with Bill.

Sooooo beautiful. We love it here!!!
Sunset was so gorgeous on the ride back. We're so lucky to live here and get to look at this every day.
