Lily and Garrett!

Here are pictures of Garrett and Lily at about the same age. they really look alike. Especially when they smile.

Memorial Day!

The Saturday before Memorial Day, we joined in a service project to put flags on veteran's graves at a nearby cemetery. It was a great experience for all of us.

Our New daughter is here!

Our new daughter is here. Diana (nickname- not here real name)was born on April 13th at 6:49 AM. Gil was still deployed so my grandma and uncle came. My uncle watched my kids and My grandma came to the hospital with me. She did an amazing job staying awake most of the night. It was sure nice having her there. Diana weighed 8lb 7oz and was 21 1/4 inches long. She took to nursing right away. I was so happy to leave the hospital and go home the next day. I really don't like being in the hospital and all of their rules, etc. I must admit, I had great nurses and they made the stay better (much better than the nurses when I had James).

Camping Trip August 2012

I am a little behind. I am going to try and catch up before our new baby is born in about 5 weeks. Last summer was a lot of fun. We really enjoyed being in our new house and being in the great northwest. We loved the mild weather. It cools down quite a bit at night here and it didn't do that back in Tennessee. We took a family camping trip to the beach. It was a lot of fun. We had really nice weather. The kids loved the ocean, although it was a little too cold for swimming. The kids (minus Shirley) did wade in the water. Shirley broke his foot a couple of weeks before the trip and had a cast. It was not fun trying to keep it clean camping, and keeping the sand out while on the beach. My Grandma joined us and it was so nice having her with us. Everyone really enjoyed riding the go carts. It was fun. There is also nothing like waking up and sitting in front of a campfire. It was really cute when Shirley shared his peach with James. I also love the picture of the three oldest holding hands in the ocean.
