Jessica is now 6lbs 9oz and 20 inches long.

KEEPING IT TOGETHER

Between this.....


And this....


And This....
I don't know where the days go and by the end of the day I can't even remember if I have used the bathroom....but I love my kids and am excited for the new house (done by Wednesday...so they say)

FAMILY FUN

One of the great things about having a baby is that family comes to visit...which we love. Chads sister, Tanya, and her family came up from the valley (phoenix). I wished I had gotten a picture of all of them but really the only picture I got besides Matt and Jessica (below) was of Tanya in her swimming suite and I won't make the mistake of posting that again:) The place they stayed had an outdoor pool so we let the kids go swimming...which Justin loves.



Justin wears Chad out by jumping into the pool and having Chad catch him at least 500 times.

(long story short) Tracy was in Tucson so she caught a quick flight up to see the kids...just so happens the same weekend Jeff was in Albuquerque, NM teaching, rented a car, and drove over to help Chad paint the new house so we were able to see them (and they were able to see each other).


p.s. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Jeff for helping us paint. We NEVER would have gotten it all done in time with out you.

JESSICA

Scowling just like Daddy

I was folding (a ton of) laundry and Justin is always such a big helper. Jessica was sleeping...like all sweet newborns do...and anything that was hers Justin just kept piling on her. Like I said such a big helper...I love it! He even throws away her diapers with out me asking:)

At this point anything to keep entertained
Not wanting to get in the car.

And I have no idea...the creative mind of a 2 1/2 yr old!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Just wanted to shout HOORAY! and congratulate my sister Ryanne...SHE'S GETTING MARRIED! I wish that I lived closer so that I could give her a big hug and meet this Casey guy...guess I'll have to wait until October. Love You Ryanne!

More Pics!

And YES, that is snow in Arizona in May! I actually think we got about 8 inches.

HERE SHE IS!

BABY GIRL

Finally here are some pictures of our new baby girl, Jessica Marie. She was born on the 16th at 12:38 (making her and Justin exactly 2 1/2 yrs apart and shares a birthday with her cousin Adalea who turned 2). Chad keeps telling people that it was "too easy of a delivery"...give me a break...easy!...even if I only did have to push 1 time no labor/delivery is easy and it is not like I am planning on doing this all again anytime soon:)

She weighed 6lbs even and was 19 inches long.

And this is what "Big Brother" Justin has been up to.....

Kind of fun and very entertaining.......bath paints...and yes they do just wash right off

Eating strawberry shortcake....or just licking off all of the whipped cream
