He is Here!!

Ruary Dale arrived into the world this morning at 10:56 AM. He weighed in at a whopping 9 pounds 11 ounces and was 21.5 inches long. Kelli did awesome pushing for almost 2 hours, but his head just was too big and ended up having to deliver him by C-section. Mom and baby are doing wonderful. Dad is doing good too. Everyone is very tired. Pics will be posted soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUARY!!

Come on Ruary!

Dear Ruary-
Your mom and dad really want you to arrive. They want to know what you look like, what your cry sounds like, and what color hair you have. The rest of the family wants to know all these things too. We all want to kiss your little nose and toes. Can't hardly wait to meet you.
Love,
Auntie Lori

Peace Man!!

Halloween 2008. Steve and I decided to try out the Hippie lifestyle. It was fun to do. The flare bottoms ended up being pretty time consuming, but I think they turned out great. We went to our friend Travis' house for a Halloween/Housewarming Party. Fun was had by all.


I only lost one or two layers of skin taking off the tattoos off my cheeks.


Oh, and my Network was there...

Roloff Farms Pumpkin Patch

While the kids were here last week, we went to Roloff Farms, the farm from Little People, Big World on TLC. It was really cool and weather was awesome. We saw Amy and Matt, the mom and dad from the family. They are both little people. Haley watches the show, but was too bashful to talk to Amy and have her pic taken with her.


The 'fun house' was a little creepy. This is one of the scenes they had in it. There was one with a 'baby' pumpkin I was going to post, but I didn't want to scare Kelli.



The kids wanted a whole bunch of pumpkins, be we finally narrowed it down to one each. We sent them home with them to carve.

Misc. pics and news...

I have not posted any pics for a while, so I figured I would give everyone
something to look at. A picture says a thousand words, right?
First few pictures are from August when Tyler and Haley visited. Maritime museum, trolley ride and Mariners game...









Owen was popping Haley's bubbles as fast as she could blow them.



And, it is official. Steve asked me to marry him last night. We are officially engaged.

Babies, Babies Everywhere (Almost)

Well two out of the three babies in our family have been born. And on the same day. Jennifer gave birth to Marley at 2:00 AM on October 22 and Alina gave birth by C-section to Lila at 3:00 pm on October 22. Exciting times. They have the same birthday. How fun is that going to be. I am having a hard time not running down there to squeeze the little ones. Moms and babies are both doing great.

Now we are awaiting the arrival of the Schimmy baby. Can't wait to see him.

Busy Week!!

Steve went to Medford on Sunday and picked up two of his demons, I mean children. It has been a busy week. We are going to take them to Roloff's Farms tomorrow to see the sights and get an extremely overpriced pumpkins. But it should be fun.
Like Steve puts it, we are making memories. Even though T does not even like me.

I am anxiously awaiting phone calls about all the Baby Mama's at the beach. It was so fun going through all of the stuff Kel got at the shower. I agree that everyone was very giving and it made us all feel very lucky that we have such an amazing group of family and friends.
