Aaron's a Daddy!

Congratulations to my brother, Aaron and my sister in law, Angela!

Angela's been having some strong contractions the past few days and started having really strong ones early this morning. They called their Mid-Wife and were told to drive to the hospital. When they got there, Angela's water was starting to break. They got her checked in and she was checked to see if she was dialated. Angela was telling them "Please don't say I'm a 2!" But to her and Aarons surprise she was already at 9 cm!! Yeah! Happy Day! She pushed for about a half hour and they were blessed with a beautiful baby BOY at 8:43 am! (Those are the kind of birthing stories you want to have for yourself) I'm so happy Angela had a very fast labor and everything was okay. He weighed in just under 7 lbs 10 oz. They hadn't measured him yet when I talked/saw them on Skype this morning. His name is still undecided. He's very sweet and content. Such a cutie with lots of dark wavy hair. Mom and baby are doing good.

In Loving memory of Evan Chandler Haddock...

Today 2 years ago was a sad and tragic day as my nephew, Evan, left earthly life but returned to his Heavenly Father. He will be thought of often and remembered always. My heart, prayers and thoughts go out to the Haddock family during this time. To my loving sister Angela, my strong brother-in-law Jim, positive niece Danielle (age 12), charismatic niece Kailey (age 9), sweeter then ever nephew Cameron (age 6), and happy niece Savannah (age 1).

We love you Evan and miss you every day!

Reno/California Trip...

Teigen and I were able to fly into Reno and visit with my Grandparents, Aunts,Uncles and cousin while the Haddocks were there too. We had a great time. We went to Circus Circus, had BBQ's, floated down the canal that surrounds my Aunt and Uncles house/backyard and strolled downtown Reno. After that the Haddocks (minus Jim-he had to fly back to Florida for work) and I drove to California to stay with our parents. We did a lot of fun things there too like the waterpark, played in their backyard (which is beautiful and peaceful), Sacramento Zoo, Fairytale Town, movies, play games, visit friends, see family and did other fun things. We had a great time and SO glad we were able to do that, with the help of family. :) It was a blast!

Here are pictures from the trip. There are many....so view as you wish.
