Baby IAN!!!

After 38 hours of labor, baby Ian is finally here. It truly is a miracle. Angela had a detached cord meaning the baby wasn't getting enough nutrients. The doctor's were worried about his small size so they induced labor. After a long long wait he finally made his appearance this morning at 9:27 am (Maryland time) weighing 5lbs 7 oz. 18inches long. YAY baby IAN!!

Projects....

The boys have decided that they are going to re-build a go-cart. Grandpa gave the boys my childhood go-cart. This go cart provided a lot of good times growing up. The go cart has been sitting at the cabin for years now. We brought it home and the boys have taken it completely a part. They have been mowing lawns all summer and have put some of the money they have earned towards fixing up the go-cart. Jimmy took the frame in for a power coating. Now the boys need to sand it down and fix a few welds and add a front bumper. This should be a fun project for them and an awesome reward to ride it when they are done. I love things like this that they can learn how to fix something and have fun doing it.





On to the oldest kids I mean man of the house. Jim and Randy have decided to put their pilots licenses to good use. They now fly dogs that are in shelters to new owners or to shelters that can take that type of dog. They are also doing some other projects that have to do with flying....any thing they can use for an excuse to fly.

Boating

Our good friend the Levitre's took us boating. We went to Jordanelle reservior. It also was my birthday. What better way to spend the day than with the ones I love the most!! Rylan and Dylan both did the wakeboard. Then it was the tube. Or shall we say the mattress with backsupport. It was a blast. But towards the end of the day we ended up popping the tube. tear... We hope that we get to go again next year. Thanks Levitre's for a fun day.

Zion's

At the end of August we took a little trip down to St. George. We stayed in my boss' summer home. It's beautiful there. We took my parents with us. The kids love the pool. I decided since Jimmy has never seen Zion's national park that we should take everyone over there to check it out. The kids loved it. Here are some of the pictures from our trip.

Casade Springs

I have been meaning to update the blog several times....but never got around to it...So here is what we have been up to. Every summer I love to go to Casade Springs. My parents took us there, so I have tried to keep the tradition. It is a beautiful ride and a nice walk to see nature.
