Girls time out

What a great time! We had an impromptu girls afternoon on Friday and it was so much fun. Terrie and I planned on going to the movies to celebrate her birthday. We invited all the "girls" who could attend. Kim, Keali, and Brandy had to work - we sure missed them. But, the rest of us - Grandma, Mello, Bri, Chelsea, Chasity, the babies, and myself went to see Mama Mia. I had seen it last week with Scott and loved it. We went to lunch at the Bakery at Thanksgiving point and then to the movies. Scott took all the boys to the Legacy center - there's a wonderful first. He and the boys reported a great time, too. We need to to it again soon.

Welcome Asa!

Jaxon welcomed his new baby brother yesterday! Asa Gideon was born at 4:41, July 9, 2008 weighing in at 7 lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long. Mello text earlier in the day that Gabe had prayed for a fast and easy labor and that is just what happened. BriAnna is greatful for those prayers. Her epidural was great, her labor wasn't long, and even though he came posterior, her delivery was good, too. Doc Willis almost missed it. He got stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital from his office. But he did make it in time to catch and stitch! Good job Doc! Jaxon is so excited to be a big brother and if you ask him who the baby looks like, he will tell you that it looks like him.

July Fourth

July fourth was a very nice quiet family day. We attended the traditional fireman's breakfast - well - at least most of us did. Some of us slept in and it was great! We had a little bbq and (amazingly enough) Scott attended the fireworks with us from the vantage point at Cabella's. Danny and the girls joined us there. Shayne entertained everyone with his artistic interpretations of light stick art. Actually the glow sticks were the hit of the evening with everyone.
