Scarlett is here!

We are proud to announce the birth of our daughter Scarlett Lucile yesterday March 1, 2010 at 2:54pm. She weighed 8 pounds, and was 20 inches long. We are currently at the hospital waiting to hopefully go home today sometime. Payton has not yet met her cause he can't come to the hospital, so of course we are both so anxious to go home so we can see him and he can meet his little sister.

Right before we left to go to th hospital late Sunday nite. 

 Welcome Scarlett!

 

She is very sweet! 

 

 Two very proud grandparents who were able to drive 11 hours to get here and made it to see the birth of their second grandchild. Only 4 more months and they will be proud grandparents of 3. You are next Stef! We love you and you will do great!

Our Last Family of 3 Event

Going to In-N-Out was not the big event, but we went a couple of days ago and while we were waiting for our food Payton decided he couldn't wait any longer so he needed to eat his ketchup. I just had to take a picture because it was very funny to watch him.

Our big event last night was that we went as a family to the Pacific Tigers Basketball Game. We have been before and we really enjoy it. The games are about 2 hours which is just right for Payton. Josh has been to quite a few with various friends and family members throughout the season. The tickets are cheap and kids under 12 are free. Josh is very excited for Payton to get older so they can go together more often. Payton really enjoys it and was a really good boy last night. 

Before the game!

Waiting for the game to start!

Here they come! Payton loves the tiger!

It was nice because there was no one sitting in front of us and we were on an end so Payton was able to have a little bit of freedom.

I brought him some stickers to keep him entertained also. He thought it was so fun to put them on my stomach, or so he thought he was putting them on baby sister.

We brought candy also. He loves sour gummy worms! 

After a while he took the stickers off me and lined them up around the edge of his shirt. He just amazes me sometimes when he does things like this. I know we didn't teach him . I think he is like his mom and has a very organized mind and likes to keep things in an organized fashion.

A Day at Table Mountain

When we were in Oroville about two weeks ago, we got to all go to Table Mountain. The weather was beautiful. We had such a wonderful time.  The kids all did a great job. They wore there rain boots so their shoes wouldn't get all muddy. They were troopers hiking all over. Their favorite part was catching the salamanders. I personally wont touch those things but the kids did!

The family that was all in town.

The men thinking they are cool. We just let me think that!

The beautiful woman!

Walking to find the salamanders

Jaydn was so NOT afraid of the salamanders. He would try and catch them himself and he did at times.

Payton wasn't too thrilled initially, but he finally did touch one and tried to hold it.

If you can tell Paytons face looks a little disgusted cause the salamander is on him I am sure. 

This was a sweet spot for finding salamanders. 

Aren't Josh's parents so cute? I am so lucky to have such wonderful in-laws, that make me feel so loved and a part of the family.

We all had to hike down this steep part to get to the bottom of the waterfall. Luckily no one go hurt at all.

This is from the top looking down to where we were headed.

Brady, Tracy, and Kelsey. Brady is so strong! HEHE!

Payton enjoyed playing with the sticks he found.

We found a different way up that was a little easier in some ways, but I have to say my calfs were burning. 

You can see the waterfall in the background. We hiked all the way down and then back up. Being 8.5 months pregnant actually didn't make it too difficult. It was a good work out

Heading back he saw cows and the kids wanted to get close to them, but they kept moving farther and farther away from us. 

This is the beautiful view we got to see when we were heading back to the cars. Being out in nature is just so amazing to me sometimes The beauty that our Father in Heaven has created for us is just so miraculous.
